You've heard me explain the differences many times. Like, every time the PC/console wars start again. Some platforms have advantages, others have different advantages.

 

Look at yourself, you're indoctrinated by Consolitis!

Batarian Soldier with Kishock Harpoon Gun, Blade Armor (good deterrent against Collector Troopers and such), explosive blades I use for a substitute shotgun effect, skip grenades, and max health and weapon damage for passives. If I'm not making them bleed out or explode, I'm staggering them.

I have suffered no ill effects from using the Mattock.

Tried ADAS Quarian Marksman yesterday, almost accidentally. It was meh against Reapers (which was to be expected), but then I randomed Geth. They got destroyed! I was killing them ridiculously fast. Scored 140k on Gold, with the 2nd place being at 100k (and the team wasn't half bad!). That just never happens on Gold, I don't score over 100k! This kit is definitely a keeper from now on, even though it should only be used vs. Geth and maybe Cerberus (not sure if it'll work).

 

A couple questions about this build and ADAS:

1. Can ADAS headshot, in principle?

2. Should I take Sabotage instead of Tac Scan, esp. since I'm targeting Geth? 

3. Should I only take Fitness 5 (QM is squishy no matter how many fitness points he has), and unlock some kind of a combination of Tac Scan and Sabotage?

 

Note that I have the headshot damage evolution of Marksman (5b) instead of duration (5a). That was not intended, it was unlocked before I switched weapons to ADAS. But it seems that 8 sec Marksman duration can actually work with ADAS better, and it will let you cast other abilities more often (since Marksman can't be turned off, and no abilities can be cast while it's active).

Meh, I would've thought you would've had more people weigh in on this but since you haven't I'll put my two cents. Sabotage is a good power to me but doesn't synergize as well with marksman as tac scan. Marksman is the kit's bread and butter so you're not going to use sabotage "that" often. That said sabotage is really useful for several things especially Cerberus turrets and Fitness is kind of meh IMO on the character anyways (if you feel squishy with the character, you'll probably feel squishy no matter what unless you throw a cyclonic on). Yeah Adas cannot score headshots as some others have said.

 

Adas is pretty good on the character and is lore appropriate but I prefer the talon with drill rounds and geth scanner and kill everything through walls, allows the kit to be played a little more aggressive IMO.

A couple of mildly unusual inspired-by-challenge-completion build experiments to relate:

 

No-Hex-Shield Juggernaut, Siege Pulse specced for DR, with Arc Pistol + HB + Piercing Mod + Incendiary IV. It's like being a cloakless infiltrator, instead you put down your Turret next to you and move around in the open sniping things. HM strictly to restore shields, LM to stagger stuff back for the headshot.

 

TGI with Krysae  - hey, it's a Turian weapon, after all. I used Incendiary ammo but Disruptor should be fun too. It's definitely not OP but Overload (chain, neural shock, shield damage) definitely makes the best of the Krysae's capabilities. I was regularly 2-clipping Brutes on Gold.

I've always used the N7 Shadow, and spec'd completely as a sniper.  I would use the Javenlin, Geth Scanner, Incendiary and Electric Slash to detonate.  All of the above works great for killing behind cover.

 

I've spec'd it this way because I like to try to build all my characters so that they work well on any difficulty. And using the shadow as melee seems like it doesn't work well on Plat.

 

But recently, I've gone FULL-MELEE with her using the AT-Raider.  For platinum, I use the Shotgun amp instead of Strength Enhancer, and Cyclonic IV instead of Power Amp.  It's not great on plat, but still a lot of fun.

It's a pretty stupid kit, really, unless you're only goal is to find the limit of other players' patience for constant low-level CryoSploding.

Tsol with the Striker. Saw it in a thread a few days ago and decided to try it out. It's insanely fun.

[Bud Halen]

Following some recent BSN discussion, I took out my new SmashDept with a full Lash spec.  I always stopped at the 4b-Detonate rank, thinking that was fine -- freeing up points for his HM.  But melee just isn't terribly important for the Adept Smash Bro, as I've come to realize (again, based on BSN suggestion).  Equipping my Arc with a Melee Stunner was plenty adequate for creating some personal space anyway.

 

Had a rock solid & balanced UUG group of PUGs, and we ended up with Geth/Rio.  Really, REALLY enjoyed how biotically effective this LashSmashDept can be from virtually any range.  The Hunters and Rocket Troopers fully resented my updated build.  Poor dears.

 

Me and a tanking stud of a BatSol ended up both scoring 120K+.  Toss in a First Aid medal, and it was a very satisfying day at the office.

As a matter of curiosity (since you're already using Cryo ammo) why didn't you take 5a in CS?

