Well, I tried all the suggestions. Playing as a level 27 Sentinel. totally useless. I'm getting some sort of server glitch now where Kira attacks, everything pauses for a moment, Kira is dead and then I get one attack in before I'm dead.
I just did that about 10 times in a row.
I'm playing this game for the story. Challenge here and there is nice. Impossible to beat guy required to continue game sucks completely.
