Quite honestly, Soldier is the easiest class to play on. All the other classes look kinda weak compared to it.
I used the search bar, your thread, nor any others related to classes, came up when searching for "Mass Effect Class". Feel free to check yourself if you don't believe me.camokkid said:the search barEternal_24 said:I was thinking about buying Mass Effect 2 upon its release and figured that playing the first Mass Effect game was probably a good idea (especially since it was only £3 on Steam). My problem at the moment is deciding which class to choose. At the moment I'm leaning towards Adept and Vanguard but I'm not sure whether to go with Solider instead because of the ability to carry different guns capable of dealing with any situation rather than being bound to close range.
Long story short, I need help choosing which class to go with. If you vote, please leave a reply too with the reason for your choice.
Thanks
I did an almost exact same thread a while ago.
Does the Engineer have any decent offensive abilities?carpathic said:
It annoys me when people do that too lol. I honestly don't see the point in buying a sequel to a game which you haven't played.idon said:

Thanksforce powersbiotics and close range attacks too their maximum abilities.
unbelieveabley tough. I've survived three rockets with this combo.
I would say Solider because you get some pretty powerful weapons and you can get your squad mates to use their tech and biotic powers on enemies.
From the information I've read and heard there isn't restriction on armor in ME2. I'll try to find a source.Souplex said:

Read four questions down.
Yes, but he asked what he should do for ME1, and you can switch your class between games even if you bring over save files.Ayrav said:
I voted for soilder not because its the best class. (all classes are pretty balanced in mass effect unlike dragon age where mages look at something funny and it dies} I voted for soilder because he is the best guy for a first playthrough, he is simple to use and easy to understand.
It doesn't much matter. Pistols are easily the best weapon type in the game, and everyone can use them. Adepts and Vanguards give you great combat control with Biotics, but the Soldier/Infiltrator can give you better survivability with Immunity and slightly better damage output. You can always fill any holes in your arsenal with a squadmate like Liara or Tali.
I played Adept and Soldier first to get achievements completed.

Adept. I never had a problem w/ any enemy in the game while playing as an adept. For me, it is also the most fun. Warp, lift, barrier and singultary(sp?) are your friends.

All classes are good as long as you use them properly and what this guy here says about the adept is a little off. He says the Vangaurd is better at biotic powers than the adept because of adrenaline. While it is true you can redo all the powers you just did a vangaurd can't use the far more powerful biotics which the adept can. This doesn't mean the vangaurd is bad it just means it can use weaker soilder abilities and weaker adept abilities in balance which can be effective. The vanguard is just as good as every other class.CmdrGoob said:
But they really aren't offensive abilities. Honestly, the only "offensive" abilities in the game are Overload and Warp. The rest of your offense is all weapon related. The Engineer and Sentinel have the least damage-oriented skill points, and thus are the weakest offensive classes.VioletZer0 said:
