I'd like to sign up to be an apprentice.  I'm your basic player.  I'm neither amazing nor terrible on Gold.  However, I'd like to learn more about how to play different kits.  I've played as an Engineer for forever, only branching out to complete challenges (and even then, not really caring about build).  So, if you have anyone who has a good working knowledge of every character, sign me up please!  

 

Also,  if I learned how to play better on Platinum, it wouldn't break my heart.  

 

PC Gamertag: ifyoureallyknew

I'm in the Central Timezone, and play mainly between 8 and 10 pm.

Idieatwaveone?  If so hes a BSN'r.  Di-Datau IIRC

 

 

That's it!  I loved it.

I can't remember the exact name, but it was something like "idiealot" or maybe "illdiefirstwave" or maybe it was "helpmeimdead".  A long that general theme.

 

My memory is no good =\

Guy comes into my lobby has a ridiculously high amount of challenge points and N7 rank. I'm thinking wow, this guy has put a lot of time into this game I wonder if he's gonna pull out some sort of interesting character build. lol no, TGI with a Harrier X. 

 

Well, we can't all be naturally amazing.

Um...Stick 'em with the pointy end?

I have so much love for this thread right now.

An interesting proposal.  

 

Firstly, on a scale of 1 to 10, how weird would you say you are?  

Secondly, how comfortable are you with total silence?  

Thirdly, can you tell jokes?  I like jokes.  

And last of all, how do you feel about team mates who die every five minutes?

 

I'll wait for you to get back to me.

Dead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No.  I'm kidding.  They were fine.  I PUGS.

Mmhmm.  Mmhmm.  So, basically, every kit possible.

 

 

 

Challenge Accepted!

Don't have a single one so I'm just gonna go nuts.
 
Any drell.
 
Drell Adept: http://kalence.drupa...!13O54384!E.0EG Amazing spawn nuker. Very reliant on grenades though. On the plus side, can sidestep just about any projectile...almost every one.
 
Drell Infiltrator: http://kalence.drupa...13B55314!G.EAGK With either this or a Geth Plasma Shotgun with Incendiary rounds. Dunks and staggers everything.
 
Drell Vanguard: http://kalence.drupa...13O52364!E.8AGG This or change power damage stuff around for more 'nade damage. Good spawn nuker as well. Some say use Venom, but my Venom's at rank 1 still, so that's a thing.
 
Krogan Adept: http://kalence.drupa...34153384!GF8B3O The biotic combos are ridiculously strong and he's got a lot of shields/DR to go with it. Quite fun.
 
N7 Fury: http://kalence.drupa...13N54384!GADB3G You're a walking biotic explosion, and when it's time to fight armored units, go nuts with Dark Channel and throw combos while shooting Hurricane(with warp rounds) inbetween to dunk 'em.
 
Krogan Soldier: http://kalence.drupa...24W53364!A40B5H Reegar cheeser. Dunks everything under the sun. Just fun for when you wanna melt stuff.
 
Human Alliance Soldier: http://kalence.drupa...24W53364!F37AGG Either Raider or Claymore. Can double-tap Claymore shots or get 4 shots off with Raider. Dunks armor SO fast, plus you can dodge, which helps a lot.
 
Turian Soldier: http://kalence.drupa...24A54314!F3BAGK Melts anything, especially boss enemies in seconds. Scorpion used for pesky phantoms.

 

Batarian Soldier: http://kalence.drupa...!24W53364!EA055 Another Reegar cheeser. Not as tough as the Krogan Soldier but he can stagger like crazy with Explosive Ballistic Blades.

 

N7 Destroyer: http://kalence.drupa...24Z57384!G.0AGG Dunks boss enemies with Typhoon. Staggers mooks with Geth Plasma Shotgun. Use grenades at point blank range to get something out of your face.

 

Turian Havoc: http://kalence.drupa...24W53334!95GA5K Is basically a Soldier Vanguard. Cryo Blast stuff to stagger it, Havoc Strike to bypass damage stuff like banshee warp ball, atlas rocket, etc. and to stagger/punt unshielded enemies. Also useful as a "GET OUTTA MY FACE" ability.

 

Geth Engineer: http://kalence.drupa...13053364!5D9A59 Shoot stuff, overload, fire explosion spam. Be a speedy-go-fast guy. Use turret to bunker down and heal or to hunt for enemies lurking about since it'll always face towards enemies.

 

Male Quarian Engineer: http://kalence.drupa...13O52314!EEA73G Good for area nuking. Arc Pistol stuff inbetween. Very useful against scanned boss enemies like Atlas.

 

Volus Engineer: http://kalence.drupa...43N52314!GBEG3S See everything, dunk everything. Just do it carefully, flimsy health/shields and all.

 

Talon Merc Engineer: http://kalence.drupa...24O56364!8.DD85 Can either Cain Mine spam or use Armor Piercing arrows on boss stuff. Otherwise stagger spam with GPS and go nuts with melee.

 

Turian Sentinel: http://kalence.drupa...24852314!BF9A3O Debuff and shoot things. Overload shields/barriers or stun, Warp boss enemies, kill stuff in a couple charged shots of an Arc Pistol. Also very durable, no dodge though.

