ATTENTION: This guide was originally created by Antmarch456 on the old Bioware Social Network (BSN) forums. I am recreating it here so it does not disappear when the old BSN forums shut down.
It's a bit hard to create a class build somebody hasn't thought of. This is my first class build I made. This class build focuses on easily stripping away enemy armour and creating fire explosions. It may not be the most effective build, but it certainly is a very interesting one, especially for a Renegade Shepard.
Powers:
Tactical Cloak (6) - Damage, Recharge Speed, Bonus Power
This can be used tactically or to make your fiery powers more devaststing.
Incinerate (6) - Damage, Burning Damage, Armour Damage
Focuses on one target, but it is more damaging.
BONUS POWER: Inferno Grenade (6) - Radius, Max Grenade, Radius & Shrapnel
Not as strong as Incinerate, but helps in crowd control.
Operational Mastery (6) - Weapon Damage, Squad Bonus, Damage & Duration
A boost in all aspects of an Arsonist.
Fitness (6) - Durability, Shield Recharge, Durability
Usually not a melee character, so its best to know you can last quite long.
Armour:
Go for Inferno Armour to help in power damage (plus, the name suits well). You can alternatively use Cerberus Spirit Armour as well.
Squad:
James is a must in the squad. If you configure his incendinary ammos to be provided to squad members as well, you've already practically created three little pyromaniacs. He also has frag grenade for crowd control and carnage for assistance in fire explosions.
Your other squadmate should be able to deal with shields/barriers quickly and have some crowd control, since you primarily focus on armour.
- Kaiden has Reave and Overload to help strip away barriers and shields (respectively). He also has Cryo Blast to weaken armoured targets for you.
- EDI has overload to help in shields. She also has Decoy for some crowd control. She can also assist you in your fire squad with Incinerate.
- Tali has Shield Drain as a good source for anti-shields. She also has a Combat Drone (and maybe Defence Drone) as great crowd Control. Though Tali seems to only use Combat Drone and Energy Drain in most cases, she seems to be the best 2nd squadmate in my opinion.
Weapons:
Any SMG, Paladin or Talon can go with this build. Though the best would be the Lancer; which provides a huge rate of fire but still deals high damage.
