I played as a vanguard, but the lack of long range options and the fact that charge isnt alway available (ie if enemies are on ledges or other places that are not pathable such as the collector ship situation) did make some situation more difficult. Still charge was alota fun. I might choose a soldier or and infiltrator for better ranged options or the sentinel for the extra servivablitly.

Tried to play with my fav class "Sentinel" kept getting my ass handed to me the 12 seconds cooldown on tech armor is harsh at the start

I was going to start a playthrough on insanity, but, I'm not sure what class to use.
Suggestions?

Infiltrator was the one I used, cloak is a life saver if you suddenly get hit in the back. It's a bit more flexible than the other classes when it comes to making a mistake since you go invisible as soon as things get bad you move to the other side of the arena then pop medi-gel.

Also, Widow + Carnifex = dead Scions in record time.

Soldier looked good too, max adrenaline for the damage reduction boost and take either geth shields or Armour piercing ammo(My preference). You'll have enough guns that ammo won't be a problem. I insist on the widow over the Revenant on insanity though.

I heard its limited since your drone HP dont scale with the difficulty and keeps getting owned

Infiltrator. Covert all the way.

Geth shield or Fortification..soldier already get inferno ammo and i kinda find it better to trade 10% dmg for crowd control from fire panic

I hope this isn't too long to post on the thread. Basically, I recently played ME1, and I remember buying a Spectre shotgun for Tali. While giving it to her was just a matter of opening the inventory screen and selecting it for her, I like to imagine that Shepard giving it to her was a bit more special, like this:

-----
 Back on the Normandy SR1, not long before catching up to Saren on Ilos.

“Hey Shepard, Adams told me that you wanted to see me?” Tali said, entering Shepard’s quarters.

“Ah, there you are Tali. Yeah, I wanted to talk to you” Shepard replied, standing up from his desk. “You like shotguns don’t you? I ask since I notice you tend to favor them on missions.”

“Yeah, they work well for me. I usually need to be pretty close to enemies to overheat their weapons and sabotage their shields, so shotguns work well” Tali replied. “And they’re a lot of fun to shoot” she added, in a playful tone.

“Well, that’s why I called you up. Take a look at this shotgun, let me know what you think.” Shepard says as he turns around and picks up an unusual looking shotgun from his desk, and hands it to Tali.

“Wow Shepard, this looks amazing. I’ve never see a mass accelerator like this on a shotgun. This thing must be incredibly powerful” she says astonished, looking it over. She notices ‘HMWSG’ inscribed on its side. “I have never heard of this model”

“That’s because this is a prototype line of weapons. They’re not in any kind of mass production, and they’re available only to Spectres.” Shepard responded, proudly.

“Keelah, Shepard, I envy you. You’re going to do some serious damage with this.” Tali says, and attempts to hand the shotgun back to Shepard. He doesn’t take it. Instead, he gently pushes it back towards Tali.

“I’m not, but you are. It’s yours, Tali.” He says, smiling.

“What? Shepard I can’t accept…are you sure you want me to—just how much did this cost?” Tali asks, surprised and somewhat confused by the sudden and incredible gift.

“Don’t worry about it, Tali. You’ve earned it. You’ve been an important part of my mission against Saren, and I wanted to show I appreciate all you’ve done."

“Thank you, Shepard. It means a lot to me to hear that” she replied. She wanted so much to just pounce on him and hug him tightly, but she knew better; it would not be appropriate. She had already convinced herself to forget about ever being more than just a friend and a crew member to Shepard. Despite how well he has treated her, how could he ever see past her mask; past her suit?

Oh and Btw if you happen to try Sentinel..Armor piercing Ammo plus shotgun ( i use the DLC one)

does wonders with tech armor

[CaIIisto]

I've used Soldier for the first two runthroughs. Think I'll change to Infiltrator the next time around, sounds interesting.

I played all classes, though I only bothered to complete Insanity with my 2 Infiltrators (cannon Paragon and Renegade play throughs) as the other classes are more for fun. 
Insanity on ME2 is no joke though, when I first ran the game on insanity I thought it was more or less like in ME1. That got corrected in a hurry.

