Electronics
From Mass Effect Wiki
Electronics is a tech talent available to engineers, sentinels and infiltrators. Electronics can allow you to repair or bypass objects. Electronics increases the strength of your shields and the amount of hull restored when you repair the Mako. This talent grants the Overload ability (see below), which damages enemies and shuts down their shields.

[edit] Overload
The Overload ability is granted by the Electronics talent. Its use is modified in combination with other talents, including Damping.
Overload is best used at the beginning of a battle to give you an instant edge, allowing you to spend less time attacking an enemy's shield and more time killing them. It is effective against larger enemies like geth armatures and krogan battlemasters, who often fully recharge their shields when close to death. Overload will also damage the hexagonal 'Geth Barriers'.

[edit] Classes
The following classes have the Electronics talent tree:
- Engineer Starting
- Infiltrator Starting
- Sentinel Unlockable
- Quarian Machinist Starting
- Turian Agent Unlockable
- Asari Scientist Unlockable
- NOTE: Liara can learn Overload, but in the 360 version it is overwritten if she has any points in Stasis. The passive boost to shielding remains.
