 Thanks to the unlock system I haven't even unlocked half of the weapons in the game, which makes comparisons a little difficult.

From what I can tell:

• Pistols are great for damage, are quite accurate but have a low rate of fire: They are great over the distance and against single enemies
• SMGs have a high rate of fire, the damage of assault rifles and are fairly accurate when using a scope: Usable over distance if necessary and quite good close-up against multiple enemies
• ARs: Almost the same as SMG but with more focus on distance than mid- and close-range
• Shotguns: High damage output, low accuracy, low rate of fire: Great close up but useless over distance.

I currently roll with a Shuriken X but I'm not really happy with it. However, I'm unsure about what to actually pick.
Shotsguns are great after a charge to finish off the enemy but on higher difficulties, necessary attacks from a distance are impossible.
Pistols don't really work well in a group of enemies because of their low rate of fire and capacity. SMGs seem to be the most versatile but the damage output is not really satisfying.

Long story short: What do you guys think is the best class and, within that class, the best weapon to pick for a (human) Vanguard?

Anything that works for you.

Also, why not carry Heavy pistol and AR? Get 200% speed boost while at it. That's what I do. Pistols are great for headshots and even for bodyshots. AR is good when you want to save your ammo and work enemies off from distance (but they do work from close too ).

Single Avenger X = +200% power recharge, good at any range, lots of ammo

[Newbtastic]

For a human vanguard, you are the weapon. Seriously, equip a pistol for a high power recharge boost and go nuts with biotic charge + nova. It's super easy at bronze, but takes a LOT of skill and effort in silver and gold. Silver is actually pretty easy if you're not stupid.

Really all you need is a Carnifex, Nova and your fists(200% power reduction). You could add a Katana or Scimitar and go from a 3.03 charge to 3.43 if you wanted two weapons.

On Gold it is much harder to spam Nova and your job really is to protect your Asari and other squishes from flanks in the later waves rather than being "At the Vanguard'. Use your Carnifex until phantoms and what not begin to charge your team then go back to charge mode.

Scimitar, and a Carnifex. Thats all you really need.

Dunno if you have specced so, but I think you can carry pistol with it and still have 200%

[PikkuKananen]

Scimitar

Silver is indeed pretty easy but on Gold I felt like the SMG wasn't the best choice to back up the Charge-Nova combo.

As for Power Recharge and Weight: Since Shockwave is useless, every other Power can be maxed out, which means almost all Level X weapons give 200% bonus or are close to it when doing it right.

depending on how you level up/if you level up alliance training you can get shotguns at +190% speed. this is the difference between 3.08 secs and 3.17 secs for a charge compared to the 200% from pistols and smgs.

i personally find shotguns to be a lot more effective (since you're at close range from charging). with cyro ammo it's handy for quick CC/fun shattering the frozen enemies, and with armour piercing ammo you can shoot away guardians with no worries.

however, for the earlier levels, alliance training isn't a high priority. I suscribe to using the pistol/assault rifle then.

If you don't melee, rather than using the shotgun blade attachment (+25%melee damage) you can use the smart choke (50% increase in accuracy) which makes the shotgun decent even at range.

Probably a Pistol, unfortunately.

I like my Avenger IX. I got 75 kills by round 7 in my last game with my level 7 Vanguard. My team was useless.

[Mand0l1n]

For enjoyment use the scimitar. For effectiveness the pistol or smg.

Actually shockwave isn't useless. It's great for quickly taking out guardians. Equip the carnifex, shockwave and you can one shot the guardian in the head. I would only put in one point though, just so you have the knock back.

Unfortunately that would mean not being able to max out all of the other four powers. But with the respective weapon, Alliance level 6 might be neglectable.
