Making the most out of the Explorer profile

I'm pretty sure that I'll be using Explorer for my next Favorite/build. My loadout will be Turbocharge/Tactical Cloak/... damn it, PeeBee's tech power. (I'm away from the game and drawing a blank.) Either Soldier or Infiltrator could work for this, but I like Explorer's bonuses.

Explorer has big bonuses to Biotic power damage and Tech power cooldown. So what I usually roll with is Throw, Incinerate and Overload/Energy Drain. Sometimes I'll swap Charge with Overload or Energy Drain.

This is the most obvious use for the Profile. I really like Sentinel, as well, for this type of build. The extra durability is useful when playing Insanity.

^ Pretty much. You'll want to use the best skill of each tree.

My first Explorer profile used Incinerate/Lance/Overload. Worked really well as a primer, a detonator, and a primer/detonator, but I wanted to mix it up for following runs. For that I'm still experimenting with them.

Throw+Flame Thrower+Overload

You have two Primers and two Detonators with the right skill tree. Throw and overload can work for long range and flame thrower works for short range. Overload eliminates shields and flamethrower works against armor. Add in cryo rounds and you can freeze then burst two enemies with throw. You can also prime two enemies with Overload then do a tech combo on both enemies with dual throw. Overload also gives you your shield back if you have that Tech passive (so you don;t have to rely on charge).  I am currently using this with the sentinel class though because I enjoy the Tech armor.

I use explorer with my pull+throw+charge favorite or my backlash+Charge+Shockwave favorite. The latter you can replace backlash with singularity (singularity+charge+shockwave) giving you two primers (shockwave and singularity) and two detonators (charge and shockwave)
