Hm... a quick poke around the forums gives me this:

Spinotech wrote...

Easiest Reaper solo silver ever. 6/6/6/4/4 + Piranha + Acolyte.

Tech Armor: damage reduction + power damage + power recharge
Annhilation Field: radius + movement speed + shield drain
Warp: detonations + lasting damage (may respec for expose) + pierce
Passive: capacity/power damage
Fitness: health & shields

Saying he soloed on silver doesn't mean much.

Welp, I am officially moving to Gold matches. At least with my Kroguard, I think I'll have to do some more levelling before I try it with others. I've also maxed out mah uncommon weapons, yay!

What the fuck happened? The balance update didn't really do much, but suddenly gold is piss easy. KroSent, SalInf, SalEng, and FQE.

Slayer is ridiculously good.
I unlocked the Valkyrie and took her on a few test spins. She's ridiculously good against bosses, but she's very limited against big maps or Geth.
Breached 2000 challenge points a few days ago. Still only have 3 banners (biotic powers, tech powers, and Halloween challenge)

Check my spreadsheet again, the one I posted a few days back. Just look at how lucky I've been recently on that.

Nice. I only have a Reegar I and it's still insanely powerful.

I'm doing well with Slayer and Justicar, once I level them up to 20 they should be gold-worthy. I really hate PUGs though, today I got a game with two other players that died on wave 1, then more people dropped in and kept dying as well. I got 2/4 objectives done on wave 3 before I fell and decided to cut my losses and leave.

I fucking HATE the Havoc though. No idea why people play that class, it's useless.

N7 FURY IS SO MUCH FUN

HOT DAMN

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL I'M DOING AND IT'S STILL MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING EVER

I played a silver match yesterday, groaned when I saw we drew Collectors, but not for long because THIS THING EATS SCIONS FOR BREAKFAST

I GOT GRABBED BY A PRAETORIAN TWICE AND BOTH TIMES I KILLED IT WITH MY POWERS BEFORE IT COULD STAB ME

WHILE IN THE AIR

I'M JUST SCREWING AROUND AND ENEMIES FALL LIKE PAPER

Hm. Never gave the Acolyte much of a go, but you're right. Geth is doable now!

The Acolyte is the best pistol in the game. It destroys shields and applies ammo modifiers onto enemies very effectively. Very good for explosion-based builds.

She is surprisingly strong against Collectors. Throw spam takes out abominations and swarms, Acolyte destroys any barriers that show up, and dark channel is like the anti-scion. Which is pretty sweet seeing as how Collectors destroy pretty much every other class. Only problem is objective waves, particularly area defence. This class just cannot hold the line.

But yeah, Gold's less of a problem now that I'm relearning how to use consumables effectively. WE NEED TO PLAY TOGETHER.

My manifest is starting to look pretty nice.

I'm starting to get to the point where Gold feels like Silver. I'm trying to move up to platinum, and the transition honestly is starting out much better than my initial transition into gold. I'm guessing it's mostly because I have a strong sense on how all the mechanics work (reload canceling, right hand advantage, spawn handling, etc.).

Not quite at the point where I can take a lot of characters there, but that's semantics.

EDIT: I decided to make a post on BSN about some of the crazy poses characters make when they drop. It's right here if anyone's interested.

eheha, that's great

would've loved to see how the hell #6 happened

I'm able to handle gold quite well now, but I think I need to do some research into my builds. Anything other than my Fury or Kroguard is a real challenge. Baddies just aren't dropping fast enough, I'm sure I can squeeze out some more DPS. Right now anything bigger than a brute takes ages to kill, I'm not even going to try platinum. Maybe I just need to max out a rare or two.

If you need builds to try out, I can see about giving you some.

EDIT: Batarian Sentinel

If you don't have the Talon, then idk. It's mainly for shield stripping while being able to maintain a good damage amount against health/armor.

Hm... have to try that out. So Shockwave detonates the net then?

Why would you use a talon if you have the mattock? Mattock kicks ass. EDIT: Oh, anti-shield. Meh, I usually just use disruptor ammo if I'm worried about that.

BTW I finished Leviathan and it is THE BEST DLC EVER. Get it if you haven't.
