Just a thought. Any way anyone can add to it would be good.

well you know what your talking about, nothing wrong with what you said, how about making some brand-new abilities though. there are alot of orginal ideas a Quarian biotic could have. like a biotic drone that auto-casts warp. that kind of stuff is ually what draw's peoples attention, also incediary grenade is a combat grenade I do belive. no tech or biotic in it. but your on the right track!

I’m loving the ideas people are coming up with. I’m still drawing the next one but I might as well put up there powers now. I’ve heard a lot of people say they want a Drell Infiltrator so here’s my idea for one.
 
Drell infiltrator
 
Most of their movements would be the same as the other Drell characters but I thought it would be cool if there heavy melee was similar to the N7 Slayer’s. They’d cloak then appear next to a nearby enemy and attack with an omni-blade.
 
Powers
 
Tactical Cloak
 
Decoy
 
Override
Rank 1: Override            
Hack an enemies systems and control synthetics remotely. Causes a neural shock in organics to incapacitate them for a short duration. You are exposed while controlling synthetics. Break the connection by pressing the power button again.
Recharge Speed: 7 sec
Hack Duration: 12 sec
 
 
 
Rank 2: Recharge Speed
Increase recharge speed by 25%.
Recharge Speed 5.25 sec

Hack Duration: 14.4 sec
 
 
 
Rank 4: Duration/Detonate
 
Duration
Increase hack duration by 50%.
Hack Duration: 20.4 sec
 
Detonate
Increase force, damage and impact radius of tech bursts against organics by 50%
 
 
 
Rank 5: Over Clock/Area Neural Shock
Over Clock
Remotely controlled synthetics cause 50% more damage and take 300 damage themselves when the connection is broken.
 
Area Neural Shock
Increase impact radius when used against organics by 1.5 meters.
 
 
 
Rank 6: Shield Boost/Expose
Shield Boost
Increase your own shield strength by 100% while controlling a synthetic.
 
Expose
Increase weapon and power damage taken by organic targets by 15%.
 
 
 
(This power let’s you actually take control of synthetics. Your infiltrator would crouch down and then your view would jump over to the synthetic)
 
This power may be a bit to complicated.

Yea it seems difficult, and what if you get incapacitated while controlling the mech? But otherwise a cloak would activate and the enemies are forced to target the mech?.
But overrall interesting character ability why not add something that rewards you for hitting weak points such as an ability where depending on the number of shots fired and hitting an enemies head, activate it and the next shot will be amplified immensely or work it like the krogan rage mechanic enough headshots and you enter Thane-mode seeing how nearly every Drell their either assassins or highly trained infiltrators.

Cloakless Infiltrator
Chargless Vanguard

New Powers explained on page 1


Vorcha (Cloakless) Infiltrator

Blood Lust
Stunlock
Snap Freeze
Heavy Melee Cryo Blades


Baterian (Chargless) Vanguard

Adrenaline Rush
Reave
Shockwave (this character gets faster cooldowns on the shockwave than the Baterian Sentinel)
Heavy Melee: Biotic Punch with incendiary and disruptor effects



Another concept

Volus Engineer

Remote Controlled Drone
Defence Drone (Same as the one Tali Uses)
Personal Defence Turret
Heavy Melee Shock Baton

Volus are unique in the fact that they are limited to pistols and smg's. Their main strength is in the casting department. Keep them away from the battlefield and use your remote controlled drone to cause mayhem. This drone has an indefinate  duration as long as it's not destroyed.


Remote Controlled Drone:

 This drone has 3 attacks. Gattling gun, fire rockets and self destruct (which is automatically done when health is depleted). The drone can be deployed many times in a match. Cooldown periods are 20 seconds after deployment. This is because it takes time for the omnitool to fabricate these drones. But deployments can last indefinitely as long as the drone isn't destroyed. This drone draws attention away from the volus, but in the event of getting shot at, the volus has two other powers do deal with this.

