You stated in your first post that I said the Wraith does more damage than The Claymore. The problem is, I never said it. I said that the Wraith was better than the Claymore, it's different. I also never said that my opinion was a fact, how could it be ? I'm wondering who is the one not reading posts...

 

Then you add blah blah blah shitty stuff, stupid generalizations I'm not concerned with, vague assumptions about what I could say next... that's all you've got to defend your lovely Claymore ? Give me builds where the Claymore clearly outshines the Wraith, then I will be interested.    

Come on Loufi, it's the same guy that said you can self-detonate FE's with the kroguard, or that the Volus Merc is the strongest character in the game, or that the Valiant is better in every way than the Black Widow among many others. Just ignore him, he has absolutely no credibility.

 

And then this:

"Having an opinion is fine, but saying your opinion is a fact, and invalidates actual facts is BS. Just because you like the number one better than the number 2 doesn't mean one is a bigger number, it means you like one more."

ayy lmao, the irony

 

On topic: Zweihander oops, wrong game. VENOM. The more I use this gun and the better I get with it, the more I love it. It has a very nice learning curve to it. I was so bad with it at first, then it became my go-to weapon on every character and I'm still in progress of getting better with it. Some people say it's easy mode and crutch. I say it's the most unique and fun weapon in the game. If it was easy mode, every pug would use it on their AIU's, but I could count on one hand how many pugs I've seen using it, which is another plus.

 

Maybe if Biowaru didn't give the phantoms 90% DR for the lolz, I'd actually solo with the Claymore too, which is my 2nd fav. weapon (but I still acknowledge that the Wraith is better in most situations).

I am probably gonna get in trouble for this drunken post.

I like Loufi more because of his platinum solos. But this is just wrong.

My Claymore huntress consistently one shots a gold ravager ( after a DC or warp). DC-claymore-warp kills a brute and a few cannibles/husks/marauders nearby as bonus. Make no mistake, I like(d) wraith, but on many kits it somehow messes with my rythm. Just me perhaps. That firing delay. :/. I definitely do better with QFE/Batdept with claymore than with wraith. However when I want lash on Batarian slasher ( which is not rare because I love lashing phantoms and abominations), I tend to choose Wraith.

I used to rank wraith higher than high lord before. But then I found Talon X. Everything wraith does, talon does it better. So if it is a power kit, why would I take wraith over talon? Strips shields and makes better sound ( Not that I care about the sound).

And yes..

What is a platinum and a solo?

At the contrary, I asked for builds where the Claymore outshines the Wraith, and you just gave one, that's great. 

 

I actually agree with you, the Claymore makes perfect sense on the Huntress, because with warp rounds its damage is massively boosted, enough to one-hit kill sub-bosses, and Tac Cloak means that you don't give a **** about cooldowns. Besides, you want DC to spread as soon as possible, so a weapon with the highest OHK possibilities is a great fit.

 

I however don't think Wraith and Talon play the same role. They are both light weapons with solid dps, but Wraith has a higher OHK potential, by far.

The wraith also has way more consistent accuracy. Especially since (and probably because) of the smart choke. The talon's not very good from medium range and beyond without going into cover.

[Dalakaar]

I tried the Raider once and didn't like it.

I will always try something once and if I dont like it, I won't try it again.

Maybe that's why I only have the one child....

Anyways, good to see your old avatar back

I absolutely did not try it on bonuschargedrellgod and ragequit after a few plat waves on Vancouver when I got sync'd. (can't even rightly blame it on lag as it wasn't terrible.)

 

Might have to try it on something a bit, er, face-tankier for plat...

[XxX_DogeID_XxX]

M-44 Supressor on SP... It kills an atlas in ltierally 3 rounds... On MP i haven't decided YET... I'm quite new and still barely have any guns, But from all the guns I have in MP i'd say the reeger carbine

ADS with the Talon will tighten the spread vs. hipfiring, even if you're not in cover.  But I think moving while shooting may open up the spread.  Wraith is more consistent accuracy-wise, I agree.

[Miniditka77]

I should give the Raider another try. Been a very long time since I've used it. Have to figure out what to use it on. /shrug

 

I like it on two classes:  Turian Soldier and Batarian Sentinel.

 

On the TSol, you can turn it into a sniper rifle with Marksman, and you can get a 4-shot Raider for massive damage to bosses (or more shots sometimes off-host).  I like it with Incendiary Ammo, and I skip Proxy Mine and max everything else.  Evolve Concussive Shot for max barrier damage, and you can drop Banshee/Praetorian barriers shockingly fast and detonate fire explosions galore, and you'll only be locked out of Marksman for like 1.5 seconds.  Great all-around kit for every faction.

