They both have a weapon stability bonus but the Assault Rifles are so underpowered that it really doesn't matter.

Yeah, I use the Sniper/Assault Rifle combo weapon.

Two more spec packs last night and still no widow for me.

I got some N7 pistol called the scorpion that blows.

Been trying to branch out from my infiltrator/widow setup for variety's sake.
I'm a pretty terrible vanguard.

Yeah, I don't like vanguard myself. I don't like playing with vanguards either.

Id just be happy with a weapon that did a decent amount of damage. Saw a turian soldier using the geth plasma shotgun. He decimated reapers with it. Meanwhile i shoot cereberus with my pitiful m8 avenger and they just laugh at me.

I could use some help on builds and strats if you guys could send some knowledge my way Id appreciate it.

I like to max out 4 powers, leaving one completely empty.
I always carry one weapon, unless I'm using a soldier class. The weight reduction decreases cooldown time.
Also, if you're playing on anything other than Bronze stick with your team mates, and don't try to be a hero
don't be stingy with your equipment. I try to throw an ammo mod or armor mod on every round I play.

I'm still learing something new every day.
Any build or strat in particular?
I just recently learned not to run to the LZ on last last/evac level on Silver or Gold.

good one, on silver or gold, if you try to wait the whole 2 mins out in the Evac zone you're going to get run over 100% of the time.

Yeah, thats good info.
I've trained my Asari Adept twice and left one power blank. I leveled out the others and pick all the weapons and head shot damage options. I picked the stasis bubble option and only carry my sniper rifle. I put my target in stasis and blow it's head off.
Best class for phantoms.IMO

My salarian engineer is pretty epic with drain and incinerate. Geth and reapers just get raped.
I always seem to rack up 50-75 assists from draining shields and barriers, I just can't to much versus armor.

Thanks guys. Got into my first sliver last night. Youre right about that extraction. Cant hold em off theres just too many. Took an adept to 20 he can hold his own if you can get warp and singularity to detonate. Other than that I get holes punched in me. Do you guys max out the training powers as well?
Posted on 3/29/12 at 2:21 pm to hypnos
You can hold off an extraction wave if you time the COBRA launchers. When two Banshees + Brute rush at you it helps to use a missile launcher to even the odds. Unfortunately most randoms waste them in wave 5 or some shite.

If you promote a level 20 soldier do u get a level one soldier in his place to play with again? I don't want to close out a class.
After level 20 can u still increase ur powers or will you always be short of maximizing everything?
I'm to the point where most silvers will end in extraction. Still can't get past wave 5 on gold. Too many cowboys on my squads and too many tough enemies.
I do a lot of backward running and gunning with banshees.

If you guys ever want to play you can send me an invite. Gt Hypn0srex. Ive got a taste for silver now and wouldnt mind working in a coordinated effort.

Anyone going to be on around 12? I'm looking shutting this place down and getting home quick tonight.
Posted on 3/29/12 at 10:37 pm to Tennessee Jed
Does anyone know how promoting works? Specifically If I promote my adept do i start over at level 1 with every character in that class or just that Adept Character?
How fast does your readiness rating bleed off? Last night I was at 100 percent. Today when I fired it up I was at 98 percent. How long does it take to go back to 50?

I haven't promoted any yet (waiting until operation Raptor), but I'm pretty sure all your characters will be reset in that class.
My rating seems to bleed off about 3% every 24 hours. So, it looks like you would be back at about 50%, if you didn't play for a couple weeks.
