Well, we haven't had a build thread for ages so here's one.
I'm gonna do Krogan adept 200 waves and need some food for thought. Wanna have botb minus the N7 grind and I have my sights set on this fat and gloooorious Krogan. I played him on my main acc but have totally forgotten how to run him.
Warp+shockwave BEs seem like a no-brainer but that actually don't excite me too much. Barrier detonation, how would it work out? Some melee is in order of course because headbutts? Maybe go for warp debuff plus warp ammo Claymore headshot style? Graal omniblade stagger+heavy melee throw people off the map fun? Radius shockwave frustation wreck-a-mouse might be the way to go perhaps?
I'm totally lost.
Whaddaya think, how do you guys play him? Gonna go for gold, lore friendly, player skill level not too high kinda build. Thanks.

This is my standard build for him, weapons can be almost anything. Acolyte/Lancer is for Platinum only, could cheese with the Incendiary Reegar if you wanted as well. There's Warp/Incendiary cheese as an option. Personally I love shotguns so I'd go Raider, Wraith, Claymore, Graal, Venom, Crusader, etc. No radius on Shockwave if you're on PC.
I'd probably run this for a melee build. No barrier purging needed and you could go with Berserker Package for a little more melee damage. Basically just run around an pimp slap everything. I think Clyde or Qui-Gon GlenN7 plays a Barrier detonating Shaman so they could give you tips on that.
Last Edit: Jul 5, 2017 18:59:22 GMT by DistigousForest: E: for lore friendly melee I'd take the Graal for staggers, otherwise Claymore. Sorry I missed that part.
We used to be in love, but now we're just in like And we broke all our promises, and baby, that ain't right
I have a Barrier-purging Melee build I use from time to time. Skip passives.
Weapon damage is underwhelming, so bring along a stagger stick. Graal and Venom work great. You can still Warp/Shockwave bosses, but the idea is to stagger and ragdoll mooks and go nuts. It's not optimal, but it's fun.
I prefer a Melee Krosent with no lift grenades though. Krogans should have a "personal touch" when dispatching enemies.
I rock this when I wanna do a Barrier game. The point is to get as many Barrier kills as possible. Goofy? Yes. Optimal? Far from it, but that's the beauty. You can also Shockwave all the things and get FE's.
If you want to play him differently, the other builds posted are all you need.

I just skip passives if I want to Barrier Melee all the things. My normal build for him is a little weird, can't remember but it might be 65555... I always spam Barrier with this kit!
I save 66653 for KroSol Venom
All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.
that s the most (ok one of the) versatile kit in da game. I personnaly prefer an all around build with melees, barrier detonation and BE's ! U can do all with one build and just adapt to your taste in game. I leave barrier off most of the time to keep cooldowns short and use it to stagger goons rush and phantom by quickly tapping it twice. Wraith is the other go to weapon to be a bit more efficient
I use a hybrid build with a little bit of everything. Combos for bosses, barrier for mooks, melee cause krogan and passives for some gun and barrier damage. I prefer Cyclonics for reckless gameplay, and double shield regen combined with it makes hide and seek very effective. On host I'd take the Graal, but offhost the Talon it's a better choice, and the four shots synergize well with the cooldowns. Switch to Executioner for flavour (actually my favourite, but not as efffective).
I think the most effective is a build centered around Warp + Shockwave biotic explosion, with only 3 in Barrier, 5 in passives and a Talon or a Wraith. Now for something more original I would skip the passives, equip a shotgun with omniblade, and max the Barrier's detonation and melee damage.
