Seems that you were right all along, Balbock. Oh the irony, not even 24 hours ago I wrote this:

Haha, I got exactly the same objectives. Decent time, considering you were using Reave to kill stuff.

Maybe I was right but my build was wrong to do it right...
I never thougt stacking Reave would be so effectiv. But Ziegrif's time gave the first prove to its effectivness.

And your post is not the only irony in this case. ^^

Thank you and congrats to your solo. There was a time when I felt the same as you (I still kinda do when I watch videos from people like Sirian), but if you keep doing solos they'll start to feel easier and easier. 

And modest ! You're the best imo but I may be a little biased towards Swiss compatriots Anyways that ridiculous time you pulled out kinda proves my point.

Thanks to Prestacious' encouragements I tried again and managed to do a better time with a 6/6/6/4/4 power damage build. I tried the 6a evol on Reave as advised by Ziegrief and it proved effective. I was also lucky with objectives getting devices, pizza, pizza. I finished wave 10 objective with 5 rockets left so next thing I have to learn is how to use them more effectively.
However my hands are still shaking so I don't think I'll try again soon xD All that stress is really exhausting.

Nice run Ziegrif, but y the hell piercing mod on the acolyte?

Hell if I know.
I don't use the acolyte much... but it is a projectile weapon right?
If it is it should negate all armor anyway.
Whops.
I believe I just derped big time.
Contribute that to being really really pissed off.

Maybe I'll try something stupid and just stack Reave like mad and see what that does.

I did not see it coming that Reave is actually a boss killer.
Screw utility it can do 840 dmg to barriers and 630 dmg to armor per tick and it stacks up to 3 times if boosted with gear and amp 4.
That's potentially 2520 dmg to barriers and 1890 dmg to armor per tick for at least a few seconds.
I guess it's not stupid at all. Whodathunkit.

@kouzrah: Congrats! Significant improvement on time. That's impressive. Haha It's all about having shaky hands after a crazy solo run. HoF updated!

@Ziegrif: I think we all learned a little something about reave over the past few days. lol I think I'm just gonna reave everything from now on.

The Acolyte is a projectile weapon and cannot pierce anything, so piercing mod is useless.

I actually warmed up with pug platinums before doing the solo! She's not bad in plat at all. Yeah, I'm loving the friendly competition, but I'm not trying this one again. haha I've never pulled sub 30 on xbox solos and it's not happenin now! Looking forward to hendrix's vid.

I think i wasn't trying to pierce but cause more armor dmg with the acolyte.
Course rage is a state where reason is not that easily implemented.

Congrats to your new time! I'm sure you could shave off at least 5-10 minutes with your rockets. I usually try to have only 1 rocket for Wave 10 so I can switch targets, but sometimes I gamble and shoot all my rockets before Wave 10. I did so in my 24 min run and luckily it paid off.

You know: If it's stupid but it works it's not stupid.

Your are right. Thanks for the opportunity to learn all the stuff.

And if you kill people they die!

I thought reave was a defensive power and I never specced for 6A so yeah thought it was stupid at first.
But it works.
Have not seen anyone on these forums even mention it. Ever.
As I already said in the post you quoted.

Dat color scheme for the Justicar.

[JewelsWinnfield]

My Justicar had a weird blue, white and orange color scheme before this. Now she's simply black and red (like 80% of my characters) because I like that combination and it reminds of the N7 logo. Also, I'm too lazy to come up with an original color scheme.

Probably on Tuesday, a week after the first week started.

I duno.
Tuesday seems like the national update all game related things day, kind of like a world wide gamer holiday. Gaming tuesday!
Or maybe it's monday.
Or a plot twist happens and it's actually wednesday!
Ooooooh.~

[Prestacious]

I was gonna make the week releases on Tuesday. Just to make it a full week in case anybody else is still giving it a go and I guess it's a little time to give soloers a break and build some suspense! Edit: Not to mention, cyclonics! 

HoF updated!

 Well might aswell post this. 

That's basicly my experience of the solo.
There were so many fails I picked out the ones that made me rage the most.
Maybe my terrible luck and situational awareness will make someones day a tad better.

I could feel the rage haha. Some good laughs too. The brute flying by you down the stair case, and then getting hit by the bashee ball. Not to mention the one shot ravager kills, marauder elbows, cannibal sandwhich and brute double teams. I'm sure this solo challenge will be etched in your memory for a while

Edit: I'm uploading my vid in mkv format, I'm not sure how the quality will be, but the whole process is going to have taken 15hrs as opposed to like 8. Crazy!

Very nice !
But when I saw the loadout I thought "but why has he only the acolyte?". Then I read the challenge description again and saw 

Weapons: Acolyte and/****or**** Disciple

Duh !

Anyways, here is my vid.
