Penang Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've been playing an Assault Specialist Vanguard for awhile now (Lvl 40 ) at the moment. Most of the matches are fine but Master Strikes from Juggs/Guardians and Marauders/Sents are a real pain. I am sometimes very reluctant to use my cryo grenade (especially in huttball matches). Is there anything else that can be done to counter these? Walking away doesn't help because the third strike from Master strike extends to well over 10 meters. Is cryo grenade my only escape?

gofortheko Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 you have two stuns, save them and use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagran Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If your level 50, you can use your AOE stun, or your cryo grenade. If both are on cooldown you can always hit a combination of your defensive shield and your self heal to weather the storm. That said in the heat of an encounter I don't always remember all of my options and I toss a cryo grenade at them during a masterstrike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheronFett Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Master Strike/Ravage is their hardest hitting attack. They all have the same rotation: leap, armor debuff, and then they hit you with it. You have 2 choices, either stand there like a schmuck or stun them. We only have 2 stuns, and they both suck, so you need to make the most of them. Snipers are good targets for your Cryo Grenades as well. They will eat you alive @ range and you can't Harpoon them out of cover unless you fire off a grenade first.

CitizenFry Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 the third strike from Master strike extends to well over 10 meters. I've been wondering about that, I could never tell whether moving away was helping me or not. So I guess the answer to Master Strike is stun, or knockback if you have one?

TheronFett Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If you catch it very early on, you might be able to avoid the final strike, but usually not, and certainly not while backpedaling. But yes, the range on it is close to 10m. The best thing to do is stun or pop your shield and just eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you answered your own question here. If that is our biggest attack and its also controllable from your side on wether or not it even happens? Who wouldn't use their only stun to stop it? Oh and that's definitly not our rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheronFett Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I wasn't trying to answer my own question. As for Marauders, it doesn't matter what their rotation is. I can think of 2 well played ones on my server out of the legions of bads, which is pretty typical for the class. They're the least of my worries in a warzone.
