If I am playing an engineer do I go for offense: Reave, Warp or defense Fortification?

ahh thought I could from someone

[Husqvarna Nox]

well Reave or barrier or Fortify

[TheBestClass]

You can't get Warp but you can get Warp Ammo. That would be pretty useful as an Engineer, what with all those barriers and all. It's also passive so you can set it and forget it. Reave is effective against barriers and armor too and it'll let you ignore Incinerate if you like. The real problem is using a skill that fits the class, if you care about that kind of thing. I'm a stickler for keeping bonus powers RP friendly.

Me too! Most others dont seem to care though.

I always feel guilty when I use Reave as a Vanguard. Not many tech bonus powers though.

Am I mixing something up? Cause I thought Vanguard is combat/biotic, which would make Reave class-friendly.

As an engineer If you go for a defensive power you shouldn't get barrier or fortifification. The best choice is Geth Shield Boost that benefits from your tech mastery cooldown reduction. Besides, one of its evolved versions provides a decent offensive bonus as well.

If I were an engineer (and I'm not) I think I'd go for Armour Piercing Ammo. Engineers doesn't get any ammo powers and Armour Piercing is a solid one that fits with the concept.

If that doesn't tickle your fancy, Shield Boost is also a great bonus talent.

I clearly have to many different classes going, I meant slam with my infiltrator.

Crippling slam with the infiltrator can make for some evil fun. Personally, I never feel bad

I recommend starting with the Armour Piercing ammo bonus power too.  Engineers have a lot of activation powers already hence a passive power wouldn't add to the cooldown.  Though Warp ammo may be preferable, you won't be seeing many Barriers until you hit Horizon, and shortly after you can quickly do Jack's quests and make the switch with a pittance of eezo.

I got used to having keep my bonus abilities class-friendly from ME1. Back when you had to consider bio-amp and omni-tool cooldowns and damage bonuses affecting them.

Agreed. Engineers have no biotics to capitalise on either, so AP ammo seems preferable.

Generally speaking, any class without access to ammo powers should pick an ammo bonus power if they can. It's not like any type of Shepard will never fire his gun in this game.

Warp ammo can be pretty awesome. I used that for my insanity playthrough the whole way. It'd work great with an engineer too coz shields are the only defense type that it has no effect on, but you can use overload on those.



Get the squad version and you're flying

[Death_Stalks_All]

Geth Shield Boost is very effective for any class, especially something like a Sentinel, but I prefer powers (like TheBestclass) that actually stack with the class, as an engineer I use Energy Drain, it helps with your barrier, Soldiers should get Warp Ammo, not because it fits but because it works on universally all kinds of shield type effects, Infiltrator snipers should have it too, even Vanguards, but Sentinels and Adepts should have Reave because it's good to stack with Warp, if not entirely better.



For a good twist, get Mind Control and AI Hacking maxed out, and get at least 2 Attack drones, minion master classes are surprisingly effective.in the lesser modes.

I think it depends though. I too keep it very RP but since all of my ME Sheps have been biotics, I feel that choosing another (non-biotic) class in ME2 is like additional training and that Shep still has biotic capabilities.

That makes sense. Also, I don't feel bad playing an Adept and taking Energy Drain or some other tech skill. It's more of an ability that your omni-tool knows, not an ability directly linked to the mind, like biotics. That's also why I feel weird playing an engineer w/ Reave. If he knows Reave, it makes little RP sense that he also wouldn't know how to use weaker biotics like Throw or Pull. To each his own I guess.

You could sum it up that Commander Shepherd is a biotic, but hasn't the time to develop his biotic abilities.

Heck, hybrid biotic teammates only get 1 or 2 biotic abilities anyways.

I would get 1 point of Geth Shield Boost on your Engineer if you decide to experiment with talents. Its pretty much the same as barrier except more offensive, and you don't have to go for the biotic duration upgrades right away. Fortification is a combat ability so it doesn't get a upgrade benefits.
