I was just wondering what the best class is to be on Mass Effect because I bought the game and have been playing it on a soldier class as a first time. I did not really know what all the powers were like but the point is i am not really into it and it seems like the sort of game i like, is it to do with the solider class, becausei am not too far in to restart (just at the first vehicle bit)

I heard the bionic class (forgot the name) is pretty cool to play as.

Soldier-You can be skilled in every weapon and wear Heavy armor. I love to run gun so this is the class for me. And before anyone says, "but what about biotics and whatnot?". That would be why I have Wrex, he's good with guns and powers.

im not sure what class i started with is called (its the one with the biotic powers and pistol+shotgun) but its awesome. at first i regretted it because i couldnt use the sniper rifle, but once i started upgrading and using the biotics, it made combat so much more fun

The vanguard is the most fun, but the soldier is the most effective.

Well I've only dived into the soldier class but I find it the best for "unity" I believe it's called. It's basically an AoE revive of your teammates when they're down, not sure whether it's the best class or not but it certainly seems to be the most forgiving (unless the unity perk comes with all classes).

I played through easily enough as a soldier. I had two group members which could use the various other powers, that was when it first came out though. I started playing again today as an Infiltrator (I think that's what it is called).

Soldier class is a good starting one, because it's the only one that can let you equip heavy grade armor, which of course means you'll be able to soak up more damage before it can kill you. Once you start getting better and learning the mechanics, any of the classes can be good.

I started out on Vanguard, using all the biotics and getting close quarters kills makes the game more engaging.

My favorites are the 'pure' classes with a bonus skill:

1) Soldier w/Bonus Biotic Skill or Engineering Skill = FUN. Unlimited Grenades or Lift or...

2) Engineer w/Shotguns or Assault Rifles = FUN. Boomguns are my favorite though, just 'cause it looks cool.

3) Biotic w/Shotguns or Assault Rifles = FUN. Same as the engineer.

I've started the game again as a vanguard, so far it has seemed to be a good idea, but it has been slow to start

I actually enjoyed lifting my enemies and then blowing them to pieces with my shotgun. It made combat a lot more interesting.

Haha.. the first half of the post seems to be talking about the hybrid 'vanguard' class, and the second half is trashing it. :( I agree with the Vanguard being a ton of fun - about halfway through the game it just turns into an unstoppable tank anyway. You are pretty much every bit as effective with a shotgun or pistol as a soldier would be, except you also get lift/throw to disable people or knock them out of cover. By that point of the game, nothing ever managed to crack through my shields for the armor to matter anyway. This might just be a PC thing, but I just replayed the game on PC with a Vanguard and then an Infiltrator - the infiltrator was a ton of fun, mostly because the sniper rifle was one-shot KO city. HE rounds + assassination turned the sniper rifle into basically a cannon that would frag whatever I aimed at along with his buddies. The soldier was pretty boring in comparison to the other hybrid classes - but Biotic was quite a bit of fun. It took a lot of getting used to using the powers before it clicked, thoughl.

But easy to miss... well, unless you exploit the menu and aim whilst the game is stopped, I know I did for the last boss.
