What's the most recent build/set up that you've discovered?

I kinda like how everyone has their own ultimate recipe for superfun/superop build (and disses the other kits); six years after the launch. It sure is still lively in here

That said, I played glorious antilag warrior today and he goes by name Laggy 3-shot Raider Turian Soldier (L3RTS). If you find yourself in a lobby with lotta lateral shifting, mooks disappearing and appearing randomly, don't quit, embrace the Raider and rip them to shreds with what's gotta be the highest possible short-term burst DPS in game. For those who know, good on you.

4/6/6/6/4 is better.

The fifth rank in TC is pointless unless running melee. Recharge time is flat when breaking cloak so four ranks is all you need if not sniping.

I ran this kit a lot with Claymore or Harrier when grinding out Plat creds on ecksbawks. Don't touch the kit now. 

I recently picked up the Turian Sabo again.

He was another kit that I couldn't figure out, a build that I liked on the TSE. And I gave up on him a couple times in the past trying to make him work.

After playing with him around. In my opinion you could make a case, for TSE being the 2nd strongest engineer damage wise, being behind the QME and the OnlyUseMeCainTripMineTalonMercenary.

Reasons why he's good:

He has sentry turret, and like the combat drone and decoy, it also provokes the banshee scream when the sentry turret is near the banshee in warp cast mode, to bypass the power blocking phase. Which is good for helping out other caster kits, so their powers don't get cock blocked by banshees. Also good for pulling aggro away from team for a couple seconds.

Sabotage is good, it can stagger, hack cerberus turret for easy cheap kills, hack some geth units and make them fight each other, hack an atlas and get lucky he sync kills something like a phantom, buffs tech combos like FEs,CEs and TBs because of tech vulnerability. And even buffs tech powers like flamer, as if flamer wasn't already powerful enough, And certain melee attacks.

Homing grenade is good overall, hits really hard in general. Not much to say.

On to the build I went full shields and damage, anti armor, and flamethrower for the sentry turret, arc pistol because it's my favourite choice of gun, originally had split but switched to armor damage for homing grenades, which turns him into a decent boss killer.

Most of the time, sabotage + HG is your bread and butter and just wreck havoc, and your tech bursts as a result also hits harder than your average tech bursts because of sabotage's tech vulnerability. Tech vulnerability helps out your tech caster kits.

Overall, the TSE is actually pretty good. I'm happy I found a build for this guy, because I gave up on him quite a few times in the past trying to make him work.

On a side note, I used homing grenades on a geth prime on gold, that was affected by warp, snap freeze and my own sabotage. And when the homing grenade hit the geth prime, his armour just melted, on top of having full power damage from passives and the power magnifier mod, rank 6A passive on HG, and the tech vulnerability from sabotage that made the cryo explosion that happened afterwards hit even harder. Probably could feel bad for that geth prime, but honestly I have no remorse for that synthetic staggering douchebag

I hate flamer.

It's overpowered and blocks lines of sight for teammates which means that it needs to be thrown out the airlock at every opportunity.

Having never completed Vorcha Sentinel waves, I decided to create this nerfed idiot and get to work. The Falcon works remarkably well on him, allowing you to be reckless. It's funny to send a spawn flying and on fire, only to walk up and (weakly) melee whatever survived. The BPP isn't the best sidearm, but it fits the lore and lets you deal with big armor a little quicker than you can with the Falcon.

200 waves done.

This is truth, and why my Vorcha Soldier hit 200 waves first with his pure melee build.

....and the over-cover grab that can be heard anywhere on the map.

An OP human build.

Sweating 6

Throwing 6

Tools 6

So I used to play my batarians with Crusader, simply because it is my favorite gun; recently decided to try Striker for Batsol and Falcon for Batdept - and they're just unstoppable machines of doom & destruction. You feel like Arnie and the gang, laying waste to that jungle village from Predator, all in one (especially Batsol). Really fun kits.

Wraith with the Asari Vanguard sounds amazing. I must try it next time I play. And while I have points in stasis, I feel she doesn't even need it against phantoms. The stagger from charge and then her grenades seems to do the trick just as well.

And honestly, I am reaaaally liking the Slayer lately. More so than any other vanguard now. I never realized just how over powered this guy is until recently. I actually tried him with just the acolyte and he is absolutely ridiculous. PD is just so stupidly good. 

Um, does carrying bad randoms with him on Platinum by yourself count? How about doing a solo gold with him on my recorder that has a half second of delay and crappy video quality? If so:



I understand vanguards are tougher off host, but I never join games, I always host. The few games that I joined off host, I just didn't have fun because of the lag. 

But seriously, how is this guy NOT played more? Like he's a vanguard that can literally work at all ranges, wreck crowds in a second, and PD even without any damage amplifying mods does ridiculous damage. 

And Wraith targeting VI? That sounds really interesting. I think I will try it tomorrow. Do you use pistols with her? I see a lot of randoms use her with a pistol or sometimes... a sniper. 

Has anyone ever solo gold with a melee Quarian (any kind) or geth (No juggy)?

Not super recent but I decided to use the BF3 Solider and spam fire explosions. Just equip the Lancer with Incendiary IV and alternate between Carnage and Frag Grenades for a nonstop shower of fire. I named him Beavis as a result.
