-Soldier-Easy, but neglecting the biotic and tech badassery leaves you feeling bored and empty unless you are VERY easily entertained. Might as well go play Gears of War/CoD

Thought you could use certain ammo powers and grenades to set up combos...

adept on insanity with stasis bubble as your bonus power. you can stasis things with shields and no armor. marauder? stasis and blow it up with warp or throw. now it's liftable/ignorable. same with anything that's shields/health. when upgraded to drop a bubble, it will also lock down a guardian instantly.

Infiltrator is probably the easiest or Vanguard. Most fun I'd vote the Sentinel. It is a battlemage type of character with Reave. 60-70% damage resistance with 1-4s cooldowns still intact. Highest burst/aoe damage as well with throw+warp combined with tech armor 20% extra damage. Lift Grenades are quite useful they pretty much provide the role of Stasis.

I did it with mt canon Sentinel and it was very exciting. A little bit of extra defense thanks to TA (with powers more effective when on) saved me quite a few times and the other powers always gave me a fighting chance against everything. I used warp against armor and general power damage, overload (3 chain stun) was effective against everything that wasn't armored, throw on warp for some nice biotic explosions and took ArmPen ammo as bonus power.

I used a pistol and smg and it worked nicely. Grenades were mostly used when enemies were grouped nicely.

Infiltrator, personal favorite

Highest burst? Not quite.

Engineers, Adepts, and Sentinels can have the exact same total power damage bonus, and the first two don't need Tech Armor to achieve it. The Engineer has the added bonus of doubling their damage with Sabotage. They can kill a Brute with 2 Incinerates on Insanity... 1 might even be possible if you min/max.

I would like to know why the soldier is the easiest class to use for insanity. I mean, the banshees alone are enough to make any soldier insane due to their resistance to firearms.

That's why you bring along Garrus and/or EDI for their Overload, rank it up all the way to level 6, with Rank 6 being the one where it does 100% more damage to Shields and Barriers.

Than once they are down, use a Black Widow with armor piercing or incendiary ammo, bam, 4-6 shots depending on aim.

I play an an infiltrator in insanity and I was wondering what squadmates you should bring with you?

Really? I didn't know that. Tech Armor is even worse now than it appeared. I didn't think that was possible.

The Engineer has the added bonus of doubling their damage with Sabotage. They can kill a Brute with 2 Incinerates on Insanity... 1 might even be possible if you min/max.

I meant aoe burst damage. On Insanity you can nearly two shot a Brute with throw/warp with a larger aoe radius. Engineer and Infiltrator seem to be kings of single target damage. The Adept and Sentinel are great at aoe.

You got a vid of this? I'm still on my Soldier run, so my experimentation has mostly been with guns. I just want to see this so I can do it easily next time around.

[Dixa]

i dont buy the two shotting a brute on insanity with warp/throw. my first insanity run through was as an imported adept. took 4-6 total powers to drop one

[Bountron]

Winfiltrator is surely the best choice - cloak/run
Adept also interesting, no aiming at all

Soldier seems to be hardest

[HolyAvenger]

Cruised through it on soldier. Yes it was a gun-heavy run, but my oh my the Revenant and Black Widow combination is a lot of fun.

Next run will be an adept, so powers galore.

Edit: Soldier was so easy (first run, straight insanity) that I can't imagine that it'll be the easiest.

I have just started an adept on insanity and it is just amazing how easy it is. It is fairly easy to max out damage with your squad bonuses and armor. For example Kaidan/Liara combo is insanely strong with stasis/warp/reave spam.

Nevertheless, once you know how to play the game gets ridiculously easy. Most of your enemies are plain stupid so classes won't matter anyway I think.

Concerning Soldier: I considered Soldier to be the weakest class because you have no over-the-top ability like cloak. Its play style is rather dull, although AR is really damn strong, probably even stronger in combination with Marksman, which I have not managed to unlock yet.

I also used the Black Widow and the Carniflex as my backup.

It took me 26 hours to make a complete (first) run, so if people keep saying Soldier is strong too I aoplogize and nod.

You can't combine AR and Marksman I believe.

Soldiers don't need no fancy tricks to beat the game, just the best guns you can bring along.

[Bountron]

Yeah you are right, but that's what I wrote too, classes won't hold you back from owning the game.

But this thread is not about the weakest class, or the dullest of all play styles. And it is not about "beating the game", it is about the somewhat strongest class and build and winfiltrator is an overall easymode if you consider cloak for example.

[HolyAvenger]

"Strongest" is a very subjective call. I haven't done an infiltrator run yet, but all I'll say is it comes down to playstyle all the classes are lethal in the right hands. I found soldier to be easymode personally.

[Bountron]

This goal of this thread is to contribute his or her subjective side. but nevermind...

[HolyAvenger]

Didn't say you were wrong, did I?

[Domnuxx]

I rolled with my canon sentinel almost without a hitch. I chose armor-penetrating ammo or warp ammo as a bonus power and used the mattock V or raptor V (200% cooldown) plus the inferno armor.

Throw is almighty (almost 1 second cooldown) and overload (3 chain). You're almost invincible.

[xrudix]

I would say most efficient is infiltrator - you have best ammo power imho(distruptor), you can shut down syntetics, cloak is hands down one of most fun powers, incinerate which rapes armor and makes explosions with distruptor and time dilation is cheat.
