Besides, in this way I avoid shaking the screen of all lobbies in the world at the same time... XD

 

So that's why I kept missing some foolproof headshots today...

Blame it on Mega

Wow! Thanks everyone. I'll play around with the builds to see which I like best.

Yeah I hear you. If I ever was to pick up a controller, I'd be the scrubbest of all scrubs XD
 
And yeah putting 3 ranks in slash isn't going to make or break anything of course. I just don't like the idea of sacrificing even a tiny bit of weapon damage in order to get something I'll only ever use once in... Like, 4 matches. Even during hacks and escorts, it's usually very feasible to keep using PD and charging outside the circle. Given the discrete nature of the calculation of those objectives' speed, charging at a range that allows you to get back into the circle in one or two dodges doesn't slow them down. If the enemy is further than two dodges, on the other hand, slash isn't gonna hit them anyway. So there are very few circumstances in which I'd ever use that power... So to me, it's preferable to have 10% weapon damage bonus. Besides, in this way I avoid shaking the screen of all lobbies in the world at the same time... XD

If screen shake is so bad.. then obviously you would never EVER throw Cluster grenades, which shake the screen more violently than (literally) every other power in the game.

Biotic Slash is one of the best powers on the game.  There, I said it.  It does really good damage (including 1.5x to armor/barriers), has a biotic combo boosting evolution and an AOE effect, can hit multiple enemies, goes through walls, and has a really reasonable cooldown.  Playing a Slash spammer with a Reave spammer is just murder on any enemy, especially Reapers or Collectors.  It's no wonder people spam it.

 

That being said, it's kind of annoying.  Spamming Slash is the most boring play style ever, and of course, SCREENSHAKE!

Slayer Vanguard

Charge/Heavy Melee for most things. Biotic Slash for mobs and high cover/GS/Slash for boss level. Pistol/BS for objective waves. Adjust Fitness Melee v. Health to match your reflexes. Heavy Melee + PMS/SE III/MA Synergy will OHK trooper level on Gold.

I like 66356. Having a power that goes through walls and can be used when your shields are down without forcing you into the open is more useful than 10% extra weapon damage.  I am certainly not as good as many players on this forum, but that is the build I soloed Plat with twice (Cerb Giant and Geth Ghost).  I generally found myself happy to have the 3 in slash at least a few times per wave.

Haven't read the responses here .. but 66653 is the build

 

Difference in rank 4 and rank 6 of fitness is almost nothing on the humans .. rank 5 is great on all the non-vanguards, worthless on them.

 

If you host, focus on charging then PD ... you will own

 

Keep your cooldown at or around 180-200 percent

I like the 6/6/0/6/6 build with the Talon (ammo and damage barrel).  Keeps recharge rate at 200%.  I go with commando package for pistol/biotic damage vs geth scanner.  In my first build, I found I rarely used slash all that much.  I guess you could stand behind a wall and spam slash but what's the point?
