Looking for something other than a krogan to hook and jab. Besides the paladin, anyone have some ideas?

[Chealec]

Cabal, vanilla Human Adept, any Batarian, Volus Protector with BatGauntlet... I'm sure I've missed loads.

[Creator Limbs]

every kit

 

especially with the bat glove

[TheNightSlasher]

My favorites are these:

Turian Saboteur

Asari Valkyrie

Turian cabal

Batguard

Smashguard

Drellguard

AIU

Drell infiltrator

Shadow

Slayer

Turian havoc

Volus vanguard (I prefer the bubble melee, not the gauntlet)

 

I'll stop with these. Way too many possibilities.

honey bunz pls.

My Shadow is currently specced for insane melee damage. One of the people I play with on a regular basis who is not QMR refers to her as the Broken Shadow. One-shot a Phantom on Platinum, but insanely squishy. No fitness, no shield drain, nothing. Still way fun to play, though. Here's the spec.

 

I also have my GI specced for nothing but melee. His heavy melee can take down several Phantoms with one pulse on Gold... but he gets one-hit-killed by assault troopers on bronze. Here's his spec.

 

Neither of these are very easy to play - they're squishy as hell, so play them with a good team, and use the cloak to good effect. They can be a lot of fun and are vastly different than the in-your-face Kroguard.

Quarianinja is obviously superior, but you can do a similar thing with the Turian Saboteur and even the Quarksman. Basically, cloak> sabotage> heavy melee, as tech melees benefit from rank 6b of sabotage's 50% damage bonus.

Not even 1 Krogan? Reported, eaten and bones airlocked. 

[Ardat-Yakshi Master Race]

Not even 1 Krogan? Reported, eaten and bones airlocked. 

The OP DID say other than krogan, at least this thread's readers didn't immediately ignore the OP's guidlines

 

ANYWAY, I like the slayer and shadow.... there is something satisfying about decapitating phantoms....

Nice, I was gonna suggest melee fqi myself, probably one of the best lesser known melee builds. Personally I take the venom with disruptor and no secondary, I skipped nades before but now I'm thinking skipping passives makes more sense.

since you are taking Tech Vulnerability anyway, I figure maxing grenades and using incendiary for 7+1 sabotage fire explosions is better than a little weapon damage or weight capacity. Lets you soften up armored sync units quickly so you can backhand them to death, as well as for dealing with Ravagers without becoming An Hero.

Arc pistol is just there for hacks or escorts so you don't have to stand around doing nothing.

I never tried GI melee, but I'm thinking this build come next respec card; http://kalence.drupa...53X56314!0BF38S

 

What does anyone here think about it? Think I'm gimping myself again?

Binary Helix Pls. Read the OP. 

 

I did. The sentence stands 

[The NightMan Cometh]

Did someone say Upper-Cut?  ....Full Melee spec'd EDI with gear/ consumables/omni-blade....Hilarious sending Marauders and Collector Captains flying off the map....

[Shampoohorn]

My girl.

 

My ladies.

 

My bros & lil sis.

Yep. I use her with the Berserker gear... shotgun with omni-blade etc... doesn't need Repair Matrix at all. Her heavy melee is one of the fastest in the game and hits like a truck. It would be a shame not to use it.

[Shampoohorn]

There's also this adept.

 

And the demolisher is excellent as well.

 

Both have AoE and bonuses vs armor.

fitness makes her melee stronger, Ed is a waste at 6. (My build can 1shot plat phantom w/o consumables on)

Play on host and charge-->heavy melee right when you hit your target.  That's it.  Use gun on sync-killas if you are worried.

  This is the first post where you weren't your "character".  Busted!  I knew you were a Croatian immigrant named Mirko all along.  This is 100% trufax.

[Dalakaar]

Ditto.

I can't help it.  I have to bite.

 

After the discussion about the Shadow's Cloak, I'm slightly puzzled as to your thinking about taking duration cloak on a GI.  The rest of your build is close to the reason I started my first alt a/c - to unlock another GI, as one essential Sniper build isn't enough.  

 

The problem is, I still only have that original GI on my main account, and he cannot and will not be parted from his Javelin, so everything else I say here is purely speculative.

 

I would regard picking the Disciple as gimping yourself.  I get the logic of two Proxy Mines under one Cloak, I think, but you can get away with heavier Shotguns, even within a damage Cloak timeframe - I would have thought the GPS is the very least he deserves. Focusing on Shield-recharge speed, which is obviously the right thing to do, also makes more sense to me with a damage Cloak - you want to be out of Cloak as fast as possible to benefit.  As I say, though, I'm not speaking from personal experience.  Yet. 

 

All my Krogans and most of my Human Females are specced for full melee. Vorcha Soldier, Batarian Brawler, Volus Vanguard, Shadow, Paladin, BF3 Soldier too, but I have to say EDI's melee is the best non-Krogan melee of the lot.  I like the Cabal too, but I'm trying something different with her just now - I just can't remember what that is!

 

The ones that are top of my list to try when the respec cards are flowing freely are GI, QFI, Destroyer, Huntress, and after Lucky Starr's intervention in the TSent thread I'm thinking I'll have to try a full-melee Shotgun build on him too. I don't really like the Armiger Turians' melees, even though it makes great sense to spec two of them for it.
