As title.I have a level 7 N7 armor. The N7 torso has one slot for mods. What is the best mod to use in that slot and where to buy it?All the mods I have has some advantage with serious disadvantages. Is there a mod with pros, without cons? I have a biotic build.

Only one you should be using is the fusion mod of adrenaline. Reduces your recharge speed by 50%, however on every kill it recharges all your skills immediately. This allows you to practically spam skills during combat. You get it on havarl - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStvyoPlQts if you need help getting it.

I also didn't use any. Didn't judge justified using them, even after the halved penalty perk. Perhaps if it was already halved at the start, then halved again. The negative perks make it feel like it's one of those things people like to use to make the game harder, not easier. The one that makes you get damaged when evading ... that would be my preferred choice. Aside the fact you can be ganked and cannot be damaged by some reason, you can use charge to 'dodge' at some degree too. But I wasn't even compelled to try. For me, that was one of the things that completely failed to grasp my interest.

Use the one that boosts your biotic power damage or recharge speed. If you wanna be tanky then the hp/shield ones Cannot remember what cons it have or which architect/vault gives it to you however.All of them gives you negative stats as well which can be halved by developing one of the Cryo Pods at the right place. I think its at the Science tab.

For Biotic builds, I prefer the Fusion Mod of Rapid Deployment. This mod increases Recharge speed of all powers by 50% and puts a 30% penalty on Weapon Damage. The nice thing here is it's not restricted to just biotics, it's all powers. So if later down the road you decide to swap in a tech or combat power, it still works. You can take the cryo pod perk that reduces the penalty by half giving you a 50% recharge increase and only a 15% decrease in weapon power. If you're using a Biotic build, you are likely not using your weapon that much anyway, and most Biotics use high damage shotguns that honestly don't seem to be effected much by a 15% decrease. This mod is obtained by activating the vault on Kaadara. Another good one is the Fusion Mod of Biotic Mastery which gives you a 30% boost to biotic damage with the cost of 20% reduction in all other damage. I don't like this one as much because I prefer the recharge speed bonus of the previous mod, but this is still a good way to go. This mod is earned by defeating the Architect on Eos. The Fusion Mod of Adrenaline is a good mod, but in my opinon is situational. Most time you'll be rapidly racking up kills, but as said before in fights with larger enemies, this mod can be a serious draw back. In the end, it's up to you.. there is no such thing as the 'best mod' or the 'worst mod,' it just depends on your build and play style.

@sblantipodi Most powers I have seen that use shields as a source use a percentage of the shield to power them, such as Lance I think uses 45% of your shields...so honestly if you have base of 100pts of shield or 1000 pts it wouldn't make a difference in the number of uses, because the % used is the measure. The only difference would be how long it takes to recharge them, but personally I feel shields and health are a combo stat to make the total number to kill me, so losing one to game equal of another means a net zero gain to me and not worth it....someone else may have different take and maybe then can explain in a way to make a case for using it....

I'm going with this for my Vanguard build. With the pod -10% to other damage is negligible, but 30% makes a difference. I find recharges being fast enough as it is (for annihilation/charge melee style anyway).

That's also a good way to go, no real wrong answer.. just personal preference.

Bonus Damage is always a good thing, I have found that both mods work really well. I also use a ton of biotic augments on my crafted gear for Biotic Damage and Recharge. When you put it all together, you can pretty much spam high damage biotics at will. Quite a bit of fun. 🙂

i've found that i rarely use mods, as imho most of the negative traits don't seem to balance all that well, or they just don't fit my play style.

Tend to agree with this. They are of the min/max state of mind, for them to really be beneficial pretty much have to focus on the positive side of it. Perhaps not counting the Adrenaline one.
