Did decent in a gold game:

I used this build:

http://kalence.drupa...23556313!F.EE0G

 

Cloak --> Shadow Strike --> Finish off with Reegar (if needed).

She can one-shot shielded Marauders and take about 80% of a Ravager's health (can one-shot with a melee-oriented build), downside is she dies pretty easily, can't imagine it working well on Platinum with Shadow Strike. Thoughts?

:lol: sorry if I pissed you off, but there's plenty of threads on how to build your Shadow. Use the search fuction.

I'd recommend this build.

 

http://kalence.drupa...34556314!0.9E8G

 

* Omni blade is imperative.

* Shadow strike benefits a LOT from power amps.

* Taking duration/bonus power on cloak lets you one-shot two mooks per cloak cycle.

 

I use a slightly modified version of this build where I lose the last rank in passive in exchange for 3 ranks in electric slash just so I can detonate people's tech primes.

What Homey said, although I would tweak his build a bit:

Martial Artist or Shield Regen + Speed - that's where you decide on your own.

Haha! Yes! Damage > Duration. I'm still gonna die, but at least let me kill something.

I'll try to explain.

 

On this forum it takes a certain level of intellect, panache, and novelty to have a serious discussion that provokes meritorious insight from others. It's an old game, and the board is jaded much in part due to that.

 

You made a few mistakes.

 

Firstly, assuming you'll get more than pornstar gifs in your thread is a level of expectation higher than you should allocate here.

 

Secondly, you're using a Reegar. The Reegar is believed to be rather unbalanced and most will assume you are not playing the class but the weapon. The only current weapons that are acceptable to be "played" are the Claymore, and the Venom. A brutal and destructive civil war on this board that shall likely never cease. (As it should be.)

 

Third, you posted a screenshot of your score, you scorewhmonger you.

 

Fourth? The discussion on the Shadow has been moved forward as far as it is going to move here. As someone else said, trust me, search it. Although I find the board's search engine inferior to just googling Bioware - Shadow/etc/etc/etc

 

I hope this clarifies everything for you in a precise, concise, manner.

You do get 4 seconds of 15% speed after decloaking each time. Which most of the time is better, than staying in cloak and still eating Geth rockets.  :P

I experience a disability whose pathology is both strange and specific. Lag-related frustrations, for me, are multiplied by a factor of 12.95 when they result whilst I am using the Shadow.

 

This has caused in me a compulsive inability to do anything but yell, "F*ck this!" when Shadow Strike is delayed by any noticeable measure.

 

As a result, I live by the caveat: "Shadow Strike works great when you're hosting. There is no such thing as playing the Shadow off-host."

 

The very idea of playing it off-host?

I know it doesn't really answer the question, but by the forum at large's standards, this reply is pretty on-topic.

Dude, no Omni-Blade?

 

Also, am I the only one who puts 3 into Electric Slash, even on a SS build?  I gotta have it.

only decent and using the Reegar?  That abomination in the hands on an Infiltrator can wipe out entire spawns.

No, there's three acceptable weapons- you forgot the Raider.

This is the build I'm using and it is very effective. Always Cloak -> Shoot -> SS/ES -> Shoot again (Claymore will be reloaded "for free" during the animation).

 

ES is useful against clustered enemies and Atlases, but you don't need more than 3 points. Raider is very good on her too. Enjoy  ;)

2 definite shadow strikes > 2 shadow strikes if you're lucky and mash the button on your second target.

Shadow is probably the kit that has the best argument for duration on cloak.

 

Also, martial artist alldayerrday on every melee build.

Or one shadow strike, plus a whole bunch of bonus damage gunplay til the next shadow strike.

This is how I build her.  Most humanoid enemies are finished off in one shadow strike.  Token three points in ES to give you something to do when objective is a hack.

This is the build I use at the moment.

 

I like to be more versatile at range (i.e. during hacks), hence the crusader.

Scorpion cuz it's fun. And messing with phantoms.
Hurricane, or csmg or something for getting through boss armour in platinum games. Or not if you have a solid team.
Very squishy so be careful with SS. Cloak out of sight of an enemy before SS.
Pop raveger's sacs before SS it, or better yet - don't.
Keeping Cloaked and on the move, draining mook's shields and geth scanner will keep you alive
Both SS and scorpion are much better on-host, but it's manageable off host as well.
It's a fun weapon setup, rather then an efficient killing machine so use whatever ammo you'd like. Even explosive for more, uhm, satisfying scorpion pops.
Try cancelling the slash halfway with a heavy melee for stagger-decapitation :)

Skip cloak.  It doesn't do anything anyway.
