In all three games I played any class, except the sentinel.

 

The sentinel would be my "No 1":

I really don't know, how to play this class. Is he melee, is he ranged, is he a biotic for starters or is he a jack of all trades?

In all three games I started one but gave it up after a while.

 

Next would be the soldier. I never play shooters or any other reflex-based games, so I can't resort to formerly acquired personal skills.

But other than the sentinel I like the soldier as a class and played it  - despite the struggle - in all three games.

 

The easiest classes for me are the adept and the engineer.

 

 

What is your class, which you normally like but is hard to play for you for whatever reasons?

[Excella Gionne]

Sentinel Class is good for all situations of combat. A Sentinel doesn't excel at either Tech or Biotic, they are given the necessary powers to handle all situations of combat. No class is constrained to one playstyle, but of many. You choose how you want to play your class.

 

Sentinel is my favorite class in ME2 and ME3. I switch around a lot on PC. On one stage, I might be Sentinel, and on the next, I might be an Infiltrator. 

 

 

I certainly enjoy a sniping Adept and Vanguard...

[Excella Gionne]

Dullest class for me is Soldier. I like the Heavy Melee, but the lack of powers is simply too much.

[Farangbaa]

Sentinel the hardest class?

 

What the? I don't... I.. I... I don't even.

[Excella Gionne]

Vanguard is pretty boring... but the Vanguard has pretty cool animations for pics...

[Pee Jae]

I tend to play sentinels defensively unless I'm playing the Valkyrie. Then, I'm downright suicidal. For me, none of the classes are that hard to play, but Soldiers are the least enjoyable. Like Excella said, a bit dull, unless you're a Krogan. 

[SporkFu]

Depends on the situation. Adeptshep can be kinda hard to play if you're facing lots of shielded enemies, and all you have is bullets to deal with them. Biotic explosions make it worthwhile, though. Sentinelshep is fun to play cause she can cope with any situation. Engineershep is best, though. Gotta love them turrets and drones. 

[Basher of Glory]

Yup, turrets and drones, that's it. Lean back and enjoy the show 

 

Especially in the Citadel-DLC I really enjoyed my engineer, because I had a hard time with my adept there.

[ZipZap2000]

Dunno about hardest but I tend to get cocky playing as a vanguard and wind up getting killed trying to use charge on barriers or misjudge an armour level and wind up standing directly in front of a banshee/brute. It's embarrassing but if I set off an explosion it's totally worth it.

 

And yeah soldier class is dull outside of MP.

[Catastrophy]

Vanguard was hardest - until I learned to play it in the MP. Oh boy - I did it all wrong before.

[themikefest]

Engineer - most fun class to play

Vanguard - easy class, just charge and nova gets old very quickly

adept - isn't bad The one class where I never fired my weapon at all in a playthrough except when the game forced me to

soldier - makes the game very easy. In fact I did an insanity run without taking cover at all

infiltrator -  isn't bad. using lash with the class makes it fun

sentinel - can't say anything about it since I never done a complete playthrough as one. I might one day

[Gladerunner]

Mix between the Engineer or Soldier.

 

I enjoy synergy with combo explosions and weapon usage. Adepts, Sentinels, Infiltrators, and Vanguards do this very well, at varying ranges.

 

The Engineer however, seems to rely on Drones, which while useful, seem awfully passive. I tried the Drone Army build, using 3 drones, but didn't feel the impact.

 

The Soldier seems to have only two options - keep shooting, or spam concussive shot. The reliance on ammo powers further makes this class passive.

 

The Adept is an extremely active class, as every power has it's use. Warp a single target, then Throw or Shockwave. Singularity a cluster of mooks, then Throw or Shockwave. While it also seems to be two options, the explosions make it feel active.

 

Sentinel is the toolkit character, which I usually play with all 4 powers - Throw, Warp, Overload, and Cryo Blast. Actively strip defenses, then trigger the explosion, and profit. Tech Armor is just icing on the cake, letting you play more aggressively. It's also the only class that can have two protection powers running simultaneously, for some awesome damage resistance, letting you run it as a partial or complete weapon class.

