I do not like...

Dafuq you calling "fluffy" you sentient beach ball?

BTW you're all clearly garbage at the game and a bunch of indolent proles who are jelly of Quarian Marksman's peerless level of classiness and elegance.

Meanwhile he's just standing there in his sharp black suit, all like


go ahead, go take your commoner Turrhurrdurrian's pathetic socialist handouts of lolfitness shields and free (but usually broken) stability. All the more glorious Quarksman for the discerning individual such as myself.

But really isn't the true topic of this thread whether or not people enjoy being forced into 'playing the weapon' by a given character? Bores the hell out of me, so I never feel compelled to QMM.

Also interesting the tongue-in-cheek GT vs QMM comparison...while also discussing the ADAS QMM as a possible selling point. So standing there holding the ADAS trigger down vs standing there holding the flamer button down. With no way to self-detonate either. Hot damn...does the fun ever start?

I love the talon on him with drill rounds. Honestly his debut power syncs better than the turian soldier imho. Raider is also pretty damn entertaining on him.

The advantage of being a sentient beach ball, you get the front seats...

I do. I also supposed that people in this thread knew its topic and would understand which ability I was talking about. If it is not so - I`m sorry for this misunderstanding. I was definitely talking about the MM.

No one forces anyone into 'playing a weapon'. There`s no Han`Gerrel behind my chair, Arc pistol in hand, saying "you either give your QM a certain weapon or I`ll shoot your toaster and TV and whatever else".
There is a lot of weapons to use effectively with this character, and every player decides for himself what he wants.

Ah, alright then. My bad, I didn`t see the other possible meaning. Sorry.

But still, isn`t it good to have such an option? There are many classes that can rely effectively on their powers, should there be any need of adding one more? Especially considering that grenaded QMM would be similar to QMI and powered one - to human infiltrator or quarian engineers.

Precisely the opposite. If I want to be a team player I will pick some Volus Engineer or a Paladin or something along those lines, because everything they do debuff, slow, strip shields, add a DOT or prime for explosion and they can do that to a crowd of enemies and trough obstacles.

QMS is mostly a loner "shoot all the things" kit. Yeah, Tacticool Scan benefits all players, but it's real use is only on bosses (even something like Brutes or Ravagers ain't worth scanning) and it's single target only. Yeah, you can have Sabotage, but you'll probably use it a few times during the whole match, since it's cooldown is ridiculous if you have anything heavier than a feather. 

QMS is a lesser team player than a Turian or Human Soldier. 

My point is that a lot of other kits are actually a lot better team players. Recon mine gives 25% damage boost across 8-12 meters to all targets in the radius and slows them all by 30%. That's a team power. 

Is there a benefit in Tac Scanning a single Centurion? Yes. Is it worth your time, instead of just shooting him in the face? No. 

Is it worth proxy mining him? Yes. Is it worth your time? Yes, because it staggers him too. 

I see your cheese and up you with:

See? It matters.

Well the QMM is probably just more teammate and faction dependent for his highest potential team contributions.
With Tech teammates and/or fighting vs flashlights or Cerbs, the QMM can be an outstanding team contributor.
