>Adept
there's your problem

well if you didn't suck and waste all your medi-gel

>>48647298

This

Don't try insanity as Adept. Adept has no chance on insanity.

I hate that cunt.

Casually strolling over to where I am to get exposed shots at me.
With surprising effectiveness.

ASSUMING CONTROL

Tried adept once,after omega missions -> delete carreer -> new game -> soldier
what a change

Finally, a Bioware game where magic sucks ass.

yeah I'm surprised how weak adept is compared to the first game

you'd be stupid NOT to use an adept on insanity in ME1

what should you use in ME2?

>>48647298

Actually, I love the challenge.

Every Infiltrater and Soldier, sniping from cover is a pussy.

>>48647532

SOLDIER

>>48647532
Soldier or Vanguard.

>>48647532

Sentinel or Infiltrator do play through without raegquitting.

Soldier is close to raegquit near the end and on the Reaper when you are getting the IFF.

>>48647496
So after ragequiting because they nerfed adapt, you immediately go to the scrub option?

REAL MEN PLAY VANGUARD AND USE 10 SHOTGUN ROUNDS TO KILL ONE FOOTSOLDIER

>>48647370
I'm sure glad Bioware took the time to carefully test all the classes on Insanity, you know, to see if it was actually doable.

Oh wait

I KNOW THIS HURTS YOU.

>Slow explosion ball that knocks me out of cover, Fireball to the face, instantly gunned down by the 8 other collectors with assault rifles a Scion and and an Abomination rounds the corner and explodes on me.

MOTHERFUCK, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING SHITTING ME

I rolled Engineer for my first playthrough. I'm actually quite satisfied with dropping my Attack Drone behind enemies to flush them out.

Also, took Legion with me on Tali's loyalty mission was pretty funny.

>>48647711
No. I'd say he was not shitting you bro.

>Been playing soldier since ME1
>Didn't knew adrenline rush changed into bullet time in ME2
>Never used it

Sentinel with tech armor and reave. Forget the other skills except the class one. There you go.

>>48647711
So many times.

>>48647711

lololitroll u Shepard

Can someone explain what the difference is between Armor, Shields, and Barriers? Does one absorb more damage from bullets than the other? Does one deflect biotics better? Other than being three different "health" bars, WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY DO?

It doesn't really matter what class you pick, on insanity, your ass will ragequit during the IFF mission. No exceptions.

real men troll Sentinel and WADE INTO BATTLE LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER

>>48647776
Oh you just got burned.

>adept

from what i understand, everyone loved the idea of this, played it a little, and found it just sucked ass.

Playing Vanguard at the minute. Basic strategy is get Miranda to spam warp and Garrus to spam Overload while I hide in a corner spamming my SMG. When they're weak I charge in and Claymore shotgun them.

I haven't got Mordin yet since i'm only ~2 hours in but I think the squad needed to do this properly will be Miranda or Samara for Biotics and Legion and Tali for Tech.

>>48647906

Armour, Shields and Barriers are functionally the same, except each has its own Achilles' Heel.

Armour is weak against Incendiary ammo
Shields are weak against Disruptor ammo
Barriers are weak against Warp ammo

>>48647711

Yeah, the staggering animation is annoying.

That isn't really that hard, anyway.

By the way, I'm going to finish Insanity as an Adept just to troll the collectors.

I laugh at all those who ragequit.

>>48648022
Adept is probably the best class, just not for insanity.
Sentinel with Warp Ammo and Tech Armor = E Z mode on Insanity, but on anything less it's snore.

>>48648221

Speaking of which, does Shepard always have to fucking stand up from cover when he's using Unity? I've died so many times because of that shit

>>48648297
holy shit its a giant turd with a ak47

>>48648368

Erhm... No, he has never done that here.

I only die against those motherfucking flying blue things that recharge their barriers every other second. DIRECT CONTROL is a joke once you focus you're entire team's firepower on him.

I haven't tried Insanity. I played Adept on Normal and found it pretty effective. Firing singularities around cover is fuckawesome.

Also, Heavy Warp.

I AM ENGINEER

YOU ARE ALL BABIES

>>48647532

Vanguard
>Charge a Colossus

I heard tungsten was better than warp

>>48648368
Uh, what? Never done that, ever.

