Agreed, that's the only way to play.

picking anything other than vanguard is a mistake

i tried vanguard in 3
its a fun build but its literally unplayable because of all the sound effects it makes which cut off radio chat etc and you cant hear a damn thing so you miss a lot of the plot and radio banter etc

if it wern't for that it would be the best, but its literally unplayable because of that

Vanguards are great, you're insane.

Infiltrator > Vanguard > Sentinel > Adept > Engineer >>>>>> Soldier

Soldier is the true trash class, they're boring as fuck to play even if the skills are good to great depending on the game.

I'd switch Vanguard and Infiltrator but otherwise I agree

only thing Infiltrator needed was a cool melee attack when stealthed

like a omnitool backstab

i keep forgetting which one that is.
is that the jumpy chargey one?

Yeah it's the class wannabe Chads like to play.

It's not viable in multiplayer.

It is very viable on host.

Charge is the most fun power in the series. In 3, with Nova, it just gets even better.

And in the first game, they're arguably the best class in the game. If you want to just go by broken biotics, give them Singularity as the bonus power & they're the adepts with the addition of medium armor, shotguns, & Adrenaline Burst, which is amazing.

Vanguards take no skill to play.
---

can you tell me where the vanguard touched you?
---

Vanguard gives you access to medium-range weapons (pistols), close-range weapons (shotguns), and biotic powers. It's pretty much the jack-of-all-trades of ME classes.
---

i remember having a shitload of fun with the vanguard. Zipping around the combat area like the flash and laying down the stompage was a nice change of pace after my engineer playthrough.
---

do they have the charge in ME1?
---

Novaguards in ME3 multiplayer were cancer. Especially when they die in wave 1 and then rage quit

No, I think Adept was the only class that had its core ability in the series.

i only manguarded in silver and bronze.

i think i mainly only died on boss waves then. mostly due to charging the banshee at inopportune moments.

Adept in 1 was the best. You could just spam lift and push to send enemies flying off the map

Also broken due to the lack of GCD.

Vanguards basically do two things:

Charge > Shotgun

Rinse and repeat

Yeah, Vanguard was a bro-class.

Vanguard was the best

You guys should give Soldier a chance

Adrenaline Rush + Cryo ammo is brilliant
---

yeah, but Soldier is boring.
it's just shoot, shoot and more shoot.

if i want that, i'd just play CoD or some shit

Concussive Shot was pretty beast in 3.
---

Soldier in ME1 was fun for me because I'd pack my sniper rifle with damage-enhancing mods, then use high-explosive rounds.

vanguard nova in ME3 broke my old subwoofer

Sure, the most fun class was a mistake :/

The best thing in late game ME1 was shotguns with explosive rounds and damage mods. You basically turn it into a rocket launcher, with every single shot making your gun overheat but also killing anything stupid enough to be in front of you

Sniping in ME1 felt lame

There was no cool impact noises or headpopping like there was in ME2 & 3
---

I always play as engineer

So much this. It felt like crap in Andromeda.

Low tier but better than a space magic user.

I always wished they'd add Shepard using abilities based on your chosen class during cutscenes instead of just turning into generic soldier

They had this in that Citadel DLC, it was cool as hell. Next game they make, I hope their consistent.
