Combat, Biotics, or Tech == In which tree will you put more points?

Tech Abilities should not be underestimated here I think.

I chose pure combat since I will be going for a soldier build for my first playthrough. For my 2nd, 3rd and later playthroughs, I will choose whatever for that playthrough

The charging Vanguard still looks ridiculously powerful, with some of the options we've seen and about which we've read. There really are lots of great builds to be experienced, though. It's going to be fun to experience more than one in a single playthrough.[/quote]


Oh for sure, in 2 and 3 the risk part of the equation mostly gets removed even on insanity once you get charged leveled up. Separate cooldowns for abilities will open up things too I feel, instead of it being on the spammy side for your go to 1 or 2 powers.

So hopefully its still strong...but not one trick pony so to speak. Maybe something like backlash can be a fallback if you get into a bad situation after charging. The possibilities man, I'm so looking forward to this game!

I have no idea what passive skills I will choose, if I choose them at all. Ask  that question when I played the game. For now, I will stick with pure combat skills.

I'm probably going to go with a mixture of biotic and tech powers, with enough combat skills to get really good with a sniper rifle because I really love sniping.

My favorite class in the trilogy was Vanguard so for my first playthrough i think i will go for Biotics+Combat.

In the profile vid when they show a quick clip of Cora detonation a cryo combo, it looked like some kind of range upgrade had been chosen. That clip definitely had far more range than other clips of the cryobeam power we've seen.

There is a very high possibility that a heavy, high Burst DPS weapon, modified with a ME1 heat sink and turned it into a pair on a Soldier profile specced for weapon damage will become the most lethal class. Just switch to your duplicate every time their is an overheat and now you have sustained burst DPS. I am very doubtful that Bioware would think to balance something like this. It is usually the type of thing that gets overlooked by devs.

Pure Biotic!
I really miss biotic explosion

I voted for biotics/combat but I really don't know. I rarely ever used any of my powers in the original trilogy other then tech armor/barrier/defense matrix. My play style was basically maxing up my defensive powers so that i could basically walk out in the open, get shot at and still kill the enemies before they could take me down.

Probably gonna roll with Biotic/combat. It looks like there is no variant on the Phoenix VG ( I will miss the Biotic whips)..... , but i like how Biotic Charge looks to have a devastating effect. I will definitely be using that and will be using combat/soldier characteristics mixed in. And if this game is anything like ME3, I might be able to findarmor and helmets that might look similar to my Phoenix VG....
