Hi there, this is Shelledfade (some of you may remember me from inquisition, I was one of the first to solo perilous with the Reaver class)
Anyhow I have some pretty negative feedback for this games multiplayer, and this is all based on my experiences in gold mp.
Some quick feedback regarding the weapons in MP:
Assault rifles are too weak.
Pistols seem okay.
Snipers - The only weapon that is actually balanced for gold multiplayer, which would be the vanquisher sniper rifle. The rest, not so much.
Snipers - Again, even soldiers are going sniper simply because its that much better than assault rifles in mp.
Shotguns are just plain bad. I got the ultra-rare N7 Crusader shotty and I'd rather use a pistol.
Now some feedback regarding some specific classes that I've played:
Human Infiltrator (vanquisher sniper rifle required) and Human vanguard are the two best classes in the game. I'll explain why.
Human vanguard vs Asari Duelist comparison:
The duelists melee attack is way too slow compared to human vanguard, so if you're tanking in gold you simply can't keep up with the damage being dealt to you on duelist compared to vanguard. Their damage is probably close between the classes just because of how fast human melee is, the issue is that you can't sustain it on duelist like you can on vanguard when you need to hit enemies to regen your shield, because faster attacks will always be better. The problem here is that the animation is just too damn slow for the duelists melee attack. If it was faster, or maybe if the class attacked twice with the blade during the animation it would be better but sadly it isn't.
I would throw Krogan Gladiator in the mix as well compared to these two classes in regards to close combat/survival/melee in gold. It just doesn't compare, it's bad, and because we're talking about melee damage here, the gladiators animation is once again way too freaking slow compared to human vanguard. It just isn't viable in comparison. You think you're doing more damage on these other classes but you're really not because the animation is too slow.
Human infiltrator and vanquisher sniper rifle - I'd consider this the best class in the game right now.
I could probably solo gold at this point with it if I actually tried, if each round was just a survival round. Now obviously there's some 'Skill' involved with this class because you have to go for weak points/headshots constantly, but that's about as far as it goes. Krogan gladiators ? Please, you can kill them in like 4 or 5 shots with stealth. I've had scores in gold of 25k with this class, way beyond anything else I've played. Now mind you, there's some skill involved, but still.
Soldier is also just as good with a sniper but in terms of survival I prefer infiltrator, and the damage bonus with stealth is kinda more worth it on infiltrator.
(also human infiltrator is better if you're going for weak/point and headshot damage compared to other classes).
I've tried some of the other classes as well, but meh overall. If you're playing this mp and you're grinding gold and you want to do it fast, human vanguard and infiltrator (who is a decent shot) are definitely way better, so much better that I feel like they need to buff other classes to get them on par. I don't feel like human infiltrator or human vanguard needs to be nerfed because they're the only classes that are truly viable for gold in my opinion, the other classes just plain suck.
Ultra-rare super disappointing:
Lastly I want to close by saying the ultra-rare classes are pretty much crap from what I've played, and so are the guns that I've unlocked. If its that rare, make them good. Why the hell would regular rares or commons be better? It makes no sense, whoever is doing the balance in this game needs to factor that in because so far the multiplayer has been one massive disappointment in terms of player-rewards.
