Thanks, N7. 10ws survived was an issue with n72 (those prime drones stagger you also behind walls/pillars if you're not in the perfect position), i had some retries, and i've also decided to respec Tactical Cloak for increase duration for survivability. With Volus you have a smaller hitbox, so you can take cover behind many objects, cloak, stasis, the bubble and shield boost with the DR evo. Well, you have to run a lot in order to avoid some bad situations with banshees/ravagers. N7.2 felt much more easier to me compared to the javelin GI/geth combo. Black widow is pure destruction on sniper infiltrators and more suited for solo i find All my deaths as in most cases were trying to do the stupid 5 grabs . enemies just don't like me and go around always.... I'm good in general with all volus characters. Ariake takes just to long for me to be consistent and not overreact in a moment. Only technique i'm not familiar and you use ofter as a volus veteran is the bubble!!! could you briefly describe how much damage reduction/repeling force on enemies hit/anything else worth mentioning it offers?! As Alfo has already said it offers a short invulnerability and some DR. Unless you don't use it to troll enemies in normal games, the bubble can be useful if you're in a complicated situation and can't shield boost due to cooldown, so it can buy you some time. Another useful thing it's the cloak. Cast cloak out of enemy LoS and you can walk near them without taking many risks. The cloak duration is short and cooldown lasts some secs (but there are also 2 cloaks that don't share the cooldown: the one that you cast while running and the one while walking/standing still), but it can be useful. PS: don't listen to the ones that say Volus kits suck. They are people with tiny balls envious of Volus bigger loadout I will tell you everything which you need to know about all volus characters-never use these useless balls On a more serious note,how the heck GI/Javelin(in fact no matter which weapon) could be harder than HI/BW? NS,pls. I don't reload cancel, remember? anything omnibutton/power can offer me What? Why? I personally reload cancel with left Alt (assigned to medi gel); if you don't reload cancel you can still reload hide with the Jav GI. TC, Jav shot, throw immediately prox mine and the Jav will be reloaded. i have been searching for dalakaar's thread on voluses, IIRC, it was pretty well put and comprehensive, but cant find it Failed a bunches of tries on ariake today... that thing is a nightmare for me, i did it on my second or third attempt the first time, but cant pull it again. Condor crap kills me at some point if it s not marauder+brute+ravager. I m not even fast I don't know about that thread but ToLazy4Name's guide is excellent, imo. Some good things written there, unfortunately there are some pug things like these :

Edit 2 - I've been through the ME3 MP subs looking for threads started by Dalakaar and no dice. There were a few fun ones but no builds. Honestly the search function on ProBoards drives me batty sometimes. Do you know if it was it posted here or on the old BSN? Thanks ! Dont bother, i m not even sure it was dalakaar, but pretty sure, as for the forum, it seems it was on the old one if u didnt find it on the MP forum Finally found the search form ! but it took a while as i was using the search box at the page top right, and search options there suck a bit

Tales from the Trenches Week 6:The Citadel CoupII. Snap Inspection 24:44 - Sonashii [v] | frank_is_crank [v]Week 7:DreadnoughtI. They Won't Know What Hit Them 23:58 - Sonashii [v] | frank_is_crank [v]For Snap Inspection we tried to do some nerdy missile-to-break-sync-kill-stuff. Which backfired in the first attempt when Sonashii got synced in a pretty crowded spawn by a Brute. The slam dunk is just too fast to missile off host. That aside it was a fun challenge (for me at least). The second one was rather uneventful. Geth playing with decoy, Geth playing with the drone, Geth playing with the turret, sabotaged Geth playing with each other, Geth getting a Saber bullet through the flash light.
Of course we did the next one as well, but Sonashii wants to redo it I played like a derp and nearly fücked up W10 Devices. Sonashii had to finish W10 and W11 alone because I got crab grabbed.
Of course my 2nd vid is still uploading and processing.

