Is the Saber completely necessary for this build?. I've been looking to try my GE, but I really don't know what to do with it. Too many paths..



I have Overload set for max damage and recharge, Geth Turret set for max damage as in guide, and max Health giving me a 413 H/1238 S. I dont find Hunter mode particularly useful other than fighting Geth and have that set to recharge my powers 20% faster for Overloading quicker. I carry a Carnifex and either a Hornet or Tempest. Have no problems running Gold with it.

Tailor your build for you. Alot of people probably dont even have a Saber.

No, 15% power damage.


Remember, I'm weighing my build against yours here, with my build you'll still have 10% extra power damage, making the difference 5%.


Not everything can be headshotted or is moving all the time (running phantoms, brutes, Banshees, Altases, etc.) It's why I favour as much weapon damage as possible.


Fair enough, I mainly use the GE against cerberus and geth.

My point was that with the 20% extra headshot damage you can go for range/mobility in hunter mode and extra capacity and while gaining these perks you can still basically do the same amount of weapon damage against the cerberus and the geth, not so much the reapers, and all you sacrifice is 5% power damage (overload with your build: 363, my: 352). I would argue that headshotting a phantom isn't all that difficult and who cares about dealing with atlases anyway, haha.

But, again, against the reapers I definitely see your point.

Dunno about headshots--that power damage boost is very helpful if you're going all offense on the turret. Also, on console at least, it's far from easy to get all headshots with the Saber, especially with a rate of fire increase. It kicks like...a thing that kicks a lot.



I play on console (360), and always have my 20 headhots medal before the end of wave 3 when using the Saber. Not saying that I am godlike or anything, just that it is a headshot machine once you get familiar with the kick and exactly when the crosshairs have aligned enough for the shot to land. I do have a lot of hours with it though.

Also, we're talking an extra 5% worth of power damage here. Not exactly crucial.



Consoles have Aim Assist. Alot easier pulling headshots than on a PC.

In my experience, and I have played a lot of FPS games on PC, nothing beats the precision of a mouse, but you might be right, I haven't tried ME3 on PC.

SABER BUILD

Was your original thread name, you changed it after we just said that the saber sucks in this build.... Bet your voice recording in Sony vegas now to whine about other weapons being bad and that your way of playing is best ain't it?


Do you think you could go be a troll somewhere else? Someone trying to help others doesn't deserve this sort of abuse.

The Saber is good with the ROF increase. I use it on the TS and take headshot damage in the passive tree and the Marksman tree-plus the TS has stability to counter the Sabers recoil. 

The GPS is awsome on the GE with the Geth weapon bonus.

It still says Saber Build.

y so inflammatory?

-----------------

Anyway, I usually just slap on a GPR and let my turret do most of the damage. Probably not the best setup though. I don't really want to use the Claymore, since I'm already spamming it on GI and Human Soldier (Fire one of the most powerful weapons in the game twice in rapid succession? Yes please) and I like variety.

Since when is critisism the Same as trolling?

Get your facts straight, if I disagree with a point in the build I got the right to deliver critisism.

I only disagree with the saber being used, the rest of the build is fine. Gave it 3 stars as mediocre due to the saber.

No, it is not. I state that there are many viable weapons. Epic fail on your part, now leave the thread sir troll, you have nothing to contribute.

Yes in ME3 Sorry. Even in ME2 you had the option of turning it off.

No, that is not the trolling part. You failed because you claimed I said something I did not, before even listening to it. Definition of fail.

This. Charge shot-->aim-->overload-->release shot-->dead anything not a(n) Atlus/Prime/Banshee/Brute/Ravager.

Saber is already accurate enough, you don't need that passive. Geth healing vs damage turret is all about personal preference, you don't need a reason beyond that.

This build has been figured out a long time ago, you don't see it often because most people don't have a saber. ESPECIALLY a Saber X. tf?

Agree with Stardusk on this one.  Definitely a dick move.

The GPS is awesome, period. I expect Bioware to come to their senses and nerf it, such a boring gun.

Wesus - the video isn't even up yet and you're already shooting the guy down. Let's watch the video first and then we'll have all the information to discuss the build properly.

Hence my reluctance to even bother making a GE guide. They are a dime a dozen. But many people askedm so I did it.

You claimed in your title : saber build

I claimed saber is bad on this build

You modify the title and Call me a troll. Nowhere in your original post did you say other weapons would do fine, you said or modified (idk and idc) : builds may differ.

Its a saber build but the saber isn't prescriptive.... Nice one.

You really think that the aim assist is better than the precision a good mouse offers?
Especially since its behavior is sometimes... questionable.  <_<

Sounds very interesting... Been looking forward to GE still (Hadn't unlock it).

But only have Saber I, which weights a ton. What's your other weapon recommendations?

Cool, just watched your AJ Bulwark Build over on the tube, needless to say I rebuilt her, before she was all about running around and trying to get the bubble in place, but people always just shot the **** out of anything before they entered it, now the bubble's all mine. :)

Also good to get some tips on the saber, have it on 3 and still can't get to grips with it.
