Personally I like the Sentinel in 2/3 the best but in 1 they don’t really have the specific niche purpose that they seem to in the sequels, since all dual classes just get half of the powers from each.
ME1 I just go full Engineer and select AR training.
It’s always AR training.
I keep telling myself that I’m going to do a run with Sentinel or Soldier or anything other than Vanguard…but then I queue up Vanguard and do a complete run making the same choices as always 👍
It is what it is.
Soldier’s a ton of fun. Everyone craps on it because it’s really plain in ME1, but in ME2 and ME3, they REALLY overhauled the character. In ME2, adrenaline rush is just broken, especially with stuff like the Revenant. (oh, and you get the Revenant on your first playthrough.)
ME3 is ridiculous though. You get all the ammo powers, and you can chain ammo power explosions for everything but warp ammo with concussive shot. It’s kind of cheaty though, because if you take yourself, Garrus, and Ashley and equip everyone with Typhoon V-X, everything dies in seconds.
I’ve done a few different classes but think I’m better at distance so assault rifles and such are preferred. Cons like Andromeda would have been grand cos of jet packs and being able to jump in, slash, jump out again but I found ME original series a bit clunky for that.
So sometimes biotic, sometimes engineer.
I will say AR is definitely the best weapon in ME1. As you get into the game you can basically turn it into a shotgun or a sniper rifle depending on what ammo and gun mods you put on it.
Exactly, the thing is just the most versatile weapon and with unlimited ammo using it exclusively is no problem for any class.
I’ve never been able to get a handle on the Sentinel class, for some reason.
My favorite classes are Engineer or Adept. I’m doing an Infiltrator run now. I usually pick one class and keep it the entire time
I like that the Sentinel ends up having a tool for every situation. It’s good at handling armor and shields in 2/3, and gets a good defense option in tech armor. It isn’t as flashy as other classes, but it’s great all around.
