    The drone does one thing, really, and that is to pretty much completely negate a single enemy. It's not flashy like other abilities are, (although I thought that Soldier was hella boring) but it's a simple, effective tool that will save your life a thousand times(especially when recruiting Grunt). It's 'more gun' if you will.

    Know what else completely negates a single enemy? Charge + krogun to the face with incendiary ammo

    I have to say, as Vanguard, I really like the extra size shockwave, and pull field, for making whole groups of enemies completely useless. Combine them with the Inferno ammo, or maybe squad ammos and you have instant death on everything

    The husks tend to be completely non-threatening if you nail them with a shockwave

    that is a nice thing about vanguard.

    that 1000 year old krogan battlemaster charging at your puny human self?

    charge his ass right back

    then unload an inferno shot from your claymore and sent him rolling across the floor.

    then for good measure run up to him before he gets up and elbow him in the face to finish him off.

    I AM THE BATTLEMASTER.

    Man this kinda crushes the concept of Krogan a little bit

    I mean, you've got these guys who have seen multiple human lifetimes of action, and Shep's just like

    the only thing that would make it better is if Denzel Shepard stood over the krogan afterward and said "bitch, rachni ain't got nothing on me!"

    So I was doing some reading on ME2, and I found out that Reave doesn't work with Warp..... which is kind of odd, since it lasts long enough, unlike pull or slam which don't. Anyway, not sure what power layout to run on my future Sentinel now as a result. I was going 2 levels of Throw, full warp, full armor, 3 overload, 1 cryo, full defender and full reave.

    I was planning to use Garrus and Kasumi, which means no one to detonate my warp then. So I either keep reave and have a ton of points I barely ever use, or I take warp and use an alternate bonus.

    EDIT Hmm...can one be lazy and take Warp and Warp Ammo and have them work together? The detonate shouldn't work, but in theory a warped enemy should take the damage bonus from the ammo.

    There's a female envoy by the shaman on Tuchanka. Aside from slightly more feminine clothing, you can barely tell. And the voice is ever so slightly not as deep.

    You could be right, but if it isn't female then its the most feminine krogan I've ever seen.

    Alright alright, I'll concede this point. I had never talked to the envoy beyond the first interaction, where it says its the envoy to the female clans. After listening to the dialog, I agree now. But it also never comes out and says its a young male either. I just came to the wrong conclusion without enough investigation.

    The Mattock is really powerful, but man the Revenant is a satisfying gun to fire. Even with no upgrades it's reasonably accurate with short bursts out to medium range and you can still switch to continuous fire when you're getting swarmed. And it just sounds badass.

    In regards to Sovereign, is it explained how he escaped Dark Space? Was he not there to begin with?
