      Ditto but I usually play as Engineer first in any game that has an Engineer class. I actually played my first two Mass Effect 1 and 2 playthroughs at my best friend's house then got Mass Effect 2 almost as soon as I got a PS3 (I would have gotten it with my PS3 but the store I bought the PS3 at was sold out of copies so I got Fallout: New Vegas then got Mass Effect 2 the upcoming weekend) and played through as an Engineer again.
      My first and third Mass Effect 3 runs were as Engineer then I did another Mass Effect 1 Engineer run once the trilogy collection was out. What's funny is once Andromeda was announced I decided to do trilogy runs as each class before it came out but there I saved Engineer for last because I wanted to reward myself by holding my favorite class until I was done with the others. And my only, so far, Legendary edition run was as an Engineer.

    Soldier is my fave just because of how well it can easily fit with basically any squad comp. There are so many squad mates with biotic and tech powers, playing soldier allows for an easy amount of balance. Plus with how little pure soldiers there are in your squads, it adds to the role play of the games. You’re Commander Shepard, a basic human soldier who has been trained on the razors edge to become the greatest warrior in the galaxy, all without any biotic or tech based powers. Just guns & grit. Poetry.

    As a loyal Sentinel player, the class is so good. You can deal with any situation, including priming and detonating things by youself. Add on that Throw can basically get you a nice breather if people come up on you it's hard to beath. Though on Insanity it does feel less godlike, since even with tech armor enemy damage can rip your shields apart pretty quick.

      Insanity playthrough also increases detonation damage, making primers and detonator combos more powerful and important.
      Sentinel, especially a high cooldown speed build, is one of the few classes that can actively *solo* everything the game throws at it in Mass Effect 3. It can prime and detonate every single type of combo with the right build. Companions aren't even necessary, and it's still tanky enough to handle any incoming damage.
      I'm a tiny bit salty that it got put into S-tier for ME3 instead of God-tier because God tier is where it belongs.

      In ME3, the infiltrator is farcically god-tier. Combine the i) black widow with ii) Marksman as your extra power, and the iii) "use one free power" evolution of cloak, and you can do the Shepard mirror match in the Armax Arena on Insanity without pausing combat.

    I pretty much agree with this tier list besides the Engineer and Infiltrator in Mass Effect 1 not being in S/A tier... the Engineer can be almost as good as the Adept with the tech explosions and the fact that all the powers do health damage along with their natural damage, you could really put groups of enemies in a hard spot when used with good timing, and the Infiltrator can 1-2 shot enemies including sub bosses and bosses if you pour everything into the sniper stat and use the right weapon mods, yes it makes your character a glass cannon essentially but the point of that class is to take combat from afar anyways as long as you hit your shots you can take care of anything except maybe colossi because they have a lot of health for days but i know i damn near 2 shotted Saren with HE rounds. To be fair it was on hardcore not insanity so i could entirely wrong in this regard but its just from my experience. Fun video as always

      My first character was an infiltrator and I don't think they get enough credit. They ranked the same as Vanguard in this list, but because they can decrypt in ME1, and because they can fight at any range, unlike the Vanguard, they are far superior even with biotic nonsense. Bypassing fights is broken, but not even nessisary, and when weapon choices get unlocked in 3, it really opens up multiple playstyles.

  • @RStr23

    Vanguard in ME2 insanity starts weak but turns into a god real fast. You get IFrames from shield break and charge, and with max CD reduction you get crazy uptime on just being immune to damage. Sniper nests are still annoying but the Kasumi gun early helps a lot with them. Charge, shotty, punch clears almost everything. By mid game the only thing a well built vanguard has to fear is charge bugging out.

    Soldier in ME3 can proc the ammo effect on enemies with concusive shot and then trigger them with a follow up concusive shot assuming cooldowns are low enough.

      NGL I usually play to the derelict collector ship ASAP so I can pick up AR training and get the Mattock. Well actually, these days I just mod the game to allow weapon selection and then get as close as I can to the ME3 system with it.

    I usually play Sentinel and I can confirm that it isn’t good in ME1 but it class almost doesn’t matter in ME1. But Sentinel is an absolute tank in ME2 and ME3. And the Tech Armor is OP as hell! Don’t have anymore Medi gel? Just use tech armor? Need to charge through an area or just want to skip the fighting? Use Tech Armor and run straight through the line of fire. Your regular armor really weak? Just keep tech armor on cause you can use it so often. Getting surrounded? Use Tech Armor as extra protection while you dart into the line of fire to find new cover. Low on ammo? Use tech armor, when enemy bullets destroy the armor it creates a powerful knock back explosion. Tech Armor ensures that you are never backed into a corner, no matter the situation. Tech Armor and the entire class in general is OP as all get out. It combines some of the deadliest and coolest biotic powers with easily some of the best tech powers. It is pretty much Vanguard but with fewer biotic abilities and the bonus of OP tech abilities. If you are playing on insanity difficulty you need to give Sentinel a shot. Easily my favorite class in the series.

    The one thing i was kinda hoping the remake would do was give each class a unique interaction like the Engineer.

    Adapted could be the one putting up the barrier in the suicide mission.

  • @BigLulu22
    @BigLulu22 9 месяцев назад +8

    I think ME1 Soldier should be higher while ME2 and 3 Soldier should be lower tbh. ME1 sentinal also seems a little high when compared with Adept since I think they share alot of the same weaknesses, but other than that I mostly agree with what's been said here. A good potential follow up video would be on the ME3 multiplayer characters if you've played it, since some of them introduce new and interesting abilities and playstyles.

