Too bad the classes that should be the best melee characters are near the worst because of sync kills.
Strongest Melee Builds Out There?

You usually need to cloak while in cover then shadow strike. The AI has an attack iteration or cycle where it determines where to aggro to if the enemy is focused on you it sometimes will track you while you're shadow striking. Cloak behind cover then shadow strike after a brief moment. This is worse off host of course in my experience.

This so true, sadly. Not really because of syncs, or at least not only because of them... A krogan heavy melee does like half the damage of a GI's. And a GI's can hit everything in a radius... Sad. One of the many things I wish Bioware works on for the next game.

Krogans in general, Shadow of course, melee GI one of the best and also the hardest IMO, and my personal favorite the Talon with AP bolts with all possible melee boosts. That kit is rediculously powerful vs armor, and there is something so satisfying in seeing Atlas' armor bar act like a reversed download bar that of a 100kb file

GI as a melee cap too IIRC, and his max melee damage is still lower thant the one of a krosol for ex (except agaisnt armor). But it s much more faster... Hum, i m gonna try the melee gi

What Argent said, and I'd encourage people who haven't tried it to do so. The easiest approach would be omni blade Falcon with disruptors or even cryo ammo works nice. Just use Falcon to stagger and spam that crossbow. For tougher targets load up AP arrows and watch the magic. Maximize melee in passives ofc, and watch the magic happen

Anyone ever try a melee DAI? I've been meaning to respec him and try it out, because a melee Drell would be just too much fun. I can't decide whether to use Bat Gauntlet or not though (does an extra 1500 damage or so, under cloak, but is way slower- you can usually pull off 2 drell HM's before cloak breaks, as opposed to only 1 falcon punch)

The cap is 3, but it doesn't matter since it can be spammed quicker than the enemy can react. Besides, the multiplier is against all defenses, so the only thing a friggin' 1 ton Krogan running headbutt hits harder than a puny geth energy pulse is health...
Biower pls.

Huntress. Most powerful melee in the game IIRC.
Nope. Human Infiltrator with bat gauntlet is.

[...Melee Huntress Build...]
Thanks for the build. I just that tried that. But because of bad memory my build turned out to be differned in some Evolutions. But I like it and now I have a use for the Huntress and for the Venom (I maybe Change the Weapon later if I find a better one for me).
I do like to take the Bonus Power evo on Tac Cloak, though. That way, enemies won't interupt your Shadow Strike as much.
Nothing wrong with that. I decided that did not want to skip Electrical Slash and Bonus Power seemed to be the least "usefull" in my opionen.
However after testing mega's Huntress build (Bonus Power is one of the "mistakes" I made) I thinking about changing my Shadow Build to Bonus Power aswell and skip Electrical Slash for that.

She kills them 3 at a time with her meleeI am gonna try this. How does she perform against wave 10-11 phantom-goon death sqauds? Those 2 waves are the reason I dont play melee as much.

This^^^ Melee GI can spam quick enough to get killstreaks in quick succession. Find a friend to follow spamming shield boost and it's freaking ridiculous. Still ****** elite protections can screw you if you're not intelligent about it. You can also RHA his melee to a degree as well.

It's terrible. I have mine specced for half melee/half speed right now and just use melee as a finishing tool. It can't one shot anything, even with max melee and martial artist active.. and I hate that. Maybe it could with the Bat Gauntlet.Anyone ever try a melee DAI?

The only way it works is to hit them with split homing nades first while cloaked then punch the two shielded enemies. Then you can kill shielded mooks with one punch, after the homing nades hit them. This is also the best place for homing nades since beingnup close is where they perform best bc the travel time is minimized.

HI with gauntlet can do 6450 except 4838 vs armor, vs a single target every 2ish seconds. Enemies can dodge cryoblast.
GI au natural can do 3166 EXCEPT 4733 vs all protections, over a wide AoE, every 0.75 seconds (using proxi mine first)
Huntress can do 3255 EXCEPT 4838 vs all protection, over a wide AoE, every ~3 seconds. *not sure which cloak bonuses count though*
Valkyrie 3105 EXCEPT 4657 vs all protections, over wide AoE, every ~3 seconds

Have not tried it on plat, but the melee Vorcha Engineer with maxed BL, adrenaline III and an Omniblade is fantastic fun for gold.
I think I saw you doing that the other day. Ps3, on white? I think reapers? I forget what I was usingusing... I think a KroSent?... We played a reactor game as well.

Yeah, I'm not super surprised with that- if you haven't maxed Fitness for melee, his HM isn't super powerful to begin with. Even with maxed fitness, omniblade, strength enhancer, and berserker gear, cloaked HM only does 4k damage or so. This is why I was considering the Bat Gauntlet- puts it at about 5200 on a cloaked HM. But it becomes waaay slower.
May not be the most practical or efficient melee build, but I want to try it because a pure melee drell would just be too much fun.

Yeah, that sounds familiar..... Think it was Cerberus on the second game, right? Those were some nice games.
Actually been fooling around a lot with the Vorcha engie, pretty hilarious with the adrenalin mod.
