Wow didnt see this thread when making my own. Well incase mine gets locked for it heres my build:

My character spec:

THIS BUILD IS BUILT TOWARDS BIOTIC EXPLOSIONS, 200% RECHARGE SPEED RECOMMENDED.

I hardly ever shoot my gun.

Biotic: Level 60 Heath: 825 Barrier: 850 (Started at level 30) Best character for any and all situations. Makes Insane seem like a glorified babies toy.

Warp: Maxed (4,5,6 - Detonate, Expose, Pierce)

Throw: Maxed (4,5,6 - Force, Detonate, Double Throw)

Sockwave: Rank 4 (4 - Force & Damage)

Singularity: Max (4,5,6 - Duration, Recharge Speed, Detonate)

I know having duration and detonate kind of interferes with each other but heres why I do it. I singularity a group with out shields and focus on shielded enemies. If I dont get take them out before singularity runs out Boom, they get destroyed or get a chunk of health gone.

Pull: Max (4,5,6 - Radius, Expose, Double pull)

Cluster Grenade: Max (4,5,6 - Force & Damage, Max Grenades, Force & Damage)

Barely use these but they are great to throw down narrow spots

Biotic Mastery: Max (4,5,6 - Damage & Force, Damage & Capacity, Combo Mastery)

Fitness: Max (4,5,6 - Durability, Barrier Recharge, Fitness Expert)

Go for shields and recharge time since you rarely ever will melee.

Bonus Power: Stasis: Max (4,5,6 - Stasis Strength, Recharge Speed, Bubble)

I chose Stasis for a couple of reasons: First off the bubble upgrade is extremely powerful. Just lay it over shielded enemies and boom they are frozen and the great thing is any enemy that walks into it also gets froze. Next reason is the Stasis Strength upgrade, enemies receive 150% more damage while they are trapped in Stasis. That makes it very important allowing you to clear rooms and groups of enemies in the matter of seconds.

Some easy Biotic Explosions to use:

Stasis + Throw, pull, warp, shockwave. Easy way to clear out clustered groups.

Pull + Throw works really well as well. Best thing is with double pull and double throw you can do 2 Biotic explosions in 2 different areas. Very usefull.

Warp + Throw is my most used Explosion. Use on shielded and Armored enemies to kill very fast. Use just 2 times on Brutes to kill and 3-4 on atlas's to destroy. Also great against Banshees since it stuns as well.

Tips and suggestions:
1. Anything without shields can be taken out quickly. Throw and Pull works wonders.
2. Husks are annoying so just keep spamming throw on them. Usually just takes one to kill since it knocks them out of the map half the time.
3. Take Liara. Her one power upgraded increases Parties Biotic power. Very Useful. ALos gives you access to double Singularities, Double Stasis, Double Warps. Also you can have her Ammo power help you as well if you prefer. I never shoot so I dont use it.
4. Get Inferno Armor as fast as possible. It increases your Biotics Power and Recharge Speed greatly.
5. Any upgrades got at Glyphs Terminal should be put towards Power for Biotics when given the chance. You wont regret it.
6. Biotic Combo/Explosion anything you can especially with this build. You will keep checking the difficulty thinking its on Casual.

Power Point Placement when starting:
1: Try to get your Biotic Mastery, Warp, Throw up first. Fitness, Pull, Stasis, and Singularity second.
2: Try to get Liara's Stasis and Singularity up first. You can also increase her power thats helps your Biotic up as well.

Hope this helps anyone who wants to try out a Biotic.

how'd you get stasis... i wanted it but it seemed i never unlocked it.

Personally I have no clue. I just beat the game and when I started a NG+ it was there to select. Im thinking it was for when I let Liara share her memories with me. I didnt romance her though.

You're right, the two are very different, but if anything by and large any human character in Co-op is far less effective than its SP counterpart, so I still feel my comparison has some validity.. In single player you can get much bigger warp explosions as the passive and even the power evolutions are far more effective, not to mention the ability to equip armor that can further enhance powers.

