So I usually just stick to flamethrower and max shields plus damage but recently swapped yo cryo rounds and rocket and see it doing tech explosions which is awesome :)

How do you guys spec it?

And is there any way to buff its damage outside of the actual spec?

I never spec into any turrets. They may be useful but as I play I keep forgetting to throw them out so I just said **** it and quit putting points into any of them.

I'm sorry but sentry turret sucks. People will tell you that it's useful and worth speccing into but that's not exactly true. It makes a miniscule contribution to your overall damage output. Having said that, I still spec into it sometimes, but only ever on the quarian female engineer, and I always go for shock, AP and flamethrower. Geth turret seems to be much better overall, both in terms of damage output and because it provides some good shield regeneration. This is just my opinion.

^Its for cover fire , not DPS.

Between stagger from rockets, shock, and enemies becoming frozen, and priming/causing tech explosions, plus acting as a distraction, I love my sentry turret so much :)

Plus it kills off minor-average enemies at a steady pace.

On QFE I spec it up to 4 and no further, in order to max her cyro blast, incinerate, and fitness (yes, lolfitness) trees. I give her a stagger-lock weapon and use her as a crowd control and anti-armor character. It works.

Yeah, this is my current PS3 FQE build. First time in ages that I didn't max the Turret. But I'm under pressure from manifest problems and not enough gels... because I'd rather buy the more expensive packs for more manifest instead of Jumbo Packs for gels.

 

So if you see ol' Sinful about to bleed out in no frames land, please save him from wasting a gel.

In the same situation but I compromise by just never using gels before wave 7.

I'm lacking good weapons so my turret is working wonders for me. Arc pistol I to headshot thingns turret staggers

Shock, Cryo, flamethrower on QFE.
Shock, Cryo, Rocket on Saboturd.

I have no idea why I specced it on QFE but the Saboteur was because I despise Homing Grenades.

What else are you going to use the points for? Fitness? Does that really contribute to killing faster? The turret is okay for distractions and it does get a few kills each wave, so it's not pointless. Also good for cleaning up Husks, Swarmers and Swarms.

If you want damage, use the Rockets.  They don't do a ton of damage, but it's pretty useful.

 

I usually only go to rank 4 for the Shock evolution - it actually distracts enemies pretty well.  Like some others, I often forget to throw the Turret out, and I'm trying to get better about that.

I'm not surprised you think the damage is minuscule, since you spec it to achieve maximal minusculeness(*).

Exactly.

 

(*) Kids, that's not actually a word.

I don't go beyond rank 4. 

 

The rocket and flamethrower are alright, but I can't justify spending 11 points on that. I find that they are better spent elsewhere.

 

With rank 4 evo, the turret does a good job of distraction and staggering enemies consistently, which is basically all I need from it.

I tend to prefer the Combat Drone but i will take all the back-up i can get. Not sure why the Volus and Human Engineer are the only ones with a Drone while everyone else gets the stationary turret. I never skip out on a Turret in any class though and i prefer Cryo Ammo+ Rockets for my Sentries and Flamethrowers for my Geth Turrets

I put it at rank 4, for the shock evo. Ranks 5 and 6 are too expensive for what they bring IMO.

Auto guidance is the only to finish a wave sometimes when you had too much to drink. Plus the debuff for your Drill Ammo synergizes very well.

I enjoy more for it's area dmg.

Only way to use it: Set it and forget it. Shields-Cryo-Rockets. Trying to constantly re-set it near enemies to combo off of flamethrower is so impractical. Set it nearby and it will keep enemies on your flank occupied and take some down for you.

 

Think I'm lying? I got my 50 tech kills medal on a Saboteur without Grenades or Sabotage (was low levelled) this way.
