In me1 would u consider infiltrater much better then engineer?

Hello 👋 so I'm trying to do the engineer class in mass effect 3 but it's my first time using it and I want it to be good. So I'm asking any one who has played engineer class before for advice on best powers, bonus power and weapons for the class please and thank you.

Cry ammo not usefull on insanity? Did we play the same game? For the mere setup of 2 casts of squad cryo ammo (and switching your squads weapons in between) they will freeze everything around you. Take squad members with assault rifles or smg's. It worked in the OG ME2 and ME3, it worked in the legendary edition. This makes killing collectors a breeze. Setup the squad ammo for your squad, then apply your own ammo, I like warp ammo on infiltrator and use the fire ammo on vanguard. Only shame about squad cryo ammo is that it took me to almost the suicide mission on my first run to figure out how strong it is. On my vanguard run it was one of the first things i unlocked.

2:00 Yeah your entire argument here is undercut by the fact it's taking you forever to take out this armature. In ME1, assault rifles are king. Idc if you're the infiltrator and have maxed out sniper rifle, assault rifles do every gun's job better. A good assault rifle will melt this armature in seconds, even if your class can't level that talent

Good video! Personally though I would recommend AP ammo in ME2 nearly exclusively, it rips through all defenses very efficiently. The only time I’d use another ammo is when fighting geth, disruptor is noticeably better against them as it can disable them for a brief moment every time you hit them once their shields are down.

Engineers are, in ME2 and 3 at least, the easy mode of any difficulty setting. I found that aside from Insanity mode I could play almost the entire game without shooting, certainly there were almost no missions where I needed to pick up ammo, and most of the time didn;t even use a full clip. And while I didn't manage to get through insanity with any class on zero Shepard deaths I definitely suffered the least deaths by far with Engineer. In ME 3 I minimised my weapon load out to put cooldowns at 200% and there's no looking back. What I have observed is many people playing Engineer like a soldier with some neat different abilities and so completely failing to capitalise on the strengths of this class. When fighting geth alongside Tali it's almost comical to just sit and watch as the drones and turret and hacked geth do all the fighting for you, along with the occasional overload to help the minions out.

For ME1 on insanity the name of the game is crowd control. Never leave home without Liara. Lift and singularity are your best friend on Liara. You can also get lift and throw. Between the two of you you will have a hard time getting pinched and you can also easy mode Saren at the end of the game. Then you just need to be cautious for the long long range situations because you'll take more damage than you think.

I’ve played Sentinel a lot and still learned some neat stuff in this video, thank you for sharing and for boosting the most underrated class. I know no one asked but I always play Sentinel on my main playthroughs (sometimes another biotic class in 1). My headcanon is that his biotics were made stronger by the beacons and mind-melds with asari and that when Cerberus rebuilt him as basically a cyborg he was from then out a sort of technomancer. The sentinel tankiness embodies that bit from the Spectre induction speech, “our first, and last, line of defense.” Take care fellow Commaners Shepard, this one hopes the Enkindlers shine the light of their wisdom and compassion upon you all.

Just saying, armor piercing ammo let's you merc just about anything on the battlefield and destroy everything yourself in ME3. God forbid you max out Garrus' AP ammo and Turian Rebel skills and give the extra 50% damage to his assault rifles. You can have him doing over 250% weapons damage, plus your 175% weapons damage not counting Adrenaline Rush, plus your other squad mate's abilities.... Utter carnage

AP ammo is my all around go to in ME2, paired with the mattock and everything dies incredibly quickly. In ME3 however I find the concussion shot amplification on incendiary ammo to be better for dropping enemies as fast as possible, just shoot them til they start burning then hit them with a detonation from the concussive shot. AP not having an effective concussion amplification really hinders it as a bonus ability, I usually end up taking energy drain instead to deal with shields and to bolster my survivability without slowing cooldowns. The only time I take AP in ME3 is if I want a ‘no power’ challenge run.

I did infiltrator on 1-3 but restarted my run because infiltrator was too easy in ME3 even on insanity. It gets huge time dilation with snipers. Buy the black widow, max out time dilation and headshot dmg then stealth 90% dmg + 40% sniper dmg and the game becomes trivial. Plus there is a trick where you can go max dmg on all abilities with no cooldown and with stealth activated your recharge will be based on your stealth cooldown. Not the ability used during stealth. Plus you can get a sniper shot in and an ability before stealth ends. Just take your shot then use an ability immediately after. The damage is absurd.

Huh, I wonder if I am just a weirdo with my insanity ME3 Soldier playstyle. It is such a power-dependent playstyle that I used Inferno Armor (30% power damage, 30% power cooldown), which I then upgraded later to Cerberus Spirit Armor. I max Incendiary Ammo first with explosive ammo, max Concussive Shot with Amplification, then max Cryo Ammo for squadmates. I get Energy Drain as my bonus power for shield and barrier takedown as well as for shield recharge. Adrenaline Rush is then specced for shield regen and survivability. The play style is thus: use high fire rate weapon and slap Incendiary Ammo on it, put Cryo ammo on squadmates. If the enemy is Shielded or Barriered or maybe a synth, full automatic on its face with Energy Drain on cooldown (may change to Disruptor Ammo if it's a tough enemy). If Armored or Red Health, full automatic with Concussive Shot on cooldown. With 200% cooldown reduction, ED is 2.3 sec cooldown and CS at 1.4 sec, so that's a lot of DPS. As for emergency survivability, if there is a shielded/barriered/synth, hit it with an ED to not only 100% shields but also 40% damage reduction. If none, use AR to get some shields, damage reduction, and time dilation to run to cover before counterattacking.

@@NeightrixPrime You're right about the individual squad mates' ammo powers are more powerful. In fact, they were TOO powerful for my taste, especially Garrus' AP. They made the squad mates better killers than me. I am the MC damn it! :p Besides, Cryo has Damage Combo. Also, Incendiary Ammo's Explosive Burst is additional AoE 100 damage per proc so the more times it procs the better the DPS that's why it's better for higher fire rate weapons

A pretty solid video I think. would be curious to know your thoughts on armor preferences for each class. vanguard is my favorite class in ME3, and I love the charge + nova combo. my build uses upgrades for shield strength, power damage and power cooldown reduction. I generally don't use the split nova, or the penetrating nova, as I find they do less damage overall, and it isn't that hard to strip protections like shields or barriers with energy drain as an extra power, or an ammo power from a squadmate.

Something I like to do as an Infiltrator in ME3 is using a shotgun as my main weapon, and leaving the long-range sniping to a handcannon like the Paladin. That way I get to exploit the insane mobility and impunity Tactical Cloak offers, putting myself behind enemy lines, exploding heads point-blank and being an escape artist. A good way to not get melted as soon as Tactical Cloak wears off is speccing it so it lets you fire ONE power during it without breaking it. You Sabotage your targets at close range and blast them, so that when you become visible they can't retaliate with their overheated guns. Plus, you can spec Sabotage to make enemies take more damage for a while, so it all synergizes very well.
