In case anyone else hasn't realized already, you should always plot an escape route with hunter mode before you go for a melee.


Utilizing the extra awareness of Hunter Mode to better your real time strategizing is definitely a big part of the Geth Infiltrator.


Definitely!  That's why I love the extra speed and 30m range upgrade from Rank 6 HM so much.

I'm currently specced into damage. Does that damage bonus apply to melee as well as weapons/powers?

Good to know I'm not the only GI who gets... uh, slightly fornicated with on Hydra. 'Tis a shame, 'cause I like that map. Particularly the Geth ships behind the LZ. :D

I have a slightly technical question: extended barrel and AP ammo on Claymore with the GI, worth it? Or is it better to use shredder mod and warp/incendiary/distruptor ammo? I've heard both ways, and tried both ways, but found there were too many variables so I couldn't quite tell if one was doing more damage than the other, or if it was just a placebo effect.

Yup, it's an extra +10% damage with everything... weapons, powers, melee, etc
The damage bonus you get from Hunter Mode is across the board.

I've tried Rank 6 with both, and to my tastes... I liked the speed and range better personally.
I didn't find the extra 10% to really be needed for the melee damage, as I can disintigrate a Geth Pyro in two pulses in Gold with or without it.

If I used my weapon more, and carried a really powerful one (like GodlessPaladin's Claymore build) it would definitely be more noticiable.... but currently I'm just using a Phalanx X.

It also adds to the Prox Mine damage, but if you really want to boost Power Damage, you are better off to skip Rank 6 and just go 3 ranks in Networked AI.
You'll get 5% weapon damage (10% if Geth weapon), +15% power damage, and extra weight capacity.

Of course, you can do both.... as GodlessPaladin's build, by dropping Rank 6 in cloak.... but I use that a lot, so *shrug*

I really liked this build.

The only problem I have with it is that it relies on a Claymore X for faster cooldowns, yes?. Well, I only have a V one..Does this affect the effectiveness of the build?.

/ADD Oh! A question!. Does the heavy melee attack ignore the shield gate on Gold?.

  No, it doesn't rely on the Claymore X for faster cooldowns.  For the most part, the mechanics of cloak makes weight far less important.  A Claymore V should be just fine.

I love you so much. And I mean that in a very homosexual way.

That was the most fun I have ever had in a Gold run. I mean.. Killing entire groups of Phantoms with the Heavy Melee or the Proximity Mine. WOW!

I died a lot, but that was because I got careless at times. My team was very good, though and I only had to use 2 or 3 Medi-Gels and not a single damn Missile.

Thank you for showing me the way!.

I did the sniper rifle thing with my GI for a little bit; then switched to the Geth SMG for fun, and actually really liked it. Once I added the Geth AR with an armor piercing mod to deal with armored targets and to shoot through light cover with, I was having a lot of fun. 

When I came back to the game for the MP weekend, and saw GAR and GSMG both buffed AND that my mines were going to be debuffing a larger area, I could scarcely believe my luck.  The recharge rate is incredible, the guns are a snap to use at both long range and short, and the DPS is alot higher than you might expect from using the GAR and GSMG on other toons.  I did the GPS thing with my Geth for a bit, and I really prefer the playstyle of the automatic weapons.  I honestly don't see the point in getting into melee range when you can blow enemies up around corner, shoot through walls, and mow down a full pack of staggered enemies in seconds.

The DPS to weight ratio is great and having time to move, position and fire off two mines during one cloak is something that would be hard for me to give up to use a one shot per clip shotgun.  160% recharge down to 40% recharge...? No thanks.

GP - Have you looked at the numbers for radius vs. damage on the proxy mines? I was messing around with the class builder and I think I may switch to damage vs. radius. It's already a fairly decent blast size and the added de-buff from damage may be worth considering.

Damage

Radius

  Yes.  I prefer radius for more crowd control and collateral damage, as well as hitting through walls more.

The addtional damage is not worth it compared to the additional range in my opinon...

Hmm. I can see the reason for hitting through walls. That is handy indeed.

Thing is...I'm wondering if HM being active is accounted for in the builder? Or does it do an additional 15% on top of what is already shown? If it is additional to that base number then it bumps the PM damage to 989~. That is a hard hit. Can anyone clarify one way or the other here?

I have no idea how the builder works, I took one look at it and it didn't seem very informative and never bothered with it again.

So apparently the Dazzle doesn't actually work. There's apparently no way to hook it into a standard HDTV which doesn't have a spot for RCA cables.  What a colossal waste of time and money.  Hopefully I can take everything back... which will waste more time.  Argh.

Does anyone know anything that will ACTUALLY WORK without buying a brand new TV specifically for it?  And doesn't cost more than a TV either.  <_<

I didn't read the whole thread, but a friend of mine used a DVD recorder once to make a Halo 3 montage.
Quality was not the best of the bests, but it was totally acceptable.

Well, okay, I borrowed one of the old Xbox cables that has 6 cords (RCA and component), but I've still got problems. The Dazzle footage is... well, really bad. It's super laggy/jumpy. How do I make it record properly?

Really wish I could get this thing working.  As soon as I do I could post a ton of in-depth class/etc guides for you folks that won't hurt your eyes, with commentary and all that.

paladin are you in the uk or the usa??? you can buy a cheap capturecard in the uk for under £15 roughly $28 us dollers... it will do the job and capture upto 1080p the only thing it wont do like the dearer versions is pause and rewind live tv.. as it only has rca or svideo inputs google "easy cap usb2.0 video and capture adaptor" :D

oh and the kicker if you use the rgb component hd official xbox one most tvs have the red green blue connetors for hd. it will have the yellow and red white audio cables to plug into your capture card thus you will be able to play fine on your tv whilst your desktop or laptop is recording the footage. i use avi format for recording then shrink it to upload etc most 30 minutes sessions use up to 3gb or more space when i done it for 1080p capture 28 minutes used 32GB  then i had to convert and shrink it down to under 900MB then upload to youtube i wish i kept it but sadly i dont do video capturing anymore just dont have the time so sold it on ebay..

I'm in the USA.  I recently picked up a Dazzle capture card, but the problem is (besides that I need to use RCA...) is that the video it gives me is all laggy and jumpy and I don't know why.

Not if I have to earn all of my weapons all over again.  Besides ME3 isn't the only game I would use such a setup for if I ever got it working.

ill need to look into what software the dazzle uses and what format it records in ill post back its possible its just a setting your using you may be better off going to there official forums for support... the actual capture card i used is very expensive hauppauge i think its about $250 us dollers comes with a pcie card and external box...

I've always used this style of Infiltrator build, simply because I absolutely suck with Sniper Rifles, but really wanted to play a geth. Necessity is the mother of invention after all?

I totally ignore my gun though, I still triple any non GI Proxyspam player's score on Gold. It's not that I'm trying to be a killhog or anything, it's just that good. Even if you don't kill anything, the sheer volume of assist points from low cooldown Proximity mine against the hordes of enemies on Gold make it so.

It's probably the only build that I can reliably win Random Gold as well. As long as it's not Firebase Reactor anyway, I have my gamma set too low to see anything on that map, but too bright ruins Hunter Mode on other maps.
