[Mass Effect] OLD THREAD LEAVE GO BYE SEE YA

I just don't see a huge need for health on a class that has Energy Drain, at least on Gold. I admit I haven't tried to roll him on Platinum.

The Paladin should have a 'don sunglasses' animation coming out of that.
ftfy
The only thing is that after I promoted them out I never bothered to roll another one, and now the class is at 20 without any characters in it. Has anybody done something similar before? Would deploying a character bump my N7 rank up 20, which I don't want to happen?
I'm almost certain your rank already went up as those characters were gaining in experience. Deploying them shouldn't make a difference. You can still sandbag without worry (so long as no one notices your weapon ranks).
Nah, it didn't. My rank should be 270, but it's 250.
120 Character Levels
+60 Promoted two and leveled up two for first promote event.
180
+70 Promoted three and rerolled two from second promote event
250 (Hanging 20 is from the non rerolled Sentinel class)

wait....
I wonder how many non-completists have one? Because I generally spend my credits on PSPs, I have almost nothing in the way of uncommon guns.
Big fan of the Vindicator for SP.
Do you just really not want any more N7 ranks?
Still not sure how I want to handle those couple of cloak evolutions... but I'll mess around with it. I was considering cloak duration for more mobility if things get nasty. I'm still leveling right now, but man is there a world of difference with defensive shadow strikes versus straight power. So much more survivable, as long as it's played smart.
Also, more fun
I just played a game versus Geth on Dagger, and that map is just a shadow playground
The DoT evolution and the cloaking melee bonus are super key for this; 40% more damage over 5s is huge, and means that most of the mid-level shielded mobs die before they come out of the stagger animation.
I use the berserker equipment on mine cause I haven't gotten the pure melee one yet, but it only adds +6%. Just get the first four ranks of fitness and a weapon with a +25% melee mod.
my unofficial autobio will be accompanied with tips on how to smile
cause I've found that when they don't see you frown, they never know that you're a threat
and they don't sweat you when you came around
it also allows for more anime goofiness
Shadow strike, then move on to the next enemy
have them all die three seconds after the cut
you gotta be overflowing style to justify being the dumb-dumb who brings a sword to a space fight

Yep. And the ability to remain cloaked after you use a power makes it not even matter that they don't die immediately.
I used to vindicate a lot. Then I switched to the mattock, and I haven't really gone back to the vindicator.
I like the mattock too. But damn if it doesn't make my clicking finger tiered. Which I guess is why they made the Harrier, and why it's so good. It's an auto-mattock.
I guess you could get a mouse or mouse software that supports a clicking mod or something. I actually have a friend who wired a little 555 chip up as a multistable vibrator for his mouse click signal with a switch on the side for WoW. This was before they removed the capability for auto-targeting heals mods. He was a flash-heal machine in Molten Core! I took it as an indication of something wrong with the gameplay, I feel the same way about these weapons that, by all rights, SHOULD have a burst or automatic mode.
Origin: Viycktor
Not unless you don't have many options. A Tempest would be more effective and wouldn't scratch your cooldown even without any capacity bonus.
I feel the same way about the Mattock.
The only reason for the Mattock to be semi-automatic would be the real life reason of not panicking and wasting ammo. But we're also not fighting Brutes in real life either.
the most lethal things in ME1 were krogan melee attacks
problem is clicky-clicky, and I only have one at like III anyway (Viper X though! because I needed that!)
then last week i got the harrier and i just want to stick it on everything
is best gun
What's your loadout?
Do you have a mic?
Have you played with any of the players before?
edit: I know one time I joined up into a match on my Slayer and there was another slayer in the lobby and before I could even review the other players stuff, I got kicked.
Seeing as I outgeared everybody (including the other slayer), I asked. Reason: his friend didn't want to play with another slayer.
Something that's easily unnoticeable in ME3's MP given its weak party system is you can never tell if you're the "pub" or not (although everybody is, really). So while it sucks sometimes, it is what it is?
I personally avoid players that do this, although I'm not sure if that is possible on the platform you're playing on.
Yeah its only limitation is ammo, but thanks to the demo class, thats not as much of a problem anymore!
Think of it as them sparing the pain of you having to deal with them.
The best part is when you're the third person and refuse to vote to kick the new person. Then you start getting kick votes as well. Soon EVERYONE has vote kicks and things start to get strange.
But in the end, I'd rather just leave than have people pissy with me for not conforming to whatever idea they have in their head of the "right" setup.
And their loss, whatever. I'm a quite good player and have carried so many games on my shoulders. But they see something, maybe it's my low N7 because I don't give two shits about it, or I'm bringing a slightly underleveled class to gold or something.
meh.
True
but although Krogans' faces may have been the most damaging, the games would seem to indicate that guns are still the most lethal option
I suppose that's because it's a shooting game and not a sword-fighting game, though
It does make me a little disappointed that melee attacks don't bypass shields entirely, that would've been cool
(the exception to this coolness being the lore-adherent phantom sync kills)
Rocket Drones have something to say about this assertion.
alas, poor jenkins!