Though I have been told that playing Infiltrators on Insanity mode is "cheating" as they are one of the more "powerful" classes. But hey, they were my ME1 "bind" Canon class choice before people figured out that Infiltrators with sniper rifles, marksmanship and AI hacking are kings on the battlefield.
So even if ME gimps the Infil, I'll still think of  *MY* Shepard as an infil and play as one.

Drone dying is a good thing if it's the explosive one. I stick with attack drone though, Engineer specced mechanic can resummon the drone every 3 seconds (compare that to incinerate at a whooping 6) and it's a hell of a weapon. It'll also bug out harbringers and scions preventing them from range spamming you.

Engineer is very effective on insane.

i love the class revamp they did each class is unique feel more personalised

Yeesh almost 4 AM here, time for bed.

Sorry guys. No new chapter tonight. A friend died. So I give you the story so far.

Prologue

Ch 1. Old crew

Ch 2. F*cked up Flower Girl

Ch 3. Grunts Tux

Ch 4. Dress disaster

Ch 5. A long dark secret



Please post a comment.

[CaIIisto]

For any UK-based Talimancers;

Forbidden Planet have the Tali figurine/action figure available for pre-order. Saves having to import.

[Archonsg]

On insanity, Drones are bait.
They distract the big boys while my reave takes out their shield and allow me to line up the perfect head shot with the Widow.
All the more reason to  Tali. She pops out those things like no tomorrow and deals with the melee crap like Husks.
That's where Garrus comes in handy. AP ammo bursts on Melee stuff and most things get wiped pretty fast.

Ah yes I've seen that.  Funny you should mention a Pharoah -- the first time I saw that picture it made me think of Egyptian artwork as well.  I don't think that is official, I believe it is a creation from a forum for 3D modeling.  That said, I saw some Bioware alien concept drawings, and one of them looked pretty similar in proportion, with the elongated skull, but it didn't have ear lobes, and with larger eyes and softer, rounder features.

The concept art is here.

The face I was talking about was the 2nd row from the top, 2nd from the right.  She has the slightly elongated neck that the Quarians appear to have also.  The girl 2nd in from the left and 2nd row from the bottom is also a possibility (the one who is smoking), and she has many of the same features.  This is also concept work -- it has, in all probability, been refined a bit even if one of these does turn out to be Quarian (which it may not).

In any case, if it is one of those faces it is pretty easy to imagine one of them being very lovely, even if they are quite clearly not human.

You'd think that but on insanity APA is a life saver because you need to get on your feet faster and you'll need to spend points on disruptor ammo before you get inferno ammo, with APA you start with it ready to go. Remember APA does 70% more damage than incendiary if the enemy is down to health(not armour), as incendiary will only stun at that point.

Quick bullet list of differences.
Inferno
-Need to spend 3 points(one is auto spent already) to gain.
-Does extra damage to armour
-Stuns organics(not husks)
-Prevents regeneration.

APA
-Start with it right away
-Does extra damage to health + armour
-Does 10% more damage than Inferno on armoured targets.
-Does 70% more damage than Inferno on health targets(organic and synthetic!)

Ideally you should take Personal APA and have Squad incendiary for the best of both worlds. APA's benefit for a soldier is for getting through the earlier missions with less hassle as you can spend your squad points on adrenaline and soldier traits before worrying about unlocking adrenaline.

Yeah, knew it wasn't official, I was just trying to find it because I realized I hadn't kept it.  The ears are all wrong.

I was just looking at those head concepts myself.  I think they're supposed to be a bunch of asari concepts, but I agree w/ what you're saying about  2nd from the right, 2nd row.  I'm realizing that the middle one on the bottom has the batarian forehead (but not four eyes), so perhaps this is a grab bag of aliens.

It would be fascinating the learn that we've had the answer in front of us all along if there ever is a reveal.

Yeah, I expected Tali to be worthless and worried about bringing her along...Combat drone, which was largely for the quotes during my Vanguard veteran run, became absurdly good at setting everything up.
