I honestly think the Human Adept is God-tier

i found shockwave's damage to be so negligible, i really use it ONLY to detonate. and even then, i'll only throw it out (usually) if i think it'll detonate more than 1 biotic combo (teammate combos included). otherwise, against a single target just continuing to shoot my hurricane kills faster. 

because of that reason, shockwave is really off cooldown EVERY time i need it. and with reach, shockwave's range becomes more in line with hurricane's effective range, making you significantly stronger at medium range engagements (super useful against observer clusters).

yeah armor damage would probably perform better than lifting against outlaw. but at that point you're talking single digit differences in performance against specific factions, and lifting has worked better for me against kett and remnant

Yup, those are the times I miss my Ex-Cerberus Adept with Geth visor gear, or N7 Paladin.

Are you on PC? we should definitely play sometime. I've played with a lot of high apex kineticists, but none have been able to outscore my hadept yet. Granted, they may have all been bad at the kineticist, but i usually regard them highly overall skill-wise

Unfortunately not, or I would and we can rain down biotic death on our enemies together. Trust me, I play with a lot of bad kineticists too. I outscore people of low and high apex regularly with the majority of classes. Really
only met 3 people that can keep pace with me in score on PSN and outscore me in games when I go hard.

Really curious on how you "smash" anyone in a co-op MP game...syyyuuuurly you don't mean in game points  

In the past 2 weeks or so, I've put more hours in the Human Adept than any other class. i prefer to play the kit very aggressively, darting around the map with the hurricane rather than sitting back and trying to "support" the team.

This isn't meant to be a build guide post, so I won't go into super detail about my build, but it's 5/3/6/6/6 

Without any boosters, I think the Human Adept is extremely effective. But with a Power Efficiency booster (i find the level 2 30% to be the sweet spot) and an ammo power (disruptor > all), the kit becomes an absolute monster. pull recharges so quickly, and has such a wide impact radius, you can cast pull on almost EVERY SINGLE red bar enemy you come across. singularity also charges so quickly (i think i have it down to like ~12 seconds) you can reliably use it against every armored enemy. but most of all... shockwave. the reduced combo damage penalty for shockwave detonations is very much warranted, and without it, shockwave would be broken.

And here's a shameless plug for my very first youtube video

Note: Yes i know my aim is terrible. That is why i use a hurricane



Edit: Here's one where I score 44.7k in a game (not common)

hurricane this hurricane that .. Don't you have rozerad ?

why not on every other class also ? (thread hijack hurri vs rozerad)
