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

He is right. Start a gold private match alone and throw statis on something. It'll last the full 7 seconds. It's the same with phantoms.

[Lonely]

Ya stasis breaks pretty much immediately after taking damage, and the cooldown nerf was needed since the shit is overpowered. I think the 35% chance of no cooldown is better than the .3 cooldown choice.

[Kiarax]

Even if Phantoms do break out quickly, they fall on the floor when they come out of Stasis so it's still a Godsend. It's not ideal for Biotic Combos.

Ooo, now I have an asari vanguard. Going to be hard to outdue the awesomeness that is my krogan vanguard. Has anyone tried lift grenades? What do you feel about using them?

if you have a friend to play with Lift grenades > pull is very very fun

I play Asari Vanguard a lot, My view on Lift Grenades is if you`re going to use Lift Grenades upgrade it fully. Anything less than rank 6 and the damage isn`t that great. And since Asari Vanguard`s Grenades are the weakest out of all grenade users best to maximize damage on every evolution.
My current AsariGuard has 0 points in Lift Grenade. But in my previous build of 6/6/6/5/3(really really fun) you Stasis, throw Grenade and get a Biotic Explosion, Charge in then shoot up everything.

Lift Grenades are best used in tight quarters in my experience, if a target is lifted you can charge in and get another biotic explosion. Sometimes LG won`t explode on a stasis`ed target, and they take some getting used to aiming wise.

Another way to use LG is Stasis, Charge in(have the Power Damage/Force for 15 secs boost) then throw a LG and dash out. Asari Vanguard can take out multiple enemies just as the ManGuard, not in the same manner of course.

Just want to mention something about the Asari`s Biotic Dash. If you dash by or away or around an enemy(except Heavies) it does damage and stuns them. You`re also invincible during the animation if you have barriers up.

I've come to the conclusion that I think Sentinel is my least favorite job on Gold. Even running with the Turian overloading Geth wasn't fun for me. Maybe it's a mental block. I just don't have fun playing it.

[Obev]

Human Sentinel's OK against Reapers on gold. Warp/Throw spam fiesta blows up Brutes and Banshees pretty fast. Other than that, Turian feels gimp, Krogan's bronze only weaponspam, and I haven't got the Batarian.

[Brill Weave]

I'll have to try out the human and see if it changes my view at all. I was trying to get all my jobs leveled up. I miss playing as my Engineer lol. So much fun on Gold.

[Ikarys]

Huh, I actually really like Turian Sentinel on Geth gold for farming. Overload + an assault rifle, more health and shields than an engineer, tech armor in a pinch if things get crazy. As long I'm good about sticking to cover, I rarely have any problems. Not the most fun (that'd probably be reave / grenade spam on Drell Adept), but it definitely gets the job done.

[Rhyis.]

Turian sentinel isn't bad. Spamming overload and warp with an assault rifle can be good times (fuck tech armor). Using a pistol on every fucking class gets old.

[Obev]

You can get 200% reduction, or near enough, with some assault rifles and even a couple of shotguns. Can be more fun than pistol/smg. Until I got the N7 auto heavy pistol (wtf hax) I used an Avenger X on Geth engineer and got 200% reduction, with the piercing and barrel mods and disruptor or incendiary ammo it ate Geth up pretty quick and gave me something to do in the few seconds between power spamming.

[Ikarys]

I really enjoy the Vindicator X with barrel and armor piercing; good range for an assault rifle and good control behind cover, decent damage on the 3rd burst. Headshots up close aren't difficult and it packs enough punch between overload spam to do some good.

[Lonely]

Human sentinel is just a stasisless asari adept that can sorta be used to hold a spot with tech armor spam. Turian sentinel is the truest hybrid in the game, he doesn't excel at anything but can do shit. Krogan Sentinel is weapon based, but you need powers in gold, Batarian Sentinel is pretty lackluster and completely overshadowed by the soldier version.

They're all pretty fun on silver at least but fun isn't allowed on gold.

[Jakson]

I've been running Geth Plasma SMG X with Ultralight materials V + barrel and Carnifex X with barrel and scope and can still get 200% which is pretty great, though I only tend to pull out the SMG when fighting something like an Atlas, Prime, Brute, or Banshee when she's not charging. Friends call the SMG the water hose.

Thanks for these tips btw, I started off with your first setup, pretty fun actually. I wish BW would allow us to move our hotkeys, grenades are right next to another skill and I often hit them by accident >< I need 1 blank key in between.

ALSO:

Is there any sort of bonus or anything for points at the end of the match? When I screw around on Bronze with my Krogan Vanguard I usually blow away everyone else's score, and often times on Silver when I play my Geth Engineer, I find myself ahead by quite a bit and I'm only doing my job. Points at end of match just e-peen material? It's not like I'm always first, and a team win is good enough for me tbh.

Everyone's points are added together at the end for your EXP gain. Other than that the ranking is just as you say, e-peen.

[Plow]

I still wonder if it's better points to have, say, 2 people get 100 kills vs 4 people with 50, but as far as I could ever tell it's a negligible difference if any.

[Mots]

The EXP you get from medals only goes to you. So having 2 people kill 100 enemies doesn't help out the other 2 people other than they get regular exp for all those kills at the end of the match anyways.

[fren.]

A bit late to the party, but is this game a must buy if you enjoyed ME2?
