Human -- I like all 6 ranks in Drone on this guy or gal, and a mid-range but powerful gun like the Arc Pistol. I guess the Talon would also work. Throw out Drone, shoot stuff, stagger with Overload, shoot stuff, burn with Incinerate. Or flip-flip Incinerate/Overload for armored targets. Use your excellent combat roll to avoid damage.
Quarian Female -- she's great with almost any weapon, Claymore, Arc, Lancer, Falcon, Venom... even uncommon/rare SMGs can work for her. 4 ranks in Sentry Turret (for the 4b Shock). Otherwise like the Human but with Cyro Blast instead of Overload.
Salarian -- Venom, Falcon, or Scorpion are classics for him. But you can also do well with ARs (You can solo with him using the Phaeston). 3 ranks in Decoy. Energy Drain vs. shielded or Geth, Incinerate on everyone else, mix the order to get the proper explosions.
Geth -- I do only 3 ranks in Turret but you could do all 6 if you want the extra shield boosting. He is really a weapons class, not a powers class. Overload to stagger, and headshot. He thrives with a hard-hitting weapon with mucho AP for wallhax (to take advantage of Hunter Mode). Saber, Claymore, Arc Pistol. Your Talon would also work well on him but requires a closer range playstyle.
Quarian Male -- Arc Grenades are really, really good. But this guy won't shine until you have at least +3 Grenade Capacity. I only put 3 ranks in Tactical Scan because the opportunity cost of getting to rank 6 is too high. Basically mix Incinerate and Arcs for explosions. Venom is amazing on this guy, but normal guns work too. Acolyte would actually be a tolerate Venom-lite -- it staggers and primes, so once they are primed, re-stagger + detonate with Arc Grenades, then re-detonate with Incinerate.
N7 Demolisher -- she is not easy to play until you get practice playing a 0 Fitness build (which is what I recommend). You can play her even without +grenades because she generates her own (obviously). I like her best with a mid- to long-range but accurate gun, so ARs or some SRs. (Or I guess Wraith shotgun, but you probably don't have that yet.) She became Gold viable for me once I had the Harrier 1, which is fine for her because she makes her own ammo. Indra 1 also works (don't forget to scope in to avoid the descoped penalty). Really any AR, Phaeston even, you're just finishing off mooks in between grenade spam.
Volus -- the best of the Voluses (Voli?) in my opinion. Two power stagger powers that also debuff, light melee makes you invisible(and has separate cooldown for standing vs. running so with practice you can be invisible most of the time), heavy melee cancels DOTs and regens shields, Shield Boost saves you + team from big incoming damage + DOT. Now he just needs a gun... Talon works on him and I use it frequently, really anything relatively light... Sabre Volus is a running joke in my group... Scorpion (heavy though), Venom, Falcon (heavy) for more stagger.... However he is not easy to play because you've got to juggle his powers, melee, etc. Remember he is a support character so you will seldom topscore with him if that's what you care about.
Turian Saboteur -- also benefits from +grenade gear, and I like him with shotguns, but you could use the Talon. Sabotage makes for crazy powerful tech explosions. He's generally regarded as the weakest of the Turians. Still a Turian so still good, but kind of meh compared to a powerhouse like the TSol or TSent.
Vorcha Hunter -- herp derp Flamer. This is easy. Acolyte to strip shields, burn things. Mix in Incinerate for fire explosions. Easy. You can probably skip SubNet or just do 3 ranks. Alternatively you can play him (or any Vorcha) as a melee build, but that's not easy.
Talon Mercenary -- you need +grenades for him. You can spam Cain Mines which is easy, or go more stylish with primarily Armor-Piercing Arrows. Fun fact: AP Arrows alone can kill Gold Brutes in 3 shots. Takes as much +melee as you can because the arrows count as melee. Another fun fact: when you arrow it perfectly centers your weapon on the target, so now is your chance for those mid-range shotgun kills you hear everyone talking about (you do need Smart Choke though)... I like Wraith on this guy, but Eviscerator is a tolerable substitute. Or any AR, or Talon.
Retour en haut
I can understand what I wrote, but then I was the one who wrote it. In short, QMR's QFE turret spec is more effective (off-host, at least) than the alternative. I have no idea what you two were talking about beforehand.
