Pathfinder armor vs N7 armor.

Through out most of the game and up to the end.  I used Angaran armor for the Tech boost.  Since my end game skills were Turret, Overload (I think that was the skill name) and Zapp.  I had Angaran Guerrilla VII armor during end game.  Augmented to my tastes.   Normal mode is easy enough that you could use any armor and be ok.  Though best to pick a set based on how you fight and your skills.  N7 is biotics all the way.  Were pathfinder is more rounded combat (if I remember correctly). 

Bonus my weapons at end (and through most of the game):

Pistal - Talon - At close range with some big enemy (Mechs, Big bots and those gorilla things).  It hits them hard and takes them down pretty fast.  Light rate of fire for more control.  Though not the best for max ammo or clip size.

Shotgun - Piranha - I am not a fan of Shotguns most of the time.  This one though was very comfy to me.  Good to use on Revs and Kett boss (those orbs suck).  Large boss or groups got a good spray.  Add a grenade augment and it was pretty fun. 

Riffle - Sandstorm - There are probably some better for damage or rate of fire, but this was nice.  Controlled fire so I was not wasting ammo.  Added with Seeking Plasma bolt augment, made it perfect.  With plasma seeking bolts, most missed shot still hit the target and I could shoot over barriers.  Was very nice. 

Sniper - Isharay - OMG MY BABY!  This gun was my favorite.  Most damage for any sniper (over 1300 at endgame).  Sure it's clip size was only 1 and max ammo I think was 30 at the end.  Though for upgrades it was perfect.  Many great upgrades had lowered clip size percentage.  Well when clip size is 1.  You can't lower it anymore.  So no negetive and all positive.  That and almost every basic enemy was a 1 shot kill (with fun comments from my crew).  Harder enemy with shields I would just hit them with overcharge to get rid of shields and stun them.  Then POP goes there heads.  I even named my endgame crafted one Baby!  Cause it's my baby.  Just don't use Plasma Seeking Bolt augment on it.  Slows and reduces dmg on the shot.  Just kills that gun.

Melee - Rev Cryo Glove (forgot to write the name down) - Not the most dmg but that cry freeze was nice.  Especially if you got a group of them.  Do a jump slam on a small group and a couple get frozen.  It was very sweet.  I did not do a lot of Melee but when I did.  It was always satisfying.

That's what I used.  In the end, you should try a lot of stuff out.  Find what feels good and go with it.  After all, we all have different tastes.  :D
