But the cooldowns...
and smart choke is the equivalent of stability mods heh
why would you need a cooldown when you've got a Claymoar?
Choke isn't required on Claymoar, not that there are any other mods really worth using than it and HVB outside of a melee build.

Because I'd play an infil or other weapon platforms 
idk, I find myself playing power based kits because it's fun to spam powers or combos
Which ones? I occassionally use wraith and piranha
Any shotgun is better than not-a-shotgun, and Wraith and Piranha are decent. Better yet, though, are the Venom, Raider, and Claymoar. The first two are actually relatively light, and the latter two both can get the weight glitch. Graal, GPS, and Crusader also worth a mention here.
For me, it depends on whether I need to use a mod other than the clip mod. If I can afford to use the clip mod - CSMG. If not, Hurricane.

I prefer not to use glitches because cheating can get quite addictive I've never used graal, venom or the gps after gold. don't they have low dps?

Then you can't ever use Incendiary Ammo. Or a Warp/Flamer/Incinerate/etc kit in a lobby where someone else is using Incendiary Ammo. Also need to stay away from using AP or Drill rounds when shooting at bosses that have a double/triple hit bug. And chances are, you've used the weight glitch without knowing it. There are alot of glitches in this game, many of them can be used unknowingly, and many of them have a fairly negligible impact on actual success (like the weight glitch). In any case, its an option to be aware of.

Nope. There are guns that out-DPS them- like the Reegar, Hurricane, Harrier, Raider, etc.- but they are all quite good in terms of straight up damage. But they have more virtues than that- Venom, for instance, has an area of effect. So even if its dps looks a little low compared to a ridonkulous crutch weapon like the Harrier, keep in mind that when you're hitting multiple targets you're effectively multiplying that dps, making it pretty incredible. And all 3 are great at applying ammo powers (incendiary, disruptor, etc.) and causing stagger (stagger destroys phantoms, can save you/teammates from syncs, and obviously, a staggered enemy is one that isn't shooting you... unless you're playing Geth, but then, why would you be doing such a silly thing in the first place?).
*Also worth mention that, as all three are projective guns, they ignore armor DR (not to mention BS on-host phantom invincibility).
Using Venom makes me feel dirty. It is that good.
Understandable. This gif should help illustrate why one might feel that way-

Well I said preferred, not abstaining myself free from any possibilities of it . Because it makes the game easier I can't help myself not using it, like going for that 3x spot on the atlas every time. Maybe I have used the weight glitch, but I want to get good at this game (in the forms of plat solos) without having to rely on bugs hopefully.

Ok, I'll be sure to try them out. I guess I just didn't give venom a good enough try since it was such a disappointment compared to that of singlepalyer when the latest dlc came out and I saved 8 million credits for it

Don't try Graal offhost. But if host has no lag by all means. It's a great weapon. So is GPS.
Alright. Do you have any advice on the charge mechanic?

If you have problems off host with the Graal, it's normally that charged shots go missing. But uncharged shots normally work ok anyway.

The flechettes don't group as tightly uncharged. It's not a bad tactic to hit a spawn with uncharged Graal shots. Primes the living daylights out of everything in three shots. Resulting detonations can be humorous and satisfying if all goes according to plan.
I prefer the CSMG over the Hurricane on most power kits, but then, on most power kits, I'm trying not to be in CQC, so the better accuracy is a big bonus, along with not having to bother looking for ammo boxes. My cqc power kits tend to use the Disciple/Eagle combo - partly because I just love the Disciple.
I'll try it out. I found out that kits like n7 slayer used the csmg more effectively, but I found human adept to use the hurricane better.

Charge while running, release within biotic charge, unload uncharged shot on arrival, headbutt, MRAAAW!
Advice on charge mechanic? Turn the vibratonator off so you can focus.
Neither. My Acolyte Incid Ammo Slayer doesn't need a sidearm...I have a Phase Disruptor to deal with armor.

The disciple is my favorite weapon in the game also the design, the sound, the sheer accuracy, lightest weapon in its class, mmm..... and I also like the fact that samara uses it too 
Sorry, I should clarify that what I wrote is only true when talking biotic characters. On tech ones, you probably want to use different mods and ammo. Basically, extended mag is mandatory and hvb is mandatory as well unless you're using AP rounds.
Also, your Slayer needs a Talon. Or a shotgun.
Yeah I love the talon but I only use it vs reapers and collectors. VS geth and cerberus, I just can never get enough of those sweet one shot combo of incendiary acolyte + phase disruptor

Grunt would be proud

It still takes so long to kill superheavies by only using phase disruptor+charge

The Hell it does..Banshees/Atlases/Primes die in seconds..If I am an On Host Slayer, with just an Acolyte and Incid. Ammo.. and you are in my game.. and the match goes longer than 22 minutes..NO MATTER what Map or Faction we are facing....I will refund your money..My Slayer destroys everything in seconds..period.
OP, I was curious about you and looked you up. You are a PC hacking cheater. There is ZERO chance your numbers are legit. Less than 500 hours played, 1600 games played total and you have 2.6 million credits just sitting around.. and you have a Maxed manifest. Everything, characters, gear, equipment, mods,and all weapons fully maxed with your Map mastery, that is speaking for itself. ( His Map mastery is a joke people look it up yourself ) You are either the best lecher of all time or one of the better hackers. Dude, that's a hacker profile no matter how you view it.. Solo'd Platinum 9 times, yet the number of times Solo'd Bronze = 6??? you barely played any Platinum waves..AT ALL. Tell me again how to do anything in this game in which you are so experienced?
