Should I go all +Shields, +Power Damage, or +Weapon damage?

Shields honestly don't matter all that much.  The +5% bonuses only affect base shields, it doesn't stack multiplicatively with the charge bonus shields (correct me if I'm wrong).  The biggest benefit of the shield is the second of invulnerability you get when the shield breaks.  Health will save you a reload when you get away by a hair now and again, but similarly isn't that big a deal.

The +25% melee damage shoulders are the only must-have.  Heavy Weapon Ammo is nice on the legs if you like the Cain; you can stockpile 2 shots if you grab the heavy weapon ammo upgrade during Zaeed Loyalty.  Otherwise, damage I guess, but nothing really matters all that much.

Yep. Shields and health don't make any difference on Insanity. Melee shoulders are the only needed piece. Otherwise, I usually take weapon damage, or what looks cool.

I'd go for melee damage, shield recharge bonus, storm speed / life support webbing, stabilization gauntlets, kuwashii visor.

Dont forget the 10% headshot helm - that and mele shoulders are essential. Then I just went with shields but it only makes the tiniest fraction of a second difference on insanity.



@cruc1al - have you really found the shield recharge bonus to be any use? A charge fully boosts your shields so you never have to worry about this particular bonus.

This explains it all in a lot of detail.

headshot visor + melee shoulders + weapon and/or power damage for everything else = WIN

You're right, I loosely applied my cqc infiltrator thinking into vanguard.
