Do you know or enjoy any weird specialized builds that almost nobody uses?

 

For me it would be FQI with sabotage/heavy melee build (can one hit phantoms). It's insane fun. But you really need those Str Amp 3s, and I'm always running low on those. 

 

Or do you maybe have a build that makes weapons like Striker or Raider useful? Maybe a full melee Drell? Tried it a few times, can be quite good against Cerb, light melee Phantom stunlock is one of the most risky, ridiculous and fun things to do. But my vote would go to FQI melee, honestly I would never have come up with that combo if I wouldn't have read it here.

 

So, got any other hidden favorites?

As for Raider, there are plenty of builds for that, for example my Hunter:

 

http://kalence.drupa...!!13053364!8EGA

 

Works well on any difficulty, yes, even plat.

 

Then theres the Raider TSol, the Raider Cabal, the Raider AIU, the Raider Juggy, the Raider BatSol...

I wouldn't exactly say it's hidden or that uncommon, per se, but I've enjoyed the Asari Vanguard Stasis Sniper Build.  I first read about it here and I wouldn't have thought to slap a sniper rifle on a Vanguard before, but it works with the Stasis.  The three points in Biotic Charge comes in handy too when I'm low on shields.

Full melee drell

My go to build for the drellguard. You got to pick your moments though as blindly charging and trying to melee when surrounded by other enemies is a death sentence. Falcon's stagger matches up near perfectly with his melee (the time delay between shots and his melee duration has great synergy).

 

My fav raider & striker builds:

Raider 1

Raider 2

Striker

I like using the Raider AIU.
Everything geared towards melee, and punch those suckers into orbit.

I shamefully admit to equipping a Cyclonic 3 or 4 though, because lag sometimes screws me up.

I don't see people use the Asari Justicar the way I do. It's a bit tricky, but fun.

 

Fire venom at spawn/enemy, run close and use the bubble to generate a fire explosion. You can then dodge, fire more shots and use Reave to detonate a bitoic explosion as a follow up. AM3 can be traded for Cyclonics - you can also trade weapons amps for recharge as well. Asari dodge + venom/explosion stagger are used to keep you alive. As with any venom kit, it absolutely wrecks Cerberus, but I've found it viable against all actions.

 

This is pretty similar to another popular thread here as well.

Can you explain why spec into pull for melee drell? Why barrier bonus over double charge? The way I played mine relied heavily on the extra invul frames and additional stun proc I'd sometimes get from the double charge (I'm not saying I was doing it right, it just seemed useful). And I'm surprised by the adrenaline mod, isn't it fast enough already? I always played him with cyclonic IV which kind of offsets the bonus you'd get from full barier regen on charge, but can do it twice instead. And I was using inc ammo over dist, any reason for dist.?

 

So why does Raider work well with the Vorcha soldier build? I'll certainly try it, just interested what's the story behind these builds.

I spec into pull just because I kinda like that power and launching a pulled enemy into space via BC or heavy melee is amusing. You can totally leave it out and max passives.

 

There is no real advantage of bonus power charge the way I play it. I have falcon for stagger, which is very handy. Since I'll melee after a charge, I want max barrier.  My cooldowns are fairly low anyway that I can charge almost immediately after a charge > melee > shoot sequence (which will keep any non-boss enemy staggered). I'd rather have max barriers during that period. Besides, grenades have no cooldown and provide the best panic button. Phoenix, asari and krogan are the only vanguards I pick bonus power on (phoenix is the only one I frequently use; the other two make once in a blue moon appearance).

 

Cyclonic is wasted on a drell. On gold and above, there are a lot of enemies that take down drell shields in a couple of seconds (even with cyclonics). Adrenaline is the best gear for a drell and speed gives the drell more survivability than ~400 extra shields. I don't take 6b evo in fitness (the speed boosting evo), so I use adrenaline to somewhat make up for it.

 

Disruptor primes on all defense layers, unlike incendiary - more combos. Moreover, the tech burst resulting from DA + charge will remove shields/barriers of most enemies setting them up for a nice melee finish. AR omni blade gives only 25% melee boost unlike the shotgun variant, so I want to soften up enemies as much as I can.

Among my favourite niche builds is the krogan soldier with the Geth Gatling, as the spitfire does not slow him down (yeah another bug) for maximun incendiary cheese http://kalence.drupa...34O51364!A.09GG

 

For the raider, the GI raider is among the top 5 most powerful builds I know for scorewhoring http://kalence.drupa...24F53314!5DF95Syou can score a double hit on banshees and phantoms thanks to high penetration.

With the raider the things to keep in mind are : 1) NEVER zoom with it as it decreases its accuracy 2) reload cancel is mandatory 3) just fire your two shots in a row

 

A build that works well with the striker is the human soldier as it allows you to 1) recharge the gun while firing so you'll keep firing at max rate of fire and dps 2) recharge your shields while being exposed http://kalence.drupa...!24O51334!F.09G

 

Edit : for the striker avoid zooming as he has a huge recoil

This is true. Let me save you some time. Forum search for "Blasphemous builds". And if that isn't enough, I'm sure you will find some wacky ones on my N7HQ.

Lolwut? I mean... You need to really try real hard to make the Raider NOT useful.

I disagree. Raider is ONLY useful on a close-range character. If you are not in face punching range, the Raider spread is bad. Admittedly, it IS one of the few guns that can give Reegar a run for its money at that range though.

Then... Be in face punching range?

 

Besides, there's also MM/HM/DM for that.

Hunter Mode and Devastator mode don't even come close to fixing the spread of the Raider. It might be different for you on PC, but Raider has the worst spread in the game on PS3.

It's not different on PC. And HM and DM do help with that. They halve it, so. They don't turn it into a sniper like MM, but they make it a pretty decently accurate shotgun.

To be fair, my builds regularly go away from what is considered right here. :P

You're not on PS3 are you? I did run into a very good QFI Lancer player a couple of weeks ago. But, you're right, I believe that is the only one that I've ever seen.
