I play my Asari Adept in a weird way. Rounds 1, 2, 4 and 5 I mostly just dick around with my sniper rifle popping heads and melee anything that gets too close to death while it's floating. Rounds 3 and 6 I pull out the charger and dash around like a madman punching bitches. Round 7 is about a minute 1:15 of sniper time, 30 seconds of running around and 15 seconds of hiding.

I generally run into a group of enemies, detonate twice then finish off whatever's left. If I see something shoot at me, I run/dash towards them to get them floating and then detonate/shoot. Rinse repeat. Gets pretty hectic if I find myself surrounded, then its a mad dash of running about trying to get things into Annihilation so I can blow them up. I also use the Piranha, which is a great boon when fighting the bigger targets. Just hide behind the nearest cover and blind-fire in their general direction in between Lances.

Two games in a row, crash to desktop at round 6. Being a glutton for punishment, I tried again and got a CTD at round 5. That's over an hour of playing on gold and getting no rewards from it. Anyway, now that I've played with the patch, the nerfs to melee don't seem that bad. I barely noticed getting staggered, and I can still facetank a Hydra and punch it to death, so I'm still having fun. Just not unlocking anything because I can't get any money to buy any packs.

Combined with the bit where they have no z axis on their sync kill and can do it from 2 floors below you it makes them sneakier than the guys who are actually invisible. Good games all around tho. I finally got an Ishray, which just feels really good to use.

What's a good build for the Avenger? The knife teleport is hilarious but I suspect not actually viable in Gold. Should I just max out Stealth Grid and Stickies, and then sneak around blowing things up?

Does anyone play human engineer at all? I'm wondering what sort of build you'd spec into.. it seems like that armor weakening from cryobeam and cryo turret would be a good thing for support.

This is what I thought, and then I did the gold strike mission against Kett. Minigun Assholes will stagger you every other punch, and then your pretty much dead from whoever else is shooting you. I also don't remember a single minigunner being able to take me down in a quarter second with both charge and bastion dr up. Maybe one or both is broken?

They did fix the Anointed so that they can actually hit you when you're in close range. Their bullets used to magically miss half the time when you were close enough to them.

The minigunners used to not be able to target you if you were point blank, i.e. whenever you were playing Vanguard correctly. Now that they do, they do the requisite stupid amounts of damage and can't be staggered because they're shielded. Kett are also just cancerous horseshit in general so gently caress them. Call me back on playing Kett when you can Cobra Ascendants that park their bullshit asses on the upload point. Also gently caress upload and gently caress the guy who designed upload, he's a prick.

Yeah but at least in this scenario you aren't confined to standing in a stupid tiny circle to complete the objective. And god help you if you get down to just one left and every enemy swarms you. I was playing the Gold Remnant no revives Apex Mission earlier and that happened, gently caress that poo poo.

Does anyone have a good solution for how slow building shaders is every time you turn the game on? It takes a couple minutes to even get into a match after you ready up now.

Pretty sure what's happening in all of those is the Fiend's normal charge attack following right up into a regular sync kill. His charge is fast. When you're not hosting, it'll often skip his entire animation on your client and look as though he teleported right to you. In the cases where you get pulled across the map, I assume it's the lovely net code trying to parse your location in relation to the Fiend so is can start the sync animation. It could probably be fixed pretty easily by making sure the Fiend had a short cooldown between his charge and sync kill attacks. Doubt that'll happen, though! Always be hosting!

That could be part of it, but it also seems like I'm taking more damage from getting shot at a distance as well. Ainsley McTree posted:I didn't realize that the saving barrier evolution allowed you to survive sync kills, that seems pretty nice to have. I was leaning toward the "restore shields on kill" evolution but it seems like the other one is the clear choice. Even if barrier 6a restored 50% shields on every kill (instead of 10% on a biotic kill), 6b would still be the better choice because it gives your shields back when you are getting shot and are about to die. Plus, having to get the kill shot to power your boosts is annoying as hell and actively discourages team play - that's one of the main advantages of pugging a human vanguard over krogan on gold.

I think the implication is to skip putting extra points into Throw in order to take Offensive Biotics 6a, which you absolutely can. Honestly, since +biotic damage/force (probably) doesn't apply to combos, I'd just go 6b for the hefty melee boost. The only real advantage of taking Throw to 3 is the 20% recharge bonus (and maaaabye force) - damage is so piddly that +20 is barely noticeable.

If you don't put any points into Throw, that gives you 5 points back, not enough to buy Rank 6 of Biotics. However it looks like we're both wrong because at level 20/X you have enough points to go 6/6/6/6/1 so the 6/6/6/5/3 build leaves 1 point unspent, you could do 6/6/6/4/4. Math.

I'm not sure why that makes us both wrong? You can go 6/6/6/6/1, which is what Zakmonster was saying (and I was advocating).

No, I meant him and I both were wrong, but for different reasons. I didn't take the floating point into account when he advocated taking Biotics 6 instead of Throw 3, since I'm right that leaving Throw at 1 only gives you 5 points, but wrong because I forgot there was 1 leftover point if the one you leave a 1 is a core power.
