Is the Kroguard broken? Not that I'm complaining

Ooookay, I just carried wave 10 of a Hydra/Geth/Gold with some rather mediocre pugs. I was using a level 16 Kroguard (name: Kitchen Corps) and I managed to carry 3/4 devices, kite the toastahs off the last one (near the LZ) and pick off the three remaining Primes and five Pyros/Hunters.

On wave 8 I ended up by myself (full disclosure - okay, I was a Krogan running around the map killing stuff) in the triangular area under the Cheatin' Snipin' Porch and I swears I waded through a freaking army of Pyros, Hunters, and Arrugula Troopers for the better part of a minute, laying about them, blasting with teh Purrana, and blowing up Fire Splosions with Charge until they were all dead. I think I burned one Ops pack in the middle of that to stay upright when three Pyros were hosing me at the same time.

We all died but somehow extracted (I was alive but running toward the LZ and didn't make it). I finished first by just under 80K.

Except I wasn't doing anything that special - I was playing this guy pretty much the way I play the Kroldier; the difference being I had Rage specced to damage protection and was using Cyclonic IV. And of course I was using Barrier. Even then it seemed really easy and I had to remind myself that I, as host, had set the lobby to Gold. And of course on-host Vanguards play their best.

I was using the Piranha X with Inced IV, Shotgun Amp, and Shotgun Damage V. Smart Choke and standard AP mod.

A screencap of the scoreboard will follow once I get around to uploading the photo.

So is this guy OP or is it just me? It seems like he's vastly better than the other kroggens. Or does he just have advantages against Geth? Against Reapers I'm pretty sure a Banshee would have synched me on wave 10.

Update:

_epeen:



I had played a few Silver matches with these pugs and noticed the last guy (shillyshally) joined the lobby with Carrier X and Wraith X and maxed out with high-grade equipment. So I bumped it up to gold, assuming he knew what he was doing.