 

Vanguard, while has it's use for spamming, is about close range overwhelming force. Charge into an explosion, flank or rear end your enemy, and let the disarray from your enemies be your advantage. Charging, depending on the difficulty, is either boringly fun or risky and rewarding. I tend to play it with light weapons so I always have options. 

 

Infiltrator is my favourite, but only because it fits my playstyle. It's precise force at any range or position. While I used to use it exclusively with Sniper rifles, I enjoy changing it up with SMG's, Pistols, and Assault Rifles, in a nimble tactical way.

 

Between Engineer and Soldier, I'd have to say Engineer is the most difficult. Drone's are it's forte, and while they are good, they aren't 100% reliable.

[von uber]

I found adept the most fun, vanguard the easiest amd soldier the most dull.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Sentinel? Solution to all problems? Tech armor.

 

Vanguard? Love it. Novaguard with the Talon.

 

I love playing an infiltrator, but I think it's the hardest class to play, especially in that mirror match.

[Vazgen]

Vanguard is the hardest in ME2, not so much in ME3. All classes are easy, I can't really pick one. Maybe Soldier with assault rifles, because it requires to be out of cover for longer and I don't like doing it

I never got the hang of biotics, constant explosions and sound effects from casting these powers grow old very fast for me. I prefer tech classes with Engineer and Infiltrator being my favorites. Plus, I like to play the same class through all the trilogy and being a biotic doesn't make sense for some backgrounds. Like Earthborn, for example. How did the Shepard manage to get cutting edge implants while being in a gang is beyond me.

[NeroonWilliams]

I am NOT an avid gamer, and as such I absolutely HATE playing as a Soldier with nothing to do except shoot and . . . well, shoot.

 

Next least favorite for me is the Vanguard, because of the repetitiveness of Charge/Nova.

 

The hardest class for me to LEARN was Engineer.  It took me quite a while to settle in to the right mix of passive aggressiveness in the class, but now it's probably my favorite.

 

As long as I still get to carry a sniper rifle. 

[Farangbaa]

This thread reminds me of all those videos on the internet with guys/gals packing a full load of equipment on Engineers/Sentinels/Vanguards/Adepts.

[Han Shot First]

Vanguard is the dullest IMO. It's easily the most repetitive class.

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 Infiltrator had very low durability back in ME2, and I foolishly took the advice of someone on BSN (I know, right?) that it's one of the best classes to use for the Insanity achievement (I had only played Soldier up to that point), so I took it on a whim for my Insanity run. That playthrough was like pulling teeth. Once I had finished playing one game of every other class, I found that Infiltrator was by far my weakest of the 6 (I'd have been better off with any other choice).

 

Criminy.

[justafan]

I've always meant to do a run with an Engineer or Sentinel, but never got around to it.  I don't know if this is because I think they will be the "hardest" class, but for most of my Shepards I like to play with them since ME1, and I need a little more firepower than a pistol or SMG in ME2 to get me through, even with a plethora of powers to fall back on.  Oddly enough though, adept is my second favorite class, though that might just be because bionics were ridiculous in ME1, and still pretty powerful in ME2.

[Basher of Glory]

In ME 1 I played an infiltrator and considered it a cakewalk compared to the other classes I played.

 

When I read through this thread, I have the impression that the infiltrator was noticeably harder to play in ME 2 and ME 3, right?

[von uber]

Vanguard is the dullest IMO. It's easily the most repetitive class.

What with Shockwave, lash and an smg / heavy pistol? It's quite amusing.

[SporkFu]

Shotgun infiltrators are pretty fun In ME3. I had a blast (pun intended) sneaking up on baddies and headshotting them, but it's pretty much a single tactic kinda build.

In ME1 Infiltrator is just a tougher engineer with more weapon focus. In ME2 and 3, cloak becomes a key element. People tend to use it to boost damage, I only used it when needed to change position or escape a dangerous encounter. It does not recharge shields and thus makes you squishier than the same Vanguard with their charge, but if used in right situations it can make you a god on the battlefield. Energy Drain helps immensely in both games for shield-stripping and protection. Energy Drain - headshot with Mantis - cloak - relocate. Enemies will never be able to catch up and you will hunt them from the shadows like a predator

[TheOneTrueBioticGod]

Sentinel with Tech Armor always on and and almost any assault rifle makes even insanity/gold a cakewalk.