I've yet to play the Adept for myself in SP, but looking at the numbers, and comparing them with my co-op experiences, I'm willing to bet the adept could be rightly returning to its place as a bulldozer in Insanity. It won't be the lifty throw class it once was, but I think gigantic ~1000N biotic explosions should serve as a nice stand-in

Still not completely true. Adepts power from MP to SP goes in plus, soldiers power goes in multiply. 

I played maxed Adept and maxed Soldier in SP, soldier is stronger by far.

If you want a very easy insanity playthrough, then go Sentinel. I easily beat the game in insanity with this class (admittedly, I started out on level 35 due to my save being imported from ME2).
However the game suffers from the same issue as Witcher 2: it's difficulty is very inconsistent. For example the hardest mission in the game was the Grissom Academy mission. Not even the final battle was as hard as that one. But, yeah Sentinel+Revenant+Carnifex. Easy as pie.
Whatever you do, though, do not pick Vanguard if you play in insanity. It is not insane. It's simply impossible.

I am happy that someone else had trouble with that mission as well. I died more times in that place than everywhere else put together. Did you go with the tank sentinel or the caster sentinel?

Don't think I would say it's impossible as Vanguard. It is a giant pain in the a** though.

[Crimzoneyed]

Sentinel are still easy as hell on insanity:

Throw: Radius, Detonate, Double Throw.
Warp: Detonate, Lasting Damage, Pierce.
Tech Armor: Durability, Power Damage,  Power Recharge.
Offensive Mastery: Force & Damage, Weight Capacity, Force & Damage.

The three above should be top 1 priority to max out.
After that's done you can start put points in:

1 Lift Grenade: Radius, Max Grenade, Damage & Radius.
2. Fitness: Durability, Shield Recharge, Durability.
3. Cryo blast or bonus power of choice (not that you need anything else by this point).

First team member should be Garrus to deal with shield/stuns with the following build:
1. Overload: Chain Overload, Neural Shock, Chain Overload.
2. Turian Rebel: Durability, Power Damage, Squad Bonus.
3. Armor-Piercing Ammo: Squad Bonus, Headshots, Pierce.
4. Doesn't matter much were you put the rest.

Your second team member should be Liara for biotic combo/backup with the following build:
1. Singularity: Radius, Recharge Speed, Detonate.
2. Pure Biotic: Recharge Speed, Duration & Force, Squad Bonus.
3. Stasis: Stasis Strenght, Bonus Power, Bubble

Armored enemies:
Warp+Throw combo should take care of any armored enemy realy fast (Brute's goes down in 2-3 combos or less depending on how much Garrus/Liara hit with their weapond's)

Barrierd enemies:
Garrus overload +Warp+Throw combo should take care of any Barried enemy realy fast
(Banshee goes down in 3-4 combos or less depending on how much
Garrus/Liara hit with their weapond's,)

Shielded enemies:
Garrus Overload + Warp + Throw combo will take care of most Shielded enemies on first bomb

Unarmored/shielded enemies:
Liara's Singularity +  Your Throw to detonate. 98% of all Unarmored/shielded enemies will die from that biotic explosion.

Weapond of choice: I took the mattock myself (still have 200% recharge speed with it equiped, but I rarely use it at all)
Armor: For higher survival use the "Blood Dragon Armor", For faster cooldown, take the "Inferno Armor"

I'm stuck at Grissom now.
Liara and Javik don't dodge the grenades and they don't follow orders at all. You'd also think one would revive the other when they're standing right next to them but no.

Seems like it's intentionally riddled with glitches too. They got locked behind that door more times than I can count,I had a grenade dropped on me through the upper floor and on Palevan I had my gun change to one that didn't do any damage. I'm also not sure which part of this so called super team is supposed to be dealing with armor.

Nuts to this new squad! The only things they do better are suck and die.
Guess I'll respec from the double armor deal.

 What class would make this easy? By easy I mean, removes almost all the challenge. For ME2, Sentinel was the most overpowered class and made insanity a breeze. So is it sentinel again or vanguard? 

The answer for main campaign is any imported character.

I played Adept with Energy Drain and Raptor Sniper/Assault Rifle hybrid with import.

Now I could use biotics more fluidly setting up combos quickly. Add an engineer like Tali or EDI and an Adept like Liara and Javik and my team were almost unstoppable.


