Add me to those who use the Melee FQI, Melee Demolisher and Cryo Soldier (with Falcon though).
Oh, I just remembered. Anyone using Barrier offensively on Krogan Shaman? It's actually lots of fun!
I do, more or less. I use a hybrid build, and use barrier and melee with the occasional BE against group of mooks and BE and my gun against bosses. I particularly love going against phantoms with it. Works in every difficulty, but finding groups of mooks is not that easy on plat (for me anyway).
I'm not your honey, babe.
So how's life? : )
I'm not your babe, sugar.
'ts allright - spring is finally here.

True, very fun to use against Phantoms. Nobody finds groups of mooks on plat because they never spawn. And that is why you mod the game, add bunch of them in, and go to town 
Human Engineer + Executioner: I have posted about it many times here, awesome fun, and it actually makes good use of Power Efficiency Mods!
Salarian Infiltrator + Crusader - Drill Ammo: Max power damage so you can 1-shot enemy shields with Energy Drain, makes taking down mooks a snap. Also Proxy Mine + Drill Ammo means that bosses melt, especially any boss that can be multi-hit. You can almost take out a Gold Ravager with a Proxy Mine + single Crusader shot.
Geth Engineer + Phaeston + Incendiary Ammo: Actually makes the Phaeston fun. Spam Overload as much as possible and fire steadily in between. Definitely use Flamer Turret for extra fire explosions and for distracting enemies.
Geth Engineer + Valkyrie + AP Ammo: Headshot machine. Hunter mode's accuracy boost makes double-tap headshots very possible. Just remember to ADS. Also use Flamer Turret for this one.
Human Infiltrator + CSR + Incendiary Ammo: Cryo Blast debuff plus CSR's insane DPS melts bosses but good. Cryo Blast is good for forcing a stagger or dodge, making it easier to take out mooks too.
Asari Adept + Disciple + Phasic Ammo: Strip shields without having to carry the Acolyte, and look/sound cool when you do it. Disciple stagger also provides easy targets for Warp, which makes Warp-Throw combos on mooks a viable killing strategy.
Typhoon Female Quarian Engee ...... combines 2 very sexy things.....and is a ton of fun
I fully spec out of Electric Slash. All-in melee or gtfo Shadow.
PREACH!!!!
Variety is the spice of life they say.....
QFE/Valiant - just a funky, weird build I tried one day that I liked.
AA/Eviscerator - without Stasis. I been running her without Stasis but the Eviscerator part was recent. Not sure why I tried it but I don't need a reason.
Justicar/Crusader - I started that sh*t, I don't care what anyone else says, and I maintain that the Crusader is not broken by any stretch.
Kroguard/Javelin - easy to scope for headshots from > 3 ft away 
KroSol/Indra - thank the randomizer for that, this setup got me back on the "Indra is ok" bandwagon.
SE/Mantis - because the Mantis is OP......on Bronze. I just like it, it's fun.
And if you complained about the Raider, take 2 git gud with a glass of water and call me in the morning.
SE/Mantis - because the Mantis is OP......on Bronze. I just like it, it's fun.
The Mantis is just fine on Gold. Really lacks the punch on Platinum due to boss rush, but on Gold, most enemies wont know the difference between the Mantis and the Widow (Or the Javelin for that matter), dead is dead.
The Citadel-inspired Graal melee N7 Fury was suprisingly fun. Not as effective as her usual biotic-boom pinball playstyle, but still very workable.
Striker KroSol/KroSent is fun, play that pretty often. And the Venom/melee TGI is actually really fun (the only way I play the TGI anymore).
Another build I just love is "Zaeed": Human Soldier, no AR, Avenger, Disruptor Ammo. Lots of Firing high-impact shot and tech explosions, especially with tech team. Perfectly playable at Platinum.

All the basic humans are perfectly OP on Platinum. You just have to play them right.

Hey, man. This place is not the same it used to be, but that's true for all things in life. Some faces are still the same though 
And it's nice to see yours once in a while

Give us a "best of the best" SilentStep79 nostalgia trip from an old post to cling on to.
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?
I doubt I have anything that NOBODY uses, but I definitely have some kits that make me smile and aren't seen too often in the wild.
Offensive Volus Adept - Arc Pistol, fire explosions, biotic explosions, boss debuffing, non stop cloak. I really don't get why people don't play him this way.
No Fitness AR Bonus Power BF3 Soldier - Shoot->AR (reload)-Shoot->Carnage (tech burst, hides reload)->Frag Grenade (fire explosion)->Repeat. Oh the boss damage 
No Fitness QFE - Not unique, but underappreciated for sure. You can swap out Arc Pistol for Talon, or Claymore, or Wraith, she's good with a lot of weapons.
I tried to run the Saboteur as a melee build, and if he had stim packs instead of sentry turret, it would be my favorite melee kit in the game. But with no powers that give him cloak, shield regen, or damage reduction, he just isn't a good candidate.

I use the same builds for the volus adept and the Battlefield, with only minor differences. The voldept definitely needs a strong gun that can headshot and incendiary rounds to get fire explosions against armors (since he can't get BE against these defenses). As for the BF3, yeah, the double Claymore shots and TB/FE chaining is a must on him.

Hmm...aside from a few well placed pithy remarks on some popular threads, MY posts were pretty boring. But I have to say there's a sense of some ACTUAL lighthearted non 'troll tinged' fun in alot of these threads that was surprising to see!

Can synthetics be surprised?
