So I've been wanting to play melee drell, Thane style for a long time now. (didn't managed to unlock drellguard till end of beta) and recently also wanted to play drell adept. I don't have drell or resurgence characters, but judging from the forum, there seem to be absolutely no reason to play drell.

Concepts:

Melee monsters(reave/charge+racial bonus)- outshone by batarian & krogans having melee bonus and tons more survivability to use it properly.

Ultimate secondary biotic(reave)- Outshone by Justicar having reave as well as biotic sphere.

Thoughts? Other races seem to fill a niche, but drells seem to be the only one that cannot effectively use their racial bonuses.

Cluster grenades.

Also no other race can do backflips. BACKFLIPS.

your argument is invalid.

I like them but they are the most dumped on race in the game.

Three drell exist in the entire universe it seems

They purposely live on a planet that kills them just because they like jellyfish. They deserve to go extinct, tbh.

i love using my drell adept pull/reave combo is great and i love the cluster grenades especially on a reaved group of enemies and are great against the atlas and brutes and you can get out of bad situations easily with his speed they are especially good coupled with a vanguard on your team

Seriously, area reave + cluster grenades just wreck things. I've seen two ravagers instakilled at the same time with it.

Drell definitely are outshone by Krogan and Batarians when it comes to melee, but they have other strengths at times.

If those times are Level 20 and nothing sooner.

Just stacking Reave on a single target will decimate any enemy, Banshee included.

I agree that reave and cluster grenades are awesome, they just doesn't work all too well with the character concept/kits/racial bonuses. Now that AJA has reave too, even DA are now obsolete.

I have to say Drell Adept is probably my personal favorite class.

Krogan/Batarian definitely have melee over the Drell (I have never tried it for melee (not my style)).

Why the Drell can be seen as better than the Asari (not knocking on biotic sphere just saying it doesnt obselete). Cluster Grenade is amazing, much higher movement speed, and has a higher weapon starting encumbrance.

Grenades are bad on gold since they are nigh impossible to refill.

For melee, Krogan and Batarian definitely owns Drell. Little off topic, I prefer Krogan melee myself. Backhanding obnoxious phantoms and watching them rag doll. Hell yes.

Reave+Grenade=Win though. <3 Though I mostly use Human or Asari Adept myself.

Drell has enough speed that it can hit 2-3 weapon boxes between rounds depending on the map. Plus not a lot of people use the ammo consumables. I have been doing gold, and gold speed runs for some time, and I use a drell adept most of the time.

I never found cluster grenades to be all that great, personally.  They're a pain in the ass to aim (the hardest of the grenades, which are already hard to aim).  Sure you can blow up stuff with them, but I found the dispersal pattern to be too unpredicable to be able to do that reliably.  I do love Pull+Reave though.  It's second only to Warp+Throw as my favorite biotic combo.  You can massacre trash mobs with that combo, and often faster than an Asari using Warp+Throw.  The only problem is that Pull doesn't work on anything shielded or armored, which means that it's down to grenades or guns for those guys.

I'm disappointed that the justicar is basically a better version of the drell adept.  If you have the justicar, there's really no reason to not choose it over the drell.  As for the vanguard, they were always the weakest vanguard.  Before, the only viable vanguard (IMO) was the human.  At least now the krogan can give it a good run for its money.

I like to roll with a disciple. The guaranteed stun has saved me more than a few times, keeps cooldowns at 200% and with a smart choke it can be accurate at mid range. (plus it will still stun).

Drell Adept > Asari Justicar unless there are a bunch of grenade users on your team.

Drell is a poor melee class, however the Reave / Cluster grenade combo destroys all, with the added bonus of Pull (Some what of a Novelty, Though has some utility )
