I remember reading in Mass Effect guides that the infiltrator class was capable of dealing the most damage in a given amount of time (DPS) in the first game. I think that has probably changed by now, so I'd like to know what's the current state of affairs. Since facing insanity will be no easy feat, I'd like to push odds in my favor.
Which class in ME3 can be optimized to achieve the highest DPS?
