First Insanity trilogy playthrough advice

I'm teasing you... but I had it pretty much figured out.  Speed run tactics.   Have you ever thought of doing an official speed run of the trilogy?

I meant making it official at this site:

www.speedrun.com/

The only non-glitch run listed in one for ME1 (2h46m).  Record for the Trilogy is about 7h, but that's a run with glitches in it.  Personally, I'd like to see more non-glitch runs listed.

Like 100X!

In my first playthrough (which was on Normal, admittedly), I played a sentinel who often used an SR, and a sentinel is half an engineer...  You have Overload on your engineer (as I did on my sentinel) which is a good power for a sniper for two reasons: it strips shields, increasing your chance of being able to one-shot your target; and stuns the target, making it easier to line up a shot.

Biotic Charge staggers Guardians, making them hold their shields to one side for a second or two. They don't drop them. Vanguards can use Pull to deprive Guardians of their shields, or use a gun with a piercing mod to slice right through them.

If you took AP ammo as your bonus power, as you were considering, Guardian shields shouldn't be giving you too much trouble. One thing that I've noticed is that even with piercing mods or AP ammo, glancing or angled shots seem to deflect off the shields. I've found that I need to hit them head-on.

Edit: just occurred to me that if you haven't done a new game+, you perhaps haven't unlocked AP ammo yet.

Got through it guys, thanks. The grenades being thrown at me were a big problem - they one-shot me if I'm too close. Can I throw them back? Or what is the strat involving how to deal with them?

Combat rolls, my friend... combat rolls to new cover.

It's funny, sometimes Sheploo can look hunky and heroic, the next moment looking like a strung-out druggie.    I think I'll stick with it, not sure why it's bothering me more in ME3 than 1 or 2.

Two weeks to go!

Let's face it, some of the facial animations would make Adonis look like a strung-out druggie. The twisty neck, the eyes rolling up, the derpy, creepy smiles. In some shots his eyes look like they are too close together and he goes cross-eyed.

It's ironic I'm having a Sheploo crisis since he's my avatar here and below this on the banner. I'm malfunctioning!

Ok, recruited Javak (kinda hard w/ Liara/James) - now I'm on Palaven and got some Garrus action. At least he has Overload - is Garrus actually useful as an Engineer? Btw I'm using my Drone mostly to distract then I keep forgetting about which combos do what   I do like hacking cerberus turrets tho I wish mine were good
