i just tried the geth melee build and it's a killing machine when i do it right, but i always get killed because i get shot or meleed even when cloaked, now i know that the AI shoots your last known position but they actually keep track of where im going and stuff (sometimes even running at me for the melee), and as you can guess this means i dont last long.

anyone got any tips for a GI melee class newb?

current build:

6/6/6/0/6

weapon : carnie X with melee mod and barrel

cloak : damage / melee damage / bonus power
P mine : radius / damage taken / damage
hunter: power recharge / power damage / speed and vision
networked ai: none
advanced hardware : melee damage / martial artist / power synergy

I personally don't like Geth for melee. Their fast melee is slow and lacks fast follow-ups, and their heavy isn't that powerful afaik.

However, I can help you with your tactical cloak. Enemies can see you to an extent through your cloak, but only if you're close. As a rule of thumb, don't assume you're completely undetectable if you're within about 20 metres of your opponents. However, they won't have an easy time seeing you, never mind shooting you. Therefore, keep moving, and don't take your time to attack if you're close to them.

In short, melee is good for making a quick getaway (but dodging must still be done - don't run at parallel angles to them, for instance), as well as for lining up a sneaky attack.

This isn't true.  a melee build GI can 1 shot troopers from cloak, and cloak->pm->1 heavy melee stuff like nemesis/hunters.  mine+2 ticks can kill a phantom.  And this is all AoE, so if enemies are positioned well, you can kill multiple enemies at once.

PS: i choose to use GPS on my melee GI.  anything that isn't dead in 1-2 ticks can be shotty'd down fairly quick.

edit: for OP, I find its best to engage enemies that are shooting at your friends.  If they have something else to keep their attention they tend to focus on you less.  Flank around a side, and start electrifing stuff to death.

I messed around with lots of builds on GI. Here are a few thoughts.

I don't like bonus power for rank 6 cloak on any Infiltrator. Sure you can fire a proxi mine and stay cloaked, but what is the point? Are you just going to fire a mine and not engage? You will decloak when you fire your weapon anyway, or melee. Melee damage makes sense to take though, so that fine.

I also agree with your mine evolutions. Although you could potentially go to damage instead of radius (since base is 3m) you potentially apply the damage debuff to more units, so that is why I use it.

For what you are doing, I agree with the hunter mode evolutions. Fitness is fine too.

If you wanted you could take the last 6 out of Cloak and put them into Passive for 5/6/6/3/6. Up to you.

The build is fine though, you just need to "learn" how to play it. But that said, this style should really be called "suicide bomber" since you will be taking fire if other enemies have a line of sight on you.
