Human Adept : He/she is (one of best) damage dealing adept. Yes. However it is very tricky to play HA without Cyclonics 3+. ACA is tanky without cyclonics. That mean you can use your 100+ Power Amp 4 instead of 10 odd cyclonics. His major damage dealer is Dark Sphere and DS, not BEs.. So Power Amp works very well on him. I run him 66660. Power amp 3 or 4 with SMG or Pistol with power amplifier mod. And stronghold package makes his survivable enough.

He also illuminates every goddamn Geth Hunters out of their cloak. That is always a winner in my book.. On par with phantom killer things.

Plus with ACA you get more style points.

 

 

My biggest damage dealer is PPR with Warp ammo after I prime everything, then it's only a matter off...https://www.youtube....h?v=YsLS2VsE79A

[Deerber]

Why not? She (valkyrie) can set up biotic explosions the same way, and she is more tankier than the fury. And the OP has the acolyte to strip shields. Also the OP has the Talon. Valkyrie + Talon is a powerful combo.

 

Well, her BEs are quite slower than the Fury, and as a result she can't achieve the same level of destruction based on power/BE damage alone. To (kind of) offset that she needs to exploit her double debuff capability by using a powerful gun.

 

That is not to say she can't be a powerful character even with a lvl 1 gun, just that she won't be as good as a Fury.

 

 

Also, the discussion about the Fury is having me puzzled at the moment, I don't follow.

Oops I meant Dark sphere and dark Channel.

PPR kind of makes him soldier although very effective one. Do not know what level OP's PPR is..

I run him on Collector SMG X. Always. .

Same here as you then can cast DS more frequently due to the significantly lower weight of the CSMG compared to the PPR, and at X with warp ammo IV the CSMG does really good damage.

I admit I use Cyclonics but that's because I have 200+ 3's and 4's but I'm sure I could run something else and not really notice having less shields. As for the ACA I can't say much because I don't like him or use him because the animations drive me crazy just like the stupid Vorcha growl crap. And running basic Human characters is always ++Style points

Human Sentinel. Especially with Acolyte.

I'm in love with the vanilla humie adept currently. At the start Singularity sucked, so I sort of shunned it. Then there were all the problems with Shockwave. The cumulative effect is that I haven't played the Adept much until now. I knew it could do well but I just rarely used it. Now I'm learning the idiosyncrasies of shockwave and it's working out quite well.

 

Singularty-shockwave detonating multiple BE's at once makes me happy.

 

***

 

Just reading up a bit, I play my adept with a power amp IV because that's what I have most of. If you have access to the scanner you mitigate a huge amount of damage by slightly wallhacking your shockwaves.

 

This is roughly how it goes for me at a spawn.

-See enemy, strip shields with weapon. (Talon and Acolyte are both great for this.)

-Singularity

-Dodge/Strafe behind cover (but stay in soft cover-RHA, you want to keep firing when you can.)

-Reload

-Shockwave (Which will cancel your reload if the timing works out well.)

 

If it's a single boss unit you might want to...

-Singularity

-Warp(Which detonates Singularity's primer)

-Warp again

-Wait for Singularity to detonate itself which detonates the previous warp into another BE as well.

Two very fast high damaging Biotic Explosions if specced right and with a low enough cooldown.

 

Shockwave takes, playing with... The way I have it specced is the exact way you aren't supposed to on PC. So I do miss targets. Things that impact it the most in my experience are vertical shockwaves if you're on a different level, aiming slightly down/up a ramp for instance. But mostly just lag. It's very much not a power that you fire at where the guy is standing at currently, you have to lead them a fairly considerable amount when you have the distance specced.

 

/shrug?

It's all space magic in the end.

[Sinapus]

This build might do okay:

 

http://kalence.drupa...121!!..42!EE0B3

 

Or whatever powers you prefer if you have a different build. I find the Locust pretty useful for casters.

 

You may want to buy recruit packs until all the commons are filled and then veteran packs for the uncommons. Then spectres to start working on rares and such.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Pfffft, I could solo gold using only my winning smile.

Fixed.

 

In fairness I never really complained about it, I prefer to preach responsible flamertude

I prefer to practice equal opportunity flaamertude. Enemies, Swarmers, squadmates, everything.

 

I like the Venom on her, but I know many don't appreciate that weapon.

