or VorchaSent with Claymore 6,0,6,6,6 (Full HealthReg,WepDam/0/Damage,Quantity,Damage/WeapDam,HeadshootDam,WeapDam/FullHealth and 75%+melee when melee kill)

or GethEnge with GPS 5/5/6/6/4 (50%shields, Radius/PowRecharge,PowDam/Chain,Recharge,Chain/Damage and Capacity,PowDam,WeapDam/Health)

I also play a whole lot of other classes and weapons but these are the most entertaining for me atm :wizard:

Derek, "most effective" is subject to a lot of personal interpretation, isn't it? I find Drell Adept 6/6/6/0/6 against Reapers with Grenade Capacity, Power Amplifier Module and Carnifex to be the most effective at locking down spawns and generally wreaking havoc, but then I find Quarian Female Infiltrator 6/0/6/6/6 against Geth or Cerberus to be the most effective at support, objective running, eliminating priority targets and keeping the team fighting.

Fun builds I don't take unless I'm playing with people I know can compensate for my diminished effectiveness include Batarian Soldier 6/4/6/6/4 with Striker Assault Rifle and MOAR Inferno Grenades and Drell Vanguard 6/3/6/5/6 with Reegar Carbine and Geth Pulse SMG. Still haven't unlocked Batarian Sentinel but when I do I want to throw nets at everything, because it will be fun but from what I hear not very effective.

Most fun. Krogan Sentinel with a maxed out Mattock built for melee. I also enjoy my Salarian Engineer with Geth SMG and my Asari and Drell Adepts with Carnifex.

I also have fun playing a Geth and Vorcha, but I'm not exactly great with them yet. Although I'm getting better with my Geth Engineer and using the Reeger Carbine and a SMG with Ultralight Materials nearly maxed out. Can't snipe worth a crap. I kind of avoid Infiltrators for that reason. And I get bored with Vangaurds.

The only class I regularly play Gold with is my Human Cryo-Infiltrator with Claymore. Sniping is for sissies.

Fun classes are the Vorcha and Batarian Sentinel, and Asari Vanguard built for max random no-cooldown.

Of the six classes, this is what I usually roll with (bear in mind I do not have all characters unlocked yet... for example, I can't speak about the Vorcha because I don't have one Image IPB ):

Adept
Ex-Cerberus with Carnifex, specced for biotic explosions. Lash and Smash are great fun. This is my second favorite character.

Soldier
Krogan with Mattock and full Carnage. Seriously can't not laugh at the wiggly tail, the headbutts, and the "MRWAHAHAHA!"

Engineer
Either Geth with Carnifex specced for health/shields, no Hunter Mode, healing turret... or Male Quarian with Carnifex and full Tactical Scan and full Arc Grenades.

Sentinel
Turian with Mattock, full health/shields, maxed Warp for damage, maxed Overload for chain/shields, and 4 points in Tech Armor for damage resistance. This is my absolute favorite, not necessarily because it's the most fun (i.e. Ex-Cerberus and Krogan Soldier have more of a fun factor because of the rambo craziness you can pull off), but because it is my most efficient at dealing with any enemy type and it is my most comfortable as far as "this is the roll I was born to fill" kind of way.

Infiltrator
Geth with either Geth Plasma Shotgun or Reegar Carbine. Full Tactical Cloak and Hunter Mode. Can only play a few matches before Hunter Mode gives me a major headache, so not the most fun because of that (although the character itself is fun to play and I like Hunter Mode... just not the intense brightness).

Vanguard
Either Human Female with Carnifex and fully specced Biotic Charge and Nova... or Krogan with Reegar Carbine fully specced with everything except Carnage.

For me it's the set-up I've been rocking since the demo.

SI with regular Widow. Energy Drain specced for maximum damage. Smack on a power amplifier module and I'm ready to go.

Cloak-->ED-->Shoot. Kills shielded enemies in one cloak cycle.

I've recently come to love the Claymore Soldier (never got into it until I mastered reload cancelling) and also enjoy playing adepts and vanguard, but I've been playing the SI Widow for so long that it's probably my go to set up.

Both the drell are effective favorites for me. I generally do take 3 ranks in pull because I still find it quite usefull even on gold, though it is more usefull on the drellguard. The are great at hit and run and dispite their statictical lack of sturdiness I find I go down less with them than I do with other characters that have greater numerical protection. I do spec for max protection reave and area reave on the DA.

I usually have the most success with HSe BE-Boom! with Hurricane III & Structural Ergonomics IV. When playing for fun, though, the more obscure the better. Lately my most fun is HI Sticky Grenade Scorpion (I call it Fourth of July), or berserk Claymore VSo.

