What's the most recent build/set up that you've discovered?

What I mean by radius being broken on pc was that the skill evolution just does nothing. The radius stays base and nothing about the skill changes when you use it

My understanding is the skill works fine; it's just that when you pick radius something weird happens to shockwaves cone and it gets out of phase (with each use the cone angle changes) in a sense and doesn't hit anything. Eventually it will come back in to phase and start hitting again, but may not happen within the match. The more you use it, the quicker out of phase it becomes. All that can be avoided by specing for damage instead.

Say whaaaaat? I had no idea that they don't even have to hit you to sync kill you. A friend of mine said they can ONLY sync kill if they land their melee on you. Its never come up except for Platinum. The Phantom that got me last night missed and I had no idea where she was. Maybe she was invisible to me. I guess I should have just dodged regardless but I thought I was fine since she missed.Good to know that. I had no idea that was how it worked. Thanks a lot.

As for the Shadow, from what I've tried, I really like the Carnifex with AP rounds heavy barrell and melee stunner. I will try the Talon as well.

Yup, I have both for her. I just like all her powers, but most of the points go into Shadow Strike. I did know that you can cancel electric slash and it doesn't trigger a cool down. I detonate her own tech bursts this way after a shadow strike. Also, I know this is totally unnecessary, but one of my favorite things to do in the game is when I see a possessed abomination, I do electric slash to down the barrier and than instantly heavy melee. It just looks so cool is all. Though I die once in a while against abominations because of annoying trigger happy randoms who need to kill everything and don't know the Shadow's heavy melee will kill them without detonating them. 

I tried the Talon. it is very good for her. But I like the range on the Carnifex and Paladin myself. I don't know if I can give up heavy barrel for power magnifier. I feel like I need heavy barrel against bosses. I use power magnifier as a mod instead for her so I don't have to sacrifice the heavy barrel. Not sure if that's the best move, but its my current setup for her. 

Worse still is that they do not need to complete the priming animation either. They can be staggered or have the initial melee hit interrupted and would still be considered primed for sync.

Happens to my melee kits from time to time. I'll see maybe a few frames of a Phantom's priming swing, which will be cancelled by a weapon shot. If I miss the followup melee, then I can be pretty sure a sync will follow. You can kinda notice when this happens as an almost imperceptible hesitation or stutter-step in Phantoms. It can technically occur with any sync-killing unit too.

I'm so dumb, I don't know why I didn't think to take an SMG for her for extra DPS. I guess I like to stick to one weapon for certain builds. But I will try the Hurricane with her along with the Carnifex/Paladin. I've seen the work the Blood Pack Punisher can put it. Maybe I should retry that gun again.

The Wraith is my go-to gun for her as it's pretty hard-hitting, it's light and speccing the Omni-Blade and the High-Velocity barel doesn't attract any weight penalty (as its a non-DLC weapon).

Batarian Soldier>any soldier class

This is how it works 

Was running a Human Adept(6/6/6/4/4) with a Talon in gold last night. Extracted in all of my games besides one where I had the misfortune of some awful teammates.
Solo’d 3 different rounds when they died and then the 4th guy left. Ended up wiping after the objective on wave 10 because I got grabbed by a Banshee and they couldn’t kill one without a rocket.

Yup, have had something similar like that happen to me. I was not amused. Phantoms can be such nonsense sometimes. I know I've mentioned this before, but seeing the Phantom sync kill enemies that are 5 times larger than her (Krogans, Batarian, Destroyer) just looks really stupid. 

It's not just the armour Carnage helps with, as a Detonator, explosion damage is based on the rank of the two powers (Inferno Grenade and Carnage) involved, so a rank 6 Carnage not only does >2k armour damage, it also improves your Fire Explosions. It's also a great stagger power for mooks, also doing not-insignificant damage to them (and if you have team-members with Detonators, Carnage has a very small priming window). It's my favourite power in the game.

As to that build, a Grenade, a Carnage, and a Claymore shot, in ANY order will instantly drop a Brute, probably also an unpossessed Scion. Claymore+Carnage will kill a Brute via DoT, but it's also not many ticks at all as neither have a particularly long DoT duration. A Grenade or two lobbed into a spawn will often kill every non-shielded/barriered boss in it. Even shielded mooks will die to the DoT, and unpossessed Scion or Brute or Ravager is also dead.

Arguably, Phasic rounds would work better, covering his weakness (Shields/Barriers), but I have a thing for Incendiary Ammo on a Claymore, and also on such a fire-centric character, it's suitable for his gun to also set people on fire.