 

On the Batarian Sentinel, I also use it with Incendiary Ammo.  I just get right up in everything's face and unload, then fire Shockwave for fire explosions and stagger while I'm reloading.  Stack as much shield recharge speed as you can, and it's amazing how infrequently your shields get broken.  I think I usually do 6/5/6/4/5, IIRC.

Cainegis mentioned it earlier in this thread ... Acolyte

 

Seriously, it has been about 2 months since I played a match and the farther I get from playing, the more OP the Acolyte becomes. especially on certain kits (Like Vanguards with Incendiary / Disruptor 4 rounds - broken)

 

Combine it with a Hurricane and you have the most broken, no weight weapon set up in the game.

 

PS. For you PS3 players, remember, while the Reegar is definitely a 'broken' weapon on its own, it isn't nearly as effective as the PC players posting here are intimating. It does more damage the higher the frame rate. Unless paired on a kit with Warp / Incinerate / Flamer and using Incendiary ammo .. then it is beyond broken

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

... I feel so sorry for you me trying to control a sniper isnt a pretty sight... its a whole lot of missing and not a great deal of hitting... its like my attempt at playing baseball in the 10th grade, really

That's why I use the semi-auto sniper rifles, if and when I do any sniping.

Honestly though, I've found it easier to just give all my characters an assault rifle or a Tempest. xD

[yrael]

I made the idiot decision of trying to improve my sniping on platinum. I didn't die much, but I also didn't hit a lot of things, so...

It took me about 4 months to pick up Sniping in this game (it doesn't really behave as expected, especially with the autoaim that we suffer on PS3).

I would recommend easing into it. Start with guns like the Saber and the Arc Pistol, maybe the Paladin. They're a little more forgiving than Sniper Rifles, and tend to reward accuracy (A headshot from even the Saber is devastating, Arc Pistol and Paladin, even moreso). From there, I would recommend moving onto the Valiant (Or Viper, if you're fine with running it on Silver), then the Black Widow, then the Javelin. If you host, you also might want to try the Kishock after that, it has the potential to be the most powerful, but it is difficult to use (I also find that I end up just going for body shots with it, since the projectile nature makes it difficult to hit moving targets).

I would agree to the argument that the Claymore have an edge over the Wraith on AR builds, which basically is limited to the vanilla human soldier and the BF3 soldier (which will be played identically anyway). Pulling that off takes quite a lot of specific skills and experience though and not something the average pug is capable of, so far Mission_Scrubbed is the only player I've played with that's really good at it.

Then I will agree that the Claymore is by far the coolest gun in the game, but that being said it's also far from the best.

Yes, I also prefer the Claymore on Adrenaline Rush characters, that auto-reload with a 70% damage boost is glorious. I prefer the Claymore over the Wraith on the AIU too, notably because it allows me to one-hit kill Ravagers on gold. Maybe on the GI too... Lastly I use the Claymore on the krogan soldier, but in that case it's more for role-playing than for pure efficiency.

 

Your last sentence sounds very wise to me.

Heh yeah same here, running around with a bad ass Krogan packing the biggest and meanest gun in the game is very satisfying.

With APIV and claymore the AIU can one shot every platinum level mook/captain level enemy and ravagers (provided all shots hit of course) and I think it'll take a brute down to a few bars of armor.

You really need to give the BW a chance, though. It plays differently from the semis and single shots.

This (description of the Claymore) is why it is the only gun for my QFE. Tiny girls like big guns.

I think at the moment, I have the Claymore on the KroSol as well. I went just a little too pyjak with him at one stage with Hurricane/Acolyte combo, so I needed to be more Krogan for a while. Would've gotten me a Gold Solo too, except Banshee decided to grab me on the final stairs of the end-to-end White Escort (that ends near the LZ).... just as I was dangling in the air, the wave 10 credits appeared, so there is that. Game was set to public, too

It was such a blast that the gun stayed.

[Urizen]

Shotguns: Do you even have to ask?

Pistols: Arc!

ARs: Plenty

SMGs: CSMG

 

Overall though, HIGH LORD! That BOOOOOM!

Nat's Claymoar HSol is fairly frightening to behold as well.  I would have to play out of my mind just to keep within 60-80K.

It was actually the QFE that made me realize that I don't have an interest in using the Claymoar -- when I care about CD.  On an Inf or a no-inc KroSent, fine.

 

But on the flipside, she helped me realize how much I enjoy the Executioner, compared to any other single shot spike dmg weapon at least.  I gotta feel snappy; I can't feel like a lumbering tank gunner.

Have you tried the claymore asari adept? It's pretty dope and with reload cancelling it times really nicely with the longer cooldowns.
