Other than the Salarian, Engineers are unplayable

Scoreboard-wise, they do not compete, but in actually helping out a team any and all of the Engineers are fun to play, and worthwhile on a team. My assists medal is usually out the roof.
I play my FQE with an Eviscerator with a 6/6/6/5/3 build, and can do pretty well on gold. Once she gets a buff... *crosses fingers* hopefully she will do even better, and if I ever get my Wraith levelled up enough to use. I would love to see some other version of a FQE as they did with the AA and AJ, but until then I feel pretty comfortable with her. I can solo Bronze with her (FINALLY!), do fine in Silver, and survive and help on Gold.
Edit: Got dropped into a Sur'kesh (whatever that buggy map is called)/Gold/Cerberus match last night... friends didn't tell me they had already started the match. LOL! No equipment, just my poor, un-suspecting FQE........... and I did fine. Maybe got downed 3x? By Phantoms.

I thought the Infiltrator version would be even better, but in practice Arc Grenade + Incinerate >>> Cloak + Arc Grenade, surprisingly.

1) Male QE is one of the most powerful classes. Arc grenades let you clear spawns and make kill streaks. Incinerate + arc grenade makes spectacular fire explosions, the first is good for softening big mobs and killing trash. Last but not least - tac scan allows you to guide team efforts against dangerous mobs. One of my most favourite.
2) GE is damn good supporting class with overload and turret(healing or DPS). You can also make him deadly Geth infantryman with flamer turret and HM.

Not even their max score potentials.
Spec them right and they can score hog with the rest of em'!

So you chose the lazy power DLC to make your point as to why an entire class is obsilete?
Human engineer is a tech master beyond compare, gethgineer can heal himself AND others.
Quarian engineer is the only one that is arguably not very good, and the devs are planning a buff for her next week.
Disagree about the FQE. Cryo Blast is the best debuffer in the game. 25% debuff to all enemies, additional 25% debuff to armored opponents. So while not a great offensive class, the FQE is a great teammate to have.

Nah.
Death is the best debuffer in the game.

I know you are right in this, I do, but mainly I am a support type of player. I mainly keep an eye out on the rest of my team with my Engineers, stand back, defuff, or freeze (I pretty much only play my HE, or FQE when I play my Engineers, which is at least 3-4 matches a night), and toss my turret where I see it's needed most. Same kind of playstyle I have with my Adepts, and Infiltrators.

Geth Engineer would like to have a word with you.
Seriously, perhaps one of the most useful characters for multiplayer gold.

LOL Yah, thanks Z! Had to use all my rockets and medigels though! But yah, Z is simply an AMAZING player, and I am totally in AWE of her skills! Been dead in spectator mode in games with her on Gold, and I'm always like... HOW does she DO THAT!!!

I play the HE about 80% of the time. It's an amazing all-rounder, excellent for when you don't know what enemy you're going to get.
I've also noticed the drone can be positioned just so to completely stop a Brute in its tracks. It's really nifty

Tbh, I don't think many people would consider that a boast.TheCourier_1 wrote...
Not trying to boast or anything, but my Human Engineer (a support class) outscored the OP's Asari Vanguard on Dagger/Reaper/Silver about 1.5 weeks ago.

You mean SI energy drain.
HI, GI, and QI do not have a power tailored specifically to remove specific defenses. Sabotage will only remove shields from weak enemies if you spec for backfire.
If all of the infiltrators were better at removing enemy defenses than Engineers, then all of the infiltrators would use sniper rifles, and the "SI is the best sniper, all others should use a shotgun" mentality would die already. you would also probably see fewer Geth Engineers with sniper rifles, because if the GI had a power to remove shields, he would clearly be the superior sniper in every imaginable situation.
It might also be worth mentioning a cloaked proximity mine doesn't do much less damage than energy drain used by an engineer and it definitely does more damage than incinerate. Plus, there is that little debuff thingie.
HIs have that debuff as well, wouldn't that be support or what, that thing specific to engineers?
And QI.. Well, not all infiltrators are top-tier infiltrators.
"What can a GE do against armor?"
HURDUR... It can use a Geth Plasma Shotgun HURDUR
GPS ignores armor resistance to damage. DUH.

Also, turret spec'ed for armor damage and flamethrower. Eats armored targets ALIVE...
Oh and my QI would like to have a word with Molecularman about not being top tier.
Bring a pair of binoculars. You don't want her to spot you first.
