 So I am doing a hardcore/insanity run with a tank Shepard. (No NG+). What bonus power should I take for best damage reduction?

[Nightmare137]

Defense Matrix.

All 3 powers have a maximum potential DR of 30% which leaves the primary difference being the individual purge & passive effects between them. Of the 3, Defense matrix purge effect is the only one that is another defensive effect, that being restoration of your shields.

Also, do they stack with tech armor?

If by "tank" you mean the build that runs around with a full weapons load, yeah Defense Matrix is probably the best. I'd still want to avoid purging it if at all possible, though, and honestly stacking some shield regen from various sources would almost make it moot.

If you wanted a tanky caster, go with Barrier for the extra power synery bonus to all powers. With a light-ish weapons load you can still have usable cooldown times, with or without the rank 6 recharge evolutions.

Fortification would only be good if you plan to play as a melee Sentinel.

If you want on demand defense, Defense Matrix.. if you want passive sustainability Barrier (stack shield replenishment gear with its passive) as long as you take Kaidan or Javik you can pretty much never die..If you take them both your shileds will be replenishing like crazy..

I've read that Infiltrators and Defense Matrix go very well together. How should the points be spent in rank 4, 5 and 6 ? I'm playing a CQC Infiltrator not a sniper.

Thanks.

I would go Durability, Power Synergy, Durability.  At least if you plan to use Incinerate or even Sabotage w/ Backfire relatively frequently.

Defense Matrix rank 5 evolution Power Synergy adds +25% damage to all tech powers. In my opinion, while this seems like a good fit for Infiltrators to increase their tech damage, the rank 4 Power Damage evolution of Cloak gives the Infiltrator +80% or +90% power damage to both weapons AND powers. This means that when cloaked, Infiltrators have more power damage than Engineers, which have only +70% from passive. Infiltrators can also gain +25% power damage from their passive.

As an Infiltrator, I think you are better off using either one of the following powers as a bonus power:
 - Energy Drain
 - Proximity Mine
 - Marksman

That being said, if you want to use Defense Matrix, how do you plan on using it?
(a) To add a constant power damage boost only for your tech powers, and never purge it for the shield restore:
Defense - Power Synergy - Power Recharge

( To add damage reduction but never purge it for the shield restore:
Defense - Shield Recharge - Durability

© To only use it for the shield restore:
Shield Bonus - Shield Recharge - Durability

(d) To use it for shield restore and tech power damage boost:
Shield Bonus - Power Synergy - Power Recharge

You're better off with energy drain than defense matrix on infiltrator. Cloak -> ED -> shotgun.
