Chilly McFreeze posted:Yeah, I was setting off explosions when I could. I think I was carrying a sniper rifle instead of a lighter gun, which meant my cooldown after DC was pretty long. So I couldn't set off my own explosions very often. But I did find out that a DC + Throw was enough to kill a Phantom, which was very helpful to my not dying abilities.

highmodulus posted:The buffs have made Batarian Sentinel into almost KroGuard levels of fun. The lvl 6 Submission Net & Falcon Punch combo is hilarious. If punching someone's head off is wrong, I don't want to be right. . . Yeah blade armor is great. The damage reduction and extra shield recharge rate make batarians very tough, good especially if you like to melee a lot. You shouldn't feel bad about skipping it in favor of other things though if you think you can manage without it, especially on the sentinel.

I played a really annoying gold match on Vancouver against cerberus. A random dude I played with once who added me to his friends list was looking for people to play with, so I invited him to a game. After he showed up the other slots never filled up(because jesus christ is it hard to get a gold non white geth match) so we were all 'gently caress the police' and went in just the two of us, him a destroyer and me a vorcha sentinel. We tore through the first two waves no problem, and around the third more people finally started joining. The other two dudes never ever fell back no matter how badly we got overrun in the office, and the guy I invited eventually left the second time we had to watch a demolisher with a Krysae spend twenty minutes soloing the second half of a wave. They spent the whole time running away without actually killing anything without missiles, and used every one of their medigels to keep going. Ugh. Also I tried the Piranha Geth infiltrator people were advocating so much, but I couldn't really make it work. He's too fragile to stand in one place unloading the eight round clip, and the cloak only boosts like one shot's damage. I far prefer the claymore or GPS because I like large damage per shot weapons that can hit from more than five feet. Also the blade armor for Batarian sentinel is great, I like to run recklessly into pairs of phantoms and have killed them by getting their barriers down and letting them attack me while I focus on netting shooting and punching the other one.

Paracelsus posted:Just make sure the gun you end up with can penetrate armor, because otherwise you'll have problems with Guardians. If you bring a hurricane you can just point it vaguely towards the mail slot and a few of the hundreds of bullets should take them out. Or use throw to get them to flail wildly and then shotgun them. The disciple is the lightest shotgun so it gives good cool downs, and the whole 'stagger every hit' does work about a third of the time, so it's decent.

If you really want to snipe with the Fury then spec out of AF and carry a Paladin with Scope + ULM. DC + Throw is a reliable combo at long range and if you're not interested in CQC then you won't get much out of AF.

Practicing for this weekend's operation by no-cons soloing Bronze with a Vorcha Sentinel. Seems pretty straightforward, actually, slap a Reegar on that guy and the only thing that can take him out is Atlas cannons and Turrets. It's fun, and worth doing even if only to yell "CHOKE AND DIE" while spamming grenades in the final few seconds of extraction

I far prefer the claymore or GPS because I like large damage per shot weapons that can hit from more than five feet. You must be doing something really wrong, because the Piranha GethInf is probably the most overpowered class right now, even after the Piranha was tuned down again. Equip AP ammo, Shotgun Rail Amp and maybe a Cyclonic Modulator and go to town. You being fragile barely matters, as nothing really lives long enough to harm you. Seriously, an Atlas dies in like 1.5-2 clips without anybody helping. You can singlehandedly hold the stairs while Geth farming, no matter how many Primes come down. A Claymore doesn't even come close DPS wise.

It seems like he isn't using Proxy Mine or speccing it correctly in order to make the Gethfiltrator with the Piranha work is all. That does seem to be the crutch of the build, along with the Accuracy bonuses to contain the Shotgun spread.

Bleh, I think my skills have atrophied from not having played much for a while now. Though admittedly the Banshees (and even a Brute that should have been dead) seem to love the hell out of my ribcage today. However, I did finally get Juggernaut Shield, so I'm no longer outright missing any of the gold gears. I hadn't noticed until now (or maybe I just forgot) that new things get a shine playing over the card while other things don't. Kinda neat.

I guess it was everyone else's first plat because there was one guy with a mic who was instructing the other guys to go to the basement. Then when the first Cerb showed up mic guy said "what the gently caress, why are there Cerberus here?" and then when the Banshees showed up all I heard was "HOLY poo poo!" Then I murdered them all with my AJ using BE and a Piranha to the face while everyone else ran the gently caress away We made it through payday on wave 10 so it wasn't too bad.

I've been playing around with the Shadow some more and the Acolyte is really good with a tech ammo equiped. You can get really consistant cryo explosions with cryo ammo and electric slash. I'm going to play around with inferno some more and see how that is. Edit: Acolyte is lovely with inferno ammo. I suspect it's because of the low base damage. I'll be sticking with cryo in the future. Ravenfood posted:Its a lighter, weaker Harrier that gets all the bonuses of sniper rifles instead of ARs and comes with a scope. It also has enough ammo to not tether you to a crate, especially with the +spare ammo gear it can carry. Yeah it's pretty good for classes like engineers and justicars who care about weight but don't need to go super high with the cooldown bonus. If you like scoping AR's and have a bunch of sniper amps its a good choice. Lagomorphic fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Sep 7, 2012 |

I tried it with my Destroyer, and it was okay, but I kept thinking I'd much rather have my Harrier, since both were basically ammo black holes. I'll try it with some other stuff later.

OK so this bug just happened: Assassination objective on Hydra, I see an Atlas target spawn around the back... whereupon it just slides sideways out of the map at high speed. Then slides past again and disappears off in the same direction. Then kinda just reappears out of nowhere and Melees one of the guys nearby I had to bunker down into cover for a decent period of time because I just lost my poo poo laughing so hard. If Fraps wasn't so loving obnoxious about popping up in your face every time you Alt-Tab out of a game I'd have it running all the time just so I could capture moments like these

Dear pubbies: if you are going to farm W/G/P for the love of gently caress stop running out onto the back platform to camp, it causes us to get flanked and I can't hold aggro at the console which leads to everyone dying, TIA. loving poo poo people, it ain't hard.

Two Finger posted:Honestly dude I hardly ever play Silver anymore. Gold is a good mix of challenge and fun, especially if your team is halfway competent. Think I might have to crack out the multiplayer for this weekend's challenge, and I think it's Team Batarian time. Who will join me for a whirlwind of nets, spikes, falcon punches, and foot long javelins? Team Batarian would like it to be known that while they look down on other races, they will grudgingly accept an Asari Justicar so that she can turn Team Punchy into Team Invincipunch.

Is this a bug thing or a lag thing: I was doing a gold game with a Slayer armed with a Piranha just now. Whenever I would start shooting, my gun would just stop after firing 2-3 shots. I'd charge a hunter, fire two shots at him, and then die while my gun refuses to work even though I only need 1-2 more to kill it.

So I just discovered that ghost corpse/Vanguard glitching on Rio will cause your corpse to hover over the water before constantly spawning you in the middle over and over. I wonder what the hell Bioware did to not only make the Vanguard glitch more annoying, but make it happen more often and to non-Vanguards.
