You could just play Sentinel, who is the real tank of the ME Classes. ME2 and 3 anyway. No, seriously, a Sentinel with Fisticuffs maxed can carry almost as much weight as a Soldier, even more than the Infiltrator/Vanguard, has a much better Heavy Melee, can last a damn lot more than a Soldier thanks to the armor, and has tons of talents to deal with any situation and any kind of enemy.

That way, you use Incineration to crush armor, Alteration to crush biotic shields, Sabotage to deal with Synthetics, Energy drain to crush energy shields, Omniarmor to resist damage, and have enough weight to carry an Assault Rifle and a nice Sniper Rifle and still be low enough to have a low cooldown to talents. And you can fisticuff anyone effectively. If your shields drop, shockwave that crushes shields and KOs everyone.

Trust me, Sentinels are a lot of fun.

In Dragon Age, an Arcane Warrir+Blood Mage/Spirit Healer is the most powerful class ever, lasting 5 times what a warrior does, having nice evasion, and dealing much more damage in a bigger area of a bigger variety thanks to magic. With those specs, who needs Shale?

Of course, you could also go the Isabela route. DW Rogue, high dextery, Duelist. Nothing can hit you, you deal high DPS. Who needs armor when nothing even lands on you?
