who is the best supporting character ? By supporting character i mean himself not dealing much damage but supporting other teamates very well .

Paladin seems good in support as he can draw enemy fire imo

[Lord Chun]

Ummmmm AJ with defensive bubble

[Zero132132]

Krogan Vanguard, IMO. He can revive mid-firefight, can't be staggered from the front, so he's good for objectives, and when he's drawing aggro, the rest of the team can focus more on damaging the enemies without worrying as much about going down. He doesn't have a lot of great damage-dealing options (Biotic Charge is basically it) which is why I regard him as a support character, but as with any character geared towards support, he can still do good damage.

[DullahansXMark]

Paladin, probably, depending on the build. None of his powers are particularly devastating, but they really do help hold the line.

(Snap Freeze and Energy Drain are amazing, don't get me wrong. But they're defensive powers primarily, not offensive)

[jaydubs67]

Duration GI/SI using proxy mine.  Wide-area 20% damage boost, reviving, and objectives.  GI can spot through walls. 


Well, they're good with the supporting part anyway.  Use a Shuriken and now they're "low damage."

My top 3:
Shadow for killing dangerous mooks that players typically ignore while focusing on bosses. Her teleporting powers, cloak, and speed is great for revives and the 4 upload objectives.

GE if he makes his turret a healing one (mine is primarily for restoring shields).

Demolisher for her pylon. Healing, weapon boost, ammo in a tight spot. She's also built for crowd control.

Maybe Geth Engineer, actually, for shield restoration. Or the human infiltrator, if spec'd for duration. Good at revives, can soften enemies with Cryo Blast. Really, there are a number of classes that can do well in that capacity. Asari Adept with warp spec'd for expose and a nice stasis bubble for making certain enemies open to attack. ANY class can be good for helping the team take down enemies faster.

Just don't forget that while you will be a help to your team using these classes, there's no reason you can't do damage at the same time. If you don't have the manifest for it, there's nothing wrong with just making the battle easier for everyone else, but most won't appreciate it much.

Salarian Engineer that remembers to use his decoy.

[Rudest]

Which ever one has a player behind that both enjoys the class and pilots it proficiently

[PsychoticBiotic]

Depends on the team. Quarian Infiltrator if all tech, Drell Adept or AJA for all biotics, and Paladin if all combat.

Although the term "support" is hard to define, since each of these characters can still do a ton of damage on their own.

Justicar. Geth Engineer.

Paladin versus geth. Holy hell that guy soaks up a lot of damage. I respecced my paladin for omni-shield strength over shield recharge today.

Anybody scoring low would claim support as the cause. So try that.

Tips on how to score low:
1. Equip one of the worst weapons in the game. Don't use it.
2. Sit in a corner, peek out to spam your power every two seconds.

Grats, you are now playing support!

[OO629]

Quarian Infiltrator for me.

If you don't think there are ways for classes to substantially increase the effectiveness of the team without getting the damage themselves, you're a fool.

If someone doesn't have the powerful weapons to choose from yet, they can still contribute to a match in a substantial way. A good support character helps either with debuffs or controlling aggro so that the squad can deal damage more aggressively. A Kroguard can draw a lot of aggro and revive even under heavy fire, so the team doesn't have to worry quite as much about death. In the case of a geth engineer's turret, healing shields means less time has to be spent behind cover for players with better weapons. A demolisher's pylon is basically another ammo box. Someone doesn't have to camp to use it well, either. If their CD is low enough, they can spawn 2 grenades and some ammo essentially on command.

This isn't mutually exclusive to dealing damage, but pretending that it doesn't matter is just stupid.

Snap freeze is pretty much offensive power, because it allows you to charge enemy lines, not to mention shoot trough walls. I use Paladin mainly as offensive character.

[BeardyMcGoo]

Justicar. GE. Both female quarians.

[Lars Honeytoast]

It's got to be the Salarian Engineer. That Decoy is a life saver.

[Kirrahe Airlines CEO]

Demolisher, GE, and Paladin in my opinion are the top three support classes. The paladin is a debuff machine, GE is good at restoring shields with the turret if you go that route, and the demolisher is good at resupplying ammo to teammates when the ammo crate is still regenerating ammo. On top of regenerating two grenades per drop so that's a huge plus to other grenade classes.

Paladins are supposed to be both supporting and a front line offense at the same time.
In Dungeons and Dragons, they are sword & shield warriors with healing and buffing spells.

The Paladin in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer is that similiar concept. Supporting the team and destroying the enemies at the same time.

The Paladin was always about having ones cake and eating it. That's why Paladins are badass.

My SE has his Decoy maxed out and that one takes a lot of heat away from the players. Even when doing objectives, a well placed Decoy helps the team a lot.

My QMI is specced for duration and has his Tactical Scan maxed out, so everybody does 25% more damage against the targetted enemy. That with four Arc Grenades (Two from the Warfichter Gear), for crowd control.

Milhouse and Nelson, completely different personality but can both cover Bart in there own capacity.

[RedJohn]

The best support character is the one with the misile launcher in the hand.

[CitizenThom]

Justicar, Paladin, Male Quarian (the second the arc grenades run out)

[Rifneno]

Tough call. I'm going with geth engineer. That healing turret is made of win.

That's how I have my MQI specc'd! Allows me to cloak long enough for the disable objectives, and allows me to feel half useful even when I'm out of grenades. I've built the class with rank 5 grenades for a while, but when I ran out of grenades, all the sudden the character didn't have much to do.