Rank 1: Weapon damage + 10%
Rank 2: Drone's shields + 10%
Rank 3: Drone's self destruct damage + 10%
Rank 4a: Self destruct radius + 40%
Rank 4b: Self destruct damage + 30%
Rank 5a: Rocket Damage + 20%
Rank 5b: Gattling Gun Damage + 20%
Rank 6a: Drone Shields + 30%
Rank 6b: Weapon Damage + 10%


Personal Defence Turret:

 This turret fires bolts of lightning at any enemies that get close. In addition it can fire fireballs at armoured targets. This power is limited to 1 deployments per match. But thankfully it can be repaired.

Rank 1: Armour & Shields at 1500 each.
Rank 2: Fireball Damage + 20%
Rank 3: Lightning Damage + 20%
Rank 4a: Fireball Damage + 20%
Rank 4b: Lightning Damage + 20%
Rank 5a: Armour and Shields increased by 500 points each
Rank 5b: Spare Turret (if your turret gets destroyed, you can deploy a second one during the match)
Rank 6a: Shield Restoration (allies that get close to the turret will have their shields restored)
Rank 6b: Gattling Gun. In addition to lightning bolts and fire balls, the turret will have a mid/long range gattling gun


Volus weaknesses.

Very low health and shields. (On average the volus can take up to 3 hits. Make this 5 with fitness maxed out). On gold and platinium matches, this is reduced to 2 hits with fitness maxed out and 1 hit with no fitness at all.
Moves very slowly. Volus are not very mobile, which is why they have a remote controlled turret.
Banshee Magnet: Banshees have a tendancy to attack the volus first.
Weapon Limitations: Volus can only carry pistols and SMG's.
Weapon Damage: Volus have very little damage output with guns.
Weapon Recoil: Volus get an additional 30% extra recoil to all guns, making them effective only at close range.
Lack of agilities. No combat rolls or hops. Cannot vault over cover, cannot bend knees making most cover positions un usable.
Volus don't have the missile launcher. Instead they fire a wrist missile instead. This has exactly the same effect as the missile launcher that other races carry, but some gamers might find it a bit strange.
On Platinium and Gold matches, 100% of the enemies of the map will head towards the volus. So many matches become a game of defend the volus.

Volus Strengths:

Most powerful power damage. The power damage output of a volus will put all other races to shame. It is their only true strength. Keep your volus alive, and you have a powerful ally.

Shockbaton: Volus have a very powerful baton that will kill unprotected enemies and does a lot of damage to shields/barrier and armour. Sadly the volus will have difficulty getting close enough to perform a heavy melee, since they have very little health and shields.

100% of health regenerates: Volus have the least amount of health of all races. But the tiny amount of health they do have will completly regenerate. Volus also have the fastest shield regeneration. But that is also because they their shields are very weak.

[Abraham_uk]

Have I added too many weaknesses to the Volus to make them viable for Platinium and Gold matches?

With the Volus, I wanted a glass cannon, with a couple of very powerful strengths, balanced out by a lot of extreme weaknesses.

Like a DPS Mage fantasy role playing games they have abilities that will deciminate enemies very quickly. But they need to be protected all the time. Also like a true DPS mage, they have weapon limitations.

The point of the volus is to have extreme strengths and weaknesses. So only trully skilled players can excel at this class. Also fitness is a bit useless on voluses.

I wanted it to be a very high-risk/high-reward power. While controlling an enemy, your own health and shields are displayed so if you’re shot, you’ll know. The connection would be broken if you are killed or if you are staggered. The connection can also be broken at any time by the player.
 
It would indeed be a very dangerous move but considering you could control an Atlas or a Geth Prime, I think it would be worth it.
 
I was actually thinking of a kind of damage amplifier power that got stronger with each kill of the same type of enemy but I couldn’t work out a good evolution tree for it.

It’s an interesting idea but I think there’s a worry of the player becoming frustrated with the volus. They might get into a situation where they have all this power but can’t stay alive long enough to use them and other players may not know they need to protect them.
 
I like the Baterian Chargless Vanguard. I think he would do really well on a higher difficulty game.

The announcer who tells players what the objectives are will say "protect the volus at all costs". This would let the players know that the volus needs protection. With some objectives such as escourting, this could be problematic, because the volus is very slow.

