Wow, they really nerfed this class, the Geth infiltrator is unplayable with this balance change, tactical cloak is way too short, the damage from my black widow is really weak. Just played a round where we had to get the four access points, I was killed every time I de-cloaked. I consider myself a good player, I usually finish 1st or 2nd every round, but they really took the fun out of this class. If it ain't broken don't fix it.

Edit for substance: Some people don't seem to know what "unplayable" means.

Take the Duration evolution if you feel you need a longer Cloak.

I guess you perhaps proved you were not as good of a player as you thought.

We must not be playing the same game.
Geth infiltrator is more interesting to play now.

They really aren't. You just have to choose between utility and firepower now. I noticed very little difference in damage after the nerf if I speced for it, but they just buffed Cerberus so if you seem to be doing less damage against them, it's probably because of that.

It isn't completely broken. I have my Salarian Infiltrator built for TC endurance....not damage. I just played two matches with my friends earlier today (on Gold) and scored 120k-140. I was top damage. A lot of people will say that I sucked as the SI because I shouldn't be the top scorer, but I may add that I revived my buddies a LOT and also helped complete objectives. So no I wasn't just sniping while the rest of the team was doing "the work". I was cooperating as I normally do.
It's harder, yes, but it's completely doable.
I wasn't happy about the TC/headshot damage nerf either, I promise you. So I have been running my SI a lot to make sure it's still worth it and it is.
ETA: I used an M-98 Widow X, a Sniper Rifle Gear Bunus III, Sniper Rifle Amp II and Incendiary I rounds.

It's certainly not a broken class, you just can't play them the way you used to. I still consider my FQI one of my best, and most fun, builds. The Infiltrator is no longer a jack of all trades; you either have to essentially choose a damage or support role.
If you choose damage, you can no longer wander all over the map, ghosting in and out of cloak. Cover becomes a necessity due to the lack of duration of the cloak. Cloak exists pretty much only for the damage boost. Don't expect to be capping objectives and reviving teammates with ease. I use a sniper rifle for this build.
If you choose the support role, objectives and revives become pretty easy and you can ghost all over the map...just don't expect to do much damage. I generally use a shotgun for support infiltrator builds.
It'll take some getting used to, but the Infiltrator is far from an unplayable class.

Unfortunate but OP is spot on the money really except for the unplayable bit - snipers got hurt the most with damage output and without duration cloak is too short if you're depending on it for objectives.
But the GI is still a lot of fun to play... just not as great as it used to be. Try playing the shotgun build for damage output, or go with duration if you want it for objectives. But you have to pick and choose damage or duration now.
I still say it wasn't broken and didn't need fixing.

Infiltrators are not unplayable, they're just no longer the go-to class for noobs attempting to play above their difficulty level.

They're as playable as before.
Give them a Krysae X and they are as boring as before.

My biggest problem with the cloak is how almost every enemy seems to see me through the cloak. Its almosy worthless.

hmm.... FB Dagger, Cerberus, Gold. 157k score, top of my team. 15 revives achieved. Salarian infiltratorr, specced for damage. want more? I never get below 100k score, usually top score in my team, regardless of the map/enemy. Looks like u have to change ur way of playing, or just dont use GI.

It's funny, because the Krysae X still does damage per shot comparable to a Black Widow but won't kill a damage specced Infiltrator's cooldowns like a Black Widow will thanks to the new 4 second base cloak duration.
It's as if Bioware wanted to fix the Krysae Infiltrator problem by encouraging Infiltrators to use the Krysae.
