Once I got the Huntress, I played a game with her and felt completely lost. I'm not sure how to build her to maximize her usefulness, but beyond that, I don't know how to play her to make her shine. A sniper that fires a power now and then? An SMG-toting Asari with debuffs powered up by TC? Do I try and BE from cloak?

what is this I don't even

[Flambrose]

You wait until they fix her tactical cloak.

As-is she can work with cloak -> dark channel for mooks and warp incendiary for bosses, but it's still a shadow of what it could have been.

[BleedingUranium]

Firing either power while cloaked increases their damage for their entire duration, while BEs are not affected.

I'd use the power damage boost at Cloak 6 and spec Dark Channel for damage, Warp for debuff or damage, and passive for full power damage.

[Lathlaer]

Yeah, don't go for biotic explosions under TC. Appart from the fact that it doesn't affect the damage, it's one of the instances where TC cooldown actually hinders you. I tried to play "only powers under cloak", that was a disaster

[rlro]

Drop Dark Channel and max out everything else. Add a good shotgun and you are good to go.

Until TC gets fixed, I'm running a 4/6/6/6/4 build with her. TC-->DC eats away a Ravager in 5 seconds without me touching it, then it jumps to the next guy if there' one close by. Bosses: TC-->DC-->Shoot your big DPS weapon (Wraith, Claymore, Piranha...etc works magic)--->Warp--->Shoot again.
No need to rinse and repeat, because once you finished this sequence, that boss will be gone.
(Careful with floating Praetorians).

But as mentioned above, once the TC gets fixed, she'll start to shine like nobody's business.

Edit: Check out xcal's gameplay with her, he uses the same build as I do. Pretty effective, even with the gimped TC.

I only tried her day one and as with all new characters, I read players opinions here then did a build, went into a solo, failed....put her back on the shelf.

After playing with friends from BSN and discussing this character, I am going to wait until she is fixed.

[GallowsPole]

I swear, the answer to everything is drop "insert power here", and equip a shotgun. I dont get why people even bother playing anything other than a soldier.

If you plan to use powers, why not max out cloak and take the power damage evo at rank 6?

Eviscerator/Wraith + Acolyte.
I play her like I play Valkyrie (stealth instead of tankyness).

Doesn't incendiary end the effects of warp? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Soldiers and infiltrators have always been the kings of weapon DPS. Want to play a caster? Adept, sentinel or engineer up.

You can play her as a caster with cloak, sure. But its not the way most people were looking to play her imo. I certainly wasn't.

She does have excellent synergy with biotic teams though, so that's good.

DC does a lot of damage. I do see why you say to drop it and use a shotgun, and I do see it as an effective build, but I have seen that happen to so many characters that they start to feel the same. It would be nice to try an use the powers that the kit has, rather than the weapons everyone can use.

Well... when all the powers work.

[KentGoldings]

She's an Adept that can cloak. Play her that way.

[ROBOTICSUPERMAN]

ATM I'm using tc with damage, recharge, power damage. And use dc, then cloak and warp to detonate and to get a huge boost to warp dot.
But is it worth spacing tc with damage recharge bonus power to get both dc and warp buffed but warp will not be as powerful? Any ideas :S

Well, thats kinda my point. Why bother playing a caster, if you are just going to use her as any other inf. Whatever you think of Dark Channel, it's one of her main abilities. The only reason people are going to play her is to take advantage of the Warp/Incendiary bug. Once thats fixed, I bet you wont see it in pugs anymore.

[KentGoldings]

I'm leaning toward damage over extra power. This way you DC from cloak and then start shooting. Follow-up with warp after CD.

Warp and warp ammo is almost as good, and isn't a bug ...Cloak, warp scion, claymore to face (with warp ammo IV). No other infiltrator can do that. On par with GI, without that awful HM overlay.

sorry - for big quote

Asari are Biotics - they need to be played as they are - with STYLE;)

I play the Huntress with SMG/Pistols and Melee 6/0/6/6/6 or i sacrifice the last evo in Huntress.

[Learn To Love Yourself]

I like 4/6/6/6/4 on her at the moment. I did a melee build that was also great fun and just made the switch tonight.

Claymore w/ HVB & Smart Choke + Acolyte will work wonders. Maybe the Acolyte is not even necessary. Anyway, I like to run with Warp Ammo, since it won't cover up BEs like Incendiary Ammo will.

On mooks, I like to Cloak, DC, Shoot. Most trash targets will die with this combo, and DC will move on to the next target for you to shoot again.

For bosses, I like to Cloak & Warp first to get the debuff, shoot until you're ready to Cloak & cast DC. You at least have the option for a BE after that or you can continue to take advantage of Warp Ammo's bonus vs primed targets (since BE damage is gimped vs Collectors, I find myself preferring full damage bonus with the Claymore. Unsure if it is the most efficient way though)

[SlayerGP]

Warp ammo works much better with her than incendiary. Everything melts when they're primed. TC-DC for mooks and TC-warp for bosses.

Also, in my experience, shotguns suck with her. It requires you to play CQC, which I don't feel works, because she doesn't have an "oh sh*t" button to either protect herself or clear an area. Much better off with a good AR (like the Harrier, PPR or Saber) or a good pistol (like the Carnifex or Paladin)

[peddroelm]

3/6/6/6/5 ?

Cloak is pretty useless on this char (1-3 point wonder at most) ..

(power damage from cloak is pretty useless - DC cancels on recast (not spamable) , warp does negligible damage) ... .

So max Warp (debuff bosses // abuse with incendiary ); Dark Channel (cast once in a blue moon -frees cooldown for warp; opens up rank 6+6 BEs) ; and passive for maximum weapon damage (again power damage pretty useless on this char ) ... Spend rest on almost maxing fitness (pretty fragile char anyway)

Use a high burst DPS weapon capable of mid-range fighting like the Claymore.. She is not durable enough for CQC ..

If she feels weak to you - add incendiary ammo ...
