****TURIAN THREAD: THE BEST THREAD ON THE INTERNET!!!!!*****

re:bolded, yeah, that's pretty much exactly how I feel.  

Turians go from looking like 80s rappers 



...to graceful, glorious fat ballerinas?

They're truly a species of many diverse talents 

I hope it's all good news. We're rooting for you, Techno!

Also, turians.

These Humans... getting wasted here, No damn respect for sacred temples.

Good thing this fat boy big boned could handle this drunk out of the place.

Hey, docsteely, get you ass back to PS3 land. Some of us would very much like to play turians with you

I feel bad. I have been neglecting my Turians. Please forgive me, oh Glorious Fat Space Birds.

Okay Turian lovers.

What is the best build for the turian sentinel? A lot of people love this class. Since I just started on the pc with a new manifest I actually skipped warp and built up the other abilities. (Which i am sure is stupid but I had to build for surviveability.)

So, how should I build him and how should I use him?

Here's my 56663 Headshot machine.

I still don't know if more fitness trumps more DR from tech armor, but I don't care. For me, you have to max passives and powers. Chain overload is better on him as warp can be used to significantly bring down barrier and you get a power boost from TA.

I don't get Neural Shock one bit, but that may be due to my use of a controller. Why would I drastically change where the enemies head is going to be? To stop an abomb? A head shot is better.

I find the TSent very survivable with only 3 points in fitness. I could probably do 0 if I wanted but as I said, I don't know if more DR trumps fitness level. I suppose a 46664 build id useful for more survivability, but I want my Warp/Overload to do the extra damage.

I always max turianpassives, overload, and warp like this. 

Split the rest between tech armor and fitness however you want, it really doesn't matter much between a 5/3 split or a 4/4  or whatever else for regular team game-play (match-making finds games for me roughly once in a blue moon so I predominately solo or duo and prefer 4/4). 

The fat turian's strengths, IMO, are as a debuffer and weapons class. The jetpackers and the cabal are more suited towards powers and melee gimmicks. If you're feeling like a champ put the Phaeston on that Turian and achieve fat Turian purity. If not, well, pick a weapon, any weapon you like. 

Although as is the case with the vast majority of ME3 MP builds, it doesn't really make a huge difference and there are very few ways you can break the fat turian sentinel. So play how you like and it'll probably be fine. 

I am NOT talking about the standard overload stagger, that is brilliant, but the ragdoll to ground that Neural Shock adds, THAT is terrible.

Excellent analysis. Exactly how i use him, with assault rifles in my case. But what about ammo??!!!I'm still undecided on the optimal choice.....
