Ability rotations
for standard mobs, using the blaster and healing companion is fine
for groups, using harpoon and positioning yourself to use pulse cannon takes down groups well
For strongs/elites - burning cooldowns seems to work the best. Using the sticky grenade and shockstrike. Adrenaline rush and reactive shield allow for health regen. Especially for elites, using cyro grenade then No Retreat at the beginning will provide additional healing during the fight.
some fun combo attacks i use are 1) Cyro nade + Full auto so you get the full cast 2) Explosive round + high impact bolt
