I want to do Infiltrator/Soldier hybrid if possible. So Tech/Combat probably.

Are there any fellow Vanguards here who are considering just full Charge+Nova+Third Biotic Ability Melee-Adept this time around?
The extra biotic explosions and biotic jump that replaces your jetpack are tempting. Vanguard has always delivered the best Biotic Superman Ball of Destruction experience. But will that be true in ME:A? I'm keeping an open mind.

But will that be true in ME:A? I'm keeping an open mind. Annihilation would be a nice third option, I'd think. Backlash will also be popular, perhaps. Lance is said to have an evolution that depletes barriers in lieu of cooldown. Since Charge recharges barriers and detonates, that could be fun. I'm not really a Charge+Nova guy, but I think this will be a popular combo.

I'm undecided yet. Traditionally I play a soldier first, Vanguard was my fave in ME2 though.
Guess I'll first take a look at the passive bonus and perks you get from the Profiles and then decide.

Probably going to go the route of more tech abilities with many dashes of Biotic and key focused abilities in combat

My main Shepard was a Vanguard, ending up very much in the Jacob vein (fire ammo, tossing enemies, pistol and assault rifle, sometimes charge, tossed in some techy shield boosting).
This Ryder, while also being male and of the same name(? maybe not?), may be rather different.
Invasion (Tech) is pretty much a given. So Tech. And Biotics is very likely. But I'm not necessarily into what a Sentinel profile offers.
So Tech/Biotics with exploration of advanced profiles or Explorer stuff. Possibility of full Tech. MAYBE.

I'm thinking combat for the passive gun specs I plan on using. Then even amount spread through biotics and tech for abilities and passives

The challenge for me will be in not making every character I play into a Biotic Charge monster. Probably with a hammer.

I never played as engineer in the trilogy so I'll probably choose mostly tech stuff.

I voted tech and biotics in the poll but it will be more tech early.
Tech: Overload Cryo beam Cloak Invasion Remnant VI (in my head this will be mind-blowingly good, even tho I know nothing about it) Passives (all, especially team support)
Biotics: Singularity Throw Lance Passives (barrier, offensive biotics)
Combat: Turbocharge Passives (ARs, pistols, health)
I'm planning to save the CQC skills like charge, annihilation, nova, shotguns and flamethrower for playthrough 2, assuming I can resist the urge to use them the first time around.

This thread needs a poll! Ask and you shall receive. Can I suggest that you change 'pure tech' to 'mostly tech', etc? I'm sure pure classes are viable but I doubt many people will resist taking a skill or two from other classes.

This looks fun. Is "Remnant VI" the skill that was "Unknown" in the first combat trailer? I missed it's reveal/discovery, it seems. I'm with you; it does sound good. It's going to be tough to choose one semi-focused path, before sitting down to actually play. I just keep thinking of ridiculously fun combinations, and I've not even seen all of the options and synergies, yet.

Not only does it look effective, but it's a remnant observer, complete with cloak and dangling, tech legs. That's kind of cool. I'm finally going to enjoy playing an engineer, in this game.

If you use an engi profile you can have three pets at once! As a side note, I wonder if any of the other skills we've seen start off 'unknown'. I'm thinking not, but powers like barricade and backlash/lance are new enough that we might have to discover them in Andromeda.

I'm thinking not, but powers like barricade and backlash/lance are new enough that we might have to discover them in Andromeda. Lash seems like a direct replacement for a handful of old powers. I think it's likely to be available by default. Barricade and Backlash seem like extremely useful skills. I can see those being very common choices for most in-your-face combat builds. I can't really predict availability on them. I like them both, though; and I'm likely to nab one or both, at some point.

I see myself going for a sort of hybrid between Vanguard and Sentinel. Both were my favourites in the original trilogy, though Sentinel drifted away from the Shotgun fortress it was in ME2. So I'll be building it around that idea.

I guess I have a few weeks to get it sorted. At least the point will be moot, by mid to high levels. I wish EA Access/Early Access were an option, for me. (PS4, here. ) I'd spend 10 hours in MP, trying out different play-styles, getting a feel for things.
