My femshep. at least this one, doesn't care about anything except to get the job done

As much as I love Miranda (and Kasumi) there's only one fitting LI for Shepard, and that is femShep. That's why there's two of them. They can't be in the same universe or it'd spontaneously explode. Twice.

 

Nah, mine is Sheploo, Miranda, and FemShep. Or Femshep and Miranda. Or Femshep and Sheploo.

 

All three of them.

Picture all the Chuck Norris facts rolled up into one then scaled appropriately for an entire galaxy. That's how awesome Shepard is.

 

... and then he opens his mouth to speak... 

 

Shepard is clearly on a godly level of combat strength, but the other sides of the character kinda leaves to be desired.

 

And no, not only in ME3. Shepard had his share of George Dubya-caliber quotes and gaffes in the previous games, too.

Adept mixes with everything btw, because throw detones every primer.

I think that is a non ideal way to spec it, since those evolutions only work against geth enemies, turrets and Atlas mechs, while making the power have virtually no utility against organic enemies. Additionally, I don't find the actual hacking aspect to be that useful apart from as a distraction, and anyway, the actual duration of the hack is also influenced by certain enemies. Primes or Atlases, for example, are only hacked for half of the listed duration. In singleplayer though, you can at least still hack two enemies at once, so using it for this purpose has more an argument in favour of it than it would in multiplayer. The actual evos I take depend on the class (for infiltrator, you can basically ignore recharge speed) and weapon weight, but I never take Berserk in single or multiplayer on any build.

At least try the Tech Vulnerability evo at rank 6. The most universal way is to put it on Tali. Use it against boss enemies or clusters of mooks, then setup tech combos with Shepard and your other squadmember. On higher difficulties, you can destroy Primes, Atlases or Banshees in literally a few seconds, and nuke entire groups with a single tech burst or fire explosion. Sabotage itself also primes for tech bursts 1.5 seconds after the cast, so if you hit with a fire based power (incinerate, carnage etc.) then tech detonator, you'll get tech burst> fire explosion> tech burst in a window of a couple of seconds, with the powers and combos all doing double damage. On insanity (assuming all powers are at rank 6), this will usually bring a Banshee down to a few bars of armor by itself, and assuming you're firing between the gaps, essentially kills her and everything else in a 7.5m radius. Very underrated power IMO.

Another use for the rank 6 evo is in melee builds. Both the Infiltrator and the Engineer's heavy melee are counted as tech attacks, so they are also buffed 100% multiplicatively (that is, after all other damage from fitness and armor/weapon mods is calculated). A melee infiltrator shepard with a shotgun omniblade from a properly specced cloak can kill any insanity humanoid with a single heavy melee if sabotage is cast beforehand, and it only takes a few hits on bosses. You can make the same build in MP with the Quarian Infiltrator (female) and the Turian Sabotuer engineer.

I tried both builds and I in fact have finished the game with a pure melee Infiltrator build (linked in the signature) using that trick. 

Nowadays I choose the anti-synthetic route for roleplay purposes - I only use the power on synthetics. One hacked Geth Trooper with Duration, Berserk and Explosive Hack can kill three others. It happened to me - he shot one, meleed another and got meleed by the third who then died from the resulting explosion. Rocket Troopers are even better.

And hacked geth can use turrets

The parts where they try to force characterization, yeah. Otherwise, I prefer the blank slate facets of his portrayal so that I can take more ownership over him.

That's not Shepard saying dumb things. That's him saying things so smart your brain can only echo dumb things to show you how far below him you really are.
