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

Damn I swear it was the Adept, oh well, Spitfire VolDept is more for laughs than anything, however I do like the Claymore as well



That's how I play her, though I skip Poison Strike. Hit and run through walls and other objects, she doesn't care. Here's my standard Plat build for her. I skip Poison Strike because it's a shitty version of Charge with none of the benefits of Charge (I think it still detonates BEs). Night Shade Blades, however, are the shit. They're just like Ballistic Blades, but their damage is proportional to how far away the target is. That doesn't matter though because you're using them for staggering things. NSB>Raider to face>dash back>Blades explode causing more stagger enabling you to shoot things in the face some more, she is cracked out with an AMIII and movement speed bonus in Biotic Focus. Blades are a great anti-Phantom power, and they even do some DOT. As far as Biotic Focus you can't really go wrong. I take movement speed (4B), I prefer to have more mobility than a little DR or shields, and duration (nice for those long pizza deliveries on lolconsole) and always take 6A unless you're running a max melee build.

The Cabal even bugs out if you take the Javelin with Biotic Focus enemies become highlighted even out of scope, so that's a cool little thing to try at least once.

Like I said above they're great for staggering most enemies (even Phantoms if you spec right) and are best at close range and you can double dip the staggering when you take the explosive blades evo. When you fire them they cover a "conic area" (I'd reckon it may be more of a 2d triangle rather than a 3d cone) centered on your character with the hypotenuse is perpendicular to your line of sight and the angle at the tip of the triangle is 90^o so that's the spread of the blades. You can increase the angle up to 110^o with 4B so you cover an even larger area. It doesn't say what the max targets are for BB, but NSB are 3. Damage and distance are inversely proportional; the farther the target the less damage BB/NSB do (says nothing about whether or not force is reduced).

I really like the Raider on the BatSol and Cabal because the BB/NSB>Shoot>Blades Explode>Shoot has a really nice rhythm to it. I can try to get a gif or short vid of me using it the next time I play if my explanation is all over the place and confusing



Powers and Their Hidden Attributes thread

Here's a link to a right isosceles triangle

Heh, my bad I should've included pictures! Your character is point C and the hypotenuse is the line AB. The spread of BB/NSB is anywhere within that triangle, we just don't know what distance the range reaches out to. I was wrong (based on what Kalence says the cone radius is 12m) and it is actually a cone, buuuut Bioware just doesn't give us any distance so it's tough to get any real measure of the actual distance they will hit.

@alfonsdode the links should work now. I'm not sure what happened there


I got two games in last night, one as host with BatSol on gold vs Geth. I prefer anything other than Geth since you get "holy shit I'm on fire" reactions from mooks. This was the build I used and you can see it's still really OP for gold. Here are someall the clips showing off BB and the Raider (pardon the scrubbiness this was my first game in two weeks). If I could've just recorded/uploaded the whole match that would've been more efficient

Crowd Control:

Attack a spawn:

Pyro stagger:

Fuck yo' spawn again:

Revive plus more spawn shenanigans
Running in for the revive

i know that taking damage taken on AF kinda makes more sense. but keep speccing myself into speed instead. lol. am3+af zoomies ftw. oh and she's awesome   all them blueberries are

Weapon weight doesn't matter for any infiltrator since cloak cooldown is based off time in cloak. If you break cloak right away it's cooldown is 3 seconds no matter what your weapon weight is. Also Crusader Huntress is love

So with all the spicy builds talk in some other threads, which i'm still catching up on, and me recently dusting off my Explo-Exe-Vorcha-Engie ima kinda after your melee Vorchas builds... Kinda dawned on me that i got some hybrids at best and none of them pure slashing and dashing machines. Extra conditions, no Venom pls  and bonus coolness points for some lore alignment thrown in.

 Yeah I've only ever done full-melee vorcha as a novelty for a game or two, but I usually take the melee evos on Bloodlust anyways so they're always sort of a melee-hybrid just by default. And for the Engie specifically I always use AM III and then almost always the Raider, so you get plenty of meleeing in while you're at close range anyways. And once you have a couple BL stacks with AM III he's fast as hell. Sort of an under-powered kit, but one of my favorites nonetheless.

really a good setup for me too, though i cheese with him

I probably like Sub-net a lot more than I really should, especially playing off host as much as I do. Here's my Hunter for gold and I will use the Graal or GPS from time to time as well. I'd take the Talon or Executioner for plat. I think I played him melee a few times just for the hell of it and spec'd like so.

Sub Net is like Lash: its not really an absolutely necessary or optimal power, but its really fun and so I almost always take it. Hitting Phantoms with Sub Net mid-flip never gets old.
