    I find the crusader too difficult to use at both close and long range, and too heavy to justify its mediocre damage

    then maybe we just play differently

    I would never use it on a power reliant character, but on my krogan battlemaster who is basically a soldier since I haven't unlocked that yet and hate vanguards

    it's pretty great

    human sentinel is still great because they are one of the two classes with both warp and throw
    human engineer has the two best tech powers and a decent distraction in combat drone
    human infiltrator has sticky grenades and can weaken things from cloak with cryo blast


    and human soldier is just as shitty as any soldier that isn't batarian

    you'd rather have tech armor than stasis?

    and combat drone over the geth turret or decoy?

    I think I might just be a reverse space racist

    Yup.

    Stasis is awesome

    On gold runs it is a total life saver

    see I really like the idea of the crusader but at rank 1 it is just not good enough for everyday use

    in other news, I just tried the area reave / cluster grenade combo drell adept for a lark

    god

    Yup.

    I guess the power damage and force bonuses at level 5 are pretty cool, but you've got a +50% cooldown penalty in the best of circumstances

    seems odd to want that power for a class based around a warp/throw combo

    the very first thing I did with him was kill four geth troopers in one shot, so that was a bit of an unfair bar to set

    but I am enamored with reave

    so much so that I am direly tempted to violate one of my most sacred taboos

    I really like human sentinel. You can either go for a very efficient caster-y build, or you can skip warp, and take the "instant cooldown when detonating explosions' on throw. Then you can just go around at -200% cooldown with heavy-ass guns, and still spam explosions (though weaker ones) when you need to team up with an adept.

    Human engineer is fabulous.

    And human soldier is a lot of fun if you properly utilize adrenaline rush.
    But the cooldown on throw is like... a second and a half anyway. Like, it'll recharge before it even hits the enemy half the time

    the only use I've found is being up close to something big like an atlas or brute and just letting go

    justicar doesn't have the insane raw burst that grenade drell does, but you aren't reliant on grenades and once you get the hang of using the bubble offensively you can still do some hideous things with it.

    I've been tooling around on mine and if i nail the timing i can solo a banshee on gold in about the time it takes me to cast three reaves. I run 200% recharge and the cooldown reductions on my reave.

    If someone else is helping me they just disintegrate

    What I'm saying is, it's worth it.

    yeah if you've got any kind of sane cooldown, that perk is pointless

    Which is why I was saying, it's kinda nice if you're going for a -200% plus tech armor heavy weapons dude

    yeah i mean it is difficult to use, but there is a good gun in there somewhere

    even at level 1 the thing has a higher DPS than any other weapon iirc

    i'm pretty sure the eagle is like, statistically the worst gun

    crappiest DPS in the game, and subpar accuracy and recoil

    it's a triple non-threat!

    As far as placement goes, a turret can be thrown wherever you feel like (including around corners) so that's handy. However, if you can get a lock-on to an enemy then your drone will immediately appear next to them, without the brief start-up time of the turret or the need to aim a throwing arc. This is especially handy for enemies peeking out of cover.

    I think EA forgot that the whole "you need a persistent internet connection for games" idea has to work both ways.
    Also, crusader. Not a fan so far.
    A co-worker of mine feels the same way, since apparently the reload takes forever.

    "If there's three guys, here, there, and over there (imagine the hand gestures), it's impossible to get all of them."
    "No it's not. Hit them with Charge, they get knocked back, fire the Crusader."
    "But then you have to take a day to reload."
    "Nope. Charge the second guy, knock back, melee, blow Barrier, melee again. No reloading, all dead, no problem."
    "You forgot the third guy."
    "No I didn't. He got taken out by the Asari with the sniper rifle."
    "What?"
    "You know that would happen."
    "Fine."
