Seems a bit strange that the Quarian Engineer would be the worst anti-Geth character in the game. No anti-shield ability, and Geth kill the turret instantly, unlike the decoy and drone. Cyro is weak and Incinerate requires the dhields to be down to actually do real damage. Also Incinerate does not make Geth panic.
You would think the QE would be the BEST at fighting Geth, lore-wise. I know they are a very weak class, not they should at least be passable against the Geth.

This post got me thinking.
Has there ever been an example in the lore of ME when the Quarians bested the Geth? All I can remember is that the Quarians seem to get their collective migrant behinds handed to them on every encounter. No doubt they, as a race, are the most experienced at battling the Geth...but are they actually any good at it?

Quarian Infiltrators are beast against the Geth. Never been a fan of the QE. Always go for the Salarian Engie.

They lost the Morning War..But they WERE beating the Geth before they got Reaper upgrades during ME3. So yeah. They should definately be the best against Geth.

And what's that? That they're going to call the Salarian infiltrators so there'll be someone to actually wreck the geth?

You would think though that a Quarian would know the most about combating the Geth, and an ENGINEER would be great against synthetics. Instead you have this horrible combo class that is actually the worst synthetic killer in the game (and probably the worst classnoverall). Loltali.

The implications that the heretics from ME1 (ya know...the one that gave the fleet at the citidel a run for it's money) were such a small fraction of the real geth force was completely ignored in 3.
I just don't see how it would have been possible without that glaring plothole, but that's not really a discussion for the multi section so...
The turret needs a serious buff. It's a very bad class.

Actually, the turret should be far more powerful - maybe not at the same level like the Cerberus Turrets (I want one of those btw!) but closer to it.
More damage, more health, more shields.

You'd think they'd have Overload or something, but I never have a problem with Geth, Cryo Blast works great on Hunters.

Yes, I thought that as well. It was in the codex that the heretics could be as little as 5% of the total Geth.

QE is one of my favorites and I can hold my own vs any faction on Gold. Yes she is more effective vs Cerberus and Reapers damagewise, but can also handle geth just fine. Sentry turret distracts Geths like they have AHDS, which makes everyones life easier, especially on gold. You need a good gun, preferably with Disruptor ammo to strip shields and then blow everything up with AOE incinerate and tech bursts. Good thing geth like to bunch up. Works like a charm for me.

Not really. They will still shotgun your face off.

They are still the weakest character against Geth, and probably overall. Sentry turret dies very fast, Cryo is actually quite bad, and Incinerate needs the shields down. You have to combo them as well, for less damage than other characters do. Weak, Tali, weak.

We have reached a consensus... QE is the worst for facing us. We eat them for breakfast as organics say

Give any class a Carni with high caliber barrel and a scope and they are all beast. Would help to have nades though too. That's why I go with the infiltrator ; )

I don't seem to have an issue against the Geth when I use my Quarian Engineer or Infiltrator. I just keep my distance much as possible and take them down one by one.

The quarian is a great class. All you do is max cryo blast and incinirate. Then you run around dropping shields, freezing enemies, and exploding them. The sentry sucks I'll give you that, so do not max it give it 3 levels. Quarian defender's rank 6 perk is lame so don't get it.
Check out this build: http://me3multiplaye...t-by-draelexia/
Give that a chance and see how you like it after you play it the fun way.

I have great fun with the Quarian Engineer on Silver. I toss down the turret to let me know what direction the bad guys are coming from (love the flamethrower), and spam Cryo/Incinerate from a distance. If I get a non-cohesive team I'm often the last one standing, but then I'm screwed, because she's not much of a solo artist (like the infiltrator, which I also love). Yeah, I often choose to pack disrupter ammo.

I play gold only, btw. And I love using the QE. But they are quite easily the worst anti-geth character in the game. They are perhaps the worst gold character fullstop.

I usually dread playing against the geth unless I know I have another player who is dedicated to anti-shields or I bring disrupter ammo with me. With disrupter on I usually exploit tech bursts with incinerate, but without it I feel at a disadvantage as the QE.
Cryo certainly helps slowing down targets and weakening their damage but it's still pretty difficult to overcome shields with powers alone - if SMGs were viable and did bonus damage to shields, then it wouldn't be so tough.
The sentry turret doesn't last long when geth primes are involved, but other than that, I don't think that's the sole issue here.

I don't agree that they are the worst character in the game. They lack the glitz of the Infiltrators and Adepts, but offer a lot of support potential that is sadly often ignored. They are relatively weak, individually, but offer so much to the team that knows how to work with her.
There are lots of good threads on the topic, but just quickly a power that nets your whole team an additional 25% damage to the target from all sources, reduces enemy armour by 40% and gives the engineer a +125% damage boost to Incinerate is nothing to be sniffed at. Oh, and it's also reducing the speed said nasty can move whilst setting up for an explosion that transfers this awesome debuff to anything in the room. That's cryo - probably the power considered the 'weakest' by many players...