 

 

just detonate the Tech Armor.

I heartily endorse this product and/or service.

 

I've only read the first page, but I'd say the Human Engineer is good vs every faction.

Except not as good against Collectors. And I'm speaking as a major HE fan.

Woww, this thread has show how nice of the BSNer and this is one of the reason that I am still playing ME3MP.

 

If you looking for someone to join your game for credit farming, you can invite me tonight (your morning time, right?).

And running basic Human characters is always ++Style points

Human adept is getting most of the damage out of BEs anyways. Power amps are nice because there is just so much power spam with that character and singularity explosion gets a decent buff from an amp also considering shockwave is hitting multiple enemies BUT all of that said Cyclonics are fine because again a lot of the damage is from BEs more so than the damage of the individual powers.

Alright I got a lot of 'Likes' for my last post going through Adepts, Soldiers, and Engineers, so I'm back for the other three classes. I've been too lazy to read the other two pages (!) of the thread so apologies if this is redundant at this point.

 

First I need to go back to the Soldier class, specifically the Geth Trooper. This guy should take the Acolyte. Strip shields with Acolyte, apply Flamer. DO NOT listen to the idiots who tell you Flamer is a n00b power or whatever. Every power is a n00b power in someone's opinion. Flamer is great. Just be polite and don't blind people with it -- attack other enemies, or stand off to the side.

 

Moving on.

 

Sentinels

Spoiler

• Human -- Talon (preferred) or Acolyte. People make fun of Human Sentinel and say he/she is a worse Asari Adept because both have Warp/Throw but the AA gets Stasis while the Human Sentinel gets Tech Armor. Well, Tech Armor makes the Human Sentinel a lot tankier than the AA. (Unless you are doing some hipster Tech Armor detonation, in which case you wanted the Turian Sentinel or the Krogan Sentinel instead.) Anyway, I actually prefer other weapons on this guy, but if forced I would take the Talon. Warp, shoot, Throw to detonate, shoot some more. Alternatively you could Acolyte to strip shields and Warp/Throw a lot, but you won't be detonating very fast.
• Turian -- Talon. All Turians are good with all weapons. This Turian is the most well-rounded character in the game, capable of dealing with both shields/barrier (Overload) and armor (Warp). I believe the optimal mix of Tech Armor and Fitness is 4/4, but do whatever you want. The important thing is to get all 6 ranks in Turian Veteran (his Passive) because 6b Damage & Stability is really good. Not that you really need the stability for the Talon, but you will for other weapons later on. Anyway, strip or debuff defenses with the appropriate power and shoot the Talon.
• Krogan -- Acolyte. I know this is blasphemy to most but I don't care; this guy is a perfect fit for the Noisy Cricket (Acolyte). Put Disruptor Ammo on it and you can cycle tech bursts and fire explosions thanks to Incinerate and Lift Grenades. INVADERONE has a YouTube video of this build which I recommend.
• Batarian -- Talon. As I said before, Submission Net offers you the easiest headshots you will ever have. For Shockwave, you can pick 5a Detonate if you want to be nice to your biotic teammates (to increase the power of biotic explosions by a massive 65%) or 5b Reach if you want to be a little selfish. I recommend Incendiary Ammo on the Talon so you can detonate some 6/1 Fire Explosions with Shockwave. As with the Turian Sentinel I think 4/4 Blade Armor / Fitness is the right mix, but do whatever you want. I do think all 6 ranks of Batarian Enforcer (his Passive) is worth it so you can reach 6b Damage & Ammo.
• Vorcha -- Acolyte. Similar to the Geth Trooper, strip shields with Acolyte and burn things with Flamer. For Cluster Grenades, anything between 4 and 6 ranks can work depending upon how much Passive/Fitness you want. Note that all Vorchas have a fast dodge, which you will want to use often to buy time for Bloodlust to regenerate your health/shields. Also, Vorcha Sentinel is Platinum viable as soon as you learn how to use RHA and dodge to avoid damage -- Flamer is that powerful.
• N7 Paladin -- Talon. The classic build for his is to skip, er, N7 Paladin (his Passive) because it doesn't offer very much compared to maxing out his other abilities. Also don't listen to the Snap Freeze haters; if they don't like it they can turn down their volume or find another lobby. Anyway, N7 Paladin can deal with every defense, but he thrives against Geth because Energy Drain always works against them (vs. only against shielded targets normally). Cycle your powers to get various kinds of explosions, and shoot in between with the Talon. Don't forget that your melee can actually prime enemies for cryo or fire explosions, and also has some light stagger/knockback.
• Volus Mercenary -- Talon, because you desperate need a source of damage on this character. Honestly I am not a fan of TWO PETS on one character, but I guess at least 3 ranks in Decoy are still worth it. For Combat Drone, I prefer Shock and Chain Lightning over Rockets, but do whatever you want. Abuse your light melee cloak, try to gain good position, and shoot a lot with the Talon.
• Asari Valkyrie -- Talon. To answer a previous question, no she is not a replacement for the N7 Fury. The Asari Valkyrie prefers a slower paced, more deliberate gameplay to the Fury's balls-to-the-wall run'n'explode style. However the Asari Valkyrie is a powerful class, fairly tanky due to the combination of Tech Armor and Annihilation Field 6b Drain (always!). Practice repeatedly priming enemies for explosions by running back and forth to get them in and out of the Field, and detonate with Warp when it's available. Which won't be super fast, so shoot a lot in the meantime.
• Krogan Warlord -- Talon, I guess, but he really wants a shotgun with the omni-blade. (There is a +melee attachments for pistols but it's not as good.) Skip Electric Hammer and max out everything else. Learn how not to get sync killed by the various enemies, and just laugh and hammer time a lot.