I’ve been begging for a biotic character with a bubble shield since day one and I like the idea of immunity on a time limit. Rank 5 and 6 may be a bit overpowered. I think biotic explosions need to take more effort to set up.
 
I know a lot of people have asked for a purely defence/support type of character but I’d be sort of weary about using one. If there was a way to build them to be a bit more selfish, like there was an option to make them helpful to the team or helpful to the player...

I'm not seeing it :/ I mean its only what, 2-3 explosions if you take the duration upgrade, every few seconds. They of course would be average strength (meaning they could probaly take down a foot trooper on silver) and when you compare it to the fury who can BE something every 1-2 seconds, I'm not seeing any overpoweredness. its more like an avearge retailation, just so you can actually do something while your standing there with that bubble.

And as for your odd request to be more selfish, why not just set up a barricade for yourself in one room and shoot anything that moves past it? I would treat him more like my asari justicar, who I have set up for pure defense, and then she destroys with conventional weapons.  he also is not capable of making BE's on his own, however pull feild is very helpful for setting up[ BE's for others

EDIT: doubled time for return warp and re-formatted, now only 2-3 return warps are made instead of nearly six. you were right on that one, to many BE setups. But I think rank 6 is still pretty good.

I wish we could see more Geth, they're my favorite race, als. It is somewhat hard to make new classes that fit into them, though I did have an idea for a geth shock trooper

ask and ye shall recieve
I'm debating whether if it would be classified as a vanguard or soldier considering the tactical jump pack. So here's my spin on the shock trooper. Basically the type to jump into groups of enemies softened by hailfire pulse. And yes Ares mode is an obligatory mode for geth. Shock and awe are the key elements I'm looking at.

Good edit. It feels more balanced now.

Selfish was the wrong word. I should have said more beneficial to your own combat capabilities then to the groups defence, similar to the justicar’s biotic sphere.

Compared to the others I’ve already mentioned, they’re a bit dull. A human vanguard, a human solider and an Asari Sentinel.
 
My idea behind the whole group was that these are the emergency reserves. The people you wouldn’t normally see on the battle field. Either because they’re civilians or covert operatives.
 
I’ll just list them with the character concepts:
 
Turian Adept – a covert operative
 
Female Human Solider – a private security solider
 
Krogan Engineer – “I just fix stuff! What the hell am I doing in a war!?”
 
Asari Sentinel – a medic
 
Drell Infiltrator – just another assassin so not that original.
 
Male Human Vanguard – a civilian trained by Asari. (Might draw this guy next)
 
 
And as the Asari Sentinel would probably look exactly the same as the other Asari characters, I won’t bother drawing them and just post my ideas for her now.
 
Asari Medic Sentinel

I think I did that to get some use for some skills I think need more use, like how Energy Drain is seemingly everywhere compared to Overload and Incendiary Grenades are restricted to two Soldiers that I (personally) never see played unless I'm doing it.  Plus there's the issue of game balance and the fact that you've already got three balanced skills compared to a new one that will need balancing, tweaking and that there'll be a number of egomaniacs complaining that the skill is overpowered.  But, in the interest of fairness, I think I can come up with something.  Give me a second...

...and I got it.  In fact, let me go into more detail.  Ahem.

Nice! from just describing a class shortly and not knowing what you were doing to making a full art concept and new power full fledged character!
I like the idea of the supplement drone, but seeing as how you were worried about making a overpowered power. I think you actually wisk making it a bit to weak, the last 2 evolutions are fine, setup for tech or BE is a great final evolution. But the sheild boost could stand to be almost twice what it is, seeing as how 100 sheild boost isnt that much, but 200 could bring her up to a sentinel's tank prowess if fitness is maxed.

Really well thought out. It feels very balanced and I agree that Overload isn’t used enough.
 
I agree with Phoenix535 about the shields. I think you’ve got some wiggle room before it becomes overpowered. The one thing I would suggest is adding a down side to the power. Possibly a time limit or some kind of penalty like how barrier adds to cool-down time or the movement speed penalty you get in devastator mode.
 
Also, nice appearance idea.
