That's not the worst, the worst was a joker I heard who said that "stasis is a useless power on gold." But this is a pretty close alternative.

[samb]

 Not that I agree with them but being as I use SE almost exclusively in gold I. An say that they are of more limited utility against non geth.  Shield drain does deal okay damage, briefly staggers targets and hits instantly but when used against reapers and cererbus it doesn't replenish shields or DR. Compared to overload it isn't that great. 

SE is also very squishy.  Decoy does offer good protection but again, non geth don't seem to fall for it as much.  

So while I don't think SE is garbage, I would hardly call it godly, which is what I often see on these boards.

Except against Atlases, Centurions, Engineers, Nemeses, Turrets, and Marauders... there's almost always a target to hit to replenish your shields when you want to, with occasional exceptions for the Reapers.

Edit: Heck, there are only, what, 3 Cerberus troop types who DON'T have shields for you to drain - Guardians, Troopers, and Phantoms.

You can drain Barriers with ED too.  Meaning you can apply it to Banshees and Phantoms (although how I kill Phantoms, they generally wipe my shields immediately after using it anyway).  Still useful on Marauders and Banshees though, so long as you use it immediately AFTER the biotic explosion happens.

Against Cerberus and Geth it's invaluable, due to there almost always being some Cerberus troop with shields around.  Against Reapers they aren't quite as good, but they are definitely one of the best classes on Cerberus/Geth.  I've seen overloads strip half-shields on Gold before, but I never have that issue with an application of Tactical Cloak + Energy Drain + Sniper Rifle, with the ED immediately stripping the shield from everything but Phantoms and Atlases and leaving them open to death by Black Widow.

I hope he actually posts here, it would be entertaining to see .

Where are all these idiot players at?  I want them in my games, to show them up.  Silver feels like Bronze with a SI, and Bronze feels like nothing.  Gold is a bit of a challenge, but it's honestly the one mode where the SI shines to its fullest potential by negating shield gates on any non-boss enemies and retaining the ability to one-shot with TC.  

I feel like anyone bashing the SI simply can't be playing gold.

I run into a group of good idiots every couple of days on the PS3. Although one was playing a Krogan, so I can't really blame him for hating the Salarian. Maybe he was role-playing.

Also, relevant quote is relevant:
"Advantage of being salarian. Turians, krogan, vorcha all obvious threats. [inhale] Never see me coming."

[vladgd]

the salarian infiltrator is garbage....on opposite day.

seriously, i can't think of a class i would call better than the salarian infiltrator.

[Deviija]

Salarian Infi is my Gold powerhouse. Salarian Engineer with Decoy and Salarian Infis energy draining and sniping is an easy roll.

They're the two bottom scorers. The guy in second place was a random.

Sweet justice! you have done the infiltrators proud!

[kingsims]

A salarian infiltrator will always top the charts with Widow X, Valiant I-II, Black Widow I-III+, Javelin I-III+. Their single shot DPS from javelin and Widow X is very high (it beats the warp 6 + throw 6 both speced 100% in biotic detonation). An Asari adept will give an infiltrator will run for their score. No other class can touch the salarian infiltrator in the hands of a player who gets 90% headshots.

Salarians do well against cerberus and geth because they all have heads and weak points. Banshees have no weak point which is odd really, same with ravagers.

Man, you suck. (note: sarcasm) Seriously, though, way to show them up. 

Who kept dropping? You've got a total of 20 revives amongst you all.

My money's on the Vanguard in 3rd place.

Good vanguards are powerhouses, but bad vanguards are DERP.

 and a quote after that

not impressed bruh

dreamer was a level 13 SALOLRIAN AND I WAS A KROGAN LMAOGUARD

also you steal kills and you dreamer had to constantly revive you

begone, peasent.

What that screenshot doesn't show is the # of assists & stolen kills 

Why do you play with these scrubs?

[Delta 57 Dash]

... I refuse to read that thread anymore.

I lose IQ every time I do.

[Falcyn]

Your problem is that you're on a Naruto forum, and the Naruto fanbase has a *lot* of diehard trolls. Probably one of the worst fanbases out there.

[Maestro of Fails]

I have literally punched people into submission for talking like they type. Not to mention they do not know what BSN is when its the facilitated forum for discussing the game they own, and can be found in the user manual...

[Yajuu Omoi]

Personally...i prefer the quarian...BUT...thats only cuz i like the hack...ability and i'm not all that great with the sal...But i've seen ppl pull out the fricken clutch with one!!! so they've GOT to be BA when used right!!

I've been discussing classes for a while now, with two people from another forum. Basically just wanted to share some of the things they claim and get your opinion on said claims.


- "Energy Drain is garbage. As a result, Salarian Infiltrator is garbage."
- "The Salarian is not better than the Human or Quarian. The only real usefulness is the TC. Energy drain isn't as effective as you make it out to be.
- "Quarian > Salarian when it comes to infl. I can't believe you're even questioning this dude... I'm actually curious to play with you while using a SaLOLrian. Show me that scrub magic brah!"
- "I think any class upgraded to everything X can shred. except Jack's coveted salarian infiltrator LAWL"
- "no the geth engineer sucks."
- "salarian infiltrator is no different from any other infiltrator. energy drain sucks. and the geth engineer is garbage"

Etc, etc.

I see ignorance around here..
shield drain is very powerfull if you know how to use it

[Unnamed_Shadow]

its obvious this dude created the thread for trolling, i dunno why we pay attention...

[magor1988x]

Why do you waste your time with idiots?

The Salarian is amazing. Cloak>Drain>Kill or Cloak>Mine>Kill

On silver my low scores are in the 60ks, my average is high 70s low 80s, & I regularly hit over 100k. On Gold it varies depending on my role & the composition (Plus I don't have the BW yet.... grrrr).

Whoever these people are they clearly have no idea what they're talking about.

[I-am-Biwinning]

The first, and only solo gold I know of, was with a salarian infiltrator. If "garbage" can solo gold, then call me garbage all you want, you must mean it as some strange complement. Seriously, lay off the red sand people.

The Quarian Infiltrator has a wobbly ass, the Salarian doesn't.

I see no reason to argue the subject any further.

Edit: NICE performance in that game btw, way to show them. Steal kills? Yeaaaah, right. Beacuse you can actually steal enough to make that big a difference, even with level counted in, LOL!
