Forum:What are your favorite less-conventional Adept and Vanguard builds?

Hi all,

What are your favorite less-conventional Vanguard and Adept builds in single-player Mass Effect 3? I'm thinking of changing things up for the next playthroughs, but I'm not sure whether some playstyles are valid given the way powers work in ME3.

My current Adept character is a pretty cookie-cutter "all-rounder" (Energy Drain, Vindicator, Singularity instead of Double Pull). Is a "gun-warlock" build with Warp Ammo workable (I'm thinking of the biotic combos that Squad Warp Ammo and Amplified Concussive Shot could turn anyone but the tech-heavy characters into biotic-combo activators), or would a weapons-based Adept just be a weak copy of a playstyle better suited for weapons-based classes like the Soldier or Infiltrator?

My current Vanguard character is a "fire and magic" build (Eviscerator, Punisher, Inferno Grenade [Damage, Storage, Armor-Burner], Charge [Radius, Power Synergy, Barriers], Nova [Damage, Half-blast, Piercing], Incendiary Ammo [Damage, Headshots, Explosive Burst]). I don't have the Omega DLC yet, but I'm wondering whether a Lash-based build (in an imitation of the multiplayer's Phoenix Vanguard) or a non-Nova weapons-based build (not sure how it would work; I don't suspect the ME2-style Claymore Vanguard is going to be too effective given its weight, and nor am I sure how a more "melee"-oriented Vanguard would work) would be worth playing.
