Hi all, I have many points for upgrade me and other dossier of my team, grunt is better to make him lord of war or Krogan pure blood? Shepard's best demolition or mechanical? Thane murderer Drell Drell or sniper?

[Doriath]

The better passive evo for the engineer would be based on what your build looks like. I prefer mechanic because the duration adds to combat drone, cryo blast, incinerate and (I believe but could be wrong) AI hacking. Now someone is going to come here and argue that damage bonus on a class that has most of the damage coming from their powers is better....but duration bonuses can affect power damage if DoT (damage over time) is in play, so keep that in mind.

As for Thane, Drell Marksman is the better choice so you can have his weapon damage at its highest. The added health bonus from Drell Veteran isn't worth the tradeoff in weapon damage, on any difficulty.

With Grunt, I don't know really. I'm of the mind that no ally in this game can actually tank for your squad, so from that aspect, Pureblood would be useless. I'd go with Warlord but I don't use Grunt all that much to say definitively one way or the other.

Engineer: Choose Demolisher if you are focusing on damage powers such as Overload and Incinerate. Choose Mechanic if you are focusing on duration powers such as Cryo Blast and AI Hacking. Combat Drone benefits from both but benefits more from Mechanic.

Thane: Drell Marksman for the increased weapon damage.

Grunt: I agree with chrisnabal, no ally can really tank for you in this game. I hardly ever use Grunt outside of his loyalty mission as I do not find him useful at all. Flip a coin to decide.

but for weapons?

The Incisor is only good in your squadmate's hands. You run into a lot of ammo issues if Shepard has the Incisor. For Garrus, I recommend that you use the Incisor.

Not sure what you are asking about the shotguns. If you asking about Grunt, then I recommend the Geth Plasma Shotgun (GPS). Squadmates like to fire shotguns at any range and the GPS is extremely accurate. If you are asking what shotgun you should take as an Engineer, then that choice is made for you. You cannot take the Claymore on the Engineer without modding your game.

[capn233]

C'mon, you have to give Grunt his Claymore.

Perhaps not the best from a damage standpoint, but he is pure Krogan, you should be in awe and five him the biggest shotgun possible.

I haven't noticed much of a difference between Warlord and Pureblood for him to be honest.

[Mand0l1n]

I always go for pureblood since it reinforces what is already his best quality - survivability. True enough on insanity no squadmates last that long but why not give him the best chance of avoiding a dirt nap and save some medigel. As for gun I always give him the gps to keep him more at range. With the claymore he seems to get up close and personal usually ending in his demise.

thanks

and for miranda better lord of cerberus or tattic of cerberus?

[ryoldschool]

Miranda- if you are going Solldier or vanguard the 15% weapon damage might be the best.  The difference is small, but real.   Miranda Damage Boost Under AR

[M4ster]

I m engineer

[RedCaesar97]

For Miranda, I would recommend Cerberus Leader for the extra squad weapon damage. It is small and not all that noticeable, but every little bit helps, especially since the Engineer does not have any native weapon damage bonuses.

Cerberus Tactician is good for the squad health boost, but again, the bonus is small, but combined with armor pieces it can really add up.

Either one is fine but I recommend Cerberus Leader for the weapon damage boost so you and your squad can strip defenses quicker.

[M4ster]

but for mass effect 3 cerberus robot is better demolisher a good overload shield go down if bioware change damage of it.
AI HAcking in mass effect 2 in not powerfull, I Rush always with overlaod and incerinate, locust and alliance pistol.
I'm not a person that stand back of a box or a reapair, i use drone only for distract the enmy and attack with overload, when the drone explode it damage the enemy, I attack with overload again and it explode.

Incinerate is not DoT. It's CC effect lasts 3 seconds but its damage is done instantly. As such it doesn't benefit from class passives or duration upgrades, unlike Reave, who benefits from both (but gets a -20% duration penalty on Insanity).

Yeah you're right, I guess I got confused since I have seen it slowly inch a health bar down over time, but having just checked it today, it does deal instant damage to protection. Usually, I replace incinerate's role with reave and I use attack drone, so from that standpoint I get a little more out of mechanic.

[M4ster]

so better as a mechanic for demolition instead of Mass Effect 3?