[therealmilkman]

At the time, I wasn't necessarily interested in effective explosions. I just wanted lots of them. I also didn't take 4b because I've never taken 4b in CS, but I probably should have for maximum gimmickry. The same goes for 6a.

 

I'll keep iterating on it. I've needed an excuse to play Turians more often.

It would seem that if you want the damage bonus at 5a then you should stick with 4a so it's on top of the increased damage. CS, like Incinerate, has a really tiny radius anyway, and with the really short cooldown - even without 5b - you can just fire it again if it misses.

 

On topic, I've been playing the DAI specced 60666 with the CSR. I think this may be the perfect weapon for him, or maybe it's that he's the perfect character to put the weapon on. No nades and regenerating ammo means just zooming around dropping Recon Mine, detonating and shooting, with no thought to ammo crates.

 

Being a scrub, I was always reluctant to play Drell because I was scared that I'd spend all my time on the floor, but I've just gone through a couple games with the DAI and been downed a total of 5 times only, because he just really is very hard to hit at the speed he travels.

Batsol with Crusader X+ cryo ammo: forget 'nades, go with ballistic blades and headshot. Punch Atlases in the groin and let brutes charge at you from time to time.

Retreat is for Salarians: the only way to win is through.

It's fun, competitive and very aggressive.

 

I also recommend N7 Shadow + Executioner if you know how to reload cancel: nimble melee. Every armored mobs is rightfully yours to slice and dice.

Your defense sucks, but it's the only melee kit I've fun with when I don't wanna play Krogan (sometimes  ).

[Salarian Master Race]

Salarian Infiltrator with Incendiary Ammo and the Krysae Sniper Rifle, 6/6/6/6/0.

 

I'd always read that the Salarian Infiltrator was a hardcore sniper kit, but holy hell PurpGuy plays him like an AoE death machine.  The Krysae AoE staggers everything in front of you, especially Dragoons and Phantoms, and primes them with Incendiary ammo if unshielded.  Cloak, shoot the Krysae, then immediately fire a cloaked Proximity Mine before the Cloak CD begins.  All unshielded enemies within the radius will get Fire Explosions!  Fire two more shots with the Krysae, then Cloak, Proximity Mine again, and reload.

 

The Krysae doesn't register headshots, so take Power Damage at Passive rank 5.  This actually synergizes well with Proximity Mine anyway, since the best way to use that is to shoot at a target's feet.  With the Krysae, you can already be aiming there and it won't matter.

 

In a pinch you can use AoE Energy Drain to restore shields, instead of Proximity Mine, and even get a faux Tech Armor effect for 10 seconds.  Vs Geth, you can use Energy Drain indiscriminantly, as it will detonate Fire Explosions even on unshielded Geth.

 

Vs Guardians, simply fire a Proximity Mine at their feet to stagger them, then you get a free shot with the Krysae as their shield arm flies off to the side.

 

Second weapon is unnecessary, Purp told me that he puts on a token lightweight piercing Hurricane just in case he's ever stuck without ammo and doesn't feel like using a clip pack.  Most games he never switches to it though.

 

I've seen him solo entire spawns that lesser beings would have used a missile on.

[DarkOrgasm]

I gave myself the M920 Cain, strapped it on the Human Soldier and then did a Geth Platinum solo. WOW What a fun blast that was, it was so satisfying to kill those dirty cheaters that I never had to use CS once.

[Dragonous]

Saber Batarian soldier with no blade armor. Worked pretty well against Collectors, Reapers, and Cerberus from what I've tested. Basic premise is to snipe things at mid/long-range with the saber and bblade anything that sneaks up on you. Grenades help kill bosses and other armored things. Cyclonic over Power Amp helps against bosses and still lets you one-shot husks at close range with ballistic blades. On the other hand, Power Amp allows you to fire and forget more with your powers and let the DoT kill things. Still have to try it with a scope and versus Geth.

[Dunmer of Redoran]

Cryo Soldier. I give her the Falcon.

[LuckyStarr]

Cryo Soldier. I give her the Falcon.

How is it supposed to work? Concussive Shot spam? Falcon's damage is pretty bad even on HSol, it seems to me.

[7twozero]

Try acolyte+csmg cryo soldier instead, it's way better.

[Dunmer of Redoran]

Pretty much. Shoot targets to freeze or chill them, fire concussive shot for double damage, and so forth. Against bosses, it's not as OP as 7twozero's acolyte and CSMG setup but as far as CC is concerned, it's an excellent build. You can drop Phantoms in a couple of seconds and dominate all mooks. Just take a light sidearm with an AP mod like the CSMG, Hurricane or Tempest, for enemies Iike Atlases and Primes.

[Cryos_Feron]

Krysae Huntress ( Incid Ammo)<----Because double the explosions

why is that?

[nat in the hat]

why is that?

Im guessing one explosion from ammo and the other from biotics
