Damn, I forgot how this works (Infiltrator question)

Yeah, that's pretty much the way I play him, except for the Claymore. It does sound like it could work. And what do you mean "A", is that "above"? I prefer the shield recharge on Charge in any case.

I can hardly ever play Vanguards though, it's a shame. My connection is too laggy to host, and off-host is terrible with Charge.

6A is Bonus Charge. 6A is top evolution of the 6th rank of a power. 6B is the bottom evolution of a power.

I could see that. I'll play him off host on a solid connection and usually pick my spots against instakill enemies. You can charge anything not primed usually fairly safely though. Banshees that are warping of course you're not going to charge and praetorians can be quick but anything else it doesn't matter as long as you position them properly. Atlases I'll charge when I have RHA close. A single prime who gives a fuck I'll charge them in the open field and dodge their siege pulses with just lateral movement. Phantoms you have to watch out for a cluster of them but a single one isn't a problem.

Masochism exists. Don't hate.

What, you don't read poetry?

The first instance of "Primed Instakill" means an enemy that is ready to deliver a sync (instakill). All sync kill enemies except the banshee are only ready (primed) to sync once they have performed (or performed and cancelled) their basic melee animation.

Banshees can sync at any point duing their teleporting phase. The teleporting phase is accompanied by energy surrounding the banshee, but graphical glitches can make this tricky. If she's standing still throwing warp balls, then the's safe to charge.

The second instance he's referring to geth primes. When two geth primes spawn next to eachother, he recommends not charging until you split them up. 

To be fair, a banshee will throw up a protective bubble when standing still if a power is used against her. This bubble disappears when she does her area of attack. If you want the charge to do damage, you should try to lure her AoE attack by toeing the radius (or wait for a teammate to do it).

Yep. As an engineer I'll use a turret or drone to lure the "Nova" so I can either prime or detonate a primed banshee.

HFE - combat drone, banshee "nova", incinerate, overload.

FQE + ammo power - turret, shot, banshee "nova", incinerate to detonate ammo power. There's enough time to squeeze a cryo blast in too.

Biotics have more options, but have to do some dancing to prime AoE. Of course reave works wonders as a detonator.

Hitscan can be said of certain powers, as well as certain guns.  For example, the Cerberus Harrier is a hitscan weapon.  You point, click, and the damage is calculated instantly, because there is no projectile.

Whereas a gun like the Scorpion, or the Krysae, is a projectile weapon, because it fires a projectile that has a travel time (albiet a fast one).

Incidentally, Piercing doesn't work on the Projectile Weapons.  Like the Adas for example.  Piercing only works on Hitscan Weapons.

It fits firmly in the scrub category.

The Reegar sprays a lot of hit-scan "particles" and with piercing is insanely broken. There is nothing in this game that can do the level of damage it can and that is NOT a good thing. You will never find a BSNer using it as it is shameful to do so.

I imagine it will be fixed in ME:A, and most BSNers will not use it simply out of spite for it's ubiquitous use by pugs in ME3MP.

The mechanic you are talking about is that if she raises her "Hand of denial" you can score double hits if you shoot through hand and head. Although I don't know the exact piercing distance that is needed.

Drell walks faster than half the other characters run, and runs like people can only see his afterimage.

Most of the time it's shoot and throw grenades and shoot for him. Since he's so fast, very few enemies can catch up before he finishes his job and run away. Even if they manage to deplete his shield, he can charge (and again, and again and again again w/ Bonus Power evo), beat them and escape.

Flimsiness is no problem when nothing can hit you.
