I thought you said you were going to try a biotic class. I would think the Adept (and soldier) would have the most consistancy of all the classes across the trilogy.

First, a trilogy run with an Engineer. Next - Mass Effect 3 run with a biotic

Well, just my opinion, of course, but I prefer the Adept in ME2 over ME3, mainly because singularity in ME2 can be used to hold protected targets, unlike in ME3. Also, I had more biotic team mates to combo with in ME2 than 3. Thane and Miranda paired with an Adept Shepard make for a very good squad. In ME3 you don't get Kaidan until somewhat late, Javik's DC has a rather long cool down, and Liara is most useful with her singularity, leaving Shepard's singularity as redundant. (This is the main reason I didn't like the adept Shepard in ME3: Liara's singularity was actually better than Shepard's.)

I agree, my idea was to focus on Cluster Grenades and Warp with Barrier as bonus power. Slow cooldowns and dependence on squadmates. Will probably carry a heavy loadout as well

You know what, I'll start it right now! Will be the final playthrough before the trilogy

An effective ME3 character is built completely differently, in many cases, than its ME2 predecessor. This is especially true of Adepts.

I don't even use Shep's Singularity in ME3. I maybe use it once or twice through the whole game. Double Pull does the job better. It travels a bit quicker, and is less likely to be dodged. Liara's non-projectile Singularity is great, and I use it plenty when she's in the party. So few enemies have protection, anyway, that Singularity's ineffectiveness against them is trivial. Warp + Throw is way quicker and more explosively deadly on protected enemies (and anything nearby) than ME2's Singularity-stagger ever was.

Javik's Dark Channel cooldown is long, but so is the duration. Plus, it jumps to a new target after detonation, does it not? Moreover, he can likewise be given Double Pull. With Throw becoming a detonator in ME3, I find Adepts to be way more effective than in ME2.

With Liara and Javik being available very early in the game, I don't think the roster is any less favorable. We have a much smaller crew, but proportionately more biotics. ME2's detonations are also small-time compared to ME3's. Just my two cents, though. I often run with heavies like James or Garrus, honestly. I have my assorted favorites for certain missions, for story and banter reasons.

An Adept Shepard is so easily capable of wrecking a fight on his/her own, via biotic detonations, that companions are just gravy.

I was expecting part 2 of your adept today (yesterday or even last year now) but I see it's not up yet. I conclude two scenarios: One, you were busy because New Year's Eve; or two as much as you were having fun husk pushing, biotic explosions and powers just aren't as compelling to you as tech powers and you couldn't help but do another engineer. I know I have, inspired by yours and Capn's combat engineers.
