Need help with my Asari Adept for gold runs.

I'm running

• Throw 4,5,6 all B
  
• Annihilation 4A,5A,6B
  
• Lance just 1 point
  
• Off Biotics 4B,5A,6B
• Barrier 4A,5B,6B
  

And that seems to work for me.

I usually get 20-28k points with a full squad on Asari Adept build.

Throw - Rank 1
Annihilation - 4a, 5a, 6a
Lance - 4a, 5a, 6b
Offensive Biotics - 4a, 5b/5a, 6a (6b is good option for a more melee focused, biotic build)
Barrier - 4b, 5b, 6b (again, 4a would be better on a melee oriented build)

My play-style is a biotic explosion power house with fairly decent survivability due to shield gain on melee, 6a annihilation, and saving barrier.

My usual equipment is a talon with the melee optimizer and the barrel + juggernaut shield
OR
the equalizer with the melee optimizer and [insert option mod] and disruptor/incendiary rounds + juggernaut shield on open maps or against remnants on certain apex missions to set up ammo explosions.

My strategy is to quickly run to spawns, throw lance within my annihilation field, and cause as many biotic explosions as possible. If my shields get stripped and I only have health left, I melee/use throw/or take cover to recover shields and use my weapon in the mean time to restore shields from 6a annihilation or just to get kills from out of range. You can also take advantage of saving barrier at this time to get your shields back if there isn't many mobs left and it is relatively safe to do so. A good combo is a lance bio-splosion and melee(vs lone enemy) or talon shot for faster kills.

I can usually get 3-5 lances off on spawn, killing almost everything but beserkers and the bosses in under 5 seconds. They are usually low enough anyways where I can finish them off with melee, my weapon or another round of lances when my shield regens.

*I watched the video above and noticed some points. I have not experimented with biotic link and lance radius, but they seem to be worth testing.

I run almost the same build as you, only one eve is different. Other than I pick lance over throw, it might just be your play style. When playing Melee Adept, you have to stay aggressive to survive. We can't just click charge and get full shield, we have to punch and kill. Also make use of the jumping melee combos. It's a great way to get shield from meleeing multiple enemies and hard to hit ones. If aimed properly you can one hit un armored and unshielded mooks.

 Spoted your problem right away - mele spec. Dont.
 

Asari Adept is probably one if not the best characters for gold.
Dont burn points in Trow. Go for:

Trow - 1

Maxed annihilation field - Rank 4 - radius, Rank 5 damage, Rank 6 Vortex - this is probably the biggest strength of the asari adept. Any unarmored mook is instantly lifted and taken out of combat for ages and any shielded mook can be easiliy striped of its shields whit a lance and then taken out of combat. Amazing evo.

Lance - rank 4 damage, rank 5 Anti Shield, Rank 6 Knoked - when you need to knock a mook outside of your anihilation field.

Offensive biotics - rank 4 power efficiency, rank 5 Combo detonation, rank 6 Biotic expert


Barrier - rank 4 - unyielding barrier,  5 Biotic link, rank 6 Saving barrier.


Whit this build you are quite hard to take down. And whit the increased shields and the ability to instant restor them once every 10 seconds it will be very hard to die. And best of all its very easy to play her. Just dash to the mob you want to kill - if unarmored and unshielded he will just start floating, if shielded you just need to smack it once whit the Lance to strip the shield ( and maybe few shots from a SMG or something ) and he too will start floating. Only armored targets are unaffected but they are mostly easy to deal whit anyhow.


To top it all whit this build no sneaky dog will ever manage to bite your arse  

 Knockout target that is OUTside your AF. Meaning knocking that Observer that just lost its shields but is shooting you and you cant get him in your AF.

 Melee is weak alternative for the Asari Adept. 

This is my best run with Asari Adept so far.
It is a pity I did not have at least a bronze revive medal as it was really risky to revive people in front of Anointeds with a squishy character.
And the host did not have the smoothest connection.

This is my build

Throw - B, B, B
Annihilation - A, A, B
Lance - 1
Offensive Biotics - B, A, B
Barrier - A, B, B

The reason I choose throw over lance is simply because if you are not going to go for lance 6b, then throw has a much quicker CD than lance.
A rank 6A lance has a CD of 10/(1-0.5+0.1+0.15) = 13.33 sec
A Rank 6B throw has a CD of 10/(1-0.5+0.1+0.25+0.25+0.15) = 8sec

This allows you to create BEs faster to stagger shielded/armored enemies such as the threatful Anointed.

That vid has made me want to start using the Asari Adept.

Had previously been using the Gladiator specced for melee so the AA specced for combos should be enough of a departure from that not to be stale.

Ok, just tried that Wolfian build and... well, its good, but with a few observations

Played like 5-6 matches at lvl 18-19, which means I didn't have Saving Barrier... and it was a challenge for me. It really destroys everything, but you do suffer if you miss with the lance (and well... ofc I did miss alot). Spent quite some first aid packs and revives. I guess I will have to get used to lance properly, to aim a bit better and not to waste it too much. Did manage to get around 20k-ish every time tho. Practice, practice...

After I got to 20 and got Saving Barrier, that improved my gameplay alot I must say. Free shields for lance spam every 10 seconds is very nice. Also, tried to respec to see if +30% combo damage is better then 20% debuff... and honestly, I couldn't tell the difference, I'm not that good player yet to notice such things... so, if anyone has some imput on that one - would be nice to hear

Also, one more thing comes to mind... Talon is great and I like it... but since you spam lance and drain your shields and therefore not depending on cooldowns (well, except for throw, but I guess its not THAT important in this build), I guess you could go with a heavier gun here. The question is, with weapons not balanced properly yet... is there something better then Talon for close quarters?
