No. Common cards will duplicate. Its the Rare and Ultra-Rares that were the issue before and that has been rectified.
Do uncommon dupe?

I like what they've done to singularity. I've been using a phoenix adept 6/6/6/6/0 lately on gold matches. I was never that good with any adept class until now.
singularity - radius/recharge/dmg
lash - detonate/dmg/penetration
smash - elec/force/armor dmg
training - weight/power/pistol & shotty weight
Armored targets get singularity and gunfire from a distance. Up close they get singularity and smash. Non-armored gets singularity and lash with the occasional bullet during cooldown.
I use a Paladin II with extended barrel + ammo capacity +184% cooldown. It's good for armored targets and I can shoot off a round or two inbetween cooldowns. It's great but I'm open to suggestions. What gun would you guys recommend? I have every non-rare gun at X and I have all the ultra rares but they're all < IV.

I've got my Phoenix Adept runnin' around with a Hornet X w/ Stability 'n High-Velocity mods—reliable, high damage, low weight weapon to fall back on when you absolutely have to(and you'll rarely have to, if you're using the Phoenix Adept right)
... And I think you should set up Smash's Evo4 for Biotic Combo instead of Electrical Damage. More opportunities for Biotic Explosions.

No, just Common character cards.

So I just had a match on Hazard Dagger against Geth. Never again. When I saw the "Geth Bomber" name for the first time in that leak I was expecting a palette swapped Geth Soldier that can throw grenades or something, not some completely silent hard to hit tiny robot that has both shields and armor and can lay 5 bombs at a time. I wonder who thought it was a good idea to add those to the same stunlock team that has near-invisible Hunters and ungrabbable Pyros and Rocket Troopers that can shoot multiple missiles at a time and Primes that can curve their beams and summon turrets anywhere they please.

What do you mean? What title?
You know, in all honesty, on the Phoenix Adept electric whips vs. Biotic whips doesn't make too much difference. The only way you can detonate a BE set up by Smash is to Lash unarmored targets, which Singularity + Lash is much better suited for.
Biotic whips have the straight damage upgrade, but electric whips have the DoT, which makes it a preference thing.
On a Phoenix Vanguard, Biotic Smash + Charge is THE combo to use, but the Adept doesn't really have an equivalent.

is it possible to play dagger without the hazards anymore? im sick of the hazards it gets old.very quickly and its ruined one of my fave maps.
Another thing that i like with the Phoenix Vanguard is using Lash and then Biotic Charge on that enemy while they're on the ground/stunned for a Biotic Explosion. It's pretty powerful against Phantoms when you manage to hit them with Lash right after their power shield is down. They're all confused and flying in the sky with their jetpacks on their hands that they dont see me coming.
Haha, I never actually tried that. My Phoenix Vanguard specced out of Lash so I could put more points into Fitness.
You do have to spec Lash so that it can work on shield and barrier for this to work on Phantoms though. They always use their power shield the first time I use Lash on them, but i usually wait 3 seconds, and use Lash again. Then.. FLYING CONFUSED PHANTOMS WITH JETPACKS.
And you're missing a lot by skipping Lash. I spam this power all day on armorless targets. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but it completely stops my target from attacking + seeing them fly in the sky is priceless.
Don't think the weekly challenges start until the weekend after this one.

how do u choose to play without hazards?
I keep Lash on my Adept. My Vanguard is pure in-yo-face gameplay, so Lash suits my Adept more.
I dunno, I thought heard how the Phoenix Fitness was broken for extra health/shield, so i never bothered putting much points into Fitness for my Vanguard... unless all that was a lie.

After you finish a challenge and are able to "set tittle", it's what they are called no? or is it banner? I never got a round to figuring out how to take it off.
Oh, I have no idea. I haven't finished a Gold Challenge yet. Try going to http://social.bioware.com/n7hq/.
The Biotic Evo would help set up BE's that can be detonated by others though. But if the Electrical Evo has a longer DoT effect then it would be able to set up Tech Bursts for a longer window, so maybe that would be more effective.

Any tips for the Volus Adept? it feels a little weak for me
Run around big teammates and spam shield boost.

