My Engineer is almost identical except I went for Weapon Accuracy and Rate of Fire but I see where you're going with your build so I'll give it a go, not sure I'm really benefitting from my two settings anyway.

That N7 build looks like how I used to have it before I dropped the Energy Drain. I don't even know why I dropped it, fancied a change I suppose. The only bonus I get is an extra 10% weapon damage so I think I'll take the first three in Energy Drain instead. Even now I keep pressing X even though I know I don't have Energy Drain on it.

I aways used to use Fire Shield but it did nothing against the Phantoms whereas the Cryo Shield stuns them giving me a chance to put some distance between us.

Due to the power of the combos I favoured keeping my cool down at 200% hence the light, rapid fire Geth Rifle. I'll give the Piranha a go though and try out my level 2 Harrier (it's just a lot of weight though).

I've learned that the 200% recharge rate is a bit overrated and that you don't have to maintain that to be effective. You should instead aim for something like 100% to 150%. That's more than adequate to dealing a ton of damage.

That piranha takes some getting used to. But it's worth it in the end.

 

I only put 3 points into energy drain because the power is situational.  It's effectiveness is limited against non-shielded organics.

There's no real substitute to being able to see through walls. I love that I'm able to zip through and shoot at enemies and also spot hidden ones. The turret is also to give your team an extra shield boost.

Hmm... after having loads of fun with the QFI a few minutes ago, I thought I should post my build for safe keeping.

It seems as if I have some points I can allocate according to Kalence.  I should look into beefing up the damage output.  I may end up with this kind of build...

[niniendowarrior]

Yeah, so I did two attempts and both failed.  I don't think I want to try again as I feel very demoralized after all of this...

 

This is the build I went with.

Gotta say I love the sabotage on the turrets as usually against Cerbie, I run into the turrets and just go... Oh crap.  With the QFI, I quickly tap cloak and then sabotage and then flee.

How to block users without finishing the MP match?  First remember their NNID, then open their profile on the Miiverse web browser.  Usually, the name corresponds to:

https://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/[username]

Replace [username] with the user you want to block. 

 

Alternatively, now you can go to Activity Feed.  On the top right corner is "Search Users".  Enter the name of the user and see if you can get to the user's profile.

 

If the profile opens, click on Follow.  Then, open the Miiverse app on the Wii U and tap on your profile's follow list.  Tap on the user profile and tap on the wrench icon.  Hit block to add that user into the blocked list.

 

You can check the Friends App for the Blocked List just to verify that the person has been added.

[Lawrenceiow]

Just hyperthetically, what happens if a person is on your blocked list isn't on mine and is already in my lobby, are you able to join or will it just tell you you're unable to join?

 

How about if I'm in your lobby and I try to invite someone you've blocked?

 

This is all hyperthetically speakin', just because I'm curious.

[niniendowarrior]

Hypothetically, the blocked list only reduces the chance of being with the player in a lobby searching scenario. If you had someone in your lobby that is blocked in mine, and you invited me, I'll be able to join just fine. But it's harder for me to land in your lobby if I just did search game.

[Lawrenceiow]

LOL, Hypo... hyper... some people are so uneducated 

 

So, in this hypothetical scenario you could end up playing with some incredibly nasty players (hyperbole?) from your blocked list if they're on my friend list.

[niniendowarrior]

That is correct. The blocked list only makes it a bit harder for me to land in the same lobby as them.

Had some fun revisiting old kits I don't use. I also retweaked my load out to see if I could improve my kit.

N7 Shadow

http://kalence.drupa...!53J56323!0D9.A

This one lacks damage output from the shotgun, but the shadow strike can chew out some armor from those pesky brutes. Make sure to time shadow strike while banshees teleport or brutes leaping so you'll deal damage and remain at a safe distance.

[niniendowarrior]

Here's another. This kit is one I didn't touch for months if not years.

Drell Vanguard
http://kalence.drupa...!33O52323!G38BG

The main thing is to abuse acolyte and pull. Works great as crowd control. Also cryo ammo and biotic charge gets cryo explosion!

Grenades are good source of damage dealing but be mindful that you don't use them all up really quick.

[niniendowarrior]

I'm trying to remember how I specced my female soldier... I think it's this.

[niniendowarrior]

This is my weirdo Female Adept Raptor build.

Thoughts here... https://miiverse.nin...CAAADVHkiDwnSRQ

[niniendowarrior]

Switched the female adept from the Raptor to the Viper.  It seems to be doing a bit better!

This is my match last night with M.K418.  The video capture is a lot worse because this was totally impromptu recording.  My phone didn't have enough storage space and I captured at 640x480.  Still, it was a nice gold duo.

Not sure what happened during wave 10. I think I was suffering from lag, but I was totally getting disoriented by what's happening vs what I was pressing on the controller.

[Lawrenceiow]

Nah, just looks like you were playing it my style on wave 10

 

 

Nice to watch it though. What equipment did you have, what's the Paladin build?

 

 

Was it a private gold match or just that nobody turned up? I played loads of bronze games tonight and there was just the two of us, nobody else showed up.

[niniendowarrior]

This was my build for the Paladin: http://kalence.drupa...!33053213!BDG3D

 

It's my usual non-serious build where I use level 2-3 buffs for my character.  Acolyte was used as long range and the piranha on short range.  The damage barrel and smart choke makes the spread smaller and deadlier.  I just use up an entire piranha clip and watch the Atlas' life go down and down.  Barring that dumb wave 10, it was a good match.

 

This was the second gold duo I had with M.K418 that night.  I wanted to record the first one against Reapers but my phone ran out of storage and I mistakenly left the recording at 1920x1080.  Ran out of space on wave 7, I think.

How many of us will be online for N7 day? 

[niniendowarrior]

That game with scottkahre was absolutely cracking.  We all did really splendid out there.  I was surprised to score on top on both matches.

[Lawrenceiow]

I 'spect I'll be in there at some point later.

 

As BLOPS3 is out I'm worried by internet connection is going to be affected.

[Lawrenceiow]

Certainly was good, I was amazed to be placed second and managed to get my score over 100,000 - a bit of a rarity for me.

 

What was your Vorcha build?

[niniendowarrior]

I'll have to dig it up.  It wasn't rocket science though.  I'm fairly certain I had specced for flamer and bloodlust.  That's usually the way vorcha builds go.

 

As far as you scoring over 100,000, that's usually the case with the paladin.  Because snap freeze passes through walls, teammates can trigger your cryo explosions really easily.

[niniendowarrior]

 

 

http://kalence.drupa...!13O52323!ED6B5

 

This is what I remember from my build.  The idea is to turn on bloodlust and leave it on.  Then, abuse flamer when in semi-close range.  My primary weapon here is the acolyte which I keep charged.  Before firing off flamer, make sure the acolyte is charged as letting go the trigger will allow for the acolyte slug to fire away while the flamer is still burning enemies.  Stop the flamer by using the vorcha's excellent dodging or by tapping the flamer button again.  Charge acolyte, turn on flamer, fire acolyte slug again.  Dodge as needed.

 

The cluster grenades are potentially devastating but aim the grenade tossing properly.  Players will want most of the clusters to smack the same target for maximum damage.  The fire effect from the flamer also triggers some combo explosions with the grenade.

 

Take care that vorcha kits are woefully bad against geth.  Also, the shields are less than ideal.  For the vorcha to have good survivability, make sure to deal a lot of damage so bloodlust stacks quickly for health regeneration, and power damage stacking as well.  The more aggressive the vorcha is, the better.  Just don't get grabbed.

[Lawrenceiow]

Thanks for this, I hope to try it out later, before N7 day ends.
