 ... the N7 Paladin SENTINEL.

Thats just my opinion.

But mainly, my point is, everytime I come to play as an engineer, I look at that row of characters and noone really stands out as a GREAT class. They're all good in their own ways, but nearly all of them are out classed (even tech wise) by the sentinels available. 

It's just that when I go to choose an engineer to play, I always end up with a sentinel instead. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

What are your thoughts?

And the best soldier is the Demogirl. Grenades, grenades everywhere.

The paladin does seem to be like a better version of the FQE in some aspects. Best engineer imo is the MQE, arc grenade -> incinerate -> profit!

Moar pets!! Why you give us teleporting dodge and not cool pets???? It's not like they'll be OP. Everyone be too busy playing da demolisher or the qme or even that freaking bowling ball. Make mah pets good nao.

Geth turret has never seemed awful to me, and my sentry turret doesn't die too much.... The combat drone sucks though. One hit from anything big and he's gone.

I don´t know. I find myself playing engineers quite a lot. And I love Quarian Female and Male, Human or Demolisher, while in the Sentinel class, I really love only Valkyrie.

Or an acolyte. And arc grenades are basically overload in grenade form, anyway.

Best engineers are geth, human, and quarian female (with acolyte) in my opinion.

Quarian Male and Geth are amazing characters. Quarian Female needs an Acolyte to match up with them.

Just the acolyte, or as a side arm? Just interested...

N7 Demolisher, from what I've played. Amazing AOE with tech explosions and vanilla arc grenades, great single-target damage with the homing grenades, and fantastic support capability.
MQE is a close second however, as arc grenades are insane and tactical scan is great for debuffing large enemies.

Geth & N7 Demolisher. Geth I use as my CQB
N7 Demolisher I use as my long range weapons with close range fire support artillery (grenades).
Volus,. I use as the Squad medic. Fast, light and able to get in revive & re shield and get out. I normal use a side arm with M-99 Saber w/ thermal scope. I don't get many kills, but I have been able to keep the rest of the squad alive to kill stuff and not have to worry about shields. I have switched to the volus merc thuo. With the add combat drone to give extra fire support. and with the being able to reshield drop the combat drone if needed and get out of the area to support another squad member or to stay and focus on re shielding it allows me to get a better score (not that I care), but as well give sume extra fire support to the other squad members.

The engineers are all pretty good. I think you just prefer sentinels.

I tend to use the Acolyte and the Hurricane. You've got one gun that's a brilliant shield stripper and accurate at long range (once you get used to the arc of the projectiles), and one gun that shreds armour (or, most anything, really) at short to medium range. Put ULM on the Hurricane and you'll still have +200% cooldown. Although I guess since the charge mechanic was removed, you could get away with using only the Acolyte, but especially against Reapers and Collectors I prefer to have an additional weapon that's better for armour.

Note that I don't use that loadout on all my engineers. Since the HE and the GE both have overload, I don't see much use for the Acolyte, so I usually give them the Paladin or Carnifex. But really, you can't go wrong with Acolyte + Hurricane on any caster, regardless of tech or biotic.

Incidentally, with the recent flame powers operation I used the FQE (flame turret + incinerate), and basically focused on using just those two powers rather than my gun. Result: almost the entire operation done in a single silver match, top score, and the 50 tech kills medal. And for this weekend's operation I played a gold mission vs. geth with the FQE, and got the individual goal in a single mission. Image IPB

Nothing against the N7 Paladin, he's awesome and my favourite sentinel, but don't diss the real engineers, they're awesome too. Image IPB

I think the Volus Engineer is clearly the best now. Plus he feels more like an Engineer than the others. You can't beat all that debuffing and Shield Boost is glorious. The Geth, MQE and Demogirl are probably the main contenders but none of those take the belt from the Volus IMO. 45% is just too insane, and wall hax to boot?!

Oh, and the Paladin isn't eve the best Sentinel. Valkyrie, no contest.