You don't have to play as an adept to be overpowered. You can play as any of the 6 classes on import. You'll be so powerful you won't have to worry about squadmates and bonus powers.

But if you still find that you don't still have the edge with your chosen class, make sure you have the following:

• Javik's biotic pull or Garrus' Armour Piercing Ammo to deal with riot shields.
• Liara's Warp and Warp Ammo, Kaidan's Reave, James' Incendiary Ammo, Garrus' Armour Piercing Ammo or EDI's incinerate to deal with armour.
  
• Liara's warp, Liara's Warp Ammo, Garrus', Kaidan's and EDI's Overload, Kaidan's Reave,  and Tali's Energy Drain to deal with barriers.
• Garrus', Kaidan's  and EDI's Overload and Tali's Energy Drain to deal with shields.

In addition, Disruptor ammo, rapid fire weapons are good for shields and barriers.
Slow hard hitting weapons are good for armour. All weapons are good against health.


Trust me, even ignoring much of this advice you'll still be overpowered. Follow this advice and you'll be an overpowered Reaper Stopping Machine!

Whats the best bonus power for a sentinel this time? It was stasis last game.

I'd add to this that the sheredder or piercing weapon mods will also do the trick for ignoring riot shields. If you're not to keen on using AP ammo, you should at lest bring along one weapon with a penetration mod.

Here we go Charge! Dead
Nova! Dead!

Okay that makes two powers a bit less useful.

But Vanguards still have

Shockwave
Pull
Cryo Ammo
Incendiary Ammo

Not to mention the bonus power.

In addition there will be those rare moments when charge is useful. But charge power depends so much on a decent shotgun. That's what I learnt from ME 2. But I haven't played Vanguard in ME 3 yet.

So what makes this class impossible?

[Nyctyris]

perhaps just a question of playstyle - I find it very comfortable to play as Infiltrator (although I played as soldier in ME1 because... soldiers were just as good at sniping.) As long as you can headshot the damage is ridiculous, and of course it helps to buy the widowmaker (120 shots, yum). Still clears rooms pretty fast.

[Spikko]

My sentinel with Mattock + Heavy pistol went just fine.
Max asap survival skills (shields and health) and after that move to shield removals.
With the combo of Liara singularity and my warp I ripped enemies to shreds.
Sentinel may not be overpowered anymore like it was on ME2 but it's still a powerhouse.

[S Atomeha]

well i finished a run on insanity as an adept, here are my specs(lvl 57?):
Warp
fully upgraded(bonus ones are damage, lasting damage, pierce)
Throw
fully upgraded with force, recharge combo, and recharge speed
shockwave
everything but rank 6- force and damage/reach
singularity
fully upgraded with duration,recharge speed, and detonate
cluster grenade with-
force&damage.damage combo.force&damage
biotic mastery-
combo mastery, influence and duration, damage and capacity
fitness
fitness expert,durability,barrier recharge
dark channel
damage,recharge speed,damage

upgrades
power damage+35%
health+5
shields +10
power recharge+20
weapon+15%

[CmonCmon]

Liara and Garrus are working out much better.
Not sure what I should have as a bonus power since I've forgone defense matrix or what weapons. Using warp ammo with the beam for now. I want to take the scorpion but that hurts the recharge too much and I'm not sure how useful it'd be. It was useful in my other playthrough since it'd like them on fire then explode them but I don't have the ammo anymore.

I tried this build. Man I am getting slaughtered out there. I tried to do dlc mission to recruit javik first and I am getting my butt handed to me. I'm level 31 by the way. 

[TODave]

Thetri, your problems may stem from the fact that this build would inicate that you shouldn't go directly to Eden Prime at first opportunity. Rather, go to Palaven first and get Garrus for his anti-sheld Overload ability. That should be what you are missing.

[Soja57]

Although the Vanguard is clearly more difficult than other classes, you can clear a room faster than any other class once you have a proper build and are used to the playstyle. At that point, you should be able to handle most enemies no problem. The best Charge-Nova build is to get 200% cooldowns with the class passive and proper weapons, max barriers Fitness, Charge maxed with 100% barrier regen, Nova with half-blast and chance to not use barrier, and one point or two points in pull for those guardians and to setup biotic combos.

