Well this is how I usually do it...
When taking down 1st group (3 standard + 1 silver), I usually do this:
- Mortar Volley ( + Aric Jorgan's AoE spread fire)
- Sticky Granade (on silver one)
- Explosive Round (to keep melee enemies in AoE of Sticky granade)
- High Impact bolt
- Full Auto (on silver one)
- Then Storm / Harpoon and end the fight with melee skills...
It works fine at all lvls... and it takes about 20-25 secs to take down the whole group.
----------------------------
Only prob is, that mortar volley has a 1 min CD...
So the 2nd group you have to it another way:
- Cryo Granade (silver)
- Sticky granade (standard 1) + Aric Jorgans sniper shot (standard 1), or how its called
- Explosive Round (standard 2)
- High Impact Bolt (standard 2)
- Full auto (standard 3)
- Then Storm - Explosive surge - Ion Pulse
- Take down the silver as the last
+ EVERY time I do a group I use one of the survivability abilities (adrenialine rush, reactive shield, smoke granade, etc...) you got enough of them to cycle.
Of course this is not exactly how I do it.. It depends on the situation, but usually you end this in about 40 secs.
- Next group is again Mortar Volley ready
I like it, because its very variable and when you are trying to kill those groups asap, you realize, you use almost ALL of your skills!!
Shield Spec has low DPS output, but if you can live with that, you will definitely enjoy this class!
Best Republic's tank imho...
