Lancer's really good on him, as is the Arc Peestol- probably the two guns I use most on him. Derpicane is pure murder on him as well, especially when your stability passives are actually working. And kitslitslin (or however the eff you spell it) actually got me into using the PPR on him as well- maybe not the most obvious or intuitive choice, but you can't argue with the results.

^ I do spec into neural shock on overload. I don't care if enemies fall to the ground - it's alright if I don't headshot a few enemies. Most of the time, I don't overload enemies with health, I just shoot them.. Neural shock is really helpful vs. phantoms and other organics.
 
As for build, I prefer a 4/6/6/6/4 build. I prefer having full weapon passives as his powers don't deal very high damage to start with.
 
I could link you to some arc pistol gold solo videos if you're interested :)


Is rank 6 of Warp even needed on the Turian Sentinel?

I use a 3/5/6/6/6 build myself, and I was wondering if does indeed make a noticeable difference.

Depends, tbh. Not all that big deal for arc pistol but more useful for guns like lancer. Even in the latter case, it's debatable. I just spec fully into warp because the debuff helps teammates too and 6+6 BEs are always better. The same reason why I spec into detonate evo on rank 4 even though TSent can't create BEs on his own.

 

And I am not all that intent on getting the shield recharge in rank 5 of fitness or power damage boost in TA rank 5. But it's all down to preference.

Arc Pistol w/drill rounds, Valkyrie w/warp rounds (when facing collectors), Claymore (for lulz), PPR, Venom. Really any weapon goes good on him.

I've watched every "turian sentinel solo" video on Youtube that I could find. Several of them use Arc Pistols.

 

One note I should have mentioned before -- I'm on XBOX, so while headshots are viable they're not going to flow as smoothly as on PC. Also I would honestly call myself only mediocre at headshotting. But the massive damage buff that the charged Arc Pistol with Drill Rounds, etc., gets for headshots makes me want to get better at them.

 

For the Arc Pistol, I notice a lot of people using the Magazine Upgrade (capacity). Is that really necessary? Arc Pistol X already holds 18 rounds, so would you be better with Piercing Mod (AP) or even Scope?

 

Sabre. Headshots everywhere.

 

Love the Sabre.

 

Does the Turian's +stability do anything to the Sabre, though? Like... I dunno, decrease the reticle bloom?

 

I'm not a big fan of rank 6 warp on him

 

Really? I'd have thought that an additional 25% armor weakening would be pretty clutch, especially on Platinum where you face an endless stream of armored bosses. Fortunately I'm only contemplating Gold (for now...), so maybe it doesn't matter.

 

Also regarding Warp, considering this is for a Solo attempt, I've been rank 4a Damage instead of the usual rank 4b Detonate -- because there won't be anybody for me to combo with. But you did mention detonating your own Tech Bursts (with Overload, then Warp), so maybe I'm wrong.

 

Valkyrie w/warp rounds (when facing collectors), [...] PPR

 

I can't stand the Valkyrie, so I'm not going to use it and you can't make me. Nyah! :P

 

The PPR looks completely sweet, but unfortunately I don't have it unlocked. (Curse you, RNG Store, for giving me Valkyrie IV instead of PPR!)

People are now talking crazy talk..

 

You take Rank 6 Warp - Pierce because it greatly increases Incendiary Ammo damage, and gives you rank 6 combos.

 

Neural Shock adds an extra 3x multiplier for organic shields and barriers and is basically always the correct evolution for Overload Rank 5.

 

What you actually don't need on the TSent is maxed Tech Armor or Fitness.

I hate incendiary cheesing with TSent and hence didn't mention that advantage of rank 6. I did mention the rank 6 combo advantage though.

 

As for neural shock, I didn't say exact numbers but sure mentioned that it is helpful vs. organics and their shields/barriers.

 

No crazy talk :/

 

P.S.: Your post may not be directed at me but I just felt like replying :P

Can't speak for others but I run AP ammo or drill rounds on arc pistol TSent, so piercing mod is pointless. Heavy barrel is a must because of 40% damage increase. 

I hate scopes and so, the only option left for me is the clip.

You might as well run mag with AP or Drill unless you want to run Warp Ammo which is pretty absurd with biotic priming.  But that is really only the best against Reapers probably, and would be ok vs Collectors.  With most of the protected mooks you might as well overload for barrier strip, and then take you full damage multi-hits on bosses, especially against Cerberus.

If you want to be a little safer v Phantoms you can consider running 5 in TA for Power Synergy, then go full damage Overload and weapon passives.  This will strip a Phantom barrier in one cast on gold and you can easily shoot them. A little better with something like Suppressor than Arc (since Arc does so much damage you don't need to hardly strip anyone's shields first).

