Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

 

I'll be re-speccing my Justicar this evening to give her an offensive Biotic Sphere.

 

I really don't have any good weapons. The best weapons I have that leave we with a reasonable cooldown is a Katana X, and an Indra I. I also have a few Sniper Rifle Amps.

 

FBWG?

 

Thanks again!

If you got the Venom shotgun, equip it, it's a blast on the Justicar.

Venom is easily my favorite gun on this game, but the Justicar is one of only a handful of kits I don't use it on. She usually gets either the Wraith or the Raider, sometimes Talon or, if I'm feeling like going with lore, the Acolyte. But obviously Venom+Warp Ammo is going to work well with any Reave kit- I just have to find some kits to use guns not named "Venom".

Oops my bad, I meant that to op, the "quote" button sometimes doesn't work ;) .

ME2 suicide mission - best mission of the trilogy....dem memories

Dat mission... Still have vivid memory of the collector-infested long hallway, plus the bg music, simply awe inspiring.

Yeah that was actually more my bad- I just sort of dive right in to conversations I'm not involved in.  :D

Looks good to me. And using Venom would seemingly eliminate the need/use for the nominal 3-4 ranks in Pull, which is fine by me. I just picked up DAI today so I don't know how much me3mp I'll be playing in the near future, but I have been on a Justicar kick lately so I'll probably burn a reset next time I'm on and give this a whirl- Biotic Sphere debuff+Warp Ammo biotic damage bonus= lots of potential there.

FBWG is a common term thrown around here on BSN. It refers to Firebase White Geth Gold. When Firebase White was much smaller (and had fewer entrances) people used to camp behind a "counter" in the back of the map and play Geth all day, because they are slower, have no sync-kills and no grenades to flush them out. Plus Pyros were "grabbable" 

 

So Bioware opened up the map and expanded a little bit. And they introduced Geth bombers to flush the campers out too. It worked for the most part, although you can still easily camp with a decent team. 

 

P.S. Geth Bombers as an enemy design suck though.

If you have any Warp Ammo, and a piercing mod for the Indra, that would work quite well.

 

The piercing mod isn't technically necessary, but having enough piercing to get through basic light cover (like Guardian shields) is really useful, and it will also help against armoured enemies by weakening their defense.

 

The way Warp Ammo applies its bonus is to add the damage any time you shoot an enemy that has an active "prime" on it. This would apply to any enemy under the effects of Pull, Reave or Warp (from the bubble.) If the Prime has been detonated for a combo (using Reave on pulled targets, for example) then I believe the bonus from Warp Ammo will no longer apply until the target is re-primed.

 

It's a handy way to add effectiveness to your gun from using your powers. :)

The Sphere/Reave Justicar just needs a weapon to deliver Warp Ammo in between using powers. The exact weapon doesn't matter that much.

 

Try to keep your cooldown no worse than ~130% and you can get a nice rhythm of Reave - shoot - Sphere - shoot - Reave - shoot, etc. (If you have the Sphere in a good spot you don't have to re-cast it every cycle.)

 

It may have been already mentioned, but Reave stacks with itself. Repeated castings of Reave on the same target(s) are worthwhile -- especially if you're using Power Amps.

I didn't realize Reave stacked onto itself. I've been using Pull/Reave combo.

 

I'm fresh out of Ammo upgrades. Holding onto my credits until I can afford a Premium spectre pack.

Ahh, thanks. I was wondering about the Geth Bombers. I recently returned to ME after taking ~2 years off to play Skyrim. Finally had to delete Skyrim from my console to break its hold over me.

 

I didn't recall Geth Bombers from before. Hate them. And Seeker Swarms. And Collectors are overpowered (I'm not a very good player, I always select Bronze matches).

You actually have a few decent weapons; if I were you, I'd consider either the Arc Pistol, the Eagle, or the Piranha on the Justicar- all do good damage and are relatively light (with the Arc Pistol, keep in mind that charging your shot with make it do waaaaaay more damage).

It would've been quicker to type "The Justicar" than "A character that has biotic sphere".

 

Thanks for ruining it for me.  I was waiting for the big reveal!

 

Anyway, the only way I don't like to spec the Justicar is the hybrid way.  I like either full offensive for CQC with light, powerful weapons, or full defensive with either a sniper rifle or a big clip weapon (Typhoon, Revenant, Lancer, Sh*tfire, etc.)

Thanks for the recommendations. After posting my ID, feeling a little embarrassed, I went out and spent actual MS Points on a couple Arsenal Packs. I got an upgrade to the Arc Pistol II, and a Locust II.

You don't have to apologize for your manifest. We all started the same way.

 

The grind is part of the game. Playing on Bronze or Silver is fine. Buy Recruit and Veteran packs until you max out your Commons and Uncommons, then start in on Spectre packs until you max out your Rares. You can sprinkle in some of the 99K packs (Premium Spectre, Arsenal, Reserves) to hope for the occasional ultra-rare drop.

Great advice in both! They've now been bookmarked. Thanks!

Ignore Randall. Move up difficulties quickly. Quit playing bronze entirely. Stop wasting your time. You don't have to be great at silver to be good/serviceable in gold. If I were you, I'd go straight to gold and learn on the fly. You'll get better with more experience.

Spam recruit packs until commons are maxed. Then go straight to 99k packs. You get 2 rare cards. It's a better deal when you need the gold cards. (I didn't look at your manifest. Don't care. Doesn't matter.) Buy jumbos on occasion to refill the necessities.

Gear is the most important item in the game. Everything else is a distant second. Don't forget that...

Thanks for the suggestions, but I die a lot on Bronze (and typically finish with the lowest score). I played one Silver match, and spent most of the time in cover.

Doesn't matter. Concentrate more on biotics and combos until you get better gear/weapons, then expand to more characters. High health characters (like Krogan) are also good starters. Move to silver and die a lot... You'll learn faster and get more $$$$. Move to gold when you only die a few times in a silver game. Also, try to stay out of hard cover. For the most part, it hurts more than helps. Search "right hand advantage" on his website for a better option.



Or just pug plat. You can't be nearly as terrible as a 1/3 of the people playing plat pugs...

My strategy was to use characters with Damage Reduction every time I moved up a level. Get good in Bronze with a character without DR, and then move to Silver and use a character with similar health and some DR power.  It makes the jump in enemy damage not as noticeable.  I used the Human Sentinel in transitioning to Silver, and I used the Justicar in transitioning to Gold.  Once I got the hang of staying alive consistently with the DR character, then I switched to characters that didn't have DR.
