Heh, is that why you bailed on Grim68 and me? ;-)
Yes. Never played with either of you so again, nothing personal.

Had a nice game on Ghost Hazard v Reapers with Balbock that turned into a trio. Despite my venom he cleaned up with the BW HFI.
I'm sorry I bailed on the second game. I thought I had time to finish before taking my child to her swimming lesson -- turns out I didn't. It probably looked like I rage missiled and rage quit. It was more like -- can I move this game along in time? Nope, gotta go... Anyway, good games while they lasted!
Your Venom has the unique ability to improve teammates sniper rifle accuracy, hasn't it?
Your GE play was great too. All the staggered enemies and your Turret was allways were it was needed the most (Flaming Banshees, killing swarmers, refill teammates shields). I wish I had brought a kit into that game that has a better synergy with a GE (Proberbly something with incinerate).
No problem. I allready thought your leave was due to a lack of time. Nuking a spawn at the beginning of a wave that effective didn't looked like rage to me.
Thanks for the good games (the secound one stayed good but different... and a trio)
Btw I had a small accident with my screenshot key while one of the greetings:
I bumped into FuriousFelicias lobby for two games. Altough it were mainly duos, we made both in sub 19.
tbh it was both geth.
LOL, I did not quit, the host migrated and you were the one that did not migrate with me and 1 other player. Your vacated place was later filled by FuriousFelicia for a couple of comfortable games. I really liked his support Volus with Venom and Shield Boost, it makes the game against Cerberus way easier than it should be.
Just had a few games with SMR. Thanks for dragging our poor scrubby carcasses out of that last cerberus/condor game! Your SI - Krysae kit is seriously a menace to society, has to be seen to be believed
! You had mentioned the build before IIRC, so when you pulled it out, I got curious... it did not disappoint! I also loved seeing "SMR [Missile] Turret" in the feed. Fun games!
I thought your name was familiar. When I saw you switch to the Salarian Engie I knew it was time for Sgt. Hosey to join the mission. I hit a rhythm with the kit that just isn't possible to hit on a console. He looks at stuff and it dies, and on PC he can look at stuff even faster.
GGs that was fun ![]()
In a manner of speaking, just a lurker around here. I saw unusually many BSNers on tonight. Unfortunately I had a stupid run-in with three of them earlier and decided to stay as far away from BSNers (that I know of) as possible in the future so I only played half a BSN game. I play for fun and I've really had it with score-obssessed people. Know you're a fair player though so nothing personal.

Glad you are enjoying playing on PC!
At first I went for HSoldier to complement your Turian (also seriously solid play with that kit!), then I thought, what in the name of the Dalatrass are we doing NOT playing salarians ? Only would have been sweeter ending up on Jade ![]()
Out of curiosity, do you prime with the krysae, then detonate with proxy mine? If that's the case, it must be even more monstrous against geth I imagine: stagger, area prime, hitscan area detonator otherwise not available, and their propensity to stick together must make for a delicious combination!

I do endorse all Council Races, even though the Asari are all handicapped from being Biotically focused. Still, the ones with Warp are useful.
Basically for the Krysae Salarian Infiltrator it's 6/6/6/6/0 with Power Damage instead of Headshot Damage evolution, since the Krysae doesn't register headshots. Cloak, fire the Krysae with Incendiary Ammo, this primes against Health and Armor, immediately follow with Proxy Mine that will detonate the Incendiary Ammo, debuff damage taken by 20%, and the Mine itself is still in time for the Cloak damage bonus. The remaining two Krysae Shots are either to mop up, or to stagger priority targets until the next Cloak > Proximity Mine cycle. Energy Drain is used as a utility when fighting Atlas or Primes, to keep my shields topped up and gain Damage Reduction for the extended fight. In this case, I will alternate Proximity Mine with Energy Drain every other cycle.
For Geth, I use a lot more Energy Drains than against other factions. Taking the radius evolution makes it a suitable alternative to Proximity Mine vs the Geth faction, as it will detonate Tech Combos on them even when their shields are down.
There are a few other variations that come into play. A Marauder, for example, I will Cloak, then Energy Drain, then shoot Krysae with Incendiary Ammo. This will leave the Marauder with a sliver of health, but the Incendiary DoT will kill him before he is even done staggering. Cloak > Energy Drain > Shoot is a good formula for any shielded priority targets, actually, such as Nemesis and Phantoms.
After the three shots are fired from the Krysae, I finish up with Cloak > Proximity Mine before reloading. This enables a Fire Explosion vs targets that were originally shielded, such as Phantoms.
I take the Damage Barrel and Ultra Light Materials on the Krysae. Reasons being that Piercing Mods do not affect the Krysae, and the lower ammo capacity encourages me to actually USE Clip Packs which would otherwise be overlooked.
Know you're a fair player though so nothing personal.
I'd agree that Rusty is a pretty fair player. If by "fair" you mean "insanely OP", that is.
With the Krysae build I don't play him as a sniper, more like an engineer that can cloak
Krysae SI is OP, Biovar pls nerf.
I wish I had brought a kit into that game that has a better synergy with a GE (Proberbly something with incinerate).
Overload kit is the most fun because that turret is regularly priming for FEs.

I did not mean to imply you only go for salarians, but given your GT, I thought it would be a fun gimmick! Good to know you tend stay away from biotics though, I will keep that in mind for the next time we land in the same lobby!
Thanks for the exhaustive explanation as well, I really appreciate you going in detail and ironing out all the wrinkles of the build! I tend to see Infiltrators as single-target oriented kits, especially the SI who does so well with the big boomsticks, so to turn it into a great CC/mook-killer guy, which still retains the ability of dealing large damage to big armoured units, takes some out-of-the-box thinking, as far as I am concerned. I will try your build out sometime, see if/how I click with it.

