Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out the video and let me know what you liked about it and what I can improve on!

Minor error, in ME1 biotics effect ALL enemies, including shielded ones. This is why Adept is so overpowered in ME1 compared to the other 2 games. That's also why I disagree with your assessment of Liara in ME1. Since singularity effects shielded enemies too, it's far more useful to have another character with singularity than one that can strip shields. With 2 singularities and 2 lifts, you can spend basically all of almost every fire fight with most of the enemies floating. It's so overpowered that it basically sucks all the difficulty out of the game.

Bastion Specialization make Stasis way more useful since you can damage enemies held in it.

I found the bonus power "Reave" to be the best biotic power. At high skill level, it applies to an area, and through material enemy barriers (e.g. metal shields) and at any distance. The most awesome property of Reave is that it sucks health from enemies and gives it to the player. It enables combo detonations as well. With a low cool down time at high skill level, this means you can permanently suck health from several enemies simultaneously, which allows the player to survive long periods under heavy fire.

In ME3, I always go with Garrus and Liara. Garrus for overload, Liara for a second singularity and plenty of biotic explosions. With the offensive capabilities of both, I don't really need Edi's decoy. Things just die too fast.

You can pick weapon specialisation in me1 and me2 giving you extra weapons in me2 ( I pick assault rifle)

just finished LE1 and LE 2, and you are 100% right, nice guide

While I generally like the Adept, it has to be said that unfortunately, the class is at it´s strongest in ME1. I will never forget the first time I used lift on a Geth Armature or a Krogan Warlord, completely neutralizing these otherwise scary enemies. In the subsequent games, especially in ME2, the Adept is not that good, because biotics can´t affect enemies with protections anymore. The abilities got nerfed in exchange for shorter cooldowns. I personally preferred the way abilities were used in ME1, with long cooldowns, but devastating effects. It also left more space for gunplay, which I felt was really missing in ME3.

New to adepts. Can you use singularity to gather mobs together for increasing cluster grenade damage? Not sure how these work.

hi i heard that stasis was bugged and didnt unlock after completing the shadow broker dlc, just wondering if this is not the case or if there has been a patch and its now available?

[svengerkens]

In ME 1 you can use Stasis in Besieged to prevent the drugged scientists to be killed.

I have never played an Adept in over 8 play throughs, but I do believe my next time will be an adept

[drzoom]

After doing insanity with all classes several times i need some new insanity challenges:
1. Dont level up any squadmates
2. Never upgrade, mod or change squadmates weapons from default
3. Never activate any squadmate abilities/powers
The aim is to do a TRUE solo run on insanity. If you start with an imported ME2 game you might want to tweak some of the factors, like squadmate powers and levels, but an imported ME3 character should be able to do it.
What do you guys think?

I'm trying to choose a class for my upcoming canon run w/ my definitive Shepard. It's between Adept, Sentinel, and Vanguard. Leaning towsrds Adept at the moment, since it's the only class with its signature ability in all 3 games.

Gotta snag flare asap it’s a bigger badder warp with the right armor

[ArrozMisto]

Hey man, good video, any plans on doing a guide on Soldier?

[juleksz.]

Didn't pistol for adept in ME1 had highest DPS for the class ? I'm sure at the mid-late game player could afford pistol that was enought to deal with all enemies.

[skyhawkslcb]

what's the point of being an adept if you're gonna sit back and snipe?

[mattb]

I let out a massive biotic dump while watching this.

[scottd]

If I wanted to play this class and set off tech combos as well who would be the best squad and skill to learn
