This build focuses on providing bonuses to the whole squad, executing power combos, and durability. The Sentinel is the only class Shepard has available that has a Squad Bonus that grants a 30% bonus to health and shields for the whole squad, so that's a great addition to this build. Further, the class power "Offensive Mastery" has another bonus that grants a 10% bonus to squad weapon damage and a 15% bonus to the force and damage of squad powers. This build also focuses on executing power combos that are essential to doing high amounts of damage on higher difficulties. This build allows Shepard's Squadmates to prime power combos and uses the Throw ability to execute the combos. Evolving Throw to have Double Throw is one of the few ways to execute 2 combos with one ability in single player. Finally, this build is highly durable and uses Tech Armor and Fortification to increase Damage Reduction by 90%, granting Shepard extreme survivability. Taking the Power Synergy bonuses to each Talent increase the Force and Duration of all of our powers. The downside to this is that both Tech Armor and Fortification both reduce Cooldown reduction, but since our primary power use will be Throw which has a very low cooldown to begin with, this is not a great issue.

Because this build wants to limit weight so as not to indue further pentalities to cooldown reduction, I recommend utilizing weapons with infinite ammo, elminiating the need for a sidearm. In the early game, we can pick up the Particle Rifle. This weapon does more damage after it's been "charged up" with continuous fire, so using the Magazine upgarde will make it so you can fire the "charged up' version for longer. In the 2nd Act of the game we can play the Citadel DLC to secure access ot the M-7 Lancer which has an even lower weight then the Particle Rifle. When customizing armor, focus on boosts to Shields first and then Health, to get the most value out of your Tech Armor and Fortification.

Liara

Outfit: Power Recharge Speed +25%

Level 31: Warp 6 (Detonate, Expose, Pierce), Pure Biotic 4 (Recharge Speed)

Level 34: Pure Biotic 5 (Duration and Force)

Level 38: Singularity 2, Pure Biotic 6 (Squad Bonus)

Level 39: Singularity 3

Level 40: Singularity 4 (Radius)

Level 41: Stasis 1

Level 43: Singularity 5 (Recharge Speed)

Level 55: Singularity 6 (Expand), Stasis 5 (Duration, Recharge Speed)

Level 57: Stasis 6 (Bubble)

Liara provides our primary method of crowd control and sets up powerful biotic power combos. She can use Singularity on unarmored enemies to disable them and set them up for biotic detonations and warp can set up detonations on protected enemies. Equip her with the N7 Hurricane and mod the weapon so that it increases power damage. Power combos do extra damage on Insanity (x3.375 damage compared to normal) so it's essential o higher difficulties. Reduce Liara's power recharge time with her alternative outfit and passive abilities so it's comparable with Shepard's Throw ability, allowing the two characters to work together to create frequent biotic explosions.

Garrus

Outfit: Weapon Damage +25%

Level 36: Overload 2, Armor Piercing Ammo 6 (Squad Bonus, Headshots, Pierce), Turian Rebel 5 (Weapon Damage, Assault Rifles)

Level 37: Overload 3

Level 38: Overload 4 (Chain Overload)

Level 41: Overload 5 (Neural Shock)

Level 44: Overload 6 (Chain Overload)

Level 55: Proximity Mine 6 (Radius, Damage Taken, Recharge Speed)

Level 58: Turian Rebel 6 (Squad Bonus)

Level 59: Concussive Shot 2

Level 60: Concussive Shot 3

Garrus provides the primary source of weapon damage. The popular "Godhood" build that utilizes the N7 Typhoon, Armor Piercing Ammo, and using his passive Turian Rebel increases his weapon damage as high as possible for any squadmate. He can also set up Tech Bursts with Overload and he can use his Proximity Mine attack to apply a debuff on enemies which increases the damage they receive for 8 seconds. The Squad bonus from Armor Piercing Ammo is particularly useful as squadmates tend to shoot directly at enemies in cover.

Tali:

Outfit: Power Recharge Speed +25%

Level 60: Energy Drain 6 (Radius, Recharge Speed, Damage), Sabotage 6 (Duration, Explosive Hack, Tech Vulnerability), Combat Drone 6 (Detonate, Shock, Chain Lightning), Defense Drone 3, Quarian Machinist 6 (Recharge Speed, Tech Upgrade, Squad Bonus)

Tali replaces Laira whenever you have to face the Geth because of her unique powers. Sabotage is incredibly useful against Geth Primes, as it will temporarily cause them to attack their teammates. Evolving Sabotage with the level 6 upgrade "Tech Vulnerability" increases the damage caused by Tech Bursts by 100%, allowing you to disable enemies while also increasing your DPS significantly. Energy Drain is also extremely useful as it can both prime and trigger Tech Bursts in conjunction with Shepard's Overload power. Equip her with the Crusader Shotgun and swap to her alternate outfit to lower her power recharge time for more frequent Tech Bursts.

Ashley:

Outfit: Weapon Damage +25%

Level 31: Disruptor Ammo 6 (Squad Bonus, Headshots, Stun), Marksman 4 (Firing Rate)

Level 32: Alliance Officer 1

Level 33: Alliance Officer 2

Level 34: Alliance Officer 3

Level 60: Inferno Grenade 6 (Radius, Max Grenades, Radius and Shrapnel) Concussive Shot 3, Marksman 6 (Duration, Accuracy and Firing Rate), Alliance Officer 6 (Weapon Damage, Power Damage, Assault Rifles)

Ashley replaces Garrus as our primary source of weapon damage because she has Disruptor Ammo. Applying Disruptor Ammo to the whole squad allows for gunfire to have a chance of stunning Geth and priming them for Tech Bursts. Increasing her rate of fire via the use of her unique Marksman talent allows for these secondary effects of gunfire to trigger more often. Even with her outfit bonus to Weapon damage and the use of Garrus's N7 Typhoon, her raw DPS falls short of Garrus, but the extra utility makes her well-suited as Tali's partner on Rannoch Missions.
