I have unlocked the Saber (woot!) .........

still waiting for an epiphany about a character I can manage to pug gold with in a way that does not entitle losing self respect.

TSent with 4/4 split between Tech Armour and Fitness is probably best, but there is also the option of stopping at rank 4 of Overload and maxing health or TA, which often makes headshots easier with a gun like the Saber because the enemies remain upright.

Other favourite tanky Gold contenders with the Saber would be the BatSent or Volus Merc.

As for your Krogan issues, I can only offer sympathy and my version of wisdom which is that the only way to get the best out of Krogans is with an Omniblade and forehead used to the absolute max, with nothing other than a Claymore or Graal, or very occasionally a Venom. I will not speak the name of the Quarian abomination which seems very popular as you are concerned with losing self respect, so it would obviously be off-limits. 

Ah, I have just "promoted" my Sentinels to avoid the crutch of playing T!Sentinel while I am trying to check out other kits. I run him with SMG though, to max out its girlfriend-class quality.

And uber-high: I caught up with Inert yesterday and tortured him through a few duos so I could try my new kits. The N7 Shadow on London against the Reapers boiled down to me watching him valiantly solo it on his Cabal. Which was entertaining but after thinking that now I have the strategy to make the kit work, and ending up very dead ten waves in a row, I estimated that my spatial awareness is not up to snuff for the kit. Volus Engineer was unbelievably cuter than I thought, and I adore how they conceptually aligned it to the lore. I just wish I could mod in the "Better part of valor!" voice over line in Volus for him. Want to play him a bit more later, as I need to get a hang of placing the mines better (Inert quickly convinced me to stick to the Recon ones, and forget about the Proximity kind). Finally, I have the EPIC explosions I have always wanted.

Omigod-omigod-high: The reason for interrupting the budding carrier in support mining, was that I bought a pack after a couple of zones with it, & finally got myself a Man-with-Lashes. Though what I thought was Lashes were actually Smashes, though from the look of it, "Lash" as an ability should have been more appropriately called "Lasso"... Anyway, that's a penultimate girlfriend-class, super-easy to play with the over-the-top gorgeous animations. Okay, so maybe the Smash is not exactly rainbow-colored, and it doesn't have a pet, but a Man-with-Lashes is good to find, and, Sir, it will kill.

Low: In the end, I started buying Recruit packs, because I am still running Iron Man style, with a net result of... zero medigels. I am going to have to use Cobras as a vaccination preventing death. I have 141 of those.