  • @Enclavefakesoldier
    @Enclavefakesoldier 9 месяцев назад +2

    Been waiting to for this for a while. So my two cents after playing these classes through the trilogies on insanity.
    Soldier: Absolute juggernaut in ME1, Discount Max Payne in 2. Detonation and DPS machine in 3.
    Adept: Bioware was on red sand when they made them in ME1, Nerfed horrendously in 2, mad bomber in 3.
    Engineer: Not that great in ME!unless you have AI hacking maxed. Can lock down and shred most defenses in 2. Combat maestro in 3 that can control the battlefield.
    Vanguard: A match made in heaven in ME1. Shotgun Wizard!
    A raging bull in ME2 thanks to charge. But sadly snubbed due to wonky targeting. ME3: Its potentiak fully realized IF you play smart. Know when to charge, when to tank, and watch out for sync-killers.
    Infiltrator: the last thing you'll never see in ME1. ME2: taken literally thanks to cloak along with some speed run strats! ME3: now you can nuke from long range and close range!
    Sentinel: Flexible AF. You want to debuff or crowd control, they on it. The pistol and lack of marksman is a fair trade. ME2: Flexible tank that can shred any protection and is a walking bomb. ME3: Just fantastic. So many ways to deal with enemies and theres even a way to make yourself temporarily invincible using defense matrix, tech armor and the sentinal melee kill skill buff on their fitness tree. You can do the Superman pose in front of a cerberus turret.
    Also, Joe's gaming skills are as a good as his diplomatic skills. Which explains a lot.

    Does Adrenaline Rush not give you a damage boost besides slowing down time? Because in ME2 and ME3 everytime I activate it I go from damaging enemies quite a lot to outright melt them down completely.
    Maybe its because I play on normal and this does not apply to Insanity, but I swear Adrenaline rush kind of destroys enemies when activated 🤔

  • @jaded-harper
    @jaded-harper 9 месяцев назад +6

    having beaten the trilogy on insanity multiple times as different classes soldier is easily the most busted tbh. same reason best dps in me3 multiplayer is n7 destroyer. shooting things with tons of passive weapon dmg buffs is far better than any cc or utility that tech/biotic powers give u. survivability isnt really a mechanic to worry about in any of the mass effect games when u can stand on walls and never get hit by anything lol. boring but it is what it is

    • @Shvabicu
      @Shvabicu 9 месяцев назад +3

      In ME1 you're also straight up invincible. The survivability is nuts. In ME2 AR+Mattock trivializes the game. ME3 your dps is still bonkers and you can also play mage just spamming incendiary conc shot and blow up everything.

    Honorary mention to shotgun infiltrator for being the only other viable shotgun main other than classic vanguard. I was one of the early trailblazers using it in ME2 and immediately started maining it on Salarian infiltrator in ME3 multiplayer. Nothing was as satisfying as running up as a salarian assassin wielding the heavy krogan claymore like some cursed fusion of salarian and krogan warfare.

    • @KopperNeoman

    For sentinal. It is the tankiest class in the games. You can stack tech armoR AND barrier before a fight. And during the fight whenever your shields go down, you just alternate between those 2.
    I was able to never have to worry about cover as sentinal. I would just stand in the middle of a room and constantly be casting tech/biotic spells and reapplying shield as needed.
    No need for cover, no need for guns.

    I just think that mass effect 2 soldier should be at least A tier, the class is ridiculously strong If you maximize adrenaline boost, shock trooper, disruptor and inferno ammo.
    Barriers and shields are not a problem if you use adrenaline boost and the right ammo types for each encounter, and be able to use AR, shotguns, pistols and sniper makes you a beast that cannot be stopped at any range

    @kappapride6332 5 месяцев назад +1

    tl;dr me2 adept is underrated because its fun comes from getting better at it on your own rather than by simply leveling up
    While I agree that ME2 adept was nerfed to the ground (that and ME2's overall stiffness in movement) I think that also paradoxically makes it one of the most fun classes. Somehow ME2's biotic detonations weren't mentioned? These things were powerful even before ME3 and that not mentioning the ability to one shot husks with ragdolling abilities once they're stripped of their protection.
    ME2 Adept is underrated specifically because it takes a while to get the most out of it player skill wise. Kind of like a puzzle for you to solve. Where to place down your singularity for a better result? Can you use your surroundings to your advantage to send enemies flying out of bounds ME1 style? Sure you can't use lift to deal with heavy enemies anymore but you CAN use singularity to slow them down. For example, Scions. ME2 Adapt is very much a "figure it out" class rather than level up so you can do better damage class. Which to me makes it so fun and replayable.
    My first ME2 adept run on normal was abysmal. I was so bad I didn't even know I could do biotic explosions (I only learned about it when I started replaying ME3 this is how bad it was). Spent some time watching other people play this game, and kept improving my Adept runs until I was somewhat satisfied with myself. Don't regret it one bit. The most fun gaming experience I've ever had aside from Citadel DLC.
    There's a guy on youtube that made a series of me2 adept tutorials which helped me improve. Check out ThatAverageGatsby. He hasn't uploaded in 10 years but his tutorials are still great imo.
    And honestly "you can't use big guns as an adept" is such a weak argument against this class in general. My brother in Christ, we don't need big guns when we have M-6 Carnifex, SMG Locust (or Tempest) and biotic explosions. You can go through the entirety of ME3 only ever firing during scripted events.
    On another note this class can be pure hell without squadmates lol (damn you arrival dlc)
    It's a very squadmate reliant class from my experience. Which I guess helps you to learn to order your squad better instead of doing everything on your own .
    Oh, and I know this is about the OT, but I would also like to mention that biotics in ME:A are a lot of fun. Beautiful purple explosions everywhere. Very satisfying.
