I cant stand krogans in general; they're just too slow and too heavy. So for me, probably my favorite is the Batguard. Biotic Charge+Hatesurf is perhaps one of the most fun things ever. You fly in from halfway across the map, send them flying, and follow them into the darkness where all they hear is a loud *Crunch*. Then you disappear again. Or you don't, and you just stand there, tanking all their damage indefinitely. 

 

Otherwise the Cabal is pretty fun, but whoever it was that said F U London...high five. Ugh. London is just AWFUL. You can't dodge ANYWHERE. The magical ability to blink out of existence for a moment and then reappear right back in the way of the missile you were trying to dodge. Yay.

 

I just wish Poison Strike did a little bit more damage, especially versus armor. As it is, it annihilates all mooks really easily, but bosses are a pain in the plates, at least compared to more dedicated boss-killers like Adepts. Still, the ability to Poison Strike through an entire spawn repeatedly is one of the more fun things you can do in the game. You're just bulldozing your way through 8 enemies, sidestepping sync-kill enemies by inches, and killing them all without taking any damage. So fun.

Take only a pistol for 200% skill recharge, and then: charge, pause a fraction of a second, nova, charge, nova, charge, nova, charge, nova. You're practically invincible. Close proximity to three phantoms and a pair of dragoons? Still no problem! Charge, nova, charge, nova, etc.


Great strategy for sub-platinum matches.  But let's see how that works on Platinum boss spam...

 

 

Well, to be fair to CandidCarnage, you did cut out the following part of his post:
 

Ummm, I still love the plain old human female vanguard.

What?! She's the queen of gold or easier! Highest score erryday, never dying erryday.

It's equally annoying when you are in the press of enemies, shouting "shields down" and everything you look at to charge gets shot by the score-racing TGI so you can't recharge your barrier and go down.


People actually think like this? Keelah, what a bunch of whingers.

Personally, I love it when I'm working on a big enemy with tech attacks and a krogan comes charging in to detonate them in a massive explosion WITH HIS FACE.

Vanguards, if you see a quarian unloading on a prime while swearing profusely in Khelish, feel free to charge and backhand/punch/claymoar to your heart's content. We are not selfish people

1. Drellguard

 

2. Smashguard

 

3. invalid

 

I exclusively use the Talon on the Smashguard, but on the Drellguard I've used the Hurricane, Scorpion, Claymoar, Acolyte and Talon all with good results, when I'm not using the Venom :D . Have fun out there, and don't forget Bonus Charge.  ;) You probably already knew that though...

 

 

Nice that is the weapon Smashguard should always use

If the Assguard had just ONE reason to spec into Stasis

Not worth it in my opinion since Acolyte works pretty well already, especially combined with charge.

Or course, Stasis works better as a panic button but I'd rather spend the points elsewhere...

It's true. Entirely by myself, I constitute a whole bunch of whingers.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Complete tangent here, but in response to some earlier posts, I like London. I think it has a number of defensible points, and isn't harder than most other maps as long as you stay out of the killing fields.

Actually, it works perfectly well on Platinum too. It only needs a "nova cancel" once in a while and a "shoot" once after every action and you're golden.

 

That is, if you know how sync kills work...

 

Yup, you just need to adjust and change your playstyle*. Some players keep playing off-host as if they were hosting, so they just bang their heads against a wall and complain that the lag is killing them. Some players adjust, take the lag into account and charge when it makes sense to do so while maintaining a margin of error.

 

(*: Not always particularly easy to do so, of course.)

 

Adjusting my playstyle?!?!? NEVAHHHH!!! Imma gonna play the same, go down once a wave and rage gel before I hit the floor. That's the right way to do it, not "changing one's playstyle", for claymore's sake!

 

... Now that I think of it, this might, or might not, have something to do with me hating lag so much :whistle:

That was me. I remember when the Cabal was shown on livestream I was so hyped, I thought that would have been the best character ever released, it was just SO mobile. The first thing I did when reckoning hit was play the Cabal exclusively for quite some days. And that is when I slowly discovered all the bullshit that was hidden behind the great appearance: I-frames not working, dodge not working... Such a disappointment. Gah. I'd give anything for them to fix her straight.
