 What do you all think are the best weapons for casters in the game?  This is a list of good caster weapons IMHO, I am sure I missed a few, though with their Pros and Cons. I Personally have been prefering the Valiant, Indra, or Wraith, with the Scorpion as a side arm if I don't have a Phantom killing power.

Long range:
1. Valiant; Pros, It is light, does excellent damage, and has a good scope. Cons, It is slightly heavier than most caster weapons and is hard to level up.
2. Paladin: Pros, it is lightweight and has a relatvely high dps. Cons, small mag
3. Indra: Pros, it is really, really light and has a high dps. Cons, it's DPS is kind of exagrated due to its quick reload time and high magazine capacity.  It isn't as accurate as the Paladin or Valiant

Mid-range:
1. Talon, Pros: It is light, hits hard, and has a shield damage bonus. Cons: Not the most accurate gun
2. Wraith Pros: It is a great mid-range shotgun. Cons: It is level dependent, fires slowly, and takes up SG rail amps which to me, are more precious than UR's
3. Scorpion: Pros: Instant Stagger and power applications, does more damage than most stagger weapons. Cons: Small Mag, less damage than direct damaging weapons
4. Acolyte: Pros: does monster damage to shields, is light and staggers. Cons: Charged weapons suck
5. Falcon: Pros: same as the Scorpion. Cons: sucks against bosses, slow fire rate

Short Range:
1. Piranha: Pros: High Damage, light.  Cons: Inaccurate, requires SG rail amps
2. Hurricane: Pros: High damage. Cons: Inaccurate, high recoil, hard to level up

You aren't "cheap" if this is the only weapon you ever use?

[tsailo]

I usually go talon for biotics and falcon for tech

CSMG at 10 is a great caster weapon.

Though the wraith, acolyte, hurricane and, paldin/carnifex are good.

[P51Mus7ang]

Short/Mid range Hurricane, aside from the damage it's ROF is ideal for priming, the RNG smiled on me some time ago and it's at X...friggin amazing weapon, I just hope I don't wear it out:)

Mid/Long - depends on the kit and what I am after, love the Indra & Paladin

[ISHYGDDT]

GPS

[bnm73]

With it's light weight and area ammo affects, the Acolyte is often all you need. Throw on a Hurricane if you feel you need two guns. Don't be afraid of charging; just run around with your finger on the trigger all the time and release it to fire when you come to an enemy.

[Brumisateur]

Tempest X is quite good imo. Gotta love that headshot multiplier bonus IIRC.

I rarely use the Harrier. But there's no denying that it's a great caster weapon. Especially at X, as it's quite light.

Talon is now my favorite pistol, however, is it just me or does it have DRAMATIC recoil?  I usually have to put a stabilizing amp on it, or entrust it to only the geth who have hunter mode and innately handle weapons better.  I feel like it just bounces all over the place if I give it to other classes, without stablizing amps

[ToLazy4Name]

Acolyte + Hurricane.

[Titus Thongger]

^ use a scope + heavy barrel + AP/warp ammo on the talon

Harrier X and the Claymore X are great weapons for everybody. 90% of the worlds problems could be answered with Claymore, Harrier, or 42.

As good of a team mate as you are, you deserve a Hurricane X:wizard:

RNG gave me the Valiant X.  It is amazing how that guns lightens up so much per level. The Valiant X has pretty much replaced both the Indra and Paladin for me.

With the scope it does, it is not just you.

For me its a toss up between my Paladin and the Talon - it comes down to the map wether i take one or the other.

Also this:

It safely negates most of the cons.

The Paladin, on a biotic class, with the HVB and extended magazine + warp ammo is absolutely wonderfull for eating otherwise heavy units from a safe distance.

My rule of thumb when making this list was to only mention weapons that were below at 1.0 or below. That is why I didn't mention the Harrier, Raider, GPS, or Claymore. Personally, I feel that 110% is all the encumbrance bonus you need on most casters (with the exceptions of the AA, HA, and Novaguard). At the 110% limit, the Harrier is a great choice.

[parico]

acolyte
palidin x
csmg x
Talon x

Those are what I use before it was a carnifex but once palidin, talon get to 5 they are better choices.

[ahmadsamad]

Collector smg, Unlimited ammo

[Revi-Dragon]

acolyte for shielded targets and stagger
and the disciple for staggering armored targets fore every second shot of fire (so little trouble whit storming dragons and ting like that), and whit Smart Choke it is almost as accurate as an sniper
and the best part you still have a fast cooldown fore your powers

[ebls]

The Saber X is an excellent choice for the Turian Sentinel (overload and headshots).

The GPS is interesting with all Engineers (it's not heavy, stagger, etc.).

I use the Graal with my Krogan Adept.

I agree with Acolyte and Hurricane/CSMG (Asari Justicar, Human Adept), Paladin (Asari Adept for Stasis and headshots), Wraith (Batarian Adept and Sentinel, Asari Sentinel), Talon (some Vanguards, Ex-Cerberus Adept, Asari Sentinel), Scorpion (just for my Salarian Engineer).
