Asari Adept - Annialation 6A or 6B?

^^^^ This. Shield is waaaayyyy better than float.

Vortex is way better then shield IMO, why?

Why do u wanna take shield? Cos u wanna stay alive? And how do u stay alive? When u dont get hit. Floating enemies dont hit u!
All enemies that come up behind u, arround corners, or if u burst into a group or bust a shield of an enemy, they will float. As I said a floating enemy wont hit u, so it does keep u alive longer and its safer than the 30% shield restore on enemy kill.


Trust me I tried both extensively. I started with the vortex and did very well on gold. I then switched to shield cos I read about it on the forums, everyone would use it. I played with it and I noticed more deaths than I had with vortex. Enemies became harder to kill cos they dont get CC'ed.
Melee restores enough shield. Yet if u die, u are doing something wrong.

FYI: I play a full melee build. Close up fights. Pistol for more melee dmg.


So maybe if u dont have shield-restore on melee hit, and u are using only weapons, u might wanna take the shield-restore annihilation.

Entertainment matters too, as long as you can live. Watching a doggo trot up to me while I'm doing a device, and then watching it float away while I finish the device giggling to myself, is worth a whole bunch.

I haven't tried either evo yet, I have left that skill at 5 evo's currently.

The way I read 6a, you have to kill an enemy with a biotic power to gain %10 shields. Sounds like crap as base shields are low anyways, and %10 whoptie doo. Not to mention actually killing things with Biotic powers, which seem to do no damage?

And to take that you would have to pass on immediately nullifying all mooks in your area. That sounds way better from a defensive perspective.

Different trees.  The Annihilation tree is 30 percent shields if killed within the field vs make unarmored, unshielded enemies in the field float.

You're thinking of the Fitness final evo, which is between getting shield regen killing with biotic powers or autoregenning shields at low health.  The auto-regen is always the best option, imo.

With the shield recharge evo I can melee anything in gold. If I want something without shield and armor to stagger I use a power and them melee with Offensive biotics 6 evo.

Barrier regen and melee, the "utility" of vortex is fine for shenanigans, but most of the time I need to punch something and nope the fuck out of there because the enemy in question doesn't give any fucks about just having health, and we haven't even hit platinum yet.

With two explosions and me beating the mother fucker out of anything left alive, there isn't anything left. Melee restores 33% of shields, biotic explosions to kill and restore shields just aren't reliable IMO. But everyone has their way.

Trust me I get that triple utility from explosions and the instant state change are super valuable in both that protected enemies are now fucked up and that "harasser" units aka ahdi and wraith are instantly neutered, but a lot of times I'm on my own and just need things dead quick after or during doing an objective, and having a mechanic that allows Saving Barrier to be put off until it's absolutely critical to fire it simply works better long term in the current balance model, particularly with Remnant, where something is gnawing on your shields at every waking moment of the wave.

No need for CC in ME3MP?

I usually go with shields, but vortex would be handy for sure. Gonna try it out.
