8 pages of helpful advice and without a single "L2P".   I had to check thrice this wasn't a necro.
Man, you guys have gone soft.

I blame it on the Genophage dude.

We've all gone soft because of it.

I googled it: Learn to play.

Well, that's what I'm doing here since I started 2 months ago: learning. And I must, I learned a lot. I wouldn't be playing gold without the useful advices from you, BSNers

[SofaJockey]

I forget now whether I had a Crusader or Wraith, but I did mine (boringly) on Giant with a Krogan.

Falling back around the map, against Geth.

 

I found the key was not getting too greedy and and falling back after taking out a few foes, it was the swarming that would get me.

 

And I wasn't fast doing it that way, if fact very pedestrian.

 

But reliably.

Or because you're using a Disciple, which staggers things. Including bosses. They won't do the stagger that will make them take a step back, but it's stagger nonetheless.

 

Yeah, I discounted hit reactions I guess.  Disciple has marginally better hit reaction chance than the other shotguns.  Gold Prime hit reaction chance multiplier is something like 0.3 though.

 

But the Reegar obliterates shields

With some AP or Inci, it should be decent vs armor.

 

Yes.  I would run AP until you get shredder or hvb for shotguns though.

I've been testing Gold Solo naked and I've improved quite a lot.

My results so far:

 

- Made it as far as W7, using consumables. Now I play without using gels. If I drop, I die and start again;

- Being mobile helps greatly, however you still get ambushed at times;

- Full melee build with the Kroguard is quite powerful: BC + HM = dead rocket or hunter. For Pyros, add another light melee or 2;

- I still can't take 2 Primes together being naked. I use missiles;

- Not being able to roll is still an issue when I want to retreat from a crowd, I need to turn my back to them, and then I can get staggered. If I walk backwards, I don't see the path and I'm slow;

- Disciple gives me 200% cd, which helps a lot;

- In some cases, headshoting a Prime with it staggers them.

 

That's what I remember for now.

 

 

You are taking a very unusual approach.  If you want to actually complete a gold solo, I would equip consumables and the best weapon/mod combo you have that will give you the most DPS.  You need to be able to kill stuff quick!  Really would not opt for the Disciple.

 

And at least put on some pants

I'm just practicing. I'm not trying to make to to w11. When I try I'll put on pants.

Pfft, pants. Don't give in to peer pressure, be free like the wind.

A little late but if you can master the Asari Vanguard she is immensely powerful thanks to the boosted Lift Grenades.

 

You'd ideally want a hard hitting close range weapon like the Hurricane or Talon or Wraith, not sure what your manifest contains.

She can also work with Acolyte (strip shields, charge, toss grenade if necessary).

I'd have to promote Vanguards and I specced her for a different build. But I'll stick to the kroguard, he's fun (They're dead!).

The asari vanguard is cute though, when she says "For Thessia!".

[Capt_Kangaroo]

My first solo gold was with the Krogan and lots and lots of fire grenades against the geth (firebase White)., it wasn't pretty but I got it done. Trick is to NEVER stop running..., ever.

Made it w8 naked. I'm running much more but sometimes I still stay put.

I only have 2 cobras 3 survival 4 gels and 2 ammo. So that doesn't help much. I know that the last 3 waves are the hardest so I have a long way to go.

I would just wait a little if I were you, until you get at least 4 consumables of each sort. Only 2 missiles means that basically you can't nuke any spawn in the last waves. This means long and quite painful solos, even more that you still miss most of the most powerful / solos friendly characters in the game, and that your best weapons are at very low levels.    

[czeuch]

Sorry my mistake. I have 3 cobras and 2 ops. Things would be much better if the game didn't give me devices
I know I should kite but devices sucks anyway.

Concentrate on getting better gear and more consumables, then do your solos. It's the faster solution overall.

Yeah? Never happened to me.

Yeah but I like a challenge

I'm now convinced that I can do it. Made it to device 4 on w10 naked. Started w10 without anything but ammo. Unfortunately a mistake from my side made me die while attempting to do device 4.

I'm pretty sure that if I get decent objectives while using a cyclo 3, str enhancer 3 or shotgun amp 3, and some ammo bonus, I can do. Of course it'll take me a few tries but I'll keep practicing gold naked.

BTW isn't warp ammo a good one? 35%dmg, 75%biotic dmg and armor weakening 50%. With all gear I might be able to take on 2 primes if I play smart. I might even do something as to equip an AR to shoot them from afar in order to play safe and not focus that much on melee.

I already ran a marathon with the krogand during my practicing. You can see that by the time it took me to get to w10.

I must say that w8 and w9 were so long and annoying. I thought it there were infinite enemies. The wave started with a small group of hunters, bombers and pyros but I played safe and ran in circles killing them little by little. But they kept coming. Probably a big budget for that wave...

In any case, I'll get there soon
Probably a bit over 100h of game.

Warp ammo is most effective on targets that have been primed with biotics (Warp, Reave, DC, DS, Stasis, Pull, Singularity, AF, Lash, Smash, Barrier).

[czeuch]

Most effective... I see. But if I shoot the target then charge, wouldn't my BC get bonus dmg due to the ammo power?

[Sinful Force]

Not sure what you mean, but lets say you Reave, all Warp ammo shots do extra dmg. But as soon as you detonate Reave with Cluster nades, your Warp ammo doesn't get the dmg bonus anymore until you prime the enemy with Reave again.

 

Biotic Charge does not prime for combos, so it does not give Warp ammo dmg bonus. 

[DaemionMoadrin]

I listed all biotic primers. ^^

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Warp ammo doesn't prime the target.

You didn't.

Biotic Sphere (with Rank 6 Warp Effect evolution), Shockwave (with Rank 6 Lifting Shockwave evolution), Lift Grenades.

 

I didn't know that Barrier primes, though.

[czeuch]

I understand now it worked with stuff that are biotically primed already. I'll check AP, might be a better option.

The armor weakening works for all dmg sources? If I shoot a prime with AP ammo then HM it, does my HM does more dmg?

No, it only relates to hit scan weapons.

AP don't prime or weaken anything, it negates the armor damage resistance to hit scan weapons.

Armor weakening works the same, it removes part of the damage resistance.
