I decided to include myself in the survey, because it's an internet survey and rules no longer apply.



1. Infiltrator (Skippable fights)

2. Adept

3. Warp

4. Warp

1 if it's a speed run than infiltrator hands down - because entire levels can be skipped and many others shortened - not sure if that's what you're after though.
2 Infiltrator but not by much over soldier.
3 Cloak
4 Reave - love the animations but it is way overpowered.

exactly this, except ive never used reave (didnt really see what use it had).

the one thing i dont like about cloak is that once you come back, even if youre on the other side of the map and behind cover, the bad guys somehow know where you are. pretty annoying...

I will calculate your first three asnwers as Infilt., Infilt, and Cloak then. Your fourth will be omitted.

Also, for all of you, and I am sorry I did not make this clear, by most effective at swiftly completing Insanity, I was referring to total completion time. So skippable fights count and deaths count against your time.

[Jedi Sensei]

1) If reload deaths count towards game-time, then Engineer is 'swiftest'. (probably)  If they don't count, Vanguard.
2) Vanguard, hands-down
3) Tech Armour
4) Charge!!


Actually, I almost went with Reave or Incindiary/Inferno Ammo for #3.  Take that for what it's worth.

1) Vanguard (key word=swiftly, Soldier is probably safer, but not as fast)
2) Vanguard, Soldier second
3) Charge, because it makes you invincible when used properly. Adrenaline Rush close second.
4) Charge - I have yet to see cooler power in any game I have ever played

Word for word my opinion (except that instead of soldier I'd say infiltrator).

[Shep309]

1. Vanguard

2. Soldier/Infiltrator

3. Reave

4. Area Reave

[TheBellTolls4Me]

1.) Vanguard or Infiltrator



2.) Sentinel or Vanguard



3.) Assault Armor



4.) Squad Cryo Ammo

[Tlazolteotl]

1) Vanguard
2) Infiltrator
3) Adrenaline Rush
4) Engineer Shepard's combat drone

And ... that's why I've attempted engineer more often than any other class for "one life" runs, and only ever succeeded with an infiltrator.


Edit:
On the subject of skippable fights, I've done that with Charge, AI hack, Adrenaline Rush, and Dominate .. in addition to Cloak.
Just 'cos you're being shot at somewhat doesn't mean you can't just make a dash for it.

It can be done with any class on Mordin's recruitment easily

[Akinra]

1. Vanguard
2. Vanguard
3. Charge
4. Charge

Yup another vanguard addict

[iamdoingthat]

1.
2.  Adept
3.  Singularity
4.  Throw

[HappyStasis]

1. Infiltrator

2. Infiltrator

3. Cloak

4. Incinerate



Soldier is probably the closest competitor for a fast run. Atleast if you discount the Vanguard due to all the time that is wasted from dying. Also dying a lot can get pretty frustrating sometimes, which leads to the vanguard not being my favourite on Insanity.

[cruc1al]

1. infiltrator (if tie was an option I'd say infiltrator or vanguard)
2. infiltrator
3. drone
4. charge

[rumination888]

1.) Vanguard(I would've said Infiltrator if I included safety)
2.) Infiltrator
3.) Adrenaline Rush(I would've said Tech Armor, but it cannot be used to its full potential in certain encounters, like the Reaper Larvae)
4.) Charge

[Haasth]

1.) Sentinel
2.) Engineer
3.) Tech Armor
4.) Incinerate

Sentinel is from my experiences one of the most capable classes in Mass Effect 2. Incredible durability, can take down almost any armor and given a shotgun or sniper rifle does that very well too.

I think it is too 'hybrid' however and prefer fully Engineer or fully Adept although I find Adept lacking compared to Mass Effect 1 and thus my second answer is Engineer.

The best ability is definitely Tech Armor, although not a favourite as I don't really enjoy being the 'shield' much. Even on higher difficulties this really saves your life constantly, you can take more damage and you can instantly restore your shields with this if they go down normally.

Most fun is, imo, incinerate (Though I don't even like fire that much ) as you see them scream and burn and constantly take damage. It is also incredibly effective in almost any situation. 

[FoFoZem]

I am really enjoying these data. Thank you everyone for your replies. The sample size for each field is reaching 40 so I will probably stop at noon my time. That's 2pm ET.

[SmokeyNinjas]

1. Infiltrator.
2. Vanguard.
3. Dominate.
4. Charge.

Put me down for reave then - I was just pointing out that it does make even insanity a little too easy at times - it's still my favorite to use though.

[bear_faced]

1) It's between Engineer and Sentinel

2) Either of the above, or Adept

3) Tech. Armour or something fairly standard like Throw, simply for it's frequency-of-use

4) Again, something simple like Throw, just because I like to see it curve.

OP Updated. Interesting stuff. Currently working on distributions for powers and then moving on to Inferences.



THough this survey violates a few conditions (randomization) I will be assuming, for the sake of giving me something to do, that this sample is representative of the Mass Effect community.
