trolls, they are

My name is Eire Icon and sadly I just can't snipe, I'm awful at it

But I've played with enough Salarian Infiltrators (who know what they are doing) to know that they rack up the high scores like few other classes

It makes me sad

Hey, I'm all for people having opinions. Those particular pople just have an objectively, demonstrably and definitely false opinion, that's all.

-A Good Salarian Infiltrator.

SI is probably the most versatile class in the game-- ED is borderline overpowered and synergizes perfectly with the infiltrator class in general. Your friends must love them some Bronze.

Energy Drain is basically an upgrade to Overload. Not only do you immediately get your shield back if you use it on synthetic/shielded enemies, but you get rid of your enemy's shield as well. Its hitting two birds with one stone typically. Cant go wrong with that.

Uh... Salarian is the most "broken" infiltrator
You can get shields while cloaked adn you dont have to worry about shield gates

Geth pyro? Cloak into E Drain + headshot
Enjoy making one of the toughest gold enemies a cake walk

if the Pyro is one of the thoughest enemies on gold then that means you havent played the Reapers yet...

Pretty much, can't say I'm surprised when I see people swearing that the Geth rifle is the best weapon ever for Gengineers. What's next ? Biotic Explosions are underpowered compared to Cryo Blast ?

The Pyros are a non-threat unless you get flanked, which is very unlikely to happen if there is the tiniest amount of coordination/communication in your team. Marauders zerg rush on gold reaper capture waves is far more dangerous, along with ravagers or phantoms. They die real fast to engineers as well, which, with their tendency to spawn in cluster, make them fairly ignorable.

Better way to deal with pyros: headshots. No ED or anything. When the shot hits their head hitbox, it strips their shields; then it goes through that to the tank hitbox, which causes a leak and inevitable explosion (dunno what causes it to be immediate vs. several moments later, though; maybe disruptor ammo/ED/overload?).

But that's not what the thread's about. |D

I feel ya, OP. I've had friends like that. So aggravating. They'll probably never see reason. The difference between my friends and yours seems to be that mine were good enough, despite insisting some of the worst classes in the game were the best, that I had trouble showing them up. Meanwhile your friends apparently suck. Tell them to bring their A-game, not "for the lolz" classes and level 13s. Don't let them have their beloved excuses. Then kick them, hard, right in the kissers. >

...Yes, this is kind of vicarious revenge, I admit. But they deserve it. :3

Ok, a more serious response this time around:

Energy Drain:
Does Damage (good)
Does Triple Damage to Shield/Barrier (good, but not as good as overload's x6)
Has an Innate AOE that you can upgrade (good)
Restores your shields (VERY GOOD)
Gives you 40% DR for 10 seconds at rank 6 (VERY GOOD)

Then you have cloak, one of the best utility abilities in the game. 90% Extra Damage, Easy Objective hacking, Easy mob bypass, Easy revives...

WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE SMOKING?!!?

Agreed, this energy drain can put me in the middle ofa gunfight and I can come out on top almost all the time.

There's a reason why it's in the god tier. It has no mediocre power. Sure, you kill less than novaguard on bronze, but those guys are  useless on gold anyways.

I haven't played SI much yet, mostly due to lack of good sniper rifles. However, my SE can attack nonstop on gold since my shield is always up unless I get attacked by 2 elites or more.

Nova Guards are not useless on gold, good VG are just rare, while mediocre SE/SI are plentiful.

I guess. Takes a lot of skills not to die. IMHO they still have pretty poor team synergies when people tend to bunker down though.

Just a little anecdote regarding a Salarian Infiltrator:

Silver. Cerberus. Wave 10. Two people disconnected in wave 7. It's just me (Nova Vanguard) and this Salarian Infiltrator. We make the best team for a few waves already. Neither of us dying. Him stripping off shields, picking out the heavy targets while I clean up the troopers, Nemesis, Centurions and turn Guardians around so he can snipe 'em in the back. All of this without talking.
The score racks up evenly. But damn... in the beginning of Wave 10 I made a foolish charge close to an Atlas, duck for cover, phantom sneaks up and takes me out with her uber-stabbity-stab.

I thought we were doomed. Salarian Infiltrator henceforth solo's the rest of the wave. O.o Wave 11 comes and we make full extraction.

Sure. This was a great player before he was a Salarian Infiltrator, but I'm certain the class enabled him to be this awesome against Cerberus @ Wave 10 Silver.

Salarian Infiltrator sucks? I don't think so.

[Felonious_Monk]

I did seven or eight waves of silver on my SI last night, against the Geth and with a human soldier partner, when our two other public teammates disappeared early on. Our goal was just to make it through Wave 7 and collect a decent amount of money. We ended up finishing it, despite having two king-of-the-hill objectives (hold this location until the progress bar completes). Admittedly, I had to revive him fairly often, but I ended up using only a couple medigels and three missiles.

I realize it's possible to solo silver with an SI, but I don't think it's a realistic expectation if you get king-of-the-hill.

[mrcanada]

Human Infitrator is garbage with a SR, useful with a SG. Quarian is only useful on one enemy type and Salarian was best pre-resurgence. They now all bow to the Geth. Your friends are idiots.
