drones are pretty much useless and can't tank much at gold.
seems like the classes to be , at gold level are
1x vanguard
1x asari adept
and everyone else is pretty much filler
Engineers not viable at gold ?

Pretty sure I saw someone mention they beat gold with 4 Engineers, not sure what thread it was tho.

infiltrator is not a filler. they can cap objectives and rez in stealth. but the fact there are two standouts means balance is not quite right. esp the asari statis needs to be rebalanced. the vanguard puts himself at risk with his charges, whereas theres little risk in instant freezing everything.

I got to stall a line of six atlases by making the first one turn around. That's pretty useful, for it gives the team enough time to kill off the phantoms with careful management. Keep spamming drone.

You gotta have drones with rockets, and use them as a distraction while you overload shield, and incinerate armor and health, then let your team rain death on those f***ers

My comrades and I ran through Gold as four engineers. Everyone ran Rocket Drones and chain overloads. Atli were not that problematic as we had first feared (nasty effect of four overloads being spammed) except when we had 2 at once. Our biggest threats were the obvious phantoms but because we could CC like God's, they never saw what was coming.
Tier 9 is a B... Tier ten we lucked out with the kill X Target (which were all Atlas and Combat Engineers). We played on Noveria because of the better cover there for the extraction. Stayed in the Hallway with turrets and shots blazing until 25 seconds left and booked it to the center for the Win. Well deserving for the Title Gold on Combat lvl Asian.

Contrary to the OP, I would argue that having an engineer in Gold makes it vastly easier. Rocket drones can cause a lot of mayhem, and even a drone in the midst of the enemy causing a 1 or 2 second distraction is that much less time that the enemies are looking and shooting at you. They also recharge really fast, so are spammable.
For the demo at least, my ideal team would be the following:
1) Human Engineer (distraction drone, defense stripping, excellent turret busting)
2) Asari Adept (epic crowd control)
3) Infiltrator (multipurpose cloak for objective capping, reviving fallen teammates, two-shotting a shield stripped Atlas...)
4) Human Sentinel (combos nicely with the adept, is tougher than your average trooper); alternatively, Human Vanguard (can either Charge or Shockwave to detonate combos, risky to charge on Gold though)

engi is the most useful person for gold, a properly lvl up overload will help stun the enemy and especially kill phantoms

If overload is all you want them for then Turian sentinels have them beat.illusive_wolf wrote...

Engineers are practically essential for Gold. Turrets/Drones distract enemies and keep them from firing at your team.
Our Gold run we had one asari adept, one human engineer, one quarian engineer and one salarian infiltrator. One Engineer at each side of the area we were securing, with the adept dashing back and forth to stasis Phantoms and the Infiltrator covering whatever side the adept wasn't.
Worked perfectly.

Yup. I haven't found any weakness with mine yet. Great weapon damage and accuracy. CAn bypass any defense instantly, One of the higher defenses with tech armor, and has an kickass melee animation.
