I have not played the new Infiltrators yet but I'm curious to know the "reasons" of the nerf.
Last week it was mentioned the increasing number of Infiltrators on Gold lobbies. So if a great number of persons play a class it is OP, thus need to be nerfed?
So Mobile phones are OP, please nerf mobile phones (just a little joke
Anyway is Infiltrator still fun to play? I don't care if it is OP or not, I just want to have fun.
-10% bonus is not great deal. 100 points of damage less with Claymore, not a problem after all.
Thus useless class, hence fun nerfed!LordSerion wrote...

They messed up the cooldown and duration very badly. This means no rez in the middle of enemy hordes and no hacking objectives for a lot of them. So I'd say it's not fun to play for them.
What's the highest damage bonus we can get?billy the squid wrote...
Wut? They nerfed damage for sniper rifles, somewhat excessively in my opinion. But I can still throw out huge damage with a Widow and Javelin. Duration of tac cloak was cut. so you now have to choose between damage and duration.
I'm still going for damage, the rest of the team can pick up the slack when it comes to objectives. That's all that's changed really.
With smart chocker you have a good range...tatski wrote...

So it's 80% damage boost while cloaked using shotguns right?billy the squid wrote...

They nerfed Sniper damage at evolution 6 from 40% to 25%, and the base damage bonus for Tac cloak went from 50% to 40%
How that stacks depends on the infiltrator you're using and what weapon set up you're equipped with.
25% multiplicative.billy the squid wrote...
I think the TC sniper damage nerf was 40% to 25%. That's excessive, considering most damage is blocked by shield gating.

So, now taking duration brings it to the full duration it had before? 13 seconds? Sounds nice, but they could have made it more appealing, people will still go the damage route, which hasn't taken a really big hit. Shotgun infils are probably the ones that got hit harder, but they mostly deserved it. Claymore was simply too good on an infiltrator. The rest of the changes are lovely- specially the weight decrease on mah Wraith I, it now makes it much more Vanguard-viable
50% according to the patch notes, but I think you're right and the patch notes are wrong. The wiki says 40% at least.GordianKnot42 wrote...
Ah. Okay. But wasn't Evolution 1 (aka. Rank 4A) previously a 40% boost in duration? Just wanna make sure I understand. Thanks.

I can't believe some people continue to think that infiltrators use tact cloak to dump aggro. At most a good infiltrator is cloaked for a second, so for that ONE second there may be increased bullet fire towards you, but after that ONE second they'll be shooting at me also.Josh.de wrote...

Depends how you look at it. Yes, it's certainly still very viable on the damage front and general gameplay. But that major nerf in duration is going to make the disarm objectives somewhat more of a hassle than they were.PhalanxForMe wrote...
Cool tc didnt get destroyedThere was a 17+ page topic with one guy complaining about aggro dumping.NikkoJT wrote...
I think TC might have been hit a little too hard with the nerf-bat here. 50% duration decrease? I don't think anyone was complaining about people using it to actually be invisible instead of just for the damage boost.
Exactly this.
You get your damage bonus, or you can keep hiding, not both.
Good changes all in all.

But that was a 40% increase from a base of 8 seconds, now it's a 150% increase from a base of 4 seconds. And the increase at rank 3 is still 30%, I think.
So before, you'd get 8 seconds*(100+30+40)/100 = 13.6 seconds. Now it's 4 seconds*(100+30+150)/100 = 11.2 seconds. Whereas the damage evolution only gives you 4*1.3 = 5.2 seconds of duration.
