Krogan Sentinel: The Beast
Re-discovering some older kits has been an interesting experience in the course of doing the challenges. For a long time I disliked the original turians and most krogan for the lack of mobility and dodge, because I would find myself sync-killed so often. Now, more experience and knowledge of the game has helped me re-appreciate these kits. Looking over the list in the BBLoB, my favourite Krentinel build, one which maxes out both incinerate and lift grenades, isn't there. So here it is.
This is a largely close quarters build, but not a melee build. If fighting multiple mooks, a lift grenade or two at the feet tends to do the job. Incendiary ammo and incinerate are great taking down bosses or anything with armour without breaking a sweat.
Feel free to swap out that Raider for a Claymore, Wraith, Piranha, Graal or whatever your shotgun of choice is.
Remember that lift grenades detonate combos only on health, and anything that is health will die to them anyway, so don't bother trying to prime and set off explosions. Its not efficient.
I feel a 3-5 split between Tech Armour and Fitness gives me the most tankiness to survive those CQC encounters. You can experiment with 4-4 split if you want.
Fast becoming one of my go-to builds for carrying iffy gold lobbies. FOOOOOOOOOOR TUCHANKA! MWAAAAARGH!
