Mines at 2. Don't be jelly.

I was disappointed when I got Crusader II, weight reduction means my Krogan Sentinel is no longer at -200% cooldown, I mean, what's the point really?



Actually, I have noticed one interesting thing with Crusader: with smart choke on, I actually get headshots about 99% of the time aiming from the hip. I just point the damn thing, click, headshot.

What are some tips for playing an adept? Ive never played one, but unlocked asari adept last night so i figured why not? Am i mostly support? Assault rifle for weapon, pistol? Only lvl 8 so ive got time

I use a light pistol that keeps me at +200% recharge speed then just spam warp and throw for biotic explosions on gold (stasis > warp/throw works on silver/bronze if you want to get the hang of it). I almost never fire my pistol unless something has like 2 bars of life left and I'm waiting on a cooldown after a stasis or warp.

I wish I had this on PC now. =/

This must be a console issue. I have played probably 50+ matches (n7 800+) and the closest things I have had to leechers are a guy that went afk for 3 waves and a guy that glitched out with a shaking character looking at the ground and ignored by enemies that dropped on wave 9 or so.

I have never been in a match were someone ran to a corner to hide to leech.

I don't believe you, I hear xbox has the most Afk'ers and credit glitchers out of the 3 systems, PC has the most hackers though.

Seriously, I'm ~N7 850ish on PC (check my armory page under Dryr1) and at worst I have had people afk for 2-3 rounds. I have never had "full-time" leechers. In fact, I have afk'd for a round or two. You can't pause and if something irl comes up that takes a few mins, an afk for a couple rounds beats dropping and leaving your team 3/4 for the rest of the match considering replacements rarely come through thanks to how sh*tty BW and EA servers/connections are.

I've never really had problems with people afk'ing during a match on PS3, but have had problems with people being afk in the lobby a lot.

[Rhyis.]

I've had to afk in a game from wave 3 onward once. I probably should've just alt+f4'd the game but sometimes shit goes down irl and ME3 simply isn't on the forefront of your mind.

Is warp -> throw almost instantaneous? Since I had points in stasis already I maxed that and warp, but even with 200% recharge I have wait several seconds between a stasis -> warp combo. The delay isn't proving to be worth it atm. I have 3 respec tokens so I can totally use one if warp -> throw is faster

[payu]

Warp->Throw is the best. Fuck Stasis tbh.

[Lonely]

Don't use the respect card. weapons > shitty respect card. Just level and promote, oh and yes Warp -> throw is superior to stasis -> whatever. You really only need stasis for phantoms, but still spec it for bubble.

[Rulke]

DJust level and promote,

Derp. Its been so long since I promoted anything I totally forgot about this ><; Thanks for the tips everyone. Adept has been a lot of fun and sounds like once I get these tweaks in it'll be rockin awesome.

Well, I glitched through the map when I used some medigel on FBW. I'm trapped under the landing pad while my team kills everything above me. I can still interact with stuff above me, hacking and reviving people, but it's weird as hell. Enemies are trying to target me, but can't. My decoy's still above the map enemies are targeting it, I can shoot enemies (piercing mod on my pistol), but my other powers don't go through. Odd. We're winning. Wave 8 just started.

My recharge speed on Warp is 2.46s. While that sounds small it can feel like a long time. The nice thing is, Warp stays on a mob for like 10 seconds so you can spam Throw which has like no recharge time (1.23s on mine) until Warp wears off and get biotic combo's galore (really helpful on mobs with lots of HP i.e. Primes, Ravagers, Banshees, Atlas's, etc). You can decrease recharge on Warp at level 6 by 35% if you want (not worth it imo) but you give up "increased damage to barriers and armor by 50% and weaken armored targets by an additional 25%" which is really nice to have on golds.

No fuck BW for nerfing stasis. It`s original base cooldown was 8 seconds. For some reason they increased it to 12 seconds. Phantoms on Gold will stay in stasis for maybe 2 seconds with a cooldown(at 200% recharge) of 3.81 seconds or 3.6 seconds if you don`t take bonus cooldown. Fuck that.

[Ohemgee]

[Dryr]

fck yeah! got me a Hurricane II from the commendation pack released 4 days late after breaking the game for a day on PC. I don't know what I'm gonna do with so many reasons to not play this game anymore... Back for more e-crack next weekend fo sho.

Phantoms on gold stay in stasis for 2 seconds if they got shot at by a dumb fuck weilding a pistol. Stasis is damage based in addition to time based, and unfortunately 1 carnifex shot will break a stasis (as will something like an overload) while it's typically better to let someone snipe the bitch in the dome. You're just having shitty teammates breaking stasis is all

No, test it. Phantoms break out of stasis on gold literally a split second before the cooldown is complete.

This. Stasis length is based on a hit/damage basis if not timed out. If an idiot takes an AR to a stasis'd mob, they fall/break out almost immediately. But, if a valiant/BW-wielding shooter pops them twice, they are dead before falling.
