Alternative to soloing missions on Hard for levels 12-22?

**Sorter**

So yeah, in the past I've stuck with MA all the way to around 30 or so while soloing hard missions. However, from levels 12-22 it becomes a bit of a drag because aside from specials that require states, I'm stuck with Overhead Smash and Iron Guard, which takes forever the closer you get to 22. At 22 and higher it gets easy because you start getting the new standard specials, ie. Misdirect Punch, Sky High Kick, etc.; as well as having the mobs becoming less of an annoyance (in Int'l where I mostly mission) and then its onward and upward from there as I start to diversify my trees.

With my new character, I thought I'd try something else besides MA for a change....mainly to at least get me through those dreary levels of 12 to 22 or so. Any suggestions or tips? Any help would be appreciated.

I know how hard it is to realize that you made a wrong decision. Still there are things that might help you. I know about several Access Cards and Hideouts that fit your kinetic level...

It sounds like all you need is a bit of a change. Really any other tree should do the trick, just so you don't have to see the same moves another hundred times. I'd suggest Spy as it has a different style of gameplay from MA while still being an Operative discipline. Plus you might be less bored once you figure out how to drop enemies in a single sneak-attack :)

I did guns till 22 on Recursion, then went to MKT till 30. Do a stat hack and give MKT a try.

best loadout i find is using the spy tree. if you load deadly throw suplex and sweep with lockpicks and map and hack from the hacker tree you can pretty much complete any objective a mission throws at you just keep a disguise handy get in the lift disguise up then find the objective what ever it may be either hack or kill mainly. if you come to a locked door you can pick it once its open disguise up before you open the door then suplex the target followed by deadly throw. with the double damage given by the off balance it equals insta death for your target

You can also headbutt them as well after the suplex to decrease their tactics. Thats what I do after deadly throw.

This guy is talking about levels 12 to 22, way too early for Suplex.

Dropkick them then! SMILEY

I'd do guns or MA till 22, then switch to MKT.
