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

Thanks man. I think DC does (Edit:no it doesn't, thanks Fox), but had recently convinced myself that Reave doesn't, though it seems it may have been other players causing the invulnerabilty bubble. I stand corrected. But yeah, you're still the weirdo - every time a Justicar goes into battle without Pull a kitten dies somewhere. 

And Sonashii , what can I say? Thanks for pointing out my stupidity publicly.   I had to check my actual build and it seems I have 5 ranks in Health, so scrub status confirmed. I'll amend the build link accordingly. I did actually list the Venom at the top of the tree in the other thread though, so at least we understand each other. 

This is the build I'm currently using, but I'm leaning towards respec... like this. Reasoning being, the last rank on passives is a waste, since you won't be using lolcoyte for killing anyway and I think survivability shouldn't be too negatively impacted by dropping one rank of fitness.

Any thoughts?

Bearing in mind that I've already made schoolboy mathematical errors in this thread, your proposal for a respec would be the living embodiment of what I described to @fmulder as the 'nailed it/her' build. Personally I prefer the faster shield recharge and don't really see the need for maxed Pull, but we're splitting hairs over personal preference.

But with your Acolyte the number of Pullable mooks rises significantly, and the extra radius means Pulling two-for-the-price-of-one on a fairly regular basis.

That said, I hear you loud and clear on the extra health - I'm simply hoping to demonstrate the potential usefulness of 4 ranks with this approach.

I'm pretty sure that 66653 is the same as my Justicar build, but I'd have to look (I haven't changed it in over 3 years, I don't think.)

I can't remember if I pick recharge or DR in rank 5 of Reave, and I'm not sure which Rank 6 I picked, but I'm confident that whatever I picked works.

You are. But then again, I don't consider that a bad thing.

After all, aren't we all just a little mad in today's crazy world?

Yeah   

Well rounded build


Putting 6 points in Pull is a waste on higher difficulties. And factions like Rippaz or Collecturds have very few units to pull. 

Although:

I thought that was a given in this place, which I think of as a local forum for local people when you're around, so who's mad? 

As for your build it's actually incredibly sensible, all things considered. Her BEs aren't affected at all by the Passive boosts and the Acolyte isn't much of a damage dealer, so they could be viewed as wasted points apart from the faster cooldowns.  My rationale for wanting 5 ranks stems from the knowledge that if I really, totally and absolutely have to clutch a particularly tough wave, the boosts to Reave on its own are often more useful than the slightly bigger BEs which are harder to create if you're playing defensively by necessity.

Voluptuous Volus - Geth Scanner and Adrenaline III? Some decorum please, that's just dirty. Not that there's anything wrong with playing a dirty Asari every now and again (Valkyrie/Raider anyone?), but that's my Matriarch you're talking about there. 

Since I almost always carry a light(ish) weapon on the Jussticar - recharge speed is not a problem and I actually don't want it be too fast. I want to Reave and get some shots off while Reave is on cooldown. 

No worries bud, never thought you were that was a tongue-in-cheek comment on my part. you know, just my usual self, with both feet in my mouth trying to claim the incoherent and illiterate piles of words for an accurate expression of my thoughts and sometimes humour heheheh and thanks for reviving a good thread, nice to see it back
i loved the little plinker ever since ME2  yes there is the Hurdurr, and CSMG the Locust is though the one completin my personal SMG top three. And to anyone smirking at it i'd recommend doing the Plague challenge for a new perspective
Well, Grunt, once again gotta give it to you, your knowledge and yout logic got you through to a right conclusion - this is not really a team-focused build  Quite a normal story for me, for my builds i have to account for the cases where the majority of my games are either started alone with a good chance of noone joining due to my geo/timezone location, or are deliberate solo attempts.

You've covered most of the points and followed my thinking pretty spot on. My Reave is indeed DR/stacking focused. That's so in part to compensate for the lowered fitness and in part as an acceptable trade-off for maxing out the powers. Strangely enough I don't have much of an issue dealing with the armour, but like i said i'm mostly Gold based. On the occasions where i do get dragged into a Platinum match i may swap Cryo for some piercing to compensate. I found the weird synergy between Talon + Reave combo seems where it seems to be doing just fine. That smaller bubble is quite simple. When you're all by yourself there ain't much advantage to have it full extent whilst the shield recharge can in fact offer some limited advantage for the things like devices or in case of a tactical retreat/repositioning. The only caveat i found is have to be a bit more careful with the offensive bubble detonating primed Brutes (spiky) and Scions (bashy)
Weapon's rarity is a good point
Reave, Reave is the right answer when dealing with the space crabs. And yes it does procs through the bubble (i see Loufi and others already ninja-ed me). DC procs only when jumping target, it wont' proc if cast direct

Them are my sworn enemies. Them deserve every single missile right in their little, bulgy, peeking eye thingie, each and every one of them. Here's my PoV of that moment



EDIT: Some words here and there

i hardly think this constitutes stashing anmore... if anything the current status of my cryo stocks is making me depressed  i now have to save those IVs for the special occasions. Quite an interesting Valkyrie build, i take it the hurddur is there for our friendly neighbourhood ravagers and scions?
