Last night on PC I was playing a vorcha pyro with the eagle and power magnifier. I have to say, it's a lot of fun burning all of the things.

Talk about an easy kit to build and play.....

I don't mind Vorcha, but I am just not fast enough to kill stuff compared to other people, so I don't get the advantages of the Bloodlust unless I try to solo with it (where it is fun). But i don't want to solo, because I want to hoard medigels and packs. I need something even easier tbh, hence my preference for the Vanguards and Soldiers. Which is probably what I am going to start playing once I am done leveling my Infiltrator. Whom I will have to demote, unfortunately, since I am not cooping with the 6/6/6/6/0 build well enough to play Silver on.

If you build that vorcha right they wreck shop - maybe not as fast as a well played soldier, vanguard or infiltrator - but they are fun.

I play GI a lot because they are amazing fun and kill all of the things. I would not recommend 6/6/6/6/0 unless you are willing to spend consumables.

I do like the Asari Infiltrator because it's a DoT class + cloack helps me not to face plant into spawns when trying to get to the objectives, but I should have went 6/6/6/4/4 to make her a bit sturdier. Before anything else, I don't like dying.

I dunno, some days I play Silver and feel fine there, some days I do so badly, I am afraid to go back up from Bronze to Silver again.

If you must put fitness into the Huntress, go 6/6/6/5/3, as you don't want to give up any of that power damage. Unless of course you're doing a melee huntress, in which case knock yourself out. The power build is one of the best "coward" kits, as it lets you do incredible amounts of damage even at distance (as such, I run her 6/6/6/6/0). Asari dodge and cloak are good enough panic buttons to correct for when you get flanked.

heh, if I wanted a melee Asari, I'd play Valkyre. The trouble with the 5/3 in the ranged builds is that the point 3 is wasted on melee, so essentially you end up with the 6/6/6/5/2 build, and it's only the 4th point in that tree that gives you MOAR health/shield. I still have two levels to scream in terror whenever anything clips me with my attempt at the 6/6/6/6/0 but it bodes ill for dental health. Yesterday I tripped over my own team-mate when running for cover, and died because of that one stumble (and s/he did not even res me, the nerves!). Any mishap, like jumping over the cover instead of dropping into cover (yes, yes, I love you too, spacebar) is also an almost certain death. I am trying to concentrate my entire midi-chlorine count on indoctrinating the BioWARe to use double AWSD tap for directional rolls and bar specifically for taking cover.

And, heh, if you are a scrub, I am Princess of the Pink Marshmallow Hinterlands.

There is a practical reasons to play Bronze: two games gives you your 33K w/o using up any consumables, so you get fast positive balance of supplies. In a silver game, I go through medigels and ops packs almost as fast as I can purchase them with the proceeds, and it leaves next to no creds to save up for the Arsenal Pack. So, 2 bronze games to get enough equipment to go do Silver game to build up creds for the 99K pack. Desperate times....
