    Or he can just bring the orb's life down very low with sniper, reload then finish it off with the secondary weapon. Then switch back to sniper and unleash hell in her face. Pistol could work too but i think they have less damage and relatively slow rate of fire so i doubt you can get in 6-8 shots before the orb respawn but Talon and Carnifex having pretty good damage so they are an option as well. Shottys like Dhan do even higher damage making short work on her.
    Powers and ammo should be ready because as the previous person mentioned earlier you need a high burst in that short amount of time.

Would depend a bit on your exact level, but rocket to the face helps....as well as a large burst damage weapon because you want the extra damage from cloaked attacks. Use widow, blackwidow, or ishray on the orb and then depending on reload times of main I may swap over to heavy pistol for 6 to 8 shots to face...as companions I like drack and vetra personally for infiltratetors.

I think part of your issue is your gun, you don't get much damage bonus from cloak cause it breaks on first shot or 2 sec later, and then he is hunting you. Plus once his shield breaks you want to light his head up with huge damage fast, not little damage over time.

      personally I played the whole insanity with nohing but a valkyrie rifle it's super easy and pretty fast too even the kett krogan that most people seem to be afraid of went down super fast thanks to the bio converter ammo was never a issue oh and never try bio converter with the agaran sniper rifle .....

        I would disagree on not using the bio converter on the Isharay. SIngle shot rifles and heavy duty weapons with low clip size benefit the most of it. You need some life support to back it up but its worth it. Or you can add vintage heat sink to skip the reload animation so you can use powers while its cooling down.

        I agree on the Valkyrie though, that thing is an absolute monster. Not a big fan or burst weapons but that one got me. There are only a few AR's that are as good or better than it.
