Best build for a vanguard in Mass effect 3

[Ch4llen]

I have seen quite a few builds for the vanguard online but I would like to hear what play style and build people use for the Multiplayer and single player. What armor, weapons and abilities would you select and why?

I prefer using the graal spike but the limited bullets is quite a pain. The collector armor is useful because of the boost to health, shields and shield regen. Has anyone tried the m-99.

In single player I maxed Nova, Biotic Charge, Pull, the stat increases, and took Warp Ammo. Didn't bother with incendiary or cryo ammo, and put only a few in shockwave.

For weapons I took the Mattock (with the sight and bonus damage), and the Disciple (bonus damage and piercing). At level five for both I had a recharge of 144%. Switched teammates a lot, but I nearly always had either Javik or Liara for the 'splosions.

Armor was whatever increased weapon damage. Didn't wear a helmet.

In MP, Biotic Charge and Nova with say a pistol are the bomb.

I'm playing NG+ at the moment on insanity, but charging and nova doesn't really cut it anymore. At the moment the paladin is more useful taking down shields and enemies than most of my shotguns, except the claymore but that only has one round per clip.
