Pull, Shockwave, and Slam as a bonus makes some entertaing biotic detonations with Liara and Javik. Nova who?

[ashwind]

... .. . Why not play an Adept instead... .. .

I love playing as a Vangard! My favorite squadmates to play with as a vangard are Garrus and Liara

[slramsey86]

I like Vanguard instead of Adept because I can close in on enemies if need be. I really don't even see the perks of Adept over Vanguard like ME2. I can still set up powerful detonations with Liara's Warp and my shockwave.

I think you get where I'm coming from.

Bonus power: dark channel
Squad mates: Javik and Kaidan
Build: radius and power synergy charge, half blast, piercing nova.
Cast dark channel with Shep and Javik. Charge. Open power wheel to pause game and have Kaidan cast wide reave. Nova. Stuff dies all over. Dark channel move to next target. Repeat.

Boring? Vanguard is the most entertaining class there is. Charging into a large horde of enemies is great. You don't have to do the charge>nova>charge>nova, you know.

Vanguard that uses mainly weapons is really, really fun for me. I got bored of Nova in about 5 minutes though.

The only times I ever bothered using Nova was when I got bored in my 3rd Vanguard playthrough and couldn't be arsed to whittle down Banshees/Brutes.
Grab your favourite shotgun and bring Liara to set up awesome biotic explosions. It's way more fun.

Well, that would be a preference, not a fact.

Krogan Vanguard is coming
I was in a mp match when discussion about how overpowered a krogan vanguard might be.
Things will be interesting when the new dlc goes live

Almost never used Nova - too high risk to take a shot from that baddies just outside the blast radius. Loved double pull as my ranged thing to break up the foes and then follow on the with charges,

Vanguard doesn't get double pull, double throw.

But yeah, apart from that it's probably more fun.

The charge+nova combo eventually takes away nearly all of the danger of taking hits after a charge because at higher levels charge automatically restores your shields after successful impact.

Pfft, Vanguards boring. Nonsense.
Vanguard offers the fastest game play, with equal parts boitic power and gunplay available. If u choose to just spam Charge and Nova, and then get bored. Well thats ur own damn fault.

Vanguard is one of the funnest classes. Of all the possible gameplay styles it's probably the most unique. Pretty much every other class is : Hide behind cover, and throw some powers and bullets downrange. Vanguard at least is different.  Not the easist, but I say it's actually the most unique.

And, of course, the other part of this is that it's not like there aren't repetitive combos and strategies in the other classes. Really, the charge levied against any class someone doesn't like is that it's repetitive and, therefore, boring. But gameplay is repetitive in all classes, your preference is just whichever style you can employ repeatedly without getting bored.

Was I the only one who got repeated satisfaction from spamming Charge and Nova?

Until the Banshees showed up on the last part of Priority: Earth, I was with you. Even Brutes were quickly taken out.

I enjoy the Vanguard for 1 reason: Best seats in the house to witness heads exploding. Vanguard is the only class that can constantly bring you to that intimate range with your enemy and pop their heads off. Yes yes, there is the sniper that can pop heads from range but I feel that it is cheap to do that. If you wanna "behead" someone, the only proper way to do so is within intimate range.

Nova... well.. umm... I use it to get rid of Husks and spider spawns to save ammo.

Unless I've got this wrong, charge pluses your barriers, nova discharges them for much damage leaving you functionally w/o any cover. Now I know if you have a fast enough cooldown you can minimze that window of vulnerability before you trun aroundn and launch your next charge but there is a still a gap (or always was for me) that got me killed.

Let's see...
I got executed five times.
I ran into the death laser seven times.
I got shot down three times.

Eventually, I just let the stupid MOFO's get torn down by the Reaper's death laser. Worked like a charm.
