Platinum just scares me 🙂 I played on bronze initially, and these days i just solo them unless i'm re-levelling a character for fun, but then progress to silver as soon I can. Silvers are fun, increased AI and incoming damage and mob types over bronze... then i hit gold.. a sharper rise again.
Then.. however, i tried platinum, I took my duellist.. and it has to be said.. it left me feeling rather overwhelmed, i think i died more times than Connor McLeod on HIghlander 😉 as did many in the group. It was going well up until one point where it seemed they threw every single boss at us, all at once and it was at this point i was thinking.. this is too sharp a rise compared to gold.
We full extracted wave 7.. but i've never been back and done another.. i've joined a gold lobby and they've switched to platinum and i've left immediately. I dunno, maybe i just prefer not to use all my consumables in 1 small part of 1 wave. Perhaps i'll try again some day, but for now.. i just don't feel at ease clicking into a platinum as i do a gold.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been putting more time in and I definitely see the incredible situational uses for that shield. If nothing else it gives me a way to kill off a few precious seconds waiting for the cooldown on ED. I'll take a look at some of the top tier skills and maybe dump one so I can at least up the cooldown and power of Throw.
While we're on the topic, I'm glad it's not just me thinking I'm really that bad at Platinum. I've run some waves as a XX human adept and unless I was situated behind frontline players, providing ranged support with Singularity and Shockwave, I was dying in seconds. At one point someone revived me and I couldn't even get clear of fire fast enough to keep from dying a split second later. The sentinel was serviceable on Gold, but I doubt I could make her any use on Plat.
Is platinum meant for when you have a maxed out weapon and some top tier booster mods? I got the game quite late and my Apex is only around 6000ish, so I'm assuming I shouldnt' be anywhere near that difficulty.