I think if we're talking max efficiency/easiest setup, probably Hurricane/Acolyte combo is the answer (it would probably be the answer 99% of the time). I like A LOT of different weapons on the kit so way too many to decide for me personally.

My favorite Platinum character. He's got an answer for everything. So much better than the TGI.

I wish I could take 4b in Turian Veteran to hit that magic 3k Shields/Barriers damage on Overload but I just can't bring myself to do it. He's a Turian.

A charged shot uses 3 ammo and since you essentially must charge every shot for good damage that means without the extended clip you actually only have 6 shots, not 18. Still, it's mainly down to personal preference.

Arc pistol and graal mostly.  Graal functions exactly like the arc pistol except no wallhax.  Partial charge osk and everything.

NO.  This is only a concern for low level enemies without shields like Troopers, Husks, etc., and other than Husks/Aboms, you don't see many of them outside the first few waves of Gold anyway.  For them, just use Warp if you need to stagger them or force a dodge.  Neural Shock is going to increase your shield damage against Organics, which will help a lot (especially with Phantoms).  For shielded enemies, your goal should be killing them before they are even able to move around unshielded.

It doesn't really matter, Neural Shock is always better. I still get headshots or body shots regardless if the fall down or not. Having them tumble like that can save you if you're running away.

I use the Lancer on him, it's light, has a good dps and the recoil is easily manageable with the turians' stability bonuses. However, I have it at 10 for a long time so I don't really measure how good or bad it is at 3.

 

^Fwiw, I used my Lancer IV on a gold solo w/ him and it worked just fine :) . (I took HVB and Mag upgrade - 79 shots at level IV w/ mag upgrade as compared to 76 shots at level III). I think you'd be fine w/ Lancer III should you choose to go that route. 

 

 

For Hurricane, I find that constantly reloading is somewhat annoying. Maybe I just need to get into a rhythm with it.

 

I hadn't considered the shotguns -- was getting blindered by ARs. Great, now I've got even more setups to contemplate. :P

 

^Hurricane is of course great on him ... dependent upon kit, I'll take the mag upgrade and I find that I don't have that many constant reload issues. Given TSent's passives, I don't always utilize the recoil system - I'll take HVB and Mag Upgrade and it works out. Of course, you can take the recoil system and score headshots; alternatively you could take recoil system and mag upgrade and utilize AP ammo. Just something to consider if you hadn't tried mag upgrade on the Hurricane before :).

 

As for shotguns, the Claymore is great on him, among other shottys. I just personally prefer the Lancer on him (I'm kind of biased though since the Lancer is my favorite AR). 

 

Anyway, good luck and have fun on your solo!

Meh.

 

 

All I know is when a lone turian defended Palaven against the Rippaz, he used a Claymore.

 

 

Space zombies never stood a chance.

 

HA! Loved that! Thanks for sharing - a great piece of ME3 MP history! ^^ Slightly before my time, so I didn't enjoy it when it was posted.

 

I had such a nostalgia trip watching the comments... Everyone going OMG that's ****** fast... At a 49 mins gold solo XD Not to take anything away from Sp3c7er, he was amazing, but things changed sooo much during this game's history :) Also Peddro getting hinted at the incendiary bug for the first time... GodlessPaladin whining about PC being able to reload cancel with gel XD And, finally... Fortack saying "great job with my new found love - the claymore". My *new found* love...

 

 

God, I'm old.

 

 

 

Love the Sabre.

 

Does the Turian's +stability do anything to the Sabre, though? Like... I dunno, decrease the reticle bloom?

 

 

Well, the Saber has quite a high recoil, so Turians' stability bonus helps reduce that. But no, it doesn't affect reticle bloom, as far as I know.

a different Idea from the usual setup.

 

CSMG + Inc + overload create fire explosion (one or two) every 3 seconds, in that time you prime the next target, The get scanner and the CM can be swapped if you feel confident to run without it, the warp+Eagle is to work the enemies with armor....

 

Rarely you have to run the the ammo box.

 

Same setup work with the lancer but yours is at low level...

Harrier with piercing mod ext mag and incendiary ammo. Cheesy but effective

 

You are going to be moving  around the map and all the ammo boxes are yours + you have 6 thermal clips

 

Just because you have stability bonuses doesnt mean that you should necessarily take a gun like the Lancer or Hurricane

Made a thing a short while back with the Turian Sentinel sporting an Arc Pistol. Enjoy the decent-ish gameplay and scrubby moments. :D

 

Edit: Has music so if you don't like it, sorry. :( and this was recorded after I took a break for a decent amount of time so uhh...yeah. A bit rusty on the headshots. >_>

 

Build is http://kalence.drupa...24852314!BF9A3O.

 

I've used it to solo gold before even though the vid is a gold pug.

Well, I'm on Xbox too and I just so happen to have a video of the Arc Pistol vs Geth with my 3/5/6/6/6 build.