 

Infiltrators

 

Spoiler

Talon for everyone. And I really mean it this time. The reason is that Tac Cloak boosts weapons damage, and the Talon is a strong weapon. There's not much point in boosting the Acolyte's damage because it already completely strips shields/barriers (except for bosses), and its normal damage isn't worth boosting with Tac Cloak.

 

FWIW, the Geth Infiltrator with Talon is one of the most powerful weapon classes in the game.

 

I can give specific Infiltrator advice if you want.

 

Vanguards

 

Spoiler

• Human -- Talon. I would skip Shockwave; if you want to Shockwave, use one of the Adepts instead. Charge, Nova, shoot, etc.
• Drell -- Talon. I'm not touching the Pull debate; do whatever you want. He's very fast and should use that to avoid damage when possible. Cluster Grenades are really strong once you get used to their weird trajectories.
• Asari -- Acolyte. This is a classic build. Strip shields/barriers and stagger with Acolyte, then Charge in, dodge back, and throw Lift Grenades if necessary. Note that you can be holding a charged Acolyte shot and release it as soon as you emerge from Biotic Charge, so you can double-stagger enemies. Handy against Phantoms. You ideally want Incendiary Ammo for the fire explosions.
• Krogan -- Talon. Skip Carnage. Charge, Heavy Melee. You've invincible vs. Geth and almost invincible vs. other factions once you learn to avoid sync kills. Ideally you'd want a shotgun with omni-blade, but the +melee on the pistol could work I guess.
• Ex-Cerberus -- Talon? Honestly I seldom play this character, so I'm not sure. As with his Adept brother, he's about animation canceling the powerful Smash, but he has Biotic Charge instead of Stasis.
• N7 Slayer -- Acolyte, with either Disruptor or Incendiary Ammo for the explosions. Skip Biotic Slash, or only 3 ranks if you must. This guy is all about the combo of Phase Disruptor (consumes barrier to deal damage) and Biotic Charge (refills barrier). PD will detonate, which is why you want Disruptor/Incendiary on the Acolyte.
• Volus Protector -- Talon? But again I seldom play this character. He's typically run with the Reegar shotgun.
• Batarian Brawler -- Talon. I often skip Lash on him and amuse myself with Charge into Heavy Melee -- if you time it right it's one smooth beatdown. The Talon is for when you need to stay at mid-range and shoot rather than get up in something's face.
• Cabal -- either one. There are a zillion ways to build her, and I'm not getting dragged into that debate. She is powerful, flexible, and fun to play. Just pick whichever gun suits the playstyle you're going for.

 

Hope this helps!

I wouldn't consider her a "power" class because that typically means a class that can prime and detonate her own explosions, which AIU cannot.

 

AIU: Cloak, Snap Freeze, shoot, repeat. Use Repair Matrix for emergencies.
