Recommend a build for my stalled game

Well, it still is kinda mainstream but if you want the opposite of sniping, you could go for a vanguard build. Here is one that is almost the exact same I ended up with during my last playthrough. I thought busting in and messing with everyone close up was pretty fun:

Depending on what difficulty you play at, I'd suggest using a vanguard profile instead of the adept profile though. The biotic echoes didn't really do it for me but all the regen bonuses of the vanguard can come in handy sometimes.

I didn't post them, assuming they'd definitely be "main stream", but these are my favorite builds:

Sentinel (Lance/Annihilation/Energy Drain)

Soldier (Invasion/Tactical Cloak/Turbocharge)
or (Assault Turret/Tac Cloak/Turbocharge)

Vanguard (Charge/Annihilation/Energy Drain)

Sentinel (Incinerate/Assault Turret/Energy Drain)


Team Support (Life Support) is so good that it pushed Tech Skills from "I kinda like them, but..." in the MET to "mandatory to use one" in MEA.

I wish the Adept profile didn't suck. A vanilla Adept (Pull/Singularity/Throw) is still one of my favorites thematically. It just isn't fun, though, to chase down foes who've sonehow survived insane ragdolling and physical trauma. I can instead just shoot them, burn them, or whatever.

I like Assault Turret better than Remnant VI. It lacks the annoying sounds, which is nice. Its cooldown begins the second it's activated. I do use FMoA, but it would be accessible regardless thanks to that cooldown mechanic. It draws a lot of enemy attention and is really durable, always self-repairing. The cryo evo freezes foes all over the place, and I like cryo detonations.

Thanks for the heads up on Overload detonations. I'd have been mildly bummed to discover it. It makes sense, I guess, in the interest of game balance. Still, the idea of detonations across multiple primed targets was the sole appeal for me, other than simply trying something different. There really is little reason to use Overload with Energy Drain on the table.

The buggy interplay between favorites and ammo boxes/power cells sounds like another thing that would've/should've been patched.

I missed the FMoA on my very first PT. I saw the start of the puzzle and forgot to go back and solve it. Once I found out what I'd missed, I made sure I grabbed it ASAP on subsequent PTs. It totally upends the cooldown system and its role in game balance, but I enjoy the result. I love chaining combos/skills, so I don't really hesitate to use the FMoA.

With FMoA being a thing, I have never managed to commit to a single power cell skill in 20 PTs (only 16 finished, due to bugs). I tried the cooldown evo of Concussive Shot, but it was just meh. Things like Lance, Throw, etc... all have some extra features built into their evolutions. Concussive Shot is just bland compared to other detonators. It was so much fun on an Explosive Burst Soldier in ME3.

^^ Concussive shot on power cells has a very small use case if running Adrenaline, and that is spamming them at something like a Fiend or Destroyer.

I can't remember, but I probably did use ED instead of Overload in that I already had the points invested in it and I was building this as I went levelling up (no respec).  I might have leveled Overload later on when I was just looking for most places to put tech points since some of the buffs keep increasing with each point you invest in tech.  Playing with the three pets and then adding Drack and Jaal (or Liam) into the mix makes for a lot of detonations regardless of the lack of multiple dets on the chain overload.  I just found playing with all the pets a great break from playing just as the infiltrator and we made surprisingly quick work of a lot of group of enemies including the easiest fight I've ever had against the Progenitor (sorry for the lack of a scientific explanation).

A bit late, but there is always another playthrough coming, right? So here we go: I always go back to some apept/vanguard/sentinel-hybrid. Last playthrough I did singularity, charge and lance. That is a fantastic combibation for all ranges of combat!

My other fav powers that usually end up in my builds are annihilation field (substitute for singularity) and energy drain (which is fantastic either with lance or as a substitute).

If you haven't overplayed these powers, I can only recommend tinkering with the combinations. If you want more tech, you can also add incinerate to the pool.

Warp back in SP? Nice work!
