I kept trying to hammer the mechs but they kept killing me instantly
Haha I won't play the Krogan anymore. I won't be able to hammer anything without getting killed! x Also if I remember (I'm probably wrong haha) the Phantoms can kill you too can't they??? x
Re: mechs - that's why you have to do it quickly 
Re: Phantoms - yes, they can sync-kill you, but if you have biotic hammer charged and good melee bonuses, you will kill them in one hit before they can kill you.

Do two quickies in the back room at work today count? (Cause that happened.)
High. Being the tank and saviour. 
Took my jug out for a spin and saved the bacon for a group of mushy souls from Cerberus (gold).
Had a really great match again on my jug. Once again against Cerberus (gold). Delightful because I always try to get Cerberus when I look for matches with the jug. I recognised no one but the other three were great players. We all gel together to take out the mobs and the wave objectives. No one used a single missile! Woot! 
.. well, I'm not sure about wave 11 but I didn't hear or see a single thing about missiles.
Fuuuuuun!
I had a kinda psychotic suicidal run as the N7 Shadow on PC. The team was fairly decent and I was lucky that I didn't get downed a lot. The adrenaline mod does that to my playstyle.

Of course, the shadow is good at being a psychotic slasher. make good use of that cloak though, If you use tactical cloak in hard cover, enemies will lose aggro.

I was cloaking all over the place. It was very fun. I couldn't quite one shot the phantoms though with shadow strike. Maybe it's not possible. * shrugs*
You are gonna need a power amp IV instead of adrenaline mod for that as Shadow strike benefits from both melee and power amps. So, slap geth scanner, power amp, strength enhancer and omni blade on your shotgun and you can easily kill Phantom from one shadow strike. Other units go down pretty easily, and if they are not killed by SS, just do quick melee after SS and they are pretty dead at that point.

I see. I was using juggernaut gear (shield + melee) and strength enhancer and adrenaline for the speed and fun. I didn't realize power amp IV boosts SS too. 
I should try this!

I think Geth Scanner is kinda essential, since Shadow is all about picking those lone enemies away from the pack IMO. Knowing where you are going to end up is kinda nice too. Others might disagree. Save those adrenaline mods for your Drells
Wait until you start picking Brutes and Scions with SS+Melee combos. IIRC you can SS+Melee 3/4 of Brutes armor.
Also, there is a handy trick that I like to use sometimes: charged Graal shot. As you know, shooting charged shot from graal wont put you out of the cloak. It comes handy when you need to pop Ravangers sack or quickly knock couple of bars of armor before shadow striking.

Yes, but make sure you release the Graal shot before hitting the SS button. If you don't, then the Graal shot will go off automatically, but the game will register you at your SS destination instead of at the point where you took off, so you will unload in the enemy's back. For some mooks, this will kill them outright or at least break their shields, which I guess isn't that bad unless you're relying on the shield drain evolution. But for an enemy like a Brute, Ravager, Scion, Prime, etc., it will give them advance notice that you are behind them, and they will turn around and be ready to melee or spill their guts on you as you are striking them.

I recommend the scorpion for this strat, since it's projectile weapon. the lightwieght also allows for fast SS
... Please don't make rumors about me... I haven't done anything wrong... I'm trying my best to be a good player... I really am...
... I don't like myself... it's safe to say I hate myself... I hate being me and I wish I was someone else... but I'm not... no matter how much I wish I'm still me...
I beg you... please stop it... it hurts... I just want to play Mass Effrct... that's all I want... but I can't even do that without people making rumors and hurting me... I just want to do something that makes me happy... if you want me to stop I will but please don't make rumors that I'm someone else... please... I just want to fit in... I spend most of my time watching videos on the internet about how to be a better player... I'm trying to not be a nuisance to anyone... I'm trying so hard... I'm sorry...
Get some professional help before you do anything else if your anxiety is causing you that much stress.

Yup, forgot to mention that any charged weapon goes of when you do melee attack (and SS is essentially melee attack that covers any distance). You can always release the shot in empty space and be ready to use uncharged shot in case of emergency.
About bolded part: first - DO NOT SS primes. Seriously, don't. I would SS Banshee before I even think about attacking Prime unit. They are just so full of sh1t so applying any logic here won't do much.
For other enemies, you are going to be just fine if you release that shot before attacking them because they are going to attack the place from where they heard shot.
@SpectrePierogi, save that Scorpion for ultimate stunlock b4stard: Geth Engineer. You can't attach omni blade on pistol, and Shadow is all about squeezing every percent of that sweet melee/power damage bonus.

