I always wondered what the best off host classe and weapons you guys like to use? It takes forever for people to join my game when I try to host.
Like for example in regards to weapons people say the GPS can suck cuz it registers blanks and it doesn't always hit the target point blank. As for classes in general people tend to say its things like soft, squishy biotic classes as one example.
So can you guys name some good off host classes?
Your comprehensive list of best OFF HOST classes?

Cant go wrong with the Geth Juggernaut and the Typhoon, the class seems to play well when the servers are out for blood

GI (and every other infiltrator besides the shadow) is still good, just don't immediately fire your proxy mine after cloaking as it will lead to the double cloak bug. Use the Raider for 3 (or more) shot lulz.
Bat Slasher and Drell Adept are particularly nice since your clusternades will stick together. Same thing applies to the Drell Vanguard, but charging is kind of an iffy proposition.
Tanky classes work well generally, although avoiding sync-kills can be problematic on non-mobility classes off-host.

Anything with big cushiony shields n health that can forgive a second or 2 delay in lag. No vanguards, no fury, asari sent is dicey due to nature of gameplay, voluses can be problematic.
Meaty kits that dgaf about lag: Juggy, batarians, kroldier, krentinel, kroguard (exception to vg rule), infiltrators if you aggro dump like a champ, oh-- and the sexbot of course.

I just noticed for the first time that the Raider was a TWO shot gun when I hosted for the first time in a long time yesterday...I didn't use it much until recently and always though that three shots were normal, except for when I thought the lag was preventing me from getting my expected third shot!
Yep, lag is pretty much a fact of life when you're playing across an ocean divide.

Krogan Soldier/Sentinel with Claymore and Scorpion, Grenade Gear. Shields, melee, nades, Claymore.
BatSol Wraith Incendiary Shock Trooper. Disco Inferno.
My go to if I know it's crazy lag is the Destroyer Typhoon/Pirahna with Shock Trooper.

Generally survivable, mobile classes with skills that lock-on or don't require that much aiming
ex. Overload, Incinerate on the Human Engie.
I'd also reccommend nade classes but if its really really bad lag the nades won't even follow through D:

General rule is anything with a high survivability, as the most annoying part of off-host lag is getting hit by enemies AFTER you're in cover.

Apparently you haven't experienced throwing air enough.
From most lag affected to least:
Slayer, Human Vanguard, Collector Adept, Submission Net users, Cabal, other Vanguards, Fury, Grenade Users, powers with travel time (incinerate, warp), Infiltrators (stupid full duration cloaking glitch), everything else
Really depends on how bad the host is. Even on a really good host, Slayer still feels unplayable. I can use other vanguards like Drell just fine on the same host.

The lag gives you 4 shots then use marksman to reload and you can get another 5 shots due to lag. Giving a 9 shot boss killer from your 2/4round clip

Hmm best Ive seen sofar was 6 shots...Im now jealous.
Also Krosoldier and Krosent are good off host.
For a power class human engineer seens playable even with quite bad lag,incinerate seems to track better than most powers and its hard to miss with overload

Asari Huntress. Even if the lag is so bad that I cannot aim at all, I'll still be dealing a lot of damage to bosses and meanwhile keep myself alive. Just need a bigger map to hide when lag spike kicks in.

I'll make a list:
Soldiers: Pretty much all of them, just don't use a projectile weapon.
Adepts: Most except Fury and Brolus
Engineers: All except Talon unless you're spamming trip mines
Sentinels: All, but melee Krogans are harder to use off-host
Infiltrators: All, but melee shadow is inconsistent off-host
Vanguards: None except Kroguard, batguard and possibly DV (Haven't tried himm off-host thought)
Just remember to not use any projectile weapons and ops packs have a delay which always gets me killed off-host.
I live in Australia so I'm used to some serious lag

Huh?!?!? I play the majority of games off-host and murder with the FURY even on GOLD. Sure throw can be a bit touch and go sometimes (misses, is delayed, or goes thru an enemy) but with the sheild drain on AF, speed, and teleport it's not only survivanle off host, but a top scorer.
I think you can mitigate some of the off hosts problems by ensuring your own internet connection is tops (cabled not wi-fi). Sure there are always those hosts/matches where the lag will be immidiately perceptable and pronounced. Mark and avoid.
