The Salarian Architect, Yes This Guy

Uh, ok...so it's terrible then.

Damage wise, the Remnant VI needs the buff. 90 damage for a rank 6 evolve? Lolwut?

Seems the multiplayer abilities currently are missing the boosting abilities from singleplayer, but from what I understand that goes for everyting both weapons, abilities and kits.

Yes, it goes with the points you spend.

So if you were a soldier mostly, you'd go with the Soldier profile which gives you some buffs, however each point spent in combat abilities also boosts damage with all weapons - there's even a passive tree that will boost combat combos.

The same goes for bionics, and tech - each of them have trees where points spent will improve abilities from that tree.

In my insanity run, I did the pure soldier (Male Ryder, mostly professional responses - aka Mr "N7" Supa Soldirz), and started spending points on weapons I didn't use, purely to spend points in the tree so that the weapons I did use got buffed. It would also help boost the rank of the Profile in play (Soldier) so that those buffs also increased.

Basically, they should have likely adopted that system for multiplayer - it would pose a lore issue, since SAM is the thing that does all the Profile "magic", but it would have allowed people alot more flexibility in gameplay.

This couldn't go in the "Salarian Architect: Possibly The Worst Kit In the Game" thread?

VI needs some love but his survivability is fine.

VI will live longer if it's near you. It draw attention and you kill the stuff looking at it...

Has anyone tried the beam buff instead of the rockets? It's by far the superior choice in single player: fires way more frequently, melts shields, and primes while active.

Remnent VI was probably balanced around the SP were the player can get significantly larger buffs to construct damage and power damage. I used the VI in my first paythrough spec'd engineer with the Angara armor set and the VI did damage and essentially never died.

After bonuses I think it had close to or over 2000 HP and its beam and rocket did more than double damage at base so like 2-3 hundred DPS with a 10 second 200 damage rocket that detonates.

Cannot say the same for the MP, I have the Architect but haven't bothered using him yet. I've seen him in a couple games and its hit or miss, guy is either holding his own or on the floor multiple times a wave.

His cryo punch melee isn't half bad.

Cryo punch and barricade are the best parts of the kit by far. 

Then you look at the rest of the kit and it's like...

But I like Remnant VI. He's Zap. Or Poc.

At least he looks sexy af. Like as if he was wearing spandex from head to toe.

You need to get the Remnant VI up to X. That's when it truly shines.
