Glad you're attending to the needed Bartender duties. Message me when you are ready, I may be in a match. If so I won't message back till I'm done, do note that I will let you know when I'm ready.
Looking forward to this.


Just trying to get the weekly challenge out of the way early ;)

Good good.
I'm going to start Bartender weekly challenges soon anyway. This is a good way to start it.

Pugs don't understand the power of speed.
Also: Spam dem nades like a boss! This thread needs pics of candy grenades...

I have had problems with the class for the following reasons:

1. He can pull off awesome combos if you're in a team that can setup combos with you, but PUGing, he's limited by either the enemies Lift can affect, or the number of grenades.

2. Squishy.

3. Better adepts.

4. Better classes than adept.

1. Or you know, reave.

2. Best vanilla mobility in the game. Use it.

3. I can only think of the Fury being "better" than the drell, but even then the Drell does CC better.

4. Subjective opinion is subjective.

Yes. Like, every other class except Infiltrator.

Hey, different play styles and all that. My favorite over all is probably Sentinel. Awesome biotic combos with the base human kit, awesome combos with the Asari sent., and the KroSent is just fun. And then there's the other Krogan sentinel, the best melee in the game.

It takes skill to use the Drells effectively. New players are probably scared off by the squishiness. Also, lag will make the Drells more difficult to use. I have been using the Drell Adept and Drell Vanguard quite a bit these two weeks. Half the time, it takes at least 2 Claymore shots and 1 or 2 cluster grenades to kill a Nemesis. Aim at the head, pull the trigger and the Nemesis miraculously teleports a few meters away with only a few bars off the shield.

Ah, so you admit to being indoctrinated.

Only cool kids use drells. 50% power damage, reave, cluster grenades, speed. What more do you want?

I wish everyone would stop insinuating Reave bombing was the only way to play him. He's a weapon damage powerhouse with Warp ammo that's much more entertaining than other point and shoots.

I'm not quite sure where you got the idea that you cannot be both at the same time.

Actually, let me rephrase that.. what I meant to say is, one does not exclude the other.

I replaced the drelldept with the bat slasher. Batarian ass wins over fishy scales any day.
If i really feel the need to play something speedy, I just go power damage drellinf.

People complaining that they are tired of just Reaving and throwing clusters. It makes me upset that they don't even want to try using him differently. He deserves to be treated better than a one-hit-wonder. :unsure:

Everything about this post is wrong (well most of it anyway). I'll give you "squishy", but that's what Drell speed is for.

We are actually agreeing and your post feeds into my point.

People seem to think that they are mutually exclusive and side with the Reave bombs.

Its kind of a good thing. The drelldept is so good that if someone is playing it right, they steal all the kills.

I love drell adept. I like him so much that I call him the "drool" adept because reave-bombing is so awesome.

I really should start playing drell adept more.  I don't play him because I like doing challenges and I prefer to use the justicar because I can work on pull and reave at the sametime. I play him with a harrier X, grenade capacity and everything just melts.

The fact that many classes use grenades nowadays, the  possible sparse outcome in terms of grenade replenishment in ammo boxes (e.g. condor or glacier) together with the fact that the drelldept really needs a lot of them in my view is limiting the fun to play this kit somewhat.:unsure:

Other grenade classes especially TGI, AIU destroyer but even kits like the krogan sentinel can get along with
fewer.

At least for me it is a reason to switch to another kit if I see other grenade classes in the lobby.

Thermal clip packs? Everyone has enough grenades if people would just use those damn packs. 

Oh and thanks for the grenade pic :kissing:
