I'm pretty sure Geth Shield Boost is the best defensive power; even on Insanity, enemies will only use Incinerate and Warp, which do extra damage to Fortification's Armor and Barrier's...Barrier. Nobody uses Overload, which does extra damage to tech, making it the best defensive power.



It saved my ass I don't know how many times on Insanity.

I thought the shield abilities were good for "oh **** I screwed up!" moments. It gives a bit of flexibility to get out of a tight patch.

I've never played on insanity - It's so hard that I can't make it past the introduction cinematic.

I always get either barrier or geth shield on all classes except sentinel and vanguard. It got me out of a jam many times.

Geth shield and barrier can both be upgraded, I think. Not sure about fortification. If one of them is subject to the biotic or tech cooldown upgrades, it would be the best choice.

get the geth shield boost, map it to a hot key, and as soon as you hear that "glass-breaking" sound (when your shields go offline) hit that hot key like nobody's business.



instant replacement shield

Depends on your class. If you are anything that does not use biotics,then go with personal taste. If you are indeed using biotic powers, THEN FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT CHOOSE FORTIFICATION OR BARRIER!!!! These two skills, for whatever reason, fail or cease to work when you use biotic powers. This is very frustraing when you are relying on your barrier or fortification to keep you safe, but at the same time are needing offensive biotic abilities to keep the enemy back.



I have tested all three,and you definitely should go with geth shield boost as a biotic. It does not fail when used with biotic abilities... I'm unsure of tech abilities do this as well, but it is unlikely. Though,if you are an infiltrator, just use cloak... works like a charm

I'm playing through on Insanity again, this time as an Engineer. I chose Geth Shield Boost as the bonus skill for some extra protection. Is there any real difference which one of the 3 damage resistance skills you choose? All seem to give up to 100% of max shield protection and have the same duration, so is it all just a matter of "taste" which you choose?

neither...get Reave...immense health boost + damage + paralisys

Energy Drain. Take out the enemies shields while boosting your own.

I try to stay away from Reave. Seems too powerful. And if I'm not playing a biotic, I try to avoid the biotic powers anyway.