One of the top 5 characters in the game. I got it specced 6/6/6/5/3.
For shield boost, make sure you you do the one where its 50% damage reduction.
The orbs are amazing, the cool down doesnt affect you launching them. Choose the one where it debuffs and stacks.
Stasis, same as the Asari Adept.
On one of the fitness ones i choose 30% extra shield boost.
I have the adept with my Hurricane II using warp rounds. For any single person you can use stasis + orb for biotic explosion (since the orbs dont affect cooldown) and for bosses launch 3 orbs then warp ammo till your clip runs out.
when things get hairy ALWAYS make sure you have your shield boost ready. If someone goes down, cloak (light melee) then revive + shield boost. You will become everyones best friend.
its a great character, tying for me with the Volus engineer.

my fave character now and ive been shredding with him on gold.
everything on 6 with proxy mine on 0. you dont need it. spec for shield boost like i saod in the above post and the recon mine should be with 20 percent damage when enemies are higlighted.
i used to run with a hurricane and scorpion which is fantastic. however now i use the reeger carbine. also use the engineering kit. spam shield boost when ur in trouble and.set the mine in corridoors. it is such a fantastic class.
I think it's just people who haven't played in months coming back just for the DLC and they are watering down the lobbies.
I think I'm going to stop playing for a week. This is infuriating.
It was a night and day difference.
Leading into the patch I was having the best pubs ever. Since the patch/DLC pub quality PLUMMETED. I played one pub match after getting my Lone Wolf banner and don't really feel like playing much more. Plus after seeing how much effort a friend spent on my account I bought them a bunch of MS points so they could get a head-start on their own account. There goes a huge source of credits for myself.
It means I'm going to have to stretch out my last 4m credits to unlock the remaining characters, because I don't really feel like playing pubs until people adapt. They're really really bad. I'll just hop on for a map or two with each new character as they're unlocked or until pubs stop sucking.
Before the Patch/DLC I was on a run of the most incredible pubs since the game released. Smart people paying aggressively without the standard OP classes (GI, QMI and the soret.)
They're never this bad

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
BioWare commented on the health gate situation.
They also wanted to press the issue of deceptive visual representation, as in your shield 'breaks' as the shield bar is still playing out the animation of it cooling down. Meaning you might get the impression of still having shield while health is being damaged.

Yeah... I dont know what's up. I dont know how good I am, I haven't played with any of you guys to gauge where I'm at but... there are people using missiles on a lone Atlas... using their med packs with team mates around them. I've carried waves, albeit on silver(haven't tried gold yet), only to have my team wipe out the next one and me not giving a shit anymore and not want to waste my medigel. People not using their medigel because their too stubborn.
I don't have anyone to play with but randoms, but I like to think I have more skill than your average pub players.
Yup, tonight has been terrible.

Ditto with the crappy connection tonight... Never seen it this bad before.
yep.

fire explosions galore. two of us just overloaded while the other two just incinerated

Is it worth respeccing the Paladin now? i had him at all 6's but zero on incinerate....
Ive had some GREAT pubs today - 3 x Gold extractions which are not as easy as they used to be. There was an absolute tank build destroyer and two of us had volus engineers - we just kept as a team and kept debuffing bosses for him and shielding everyone. the last game we all switched to Adepts (2 x Asari, 1 x Drell, me= Volus) so much fun. Biotic Explosions everywhere and the shield boost helps everyone.
The volus are really well thought out characters, the only thing i would change is i wish the engineer had overload instead of proxy mine. No one is using proxy mines in the game ive seen and you really need a "quick fire" power to get rid of people close to you.

I am happy to inform that FW/G/G still working very well for Farm Effect 3 multiplayer.
In the first couple of days people are confude and shocked with the changes in the map e that little flying thing who spawn grenades.
But now the poor people in the galaxy can go back and get your gold credits again.

Who cares? i played a game on white today and it was totally different. no one was camping and the changes that were made made it much more enjoyable. If people want to play it then let them - there are way more other maps/factions to do now if you dont want to do that.
Another thing is the damn stun
A Geth hunter gets a shot on me and I'm basically dead because he'll continuously stun me with his shots til I die while I try to shoot him
And if you get downed in an area with a lot of enemies, don't even try to get up because they'll all stun the crap out of you. You have no time to react to that.

I haven't gotten Volus Engineer yet, but I've used Proximity Mine as a "quick fire" power. Just quickly shoot it at their feet and watch them all stagger.
So I've been using a Volus Adept sniper a la Asari sniper and I think it's now my preferred playing style with him. I never use the orbs until a boss shows up. Biotic explosions are fast for the first three/four times you do it, but the cooldown on summoning orbs, even at 200%, is slightly long for me to be exploding everything like a proper adept especially with such low health/shields and needing access to my Shield Boost.
