I'm eagerly listening to those VA masters that can fulfill contracts, but not just so - some build where hard rock fits better to the damage he does (rather than the ernie and bert music I have to play for him now). (The engie and merc can hold their own anyway)
Arguably the least witnessed offensive biotic (statis as main prime power) :
kalence-built

-Investing in fitness has proven to b superfluous, with a 150 base anyway.
-Goal - midrange control.
-Geth scanner - bc of berlusconi impairment (sorry deerber)
-Shotgun = to have something to stagger dragoon/ phantom/pyros/hunters & other small armor gnats that like to creep up from flanks. But still shoot midrange due to health weakness.
- always in RHA and soft cover - since no hard cover anyway
- stasis / orb for mooks early in game. cloak shoot prime + orb detonate for bosses.
- >w 6 more kiting with orbs usage limited.
-when dumb enough to be cornered- Cloak / shield boost/combat roll (lol) run like hell .
- lolcyte - because it is 4 free. (ito weight) and can also detonate stasis, whilst stripping shields (latter part waves (>1m30s & >W5 )with much shields armor around and avoiding small-kill orb use against mooks.
- bubble can be an alternative on maps with many chokepoints (like glacier)

Critique?

Yes, this build need more Claymore!

If your plan is Stasis Explosions, I'd be more inclined towards this: http://kalence.drupa...5!43N53384!AFGF

That's the trouble - the stasis/orbs combos is just useful against non armored mooks. With armor i have to rely on weapons primes and Expose requires me to pump orbs in to bosses to stack the damage - which increases vulnerability immensely . The tradeoff - 3 orbs detonation is sufficient to bring down a boss - but leaves me nekkid as a terminator- for 1 more orb -i get +15% recharge for stasis & shield boost - with allows me to pump the raider and have spares 4 the stray dogs hanging around the boss

* Shoot shoot orb (rinse & repeat) or
* stasis shoot (detonate) against mooks &
* (stasis) lolcyte (det) bounced shot + orb (double det) for dodging hunters/ phantoms/captains )


The hvb is an obvious mprovement alternative (20% more weight), but then i loose the prime ability of ny lolcyte (power mod) for orbs to detonate flawlessly- tradeoffs trade-offs...

Yep, it's all tradeoffs. That's why I didn't say mine was better, just that it is how I would do it. I'm a bigger fan of the Wraith than the Raider, too. Longer effective range, and lighter (Even with HVB), which is why I went with that, figured it would give a more rounded anti-boss experience.

I would rather have a pine cone shoved up my butt so far it comes out my ear than endure biotic slash.

Looking at the post's up until now..Biotic Slash appears to be winning the hate votes..by several miles....My #1 / Signature character happens to be the Slayer.. I hate Biotic Slash with a passion.... I have even been known to leave GIP when there are other Slayers spamming it ..even when there are no enemies around... just annoying.

Right you are, technically it's possible if you have a very low re-charge speed as Warp can set it of the OL effect, but that would be a quite sub-optimal way to play him.

The primer window on ol is not that short, even with 4a in passives you can tb with lots of good guns.
It's usefulness is very situational, but there times I center tb on a boss unit for cc while I kill everything that is staggering around it. Mostly in solos tho.

Probably not that much different in feel than Clawhammer anyway.

What is this "biotic slash" you are all talking about?

.

I believe this is the only power in the game, I've never put points into.

Next time I promote the vanguard class, I will try it.

[filippopotame]

I've unlocked all characters by now, but never put points into something like that. 

The third power of the N7 Slayer, I personally find it quite cool and relatively fun with a biotic team compared to the useless/bugged/suboptimal electric slash

[Dovakiin_N7]

Agree for the smashdept, but for the batdept lash/warp or warp/lash are too fun
Anyway I feel the character where it is less needed is the batguard (what were they thinking, give him ballistic blades or inferno grenades )

IMO, exact opposite is true. Batadept without lash can carry claymore and spread destruction. My Smashdept however always specs all the way upto 6b in lash. Singularity + lash -> BE at long range. Lash + smash BE at close range. Even phantoms don't survive singularity + lash spam.