On a side note, did anyone else find out that you can wallshoot? Stand right up against standing cover without going into the cover animation, right click to aim and he'll shoot right through the fucking boxes. Shit was handy in a few spots.

Anyone finished Insanity as a vanguard yet? I know it's not impossible or anything

I always play engineer in every game that offers it

>>48648848

>Normal

Get out, just... get out.

>>48647809
To be honest I don't really find adrenaline rush that worthwhile. I've played the game through an embarassing number of times already and I'd much rather have access to all the ammo types and a specialty power that helps with shields/armor.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I decided to try Adept on Insanity because I played Vanguard on Veteran.

I spent an hour dying trying to turn the fans on. Almost made it once, but I got stuck in a wall. Shit sux.

Went Soldier on my first playthrough. Tried Vanguard for the second but hated not being able to use assault or sniper rifles.

Maybe I should try Inflitrator or Sentinel.

Insanity is a cakewalk.
It stars out pretty difficult, but after Horizon if you can beat Horizon your good for the rest of the game, if you can't you might as well give up), things get a lot easier. Use Mordin and Zaeed and your pretty much unstoppable. Harbingers are especially easy if your a sentinel because you have Mordin for incinerate, Zaeed for inferno grenade, and you can use warp to take down barriers.

It's fucking idiotic that biotic powers dont go through armour, i mean they lift bodies in the air, BUT NOO NOT ARMOUR

>>48648984
Maybe you should have played on insanity for a single fucking time out of all those times to see why adrenaline rush is the best and most overpowered ability in the game.

>>48648368

I've never had him do that, but under certain circumstances he does stand up when changing weapons.

The cover system is a bit fucking shit at times too. Like he'll switch stance whilst you're tracking someone with the sniper and the whole aim will jolt off the the side as he aims over cover and not around the side of it.

Then he'll refuse to get in cover, so you'll tap A twice and he'll throw himself clean over it and into fire.

It's not a big deal, but I've lost it a few times because the cover system has behaved a bit shit under pressure.

>>48649109

Why do manga orgasms always look like the woman's being brutally tortured?

>>48649335

Because Japan.

First beat ME1 with lvl 60 character.

Then beat ME2 on any difficulty w/ imported Character.

Start another ME2 playthrough from ME1 save file on insanity giving you 350,000 credits and 60,000 of each element.

Play as Sentinel, use Tac Armor. Use a combination of Mordin+Miranda or another soldier class squadmate.

Upgrade everything, you should have plenty of money.

Takes about 25-30 hours to play through the game with this method while doing every sidequest/loyalty quest.

>>48649312
I'm doing that now and still finding no more use for it than actually paying attention and not getting caught in a NEED BULLET TIME situation.

>>48648872
It is, Vangaurd is impossible on Insanity and if you say otherwise you've clearly not tried it.
Shotgun, short range and anything that gets close to you on insanity = instagib
charge, it's bad enough using charge on normal, never mind insanity, you will die instantly.
Shockwave, useless.

I made an engineer. Overload for the barriers, incinerate for the armors, attack drone for distraction.

insanity all the way baby.

I've completed Insanity as Adept on first playthrough. Haven't done only eclipse cargo assignment with three heavy mechs. It's not that hard when you figure out that all powers except warp are useless...

>>48650443
lol, it sucks. On veteran, I did it with one shot of the nuke launcher.

I doubt you could do it again like that.

>>48649566

What? I use a submachine gun and i've had no problem right to Freedoms Progress where I am now. Miranda and Mordin as party members at the minute.

If you insist on being a spastic and using a shotgun, charge them, shoot to stumble. Use a friendlies Biotic to stumble them (Pull, slam), shoot again and use another friendly biotic to stumble them for the final shot.

Anyone know why Shepard suddenly picked up a limp since being brought back to life?

I'm speedrunning a max paragon ME1 character because I was renegade for my ME2 playthrough and didn't get any NPCs carried over (lame), and I just noticed that when walking (not running, walking) Shepard is normal in ME1, but limps really heavily on his left leg in ME2. And does something weird with his head when he jogs.

Its kind of annoying.
