I hope they never nerf snap freeze, since it's clearly detonating chilled targets.

Edit: it allows you to detonate chilled targets

Oh, N7 Destroyer, my sweet prince. The dream has died. Goodbye Cerb. Harrier / Piranha madness.

I know

I just got my Cerberus Harrier yesterday. Was going to try that loadout today. Now what's the point.

**Mots** · 2012-10-25 10:38

Destroyer is still powerful though right? I haven't played it since the nerf but he can still do good damage right? Just not nearly as optimal now?

Also, that Turian Infiltrator is pretty awesome. Stim packs plus Cloak is awesome.

**Ikarys** · 2012-10-25 10:42

I'll have to try out Destroyer and see just how bad the firing rate / damage nerf is; admittedly, it used to be a little overpowered. Incidentally, Turian Ghost Infiltrator is probably a suitable substitute, the assault rifle buff out of tactical cloak + full damage stimpacks is awesome

Yeah it is. I like using a Saber with it. The last evolution of the Turian cloak gives +20% damage to Assault Rifles for 10 seconds, so the first shot does +100% damage and the rest of the clip gets a hefty damage boost. Add stim packs on top of that, and the rifle's idiotically high base damage, and provided you can headshot consistently you can wreak untold havoc (pun intended for the wrong Turian).

I fucking love the Turian Infiltrator. I think it might be my favorite class right now. I've been rolling with my Black Widow IV. I have hard a really hard time playing as either of the Volus. Not being able to hurdle stuff, take cover, or shoot over obstacles seems like too big a detriment to me.

Operation VALKYRIE (Oct. 26th – 28th)

An elite asari unit recently recovered shipments of Alliance weapons that had been intercepted by Cerberus. The weapons will soon be delivered to the front lines where they belong. With fresh supplies and skilled reinforcements, we were able to increase the number of targets planned for our next assault.

Individual Goal: Earn 50,000 points using N7 promotional weapons (Valiant, Hurricane, Crusader, Eagle) on any map at any difficulty. The four weapons may be used in combination. Points will be cumulative. Extraction is not required.

Reward: Commendation Pack

Other: The N7 Valkyrie assault rifle will be added to the list of possible commendation pack items.

Now this sounds like a fun event, i'm guessing valkyre will be imported to MP without any changes from SP though, in that case its going to suck till it gets buffed.

The asari sentinel is super fun, 6/6/6/4/4. Tech armor for full 50% DR, Annihilation field for Movement speed and drain, warp for combos and a up close weapon like the reeger and you dominate. Compared to fury she has much much more survivability especially with her quick sliding dodges.

**Rulke** · 2012-10-25 20:21

^Thanks for this! I was thinking about how I wanted to set mine up and this sounds perfect. I don't play sentinel much but this outta be gewd!

I've been wondering why people go 6/6/6/4/4 instead of 6/6/6/5/3 as I've been doing for my power-spam kits. Does the extra point in Fitness really outweigh the rank 5 passive power damage bonus? I think I've only ever gone that route on much more weapons-centric classes that wouldn't benefit from more power damage. On those I tend to skip a power and go 6/6/0/6/6 for max melee and gun damage or huge shields anyway. Care to explain? I really want this Asari, played with one on Gold FBW Cerb last night and it was setting up explosions everywhere. Seems like every time my Kroguard charged an Atlas it'd go "boom."

Another thing I learnt last night was that FBW hazard + Krogan rage = impossible to see anything outside. Stupid blizzard...

I go 6/6/6/4/4 on the asari sent passives because of the combination of weight reduction, power damage, and extra health so I have a bit of everything allowing for more flexibility which is what sentinels have always been about. +15% Power damage doesn't effect biotic explosions which is where the majority of damage is coming from on her, the extra point in fitness is well spent especially with the DR from tech armor.

If you want to know the exact build I use.

Oh I should also add I use one single heavy weapon on her, I like the reegar but raider is nice too, just something that fits her up close playstyle. Never bother detonating tech or annihilation field on her, Warp is the only power you will actively use so you might as well have a strong gun rather than the dreaded carnifex or other light weapon that all your other power based classes use.

**Rulke** · 2012-10-27 13:08

So the Valkrye is a lot of fun but I just cannot seem to tear up the map like I can with a Vanguard or even an Infiltrator. Ive tried a host of different weapons but nothing feels super effective yet. There also seems to always be an annoying delay before I can cast warp to set off explosions from my annihilation field. I dunno.. I'm frustrated. ><

**Brill Weave** · 2012-10-28 11:23

Ended up getting an Eagle upgrade. Not going to complain. I really like that pistol for some reason lol.

**Brill Weave** · 2012-10-30 07:51

So I just started using the Cerberus Harrier. Holy fuck that gun is awesome. Almost no recoil, good damage. Only downside is the clip size. Using it with the Devastator is just unfair. Love that fucking thing.

**Kuya** · 2012-10-30 09:49

Have you tried the harrier with tactical cloak?

**Brill Weave** · 2012-10-30 09:53

I will be now!!

is the real question

**Matthias** · 2012-10-30 14:10

i still don't have a harrier

i use it a lot in single player but haven't gotten to use it in multiplayer

the adas anti-synthetic gun is cool too, hopefully they'll introduce it into multiplayer eventually.

i have to admit i'm kinda tempted to get this:

Only get it if you actually plan on stabbing people with it!
