 So I'm planning on starting a caster Sentinel playthrough sometime soon, with the following build:

Raider
Power Armor
Heavy Warp
Area Overload
Heavy Throw
Shredder/AP Ammo 1

So my question is, at level 1 which ammo power would be more effective? And I do intend to take an ammo power so if anyone can make a case out of warp ammo that would also be good, although I honestly don't think it would make a difference at 30% bonus damage only. Also, I am quite aware of the possibly greater benefits of taking slam or neural shock as a level 1 power, but I will shamelessly admit that I am a fan of ammo powers.

My main strategy will probably be casting to destroy shield/armor/barrier and then shooting health. With this in mind, would Shredder's extra 10% damage be worth the sacrifice in  lack of synthetic health and armor damage?

If you had to take an ammo power - AP will serve you pretty well. I'd make a strong case for Warp Ammo when you are going to fight Collectors due to their heavy use of barriers. Shredder simply isn't worth it - even on low levels, the mooks will die quickly, and you'll want AP to deal with the (usually armored) bosses.

Might as well go with Shredder, if only for the lulz. I have been thinking of making a Shredder character lately, just for somethin very slightly different.

Overlord 4 (Area)

You and me both.  I'm planning an Assault Sentinel with Legion and Tali, constantly resetting their drones with Tech Armor.  Might as well toss Shredder in.  What could go wrong?

It isn't like you are at much risk with a Sentinel.



"Are you shooting me, or is that just a breeze?"



Add a couple of drones and you could simply wait for them to die of old age.

Due to the way ammo powers work (it's only off the base damage of the weapon, not any upgrades or skills or anything) any ammo power to just level 1 won't really make much of a difference.



So... pick whatever one you like the color of best.

Actually, Cryo is still a one point wonder, if only for the instant husk kills.

AP ammo also kills health, as does Warp ammo... they also have effects on armor and biotics, so they're better than shredder in almost all circumstances.

Even though you are stripping defenses mainly with powers, I'm sure you will have situations where you want to shoot enemies that are still protected or under the effect of biotics.

Yes, I should have been more specific. He's going sentinel which does not get cryo ammo and none of your teammates ever get it.

Furthermore, every class that DOES get cryo ammo requires 2 points in a different ammo to get it, so unless you planned on getting the other ammo anyway it's not really accurate to call it a one point wonder.

But otherwise, if you could put 1 point in cryo ammo as a bonus power, or on a teammate, or even just as one of the three sheps who gets it then it would be the best 1-point power (even though I think it's the worst ammo overall, yes I know lots of people disagree). 

Edit: on second thought, shredder is actually probably the worst overall ammo and cryo the second worst. Both only effect health but cryo gives you +100% damage after they freeze (for everyone) while shredder only gives +80% of base weapon damage for you (or +60% to squad). Shredder is just really bad

I've been thinking the same thing. So it's a toss between Shredder's awesome green-ness or the way AP ammo would match tech armor. Hm. Any opinions xD?

[Praetor Knight]

Match with Tech, IMHO.

But what color scheme do plan with your N7 armor or are you going to be using one of the others? That's another possible match you can do.