Hugging Banshees led to 4 failed attempts (2 times the Warlord got synced and 2 times the TGI)... Wave 10 Targets without Rockets for a Target switch in most of the attempts didn't help matters... Hamletic's Tales from the TrenchesWeek 6: The Citadel CoupII. Snap Inspection (Hardcore) 29:56 - fraggle | BalbockEscort / Devices / Escort It was fraggle's 2nd turn with the Warlord for this attempt. And since she went from "Uha! Stay away beast!" to "Hehe! Come a bit closer! Fine... I come to you!" rather quickly in the first attempt, the Reapers were in for a bad time. Ok they were in for a bad time in every attempt, because only the bleedout condition made them fail, but this time the Rocket hit in time and stopped the sync. We didn't plan for it but in wave 9 got into a situation where a sync was very likely to happen so we were prepared. And then the Banshee picked up Giggles, the Rocket cleared her and our exit for this difficult situation. Also speed up the wave a tiny bit. The 2nd Device in Wave 6 was in a mean position and I got staggered, while in cloak, about 3 times by Brutes, despite Fraggle trying to lure them away, while the Ravagers' bombardment made that rather difficult for her. Then she gave it a go and I just stood in the open and survived on all the Stimpacks. That finally worked. Also the Wave 10 Escort could have been a lot smoother, if we didn't have to kite away a full spawn from the Drone's path. But from the cleanup on it was quite smooth sailing and we led the Reapers on a (futile) merry chase around Condor until we casually boarded the Shuttle.

Hamletic's Tales from the Trenches
Week 9: LeviathanI. The Lost Are Still Fighting 43:36 - fraggle | BalbockEscort / Targets / Targets The lost are still fighting... and they did it with teamwork! This challenge was great in that we needed to work together closely to stay alive, even though this sounded a little easier on paper We did this challenge 3 times, because you know, the third's a charm and not because I accidentally(?) ragegel'd in W3 in the second attempt And in the first round we both needed to adjust a little... I was playing with 60FPS as the host for the first time since I got a new laptop which is now set up completey, so we tested it out today But Balbock having to use already 3 gels in the first 2 waves and me burning through the ops packs rather quickly led to some hiccups with him having to clutch 2 waves and also some fuck it rocket incidents From then on all rules were off the table and I used up all my medigel and rockets too So in the third attempt, the Vorcha rose again! Baibai the hero with the Medigel and me trying my best to stay alive, which went... okayish. Still there were some really close calls, especially close crabs... but with some nice rescues from both of us we kept ourselves on our feet and finally into the EZ, both planning to stay alive for the last few seconds on ops packs Sadly Bai was staggered and went down within the last 3 seconds... Lone Survivor. But we did it Also, not sure if needed, but here's a screen shortly before extraction to prove I didn't use my gel this time

Welp, I completed 5.3 (Nyreen with a Carnifex vs Cerberus on Jade) after more attempts than I care to admit... I am going to take a breather, and upload a few screenshots and videos. Specifically, screens for 1.1-1.3 and videos for 5.1-53. My four Gold Medals? Melee, Pistol, Total Kills, Headshots. 45mins and something. I never really could get too many grabs on this map, or killstreaks. I didn't have the patience to do 10WS, so I went the slightly harder route of melee. It was fun The N6 level will be fun, and terrible. I think everyone knows what I mean .. I have heard the groans of our company

I edited my post so people would know what 5.3 means, sorry First attempt at 6.1 (Garrus Widow vs Reapers at Vancouver) - eight waves survived, total breakdown on 9 after a silly death on 8 broke my stride. I was too tired, should have gone to bed but wanted glory. I was excited at the prospect of 10WS. Pizza on wave 6 didn't help things, makes my left thumb sore. Old fart issues. The Widow... So OP I have been using Drill/AP. Pfeff used Fire Ammo, which has some appeal for CC with Proxi Mine, but it is so situational. Disruptor/Phasic makes OHK on Marauders a thing, and helps with Banshees; probably a better go.

Disruptor FTW! Yes,Doc,but only for plat.For gold there is only 1 right choice and it's incendiary ammo IMO. Interesting. Having done several fails now (5WS lost on Wave 5 too mamy times lol), this is what I have "learned" about ammo. Drill/AP - best choice for everything except Marauders and Banshees. Unfortunately, it sucks against Banshees. Diruptor/Phasic - good choice all the way around, no help against big armor but the Widow handles that. Good choice. Incendiary - see above. DoT gives "CC" on Banshees, allowing time to breathe. So, I agree with you muahmuah; this jives with recent experience. The funny thing is, I have more better attempts with Drill or Disruptor than Incendiary. RNG bruh. Btw, Ravagers man... Edit: well, done and done. 5WS, died, 3WS, one gel used. Technically, I did survive for 10 waves, just not in a row Videos are uploading now for 5.1 -- 6.1. Will try 6.2 shortly after; I have been looking forward to it for a while now
