Elotana posted:SOMEONE ANSWER ME Just the regular sniper rifle one. It's also interesting to note that, because recon mine doesn't seem to affect your cloak at all, and your other power is a grenade, bonus power is completely useless to the Drell Infiltrator. I went to the invasive scan build, and it is pretty great. +80% from Damage-spec cloak + 25% from recon mine on all your weapons damage, with cloak-boosted homing grenades, makes for a ton of damage. Getting caught means you die pretty much instantly but in the meantime you can do quite a lot of damage.

Yea the Vol guard looks amazingly fun and ridiculously durable. AND I FINALLY GOT A KROGUARD.  I love those character packs already. Also I decided to try the shadow out on gold since that's the difficulty that matters, I did better than I thought I would, I only went down about 3 times, usually to some bullshit, she's really destructive with all the melee bonuses. Though it seems there's a number of things that give her issues, you need full shields if you're gonna melee a ravager otherwise the acid pools will obliterate you, brutes seem to start turning around as you're about to slash em, also a few times I went for the slash and ended up getting staggered, guess I hit his rear end bone or something.

BreakAtmo posted:I imagined that the advantage of the Volus Vanguard would be him being the most mobile medic. Someone's down across the map. Charge the closest enemy (assuming there aren't too many) and revive/shield boost. Have you found this to be true at all? I would say that this is pretty true. You can charge in cloaked and get them up without being shot at much while they're staggered and looking for someone else to shoot because you're invisible.

The volus vanguard needs his own spin off game, comic, merchandise and anime. I even put an eviscerator on mine and gave him weapon damage out of charge. You can also reverse charge by walking backwards and shield boosting.

Stickman posted:If it works like arc grenades, then you'll want to be cloaked when you set off the explosion, but not necessarily when you drop the mine. Yeah, after some light testing, it seems the cloak boost to recon mine only occurs if you detonate while cloaked. Firing the mine while cloaked and detonating while uncloaked gives no extra damage. Because the cooldown on mine is so long, the way to go is to fire and detonate in the one cycle. I'm finding it hard to build my guy. Here's how I'm thinking: Cloak: Minmum 4 Grenade: 6 Recon Mine: 6 Drell Assassin: 4, but I wan't that extra power damage of rank 5 Fitness: ??? Rank 6 movement speed not mandatory on this Drell I guess I could go 4/6/6/5/5 with 2 left over points?

Elotana posted:I'm gonna go 5/4/6/5/6, homing grenades are just not all that great by themselves evo 6 weakens enemy armor, right? That's my main use for them as a Demolisher, is to grenade a target I've gotten down to armor (or that is armor, brutes for example) so my followup barrage of gunfire obliterates them. I could see cloak -> grenade -> gun (or given the travel time, grenade, wait, cloak->gun as soon as the grenade hits) working pretty well but that's all theorycrafting.

I like to keep both grenades specced to 6 because I like the versatility of being able to reliably take out armor and/or shields but that's just me. Maybe I'm spreading it too thin. E: nevermind. Thought we were talking about demolishers.

I'm thinking maybe skip homing grenade, or take it to 3-4 and mainly concentrate on stacking damage bonuses. 80% from cloak, 25% from recon mine, ~30% from passive weapon damage options and another 50% or so from weapon mods and gear. Could be pretty nice. VVV Good point. Though if you did use a sniper, I think the 25% bonus at rank 6 is multiplicative. Even more damage

I bought a few and it seems like it's just a specter pack, but you get 2 rare guns. Not too sure about how it handles ultra rares, but the description doesn't mention any extra chance so I don't think there is one. I just want a Kishock dammit!

Not too sure about how it handles ultra rares, but the description doesn't mention any extra chance so I don't think there is one. Since packs roll for card type first (character, weapon, gear, etc) before rolling rarity, even if the Arsenal Packs have the same UR rate, they should have a higher drop rate if UR weapons (because they drop more weapons in general). Of course I'm assuming Bioware left the UR rate alone, so who knows? With such low drop rates there's no way to be sure until BSN compiles a thousand or so open packs. I'll probably keep rolling regular spectre packs. At the rate I've been getting Silver gear I'll probably max my URs first!

Moose12 posted:Thank the lord for these reserve packs, I want to fill out all my characters. Speaking of, just unlocked the Geth infiltrator, whats the best way to spec him out and use him? He's a decent sniper but I prefer to use him as a shotgun Infiltrator myself and use the SalInf as my dedicated sniping class instead. Hunter mode is quite handy for shotgun Infiltrator. I think I'm using a bit of an unorthodox 4/6/6/6/4 build, something like this here for mine. The nice thing about not using him as a sniper Infiltrator is that you can leave Cloak at 4 and distribute the remaining points however you like. Use Prox. Mine as an opener when emerging from Cloak and then just proceed to fry whatever you just weakened and staggered with the mine with your Reegar. Level 4 Hunter Mode is up to your preference, but since I mostly use the Reegar, I don't need the accuracy bonus and therefore use Recharge Speed bonus. I would recommend going with Speed & Vision for level 6 because the additional vision range bonus makes a huge difference in my opinion. How you want to distribute your class passive and fitness skills is up to you I guess. I personally find that I have enough survivability without leveling fitness to 6, what with Hunter Vision and Cloak, so I level fitness to 4 and dump the rest in the passive mostly for extra weapon damage.

Oh, one thing about the VolGuard, at least on PS3. Apparently he is subject to Vanguard Rapture, the likes of which haven't been A Thing since like 6 months ago. It's a different kind of Vanguard Rapture though. Here's what happened: The guy died, and his body was showing as being underneath the Reactor on Firebase of the same name. Every round after that, he was apparently doing stuff, occasionally showed up on the kill feed and also died sometimes, but none of us could see him. Then one wave I died and went to his perspective. He was alive but there was nothing on the screen but a white-hot ball of glowing... glow. I took a picture of it, let me get my phone:

The nice thing about not using him as a sniper Infiltrator is that you can leave Cloak at 4 and distribute the remaining points however you like. That's actually a pretty standard build for shotguns. Except I'd recommend accuracy and firing rate for anyone using a Piranha. Geth Inf. is actually the only class where I don't take fitness past 3 and it's pretty easy to keep alive with the extra range on hunter mode and cloak keeping you out of the line of fire. Here's my build. I trade some DPS for extra utility; I take duration for capping objectives and tactical positioning and being able to fire a proxy mine without decloaking is really useful for doing revives/retreats since it'll stagger the enemies to cover your escape. Rick posted:Does the biotic explosion bonus from lash and warp stack with the Batarian adept? Yeah they stack, unless there's a weird bug I don't know about.

So, that Acolyte/vanguard charge combo zxqv8 really likes? I discovered that it kinda sorta works with a Graal as well. Charge up the gun, point it at an enemy and charge. The gun goes off while you take off, and the enemy will first get a faceful of spikes and then a faceful of Vanguard. Of course, the Graal is a bit heavy, but a Graal X on a Kroguard still gives a +170% cooldown rate. Not so sure if it's really viable with other vans with less weight capacity.
