    No, Shockwave was the best power for what they were doing. On multiple reaved/Warped enemies Shockwave is detonating those enemies AND getting hit with the detonation from the surrounding enemies. I play Drell Adept quite a bit, I have area reaved thrown Cluster Grenades at one target got a B.E. then thrown another grenade at another target and got another B.E.
    Could you use Throw? Ya if you upgrade the Throw to hit enemies in a 2m radius but even then with the new buff to BE bonus damage shockwave is better.

    Justicars being mandatory is debatable but they are better than a Drell for this type of playing. Inside the bubble enemies take 25% more damage.

    15% extra 'splosion damage vs half the recharge speed. It's debatable, which by definition makes it not the clear #1 choice. Could've been done by whoever.

    Throw has a faster recharge speed and range and you can curve it. Throw is much much better than shockwave for detonation all around.

    Put up your video proving him wrong (he also says Shockwave is the best power for this strategy)

    Unless they changed it in the most recent patch (haven't played since then), Throw can't set off multiple explosions, only one. Same is true for every power actually. I didn't think Shockwave could either, but I guess it's possible it can. I didn't actually see it trigger multiple in that video but I was kinda zoning out doing other things whilst it played.

    Somebody has a hard-on for random people that make videos of them playing games. I deny your further spankery sir.

    I vastly prefer Engineer. Overload is instant. If your targeting computer can find it and you can see it, it will be hit. None of this "LOLNOPE I DODGED" crap.

    Did you cloak in front of it? I know that hunters sometimes seem to know where you are.

    If you get close to an enemy with cloak up it will take time or a certain distance to "lose" them. Not sure the details, but it's not a perfect cloak, especially at short range.

    Hunters seem to be the worst about it, then primes. Anything will see through it though if you are close, in my experience. Melee Geth Infiltrator is my go-to for farming gold now since you can kill so damn fast. For Geth+Firebase White, I can easily keep the stairs/room clear and double back to clear enemies that get close. Melee GI is fun as fuck.

    I finally unlocked Salarian Infiltrator so I've been messing around with all of the Sniper rifles as I level it. I have determined that I HATE the javelin, and the Valiant is almost haxx. I have put up easily my highest scores on any class using the Valiant with damage+armor piercing mods. The combination of the 3 shot clip, almost no kickback, and the super quick reload, and you have ridiculous damage output. Then you add in the bonuses from the cloak and you can take down any heavy fairly quickly.

    See, I have terrible luck. All I ever get is shotguns. I have the basic of each weapon plus the Mantis sniper, the Mattock and the explosive-rounds AR, the arc pistol and some slightly altered base pistol, the Locust and some crappy SMG, and then like 6 shotguns, most of them level 2-3. I have the Claymore 3. Made me so mad, since I NEVER use shotguns, especially not the Claymore. Fuck single shot slow-ass reload. Not to mention it's heavy as fuck.

    I hate shotguns. If shit is close enough to warrant using a shotgun, it's close enough to warrant using my fist, or my SMG, or my AR, or a power.

    Does EA give a fuck? Nope. RNG the fuck out of everything! Fucking RNG. I hate it.

    Came into a Gold match on wave 2, team was wiped. Ten or twelve Geth wandering around. Soloed them on Salarian infiltrator with Mantis X. Proceeded to top the scoreboard with my uncanny headshot accuracy and tech bursts. Also, proximity mine damage increase and headshots eat Primes for breakfast. Salarian infiltrator's become my favourite class to play on FBW.

    Didn't get the damn extraction achievement though: some idiot Geth engineer was AFK the whole damn time and got eaten by Geth as we extracted.

    Shotguns are beast, especially the Claymore. I almost only use shotguns on bronze/silver now. And valiant really is hax, a couple of times this weekend I would miss my 2nd shot because i was expecting recoil when you get virtually none.
