N7HQ Challenges questions & poll !

I like this thread. It reminds me of an old Reddit post

I have guilt issues playing grenade based kits and Infiltrators on gold these days, so I just don't play the variety I used to.

I never feel bad playing glorious Fat Sentinel with Tempest.

No shame in playing Hurricane Human Engineer.

Glorious Vorcha Engineer, possibly my favorite kit in the game thanks to the N7 Challenge series - really opened my eyes to this guy's potential.

...

In short, the N7HQ Challenges celebrate cheese, and I have become lactose intolerant

Ok guys,andy_3_913 made me think about it, i m curious to know how u get your biotic masteries, so curious which biotic silver chalenge you did the most and which one u did the less !

i ll start for 40 biotic masteries i have
most done :
warp and charge at 41
throw and reave at 37
least done : seeker swarms 3, orbs 6, barrier and poison strike 7

Though i play both power quite regularly, swarms and orbs, they score shit. I m a bit puzzled/ashamed about poison strike, as i like the double dash cabal a lot, but she kills with melee too much !

i m not counting splosions, cause i m pretty sure we all get it done each times, would be really surprising if not ... ?)

Most used - Warp (105), biotic charge (105), smash (101)
Least used - biotic slash (7), biotic orbs (9), seeker swarm (9)

Most: Singularity, warp, biotic charge, reave 70
Least: Biotic slash 0, Seeker swarm 1, Biotic orbs 2

Impressive.

We are tied on Combat Mastery. I have faced and defeated Cerberus substantially more though.

An interesting tangent to the discussion imo. I like the kit but that's just personal preference. Poison Strike is very iffy off-host, even worse than other Vanguards in my experience. Maybe because of the fixed range on it? You can also use the kit as a weapons platform with that biotic Volus shield boost. Then again, that can be said of most kits, specially the Turians. And is she really a Vanguard? Isn't that class about biotic charge? Otherwise I'll say you can just as well justify the Havoc as a Vanguard. Just my 2 cents.


On topic:
I almost always start out with the Glorious Fat Tsent when venturing out into the wild Puggerlands. A bit lazy/uncreative but at least I'll be in safe hands joining a GiP with the usual suspects. Hence, Warp takes the top spot (25 - paired with inc cheese  ). The Fury/Claymoar combo is just a match made in heaven so she sees plenty of action too. Throw, AF and DC are the other top contenders.

The Asari, the DrellGod, Phoenix Chars, the vanilla Adept? Sure they are in the rotation too. The Fury is just my most used biotic kit.

At the bottom are the low scoring biotic orbs and pull. docsteely has made a sales pitch for the bug kit on several occasions but sorry, I'm just not hooked on that kit. Dark Sphere and Seeker Swarm stays at the bottom too.

Yep, that dude has had that "level up" icon for years and it's gonna stay that way until the servers shut down   

Sure doc, my intention was not to spark a debate about the capabilities af a kit. My point was that I've completed certain challenges more often because there are kits I enjoy more than others and hence use more.

Is it out of necessity I often go with the Tsent? No, it's because he's fat and glorious. Playing a kit I'm comfortable with is just an added bonus if the need arises and I have to carry a wave after the PUGs bleed out. I'm pretty sure I could do that with the AIU/Reegar as well but talk about the most boring combo in ME3MP - you know the drill.

The Collector Adept - to me - is somewhere in between the Tsent and AIU/Reegar. Not as "good", "bad", platinum worthy etc. The range is between fun/enoyable and boring

If the next time they do an MP doesn't have a better store experience so I can spend my monies without destroying my hands, I will behead StarBrat with Omni-Blade and they can take my refusal to the heart.

My Commando Mastery and Outsider Mastery numbers are shameful and I am ashamed. Both less than x10.

My RNG loves the GD Collectors. Easily my least liked faction, but damn do I know them well so at least there is strong familiarity. x50 there, nearest second is Geth at x44.

I will be Incinerating the enemy this afternoon, with liberal headbutts and pimpslaps added. Maybe even a little TA, but with this guy it's more situational than mere humans or Turians. For the Blue Rose of Illium!

Yeah I have no excuse for not playing the Cabal more. But the Collector is one of my most-used kits, my Dark Sphere completions (21x) are only slightly behind my most-completed Biotic challenges (Dark Channel being tied for my most-completed). Seriously love that fucking kit, even with wonky Dark Sphere offhost shenanigans.

This may be heresy, but I'd put him as the 3rd best/most fun Adept, behind only the Drell and the Batarian (sorry my beautiful blue asari ladies, but he's a bug with a magical nuke- hard to top that)

Alright, let's get this over with. I'll be in the Box of Shame if anyone needs me 






To elaborate on the Collector Adept, I don't hate the kit. I think I just miss those vocal responses. You know the Krogan laughter, the "textbook", "my soup" etc. With the competition being so hard among the Adepts and Vanguards, he just falls down my tier.

It's the other way around with the NovaGuard. Again, it can be a very powerful kit - specially if you can exploit Nova cancelling - but I just can't stand all that screaming.
