We are looking at the Female Quarian for next week's balance changes

I would like it if the extra incinerate damage vs frozen/chilled evolution actually worked on things that are chilled.  That, and perhaps a little turret love.  The issue is not necessarilly the numbers that the turret is supposed to do, but the fact it just kind of sits there instead of agressively attacking the enemy like the geth one does.  Those tweaks would make the class excellent imo.

I support a turret for the girl-Quarian that shoots ravager blood!

All the quarian ladies who are looking for love can come to me. There is enough Gust4v for everyone.

Yay!

If they would fix the freeze combo problem, that would help too.

Am I the only one that find Female quarians to be ok? I was never a fan of cryoblast, so I spam incinerate and turret (for relocation and support fire power , esp. against phantoms and heavies), and squeeze the trigger of my hurricane 5 to do the job.

I do appreciate any buffs for her though.

You're certainly not the only one. Quarian female engineer is quite good (I skip the turret to play gold though).

From my own experience though, I think it's not an easy class to play. At least I was doing it wrong because I was focusing too much on getting damage from powers. The base damage comes from your weapon, and cryoblast and incinerate complement that. A Talon, a Carnifex/Paladin, or even a Graal (I suppose a Hurricane would be great too, though I have not tried it because I don't have it ) are great weapons for her.

The thing is that weapons will do significantly more damage to targets affected by cryoblast (frozen or chilled, it does not matter), and that means that enemies go down quick. And that *works* (I don't know why some people are complaining about cryoblast not working really). Also, cryoblast has a quick cooldown even when using fairly heavy weapons (no need to go for a 200% bonus, 140% is perfectly fine), and that means that you can spam it at will and all your team will benefit from it. Everything will die faster when the quarian chick is around.

The cryo/incinerate synergy is great, especially against armored targets and unprotected mobs. I think some people don't get the fact that in order to trigger the cryo explosion you must *kill* the target with incinerate. And it's great, because it will chill (therefore debuff) all enemies around the target, and that is good not only for you but for the whole team.

Add disruptor ammo and you will be doing thech bursts in addition to cryo explosions.

All in all, I think the quarian female engineer is very fun to play and very effective, not at all a low tier character as some seem to think.

All that being said, a buff is certainly appreciated. However, I must say that I don't have much faith in a possible turret buff. The turret does not need a few percent more damage here and a few more shields there. It needs a complete overhaul to begin to be useful in gold.

By this I hope you mean you are looking at Incinerate, Cryo Blast, and Sentry Turret.  All three could use some work.

Improving her through balance changes is nice and all. But I just wish she could get some changes to make her standout from the Geth Engineer. With the arrival of Male Quarians maybe they can do some work on her turret and let it do periodical scans, maybe release an arc wave instead of flame thrower. or even better add an option wereby Male and Female quarians get beneficial boosts when they are both present.

or give the sentry turret a robot voice; "I kill you. This will shock you.
Mam there is a husk behind you."

Of course fqe should be buffed, I just doubt the forthcoming buffs will do much anything in reality. Probably just something like increase cryo's duration by 2 sec and 10% damage increase for turret

Oh, and then we have all the other underused classes like drell vanguard, human vanguard and human engineer that require looking into

Here is an idea: buff the turret A LOT and give her the infiltrator's Sabotage skill. Because it's really stupid that an engineer has no Sabotage in my opinion. The female qurian infiltrator should then get Energy Drain instead so we don't have to use the Salarian for sniping all the time and also it was a quarian skill (Tali) to begin with... why did it end up being a salarian power...

On another note: the GETH turret says "Sentry Turret" in the status text whenever it kills with the flamethrower (says Geth Turret when it kills with the projectile). Lazy programming?

Yes!
And he's looking at some abilities, I can tell you that!
Because if they just wanted to include a screenshot feature to record more awesome bumbum pictures, they could also do so with the Fem QI! The same goes for balance of jigglyness!
I think they saw the usage rate of the FQE dropping and decided to do something.

This is fantastic news, many thanks. and props to the original poster for raising this

Oh I'm not looking forward to more female quarian engineers.

I can't help but staring... -.-

Buffing the Jiggly Quarian Bumbum? Awesome.

Her turret is a serious letdown, especially after the arrival of the awesome Geth Turret.

I'm guessing the turret will get the love.

Human Vaguard is one of the best classes in the game.  It just doesn't work well unless you are host.  Balance changes aren't going to be able to fix that.

The other two could use some work, but neither is really bad presently.   Putting Pull on the DV was a bad idea honestly.

Okay people, again, changes like that are not possible with weekly balance changes, so just stop asking for them already.

@aethosis: Not really, bugs cause HV to get killed a lot even when hosting. Also, his damage output is poor compared to any other class. When did you last see a HV?

[molecularman]

Ignore this

Cryo and Turret can be buffed hard with noone complaining.

The only other class with Cryo is the Human Infiltrator, and Hunam Infiltrator is not the most powerful one.

Why would anyone complain about Incinerate getting buffed?  Only one truly great class has it, and the actual damage from Incinerate is not why it's really good.

So Happy!
