Leviathan is alright. I wouldn't say it's better than those two, but I'd say it's worth the $10. More worth the price than Omega (ew $15).

I generally use BatSent as a Shockwave user, using the net for armored units and Phantoms. You could switch out mods for armor damage, but Armor Piercing Rounds are great for that too, and allows for more variety in what you put as your weapon mods. Talon is also better for short range since it functions as a shotgun.

Overlord still has the best story IMO, and Shadow Broker has more in terms of stuff like romance, upgrades, dossiers, etc. But all in all I'd say Leviathan is the best. Good story, missions are fun, and it helps makes sense of the Catalyst.

I don't like the Batarian melee outside of the brawler. The brawler was 100% made for spamming that melee.

I don't like melee builds on basically anything. It makes no sense to me how people can go into a pure CQC-based style while speccing out of most of the health/shields upgrades.

I'm trying to find a way to stream this game consistently without constant lag. It's difficult.

Hm.

Ok, for the BatSen, should I take the shockwave detonation path? Will it increase the power of the net/wave combo, or is it just biotic combos?

I did this build in a regular platinum game the first time I played that class. It's beyond ridiculous how easy it is.

at least I know it's not unrealistic of me to try and get all the challenges someday.

lately though I've just been playing silvers, it's a lot easier, more fun, and I can buy spectre packs at a fairly good rate.

MQI is absurd. I tried him out for the first time in Silver and completely stomped everything.

Not really sure what I was expecting. It was on Rio (#1 grenade map) and I already knew from using MQE that he was going to be ridiculous.

So apparently the game REALLY wants me to use the collector sniper rifle, mine went from 0 to 3 in a few packs...

I've been getting a lot of rare weapons up to level 7 or 8 lately.

Also, only two characters left to unlock. Then it's just a matter of maxing everything out.

So, I get back from deployment, and ME3 had some DLC released. And even a new game was released.. albeit just the trilogy in a single collection.

And I don't have my 360 anymore to try them.

trilogy collection sucks

like

it doesn't have any DLC for 2 or 3

none of it

only for money DLC it has is pinnacle station, and that sucks

it's way cheaper to buy them all separately