I was quite a bit suicidal so I was doing SS on a pack of enemies. It wasn't too troublesome since I was still cloaked after the first SS. That being said, I understand what you're trying to say here.
I am really kinda biased on adrenaline since I really do enjoy when my character goes on fast forward. I will try power amp IV next time. 
Right now, I'm bringing the reegar with incendiary ammo since well, I can't really aim on PC (scrub alert!). I've used the Graal on Wii U and the precise aiming for me is really a deal breaker on PC. I've seen my buddy charge the graal on her Asari vanguard. Then biotic charge triggers the spike thrower impaling the poor saps. Love that combo, but I don't know if it works just as well with the Shadow. Hmmm...
Ravagers are really hard to deal with as the Shadow at the moment. The swarmers really do kill me so I try to shoot the sacks before cloaking and SS. I tend to forget though.

This is a low point that people automatically assume you might be somebody else's alt, instead of taking you at face value. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty.

On Wii U, my Shadow packs the Talon with the melee stunner. It seems the melee stunner stun lock happens after SS, which I found really cool, but maybe it's the Electric DoT after all.
How do you stunlock with the geth engineer? I could see using overload, but is there other secret techniques with the scorpion I don't know of? My geth engineers are usually medics.

You think we play 4 year old game, threw in thousands of ours because we like ourselves? We don't be ourselves as well, so we chose to be Turians with the cool Tech Armor. Those less enlightened chose to be something else, but that is okay, because we love each other no mater what even if somebody chooses to be Turian Ghost Infiltrator.
If playing mass effect makes you happy, to hell with it. Play it, don't pay attention what people say. Play it even if you suck, because most of us sucked at some point (I sucked big time when I started, I still scrub it but now I have maxed manifest to cover my a55), but we kept playing and eventually we became good. Knock yourself out. Charge banshees, melee Phantoms... kill stuff, but you will be occasionally killed in the process. Eventually, you will learn your way in game and PUGs are gonna look up to you and look for a curry. Until then, stay patient and don't pay attention to the comments. If somebody bugs you in lobby, just leave the lobby and find new one. We don't really use mics, so there shouldn't be problems with rude people.
And, final note, if somebody blows abomination in your face - it is just a professional way of saying 'hello', and there is nothing mean about it. You should do it as well, it is really good stress relief.
There you go, don't pay attention what people say here or in real life, think about it tho, extract a lesson and move on. By listening to much you are enslaving yourself to others onions.
I'm not anyone else, I promise...
I'm sorry... I said some things I probably shouldn't have in the chat... please forgive me...
I cannot forgive you General, because there is nothing to forgive since you have done nothing wrong. For some it seems, they can't believe people are who they say they are, in fear of being trolled.
How do you stunlock with the geth engineer? I could see using overload, but is there other secret techniques with the scorpion I don't know of? My geth engineers are usually medics.
First of all: The Build
In short: Scorpion for mooks and SMG for bosses.
Scorion stuns with every single shot and delay in between shots benefits from the hunter mode as it increases rate of fire. Also, scorpion is really good at applying ammo as it applies ammo reliably as long as you stick those shots on enemies (it isn't to hard).
Fire the turret in pack of enemies. Shot scorpion and follow with overload. Often you will get cryo explosions and if you time your overload rightly you are gonna get fire explosion as well (you should notice enemy is on fire and turrets flamer is on, that should be signal to detonate fire explosion). It is easy as that, I got a hang of it after 2 matches and now is one of my favorite builds. I just enjoy seeing those poor Cerberus and Geth scums unable to move.
You can overload targets (kinda make it hard for them to escape Scorpion) and follow with shots of scorpion (at this point they should be without shields so applying cryo ammo is even easier) and use overload again to detonate/stunlock even more.
There are better ammo choices, but Cryo ammo fits well becuse it weakens armor, reduces speed (goes well with whole stunclock theme going on) and this is one of the rare characters that can set up cryo ammo for cryo explosion. Note, if you want to set up cryo ammo sets up cryo explosions only on unprotected enemies (enemies with only health left).
I don't find defensive turret to be really useful as with light loadout it becomes really spammy ability so no point on sacrificing offensive power.
Feel free to ask anything you wanna know, I hope there is some sense in what I wrote there (it is late and I am really sleepy right now).

It does. I can imagine it running in my head but I will need to take this for a spin. I haven't seen the flamer turrets used with any real efficacy so it's intriguing to see this. I kinda like being able to help with shields, but I will try this, definitely. First on Wii U where I'm far more capable with the scorpion. Then, I'll see if it's adaptable to my PC handicaps. LOL.
One thing about the build. Wouldn't collector smg work better than hurricane?
