The Reegar Carbine however, gets a huge damage multiplier vs shields.

I don't like the Reegar Carbine because of it's short range. I'm absolutely terrible at CQC, so the Reegar doesn't fit my play style at all.

The Arc Pistol was buffed recently (I think at the same time as the FQE), and I like it because of it's flexibility (you can use reasonably powerful charged shots or have an insane rate of fire with regular shots).

Funny... I am the only one that likes the eviscerator on the engineer? it is reasonable on medium range, good for close, and it is pretty light.

I was in your camp before I maxed the Wraith and Talon both of which completely outclass the Eviscerator.

It hits harder than the Carnifex, and is very lightweight for a shotgun. It's underrated imo.

yeah.. sadly I dont have them at high levels... I wanted the talon, the spread on it is pretty nice and even if its a tad weaker it has more shells and fires faster... making me jelous yeah?

lolwut? the talon does more damage per shot, has a bigger clip, and a faster rate of fire, and is less affected by enemy armor because it fires less pellets. It outclasses the Eviscerator in every way imaginable.

oooh... I thought that having more pellets was better ... well.. now I am really jelly...

Against armor, that's always a disadvantage (but even more so on Gold) because enemy armor reduces the damage of each individual pellet. The Talon fires less pellets, but they do more damage. I'm not sure exactly how many pellets each gun fires, but for example:

Shotgun A fires 8 pellets. Each pellet's damage is reduced by 50, (50 * 8 = 400) therefore 400 damage is lost.

Shotgun B fires 5 pellets. Each pellet's damage is also reduced by 50, (50 * 5 = 250) therefore 250 damage is lost.

Now imagine shotgun B already does more damage per shot, and has a faster rate of fire than shotgun A, and it's pretty easy to see how it's clearly the superior weapon against armor.

hum.... I see... well... now I have to get a talon.... but knowing my luck... I will max every single weapon and character *gold at least*  before I get it even to lv 2 or 3...

now I dont know if I buy spectre packs for the gears... or premium for the weapons....

She needs a buff, but if they simply fixed the bugs related to her skills, she'd be much more viable.

While you guys are busy trying to make her work to the most of her effectiveness, I'll be here with my Salarian Engie.

I wouldn't call her a powerhouse, but she isn't nearly as bad as people claim her to be. Finding the turret to be quite good now post buff. Scorpion/Falcon are good choices with disruptor ammo (although I usually run a Paladin).

Yeah, that is pretty much what I think. I've only used her rocket turret, but it is pretty good with good placement.  If her flamethrower turret as roughly as powerful as my geth eng's flamethrower (without hunter mode)it should be great too. It is all in what you want.

I actually prefer a rocket turret over a rocket drone because the turret stays in the strategic place you throw it.

The rocket drone has better targeting than the sentry turret though.

Although the sentry turret buff to decrease the minimum distance before it will fire a rocket, and significantly decreasing the cooldown on rockets solved a lot of the issues, especially with enemies dodging them, and the turret firing at walls instead of the nearby enemies.

The turret still fires at walls fairly often. Just re-deploy it into a better location if you notice it really wants to attack the husk behind the wall.

[Silkerin]

well.. now I have to decide.. if I want more CC... or More damage... because I probably will deploy the turret closer to the enemies so the rocket wont be used that much...

[defleshing]

this thread was an amusing read.

[Aiiro]

I love playing as her. The turret isn't as good as the geth turret, (but better than the drone in my opinion) sure, but it does help with Banshees and Brutes- as well as distracting enemies, and providing a little crowd control with the placement. Helps in tight spots a lot of times, too. Incinerate is still pretty good. I don't like cryo blast, however... she should have a different power, honestly.

[Killahead]

I wouldn't call her crazy good, far from it, but I love using her, even more so now that the turret actually does decent damage (I've always said that her turret should be the biggest damage dealer, the geth one heals and the human one can move around). I find that disruptor ammo is a necessity though, to deal with shields. As much as I want the freeze combo for incinerate to be fixed, I don't mind it that much since the armor damage option is very good.

Then again, I love underdog classes. The game should be balanced, of course, I have been actively advocating that, but I like having options like the Drell Vanguard and the FQE. Forces you to alter your play style and makes for a harder challenge on gold.

[Uhh.. Jonah]

She is fantastic against Reapers. I spam Cyro Blast on everything I see, and pair that with incinerate and a mattock with a piercing mod, she eats armor for breakfast.

[DarkSpooky]

I think she is third tier, not unusable. However that having been said, would rather play better class. I find myself usually playing as Geth Engineer with damage turret, overload for shock and shield, with sabre for the BOOM HEADSHOT!

Works like a charm.

For those who say she rules, show us a video, or even better a solo run. Note though I want to see any video in gold however.

I think all this chest thumping and slamming of other players takes away from the game. I hope it's not normally like that on gold because I stive to get good enough to play there.

On Bronze with random players there's usually a sense of we're all in together. Hell, it's even to a fault where many of us go down trying to revive people in a situation that is too hot. We might not play well. We might not collectively play as we should. But we at least *try* to play as a team, and not competitors.

[IndigoVitare]

Amazing class. Massively underated.

The Sentry Turret does more damage than the Geth one, despite what people here seem to think. Unlike the Geth one it fires rockets. Cryo and Incinerate are a good combo (even if the bonus is broken on chilled targets).

I play it on Gold and the rocket spec turret still gets a good portion of all kills, by itself, and contributes massively to my dps against other targets killed by Cryo/Incinerate or my Talon.

And I usually come first or second in the score. Quarian Engineer is, in my opinion, one of the top non-infiltrator classes in the game, and one of the best engineers.

[GGW KillerTiger]

Yea except the turrets cryo rounds don't ever seem to freeze targets ever ..... Hell I never even seen an enemy get chilled by it ..... What? Does the turret have Cryo Ammo .01?

[NuclearTech76]

Underrated class IMO.

I ran the falcon with cryo rounds and spammed cryo blast with the turret out. You're not going to top the scoreboard if you have good teammates but she has great crowd control and debuff ability. They do however need to fix incinerate to make her more a damage dealer.

I'm loving my FQE - Turret is better since the buff and the incinerate cryo combo works brilliantly. Throw a Talon or Hurricane on her and your good to go

This is an understatement.   This guy is very good.  People should listen to what he says.

The recent buff to FQE has made her amazing. The turret now actually does damage and can tank and cc. She is one of my favourite classes right now.