The trick is getting comfortable with the long refire and reload times on the Krysae. It can be very unforgiving if you are unfamiliar with it. The buffer is that it staggers all the things.
Dove into some PUUG action before work and found myself in a top-notch lobby featuring BioticPulse. Also contained a rock-solid pugging player I've run into a couple/few times named LyricKen (I believe?), but I don't think he posts here. Needless to say, even before we boarded the shuttle it was evident from the banners and UR weaponry that I was outranked (and outclassed *ahem*).
I was my Indra (III) Paladin, and BP was a Saber TSent from what I recall. We got Geth/London as a foursome and Collectors/Reactor as a threesome before packing up shop...full extractions both times.
BP got to witness my unique 'skill' of trying to goad a floating crab into dropping, getting perhaps a little too close, then receiving an interior view of said crab. But I swear...that first time I thought I heard the sound of a rocket and figured I was in the clear LOL. And yes, I said "first time" -- implying plural crab chowmps. Crabs dig my flava.
Ran into a gip with biowarepls running his shadow, to bad the host bailed. Then hosted a cerberus game and andy ended up joining while I ran with my good ole shadow, it was fun.

I left, because I got grabbed through a ****** wall column by a Phantom which had her sword shot off, I clearly heard it break. Thought I'll finish her with an electric slash. Nope. Stabbed in mid flip.
Instant rage quit. Idiots programmed sync-kills in this game.
Also, DaemionMoadrin joined for a few games and it wasn't bad till we faced Geth. Triple taps upon triple taps and he couldn't see half the enemies. Biower pls. Get Q&A for ME4.

Thanks for the revives. ![]()

Balbock joined a lobby my Vorcha Soldier was in, together with an HMSol and a Jugg, and he set up his GE with GPSMG. We got Collectors on Jade and there was much BS, especially on wave 6 for some reason. But still, many melees were exchanged, and many FEs were primed and detonated. GG, dude. As a bonus I managed to blow up an A-bomb (it was going for Balbock) in the extraction zone and take down only the Jugg for partial extraction ![]()
Ran into Marksmad and ParatrooperSean. Good and fast games ![]()
Balbock joined a lobby I was in but left immediately...

I should have remembered it earlier. I ran into your lobbies a few times in the last days. This is the reason why I left nearly every lobby again until now:
[...]
I mostly state my games with my QFI on dagger vs Geth, start alone, and hope to have the first 2 waves for myself.
[...]
The two games against different enemies were good. Maybe I stay for one of your Geth games, because FQI is awesome and I have never seen more than one in a game yet...

Devices in Wave 6 are usually reason for a mess. But on Jade?... I'd rather camp the center position on London Platinum without a shield boosting volus. That's proberbly easier...
Anyway good game.
I expected a A-Bomb incident at some point, but not so late in the game. ^^ However I hope you noticed my thank you close to an ammo box (A-Bomb with one Health bar left and a "randomly" placed Geth-Turret...)
Sadly a Incindiary-IV-Reegar-Kroguard joined into the lobby after that game... Those guys are a shame for every Krogan...
Ran into Prinsesbubblegum in the next game. Cerberus had to deal with 2 Claymores (One carried by their Batarian Sentinel and the other one carried by my HSol) on Dagger. Cerberus lost...
Thanks for the good game and the 300M.

KateM28 with the beautiful Grunt banner?
I think I spotted a Reegar-Carbine on one of the other Pugs... Sometimes I hate my rule to leave every Gold Lobby that has a Reegar-Carbine in it... Sorry.

I hadn't clocked that you were on here. That was a fairly annoying game for me on Vancouver. My equipment wasn't recognised in game, so my Disruptor IV did nothing to Marauder or Banshee shields (and no stun on Marauders either), my Cyclonic III allowed me to be one-hit-killed by Cannibals, and my Valiant hit like a pea shooter. (I normally put an AR on the TGI but I had to play him with a sniper rifle because I read on here that it mustn't be done.) I did manage to kill a couple Ravagers in between being synced by Banshees from 20m away ![]()

I should have mentioned that earlier, it was very neatly done. As I recall, you revived me, I dodged towards the ammo crate, your turret obediently blew me up with that A-Bomb, and you revived me again. Nice. ![]()
Afterwards, I didn't hang around to play with the Level 1 KroGuard with a Reegar and no equipment either....
Not a pug but I played a Platinum and Gold game with Altbouli, MrNiceBuckets02 and David Diablo. Fun quick games and a David Diablo Banshee feeding by Altbouli
Vote kicked Altbouli to start then got vote kicked by DD and Nicebuckets. Goddamn scrubs!!

Think I remember the tag Balbock from around here. He/she/they joined our Thunderdome/Collectors GiP, and left right away. Smart move, as it turned out to be a 28-minute disaster in which I practically dragged the Juggernaut and Demolisher onto the shuttle on my back. Turns out both had sub-100 N7 and CP.
Ran into BiowerPls, had our usual quick games... until the Primes cheated and became invisible. ![]()
Ran into TheNightSlasher. After convincing the Reegar wielders that they should ready up we had a quick match on White Hazard vs. Collectors. I scored low as promised. ![]()
Ran into DemiserOfD. Reactor Hazard/Cerberus. I'm not sure what went wrong but I already ran out of all consumables by wave 8 or so and from then on it was a fun revive marathon. Extracted anyway, which was the only reason I played AIU (10/10 extractions).

Good game. I left after that one game because the host set it to silver. Collectors are fun!
Also ran into SalInfMR, MajorStupidity0 and CaptainCanada9 for 3 games. I know the first two are on here; not sure about the third.
All 3 were fun games. There were one or two lag spikes which was a slight blip in an otherwise great set of games. I stayed for the last one despite preset cerberus and picked a safe character. Good games!