When charging, do as many Novas as you can (two minimum, which should be enough for Charge to cooldown again). When you are doing your Nova animation and Charging, you are invulnerable for a second, but that brief duration of immunity stacks with each Nova you do. If you can equip a shotgun while retaining speedy cooldowns, you should chain in heavy melee and shotgun blasts also in between charge and novas.

[Doriath]

I think the easiest class to do a clean insanity run (and by that I mean not die and not have to respec for certain sections/different enemies) is the Infiltrator, followed closely by the Soldier. Main reason is cryo ammo + huge burst damage pretty much whenever you want or need it with such short cooldown times.

As far as insanity builds for each individual class goes, just my thoughts:

Adept
warp - detonate / expose / pierce
throw
shockwave - force & damage / detonate / lifting shockwave
singularity - duration / recharge speed / expand
pull - expose / recharge speed / duration & combo
cluster grenade - force & damage / damage combo / force & damage
biotic mastery - damage & force / damage & capacity / combo mastery
fitness - durability / barrier recharge / durability
energy drain - damage / recharge speed / damage

Engineer

overload - damage / recharge speed / shield damage
cryo blast - duration / cryo explosion / frozen vulnerability
combat drone - shields & damage / shock / chain lightning
sabotage
sentry turret - shields & damage / cryo ammo / rockets
tech mastery - power damage / damage & capacity / power mastery
fitness - durability / shield recharge / durability
defense matrix - durability / power synergy / power recharge

Infiltrator
disruptor ammo - squad bonus / headshots / damage
cryo ammo - squad bonus / headshots / damage combo
incinerate - damage / buring damage / freeze combo
tactical cloak - damage / recharge speed / sniper damage
sticky grenade - damage / armor-piercing / damage
sabotage
operational mastery - weapon damage / weight capacity / damage & duration
fitness - durability / shield recharge / durability
energy drain - damage / recharge speed / damage

Sentinel
throw

cryo blast - duration / cryo explosion / frozen vulnerability

fitness - durability / squad bonus / durability
warp ammo - squad bonus / headshots / enhanced warp

Soldier
adrenaline rush - damage / duration / power use
concussive shot
frag grenade - damage / max grenades / armor-piercing
incendiary ammo - damage / headshots / explosive burst
disruptor ammo - squad bonus / headshots / damage
cryo ammo - squad bonus / headshots / damage combo
combat mastery - damage / headshots / weight capacity
fitness - durability / shield recharge / durability

Vanguard

 Hello everyone. I did Insanity on my second play through. I was a level 60 Soldier. I had some difficulties with the Banshees and the Brutes towards the end (this was because of the little critters shooting at me). The Kei Lang fight was the only other time I recall having problems. My build was simple.

I had the Combat Mastery set so I could do extra damage by weapon and by ammo types. My ammo powers were set to give them to the squad. For myself I had the damage reduction+shield strength Adrenaline Rush. To further this defense capability I picked up Defense Matrix. I got the 100% Shield Restore, and Damage reduction. I turned on Defense Matrix before the start of any mission just like my ammo powers. With the Adrenaline Rush and Defense Matrix I had a shield that could take a Brute's hit no problem. 

For weapons I had a M-99 Sabre X, a M-77 Paladin X, and an M-11 Wraith X. I liked the no scope accuracy of the Sabre. It made it really easy for me to hit up close targets. Plus the Sabre weighed less then the Black Widow. The Wraith and Paladin modded with Shredder/Piercing mods made taking Brutes down easy with Incinderiary Ammo on. I had I think +50 or 60% power which helped because of Defense Matrix reducing power recharge times. 

For Squad Members I had Garus and Ashley. Garus had Overload and Ashley had Marksman. I gave them both Revenant X's so they could keep the enemies heads down while I set up. They made short work of the enemy too thanks to my ammo powers. 

That is the basics of how I did that. I think this build will give other's ideas for Soldiers.

You're right, Mattock + AR was hard work!

Not everyone bought the Firepower pack to unlock the Mattock. But I'll admit, Soldier was still relatively easy in ME2 compared to other classes (except Sentinel, what a breeze).