 

Krogan Sentinel: http://kalence.drupa...24556384!G.9A8H Don't need cooldowns where you're going. Melee everything that's wise to melee. Dunk shields with Reegar, use Javelin to pick off stuff at range when you're in a hack zone or escorting drone. Otherwise ARM SLAP AND HEADBUTT EVERYTHING MMRAAA-*cough* Excuse me. But yeah, this guy is way too fun.

 

Krogan Warlord: http://kalence.drupa...24556334!GA.E8H Very fun kit to just punch and smack stuff with. I avoid stuff like praetorians and banshees like the plague though. Everything else is fair game.

 

Human Alliance Infiltrator: http://kalence.drupa...24W53364!5G0A5O Either Claymore or Raider. Dunks everything at close to medium range and the grenade can prime stuff with incendiary rounds or any other ammo type. Very useful.

 

Salarian Infiltrator: http://kalence.drupa...24053364!5BEA5O Either Claymore or Raider. Also dunks just about everything at close to medium range and can get shields back with Energy Drain to survive even longer.

 

Geth Infiltrator: http://kalence.drupa...13053364!5BFA5S Some prefer Javelin, I prefer GPS on him. Staggers everything and is very fast. Flimsy though, but dunks everything under the sun, more than most for me. Have Hunter Mode set that way in case I switch weapons which I sometimes do.

 

Male Quarian Infiltrator: http://kalence.drupa...24W53364!59AA5O Raider or Claymore. Very good at controlling and nuking spawns and Tac Scan helps with awareness/dunks boss enemies.

 

Turian Infiltrator: http://kalence.drupa...24Z51364!G59A5G Arguably the safest character in the game to play as, for me at least. Just destroys everything. Only downside is you need to hump ammo boxes to keep Harrier's pitifully low ammo capacity up. Though sometimes you can just stand next to an ammo box while a boss enemy like a Geth Prime is shooting somewhere else or a couple mooks aren't focusing you. Also he can dodge and just get out of bad situations quickly.

 

Human Alliance Vanguard: http://kalence.drupa...34157384!E.8EGK Probably the most combo-team friendly kit, though annoying to some due to all the yelling from nova and charge. But if you ever find yourself with a team that's priming stuff with either tech or biotics, this guy will get the job done. Nova cancel your way to victory and shoot shields off mooks to charge or nova them, usually kills them outright. I picked headshot damage for the weapon because I have too many and it gets rid of shields/barriers on boss enemies SO fast when you aim at their head or weak spot. Stupidly fun kit, mind the yelling though.

 

Krogan Vanguard: http://kalence.drupa...24556384!G.GD8L Very hard to die with this guy. Avoid praetorians like the plague, shoot shields off and punt everything else(teleporting banshees notwithstanding).

 

N7 Slayer: http://kalence.drupa...34N52364!E0.EGG Can lock down any mook. Geth Scanner lets you see dangers around walls and walljump to safety if need be. Cycling between shooting Talon and using Phase Disruptor and charge to get shields back will down boss enemies fast. Don't recommend charging a praetorian unless it's not focusing you and has not done a melee in the last few seconds. Ridiculously fun kit.

 

*Phew* ...Quite a lot.

 

TL;DR: There is no TL;DR, though I guess if I had to pick one out of all that, then it'd be a tie between Turian Sentinel, Turian Havoc Soldier, N7 Slayer, Drell Infiltrator, Drell Vanguard and Krogan Sentinel.

 

Quite a list!  Love it.  I'm going to try all of these.

Vorcha Sentinel w/ Graal

 

 

Shadow

 

 

Salarian Infiltrator with a Venom.

 

 

Why do you like them?  How do you spec them?

 

Fury + Wraith sounds interesting.  I imagine I'd die...a lot.

I hope it's a prequel about the Protheans.  It'd be interesting to see what other races existed during that time, as well.  

Added you.  I occasionally play weird hours, so timezone doesn't matter too much to me. 

I'm trying to branch out more, and use different characters/weapons/play styles etc.  So, help me out guys.  Which character do you consider to be the most fun?

I have no opinion on the whether the OP cheats or not, but I'm just going to randomly add the people who posted here.  It just seems so much easier than creating a new topic.

Added you.  Central timezone here, but that's not much difference =)

 .

 Sooo....I thought that you had to play through the challenges on Gold in order to unlock the banners.  I completed them on Silver, and still got one.  What's up with that?

Ah, okay. Thanks. This is the last one I need to finish.

I'm trying to get the Mathmagician Banner.  I apparently have 64 percent Sentry Turret, which is weird because I don't have a Quarian Engineer.  I do have a Geth Engineer, and have already maxed out my Geth Turret.   If another player as Sentry Turret, do I get credit for that or what?  

Um...anyone?

 So, I'm trying to earn my Mathmagician banner, and I have no other choice but to use the Paladin, since I don't have a huge variety of characters to choose from to earn the banner.  The problem is I'm pretty awful at playing this guy.  I'm certain that the only reason I do any damage at all is because I carry around a Piranha shotgun.  I mostly die a lot.  I'm fine on Silver, I guess, but if I have to do this on Gold...well....Any tips on best weapons/builds?  If possible, I'd like to get both my Shield Drain, and my Snap Freeze badges with him.  But I'm okay with just Snap Freeze, as I do well with my Salarian Engineer.