Most effective... Geth Infiltrator with Claymore/Melee build or Krysae build.  Drell Adept or Male Quarian with grenade gear.  10-12 minute gold run clears every time with any of those.  Others are more like 12-16 minutes.  Most fun for me is probably Vanguards though (at least the Asari and Human ones).

Novaguard is my first love in this game. But it's hard to get a good random team to play one on Gold so I haven't played HV for a while now =/ And I'd really love to play a team of Vanguards but this bug -.-

My most played class on Gold probably is Salarian Infiltrator with BW. 6/6/6/6/0. The best all-round sniper out there with great survivability.

Claymore GI — pure death machine when you know how to use it. I won't even bother to argue that it's OP in right hands. But it's still fun if you're pushing yourself to get the best time.

Drell Adept (currently with Talon) is amazing. I'm in love with Reave and Cluster nades combo.And I love the idea of dodging bullets on GI + Adrenaline mod and this guy doesn't even need this mod :) Funny enough I find this guy is almost as OP in good hands as GI :D

Krogan Vanguard. Sometimes it's soooo good to be a tank (especially after playing squishy GI/Drell/AA). And headbutting everything including the walls and teammates is just priceless. FOR TUCHANKA!

Asari Vanguard with Paladin. My Stasis Sniper :) Deadly against Cerberus. And I really like how she looks (Black with Red Stripes 2 camo).

I also like Turian Soldier, Asari Adept and Justicar, Geth Engi, FQI, MQE and MQI, Vorcha... Huh. I guess I can see the value of every class now even though I haven't mastered them all. And I'm pretty sure that every class is fun to play in the right team. At least that's how it works for me.

Hey Folks,

This is a fairly common question being asked on the forums, but I would like to add to it.

Although you consider it your most effective build / weapon combination, is it also the one you are most entertained with?

I know, for myself, I have builds and combos that are effective for my style of play but, when I am trying to play for fun, I will often have other builds and combinations that I enjoy more for pure entertainment value (you know, teh lolz, as it were).  After all who doesn't enjoy tossing enemies around with the Krogan heavy melee once in a while, or yelling "Yoink!" every time you use lash on a Cerberus trooper (OK, maybe that last one is just me)?

Cheers!

When i got to the 'Yoink!' part i lol-ed so hard :D

I am not always entertained by the most effective build, I can say that for sure.

Mostly, I find each of the classes in ME3 multiplayer at least somewhat fun. The only thing I do find is certain weapons are bad and they also aren't fun. Arc Pistol is an example of that. I mean, it was actually entirely different in ME2 and was very entertaining. Even if it was brought down in power, now it is just boring.

Infiltrators for me are highly effective and fun (actually, I am most bored by the Geth Infiltrator, but it is way powerful). Soldiers are mostly ineffective but still fun.

The class I find the least interesting and also not that powerful, is the Sentinel. You CAN play them effectively, but I never bother, because they just are fairly boring. jmo.

MQE with a Falcon X.

Could play it all day and never get bored, plus it does rather well. :D


Agreed 10000%. Throw on some disruptor ammo and it's like the 4th of July every match! I like the utility it has to support the group with Tac Scan, and the arc grenades being able to set up/off tech bursts for the group is a great bonus. So, as he is plenty effective on his own with this setup he can play well with others. In the right hands he can dominate a match, and with a competent group, can help the match go faster and smoother!Image IPB

I know how to use HV very well.  I don't get 10 minute gold clears with it... more like 13 on a good day.  What I do get is 32 minute gold solo clears with it as opposed to 22 with the Geth Infiltrator.

I know that you know how to play it but I didn't get you were associating top tier to ClearTimes: for me the clear times are one of the things I care less about in this game

My most entertaining class is also my most effective: Vorcha soldier.

All of my friends either don't own this game or don't own an xbox so I play with randoms which in turn makes playing gold feel like a chore to me rather then fun. This class fixed that problem for me. Now I can enter a lobby full of my fellow randoms and feel comfortable knowing that between this class and my skills/knowledge-of-the-game that I'll have damn good chance of completing the mission.

As for entertaining, you gave me a flamethrower. What's not entertaining about that!? I read other people's posts about "gettting into character" while playing Krogan, but this class is the only one to cause me to do the same. Also, I can't help but yell out "Fire! Fire! Fire!" in my best Beavis voice while roasting Phantoms to death. Seriously, give whoever decided to add Flamer to the Vorcha characters an "atta-boy!" for me cause they are my favorite person/people at Bioware.

What the heck am I supposed to associate it with?  I almost always win (only exception is if I'm in a lame pub and I get randomly sync killed... and this happens most often on Vanguards).  The only difference is how fast.
