I think your hyperbole is stupid. Under no circumstances could you get a power use plus the 5 grenades (atleast 4 or 5 seconds there) AND shoot.
It used to last 10 seconds IIRC. In that time you could definitely use tactical scan and at least 3-4 grenades. Maybe not 5 but that was still stupid.
Errr..yea, no. The second you use the tactical scan the power shuts off. You have a 1.5-2 second window of damage boost left, that's enough to shoot 1 or 2 shots from a BW after using scan (which has atleast 1 second of casting). 4-5 nades? Lolno. You could throw that many nades without using a power because they're bugged and don't count towards cancelling TC. But that's a different issue. You sir, are just flat out wrong. Pull your foot out of your mouth, you must be hurting choking on your thigh.
A melee GI/Reager works really well.AbhijitSM wrote...

Wait until you see a GI Reegar Carbine.
Though i agree that a GI+Reegar will outdo any damage. But to get into a range like that which a reegar requires to kill quickly i wouldn't chose a GI.
Try doing that with a Krogan Vanguard & you are much more effective. It's a tank class which if you spec with cyclonic modulator 3 or 4 & Shield booster V from the perma gear + add to it the barrier power damage reduction of 30% to 40% & you have a unkillable character on gold. If your still have get your shields down just use biotic charge to replenish.The only downside to this build are the OHK's by certain enemies when u get too close.
For me Krogan Vanguard + Reegar > GI + Reegar
Nope. I've played countless games where I've been focused on, activated cloak, and the enemy has switched focus to a near teammate. Countless. I've also done it and been focused on still. It's about timing, and a little luck.Kenadian wrote...
And I'm telling you the aggro dumping is a load of nonsense. It always has been.

Well he could have been using bonus power in rank 6 of TC. That would make chucking 5 grenades after a Tac Scan certainly possible (as well as lol faceroll).
There have also been countless times when that Hunter or Pyro goes "lolno" and continues to take you down. I will agree with you that the GI in the hands of a skilled player is a ridiculously good choice.astheoceansblue wrote...

And whatever man, semantics, the fact remains the Gi can negate dmage like no other if you know how to use him well.

It takes less time than 11 seconds if the hurricane has AP ammo equipped with Marksman specced right.Feneckus wrote...
That was recorded today, so after the Hunter Mode and Tactical Cloak nerfs and after the Cerberus buffs.
It only takes 4 shots to take down an Atlas, or 7-8 seconds. And that's with "Speed & Vision" instead of "Damage" at rank 6 of Hunter Mode. With "Damage", it probably takes 3 shots and 5-6 seconds considering 3 shots leaves the Atlas with just a couple of bars of armor. That's ridiculous.
For comparison, a Human Soldier with the exact same weapon/mods/equipment takes 12 seconds to kill an Atlas, almost twice as long -->
A Turian Soldier with a Hurricane II will take 11 seconds -->

So a Geth Infiltrator has way better DPS than those guys but he can also turn invisible for 5 seconds, see enemies through walls/smoke, debuff/stagger crowds in a 4.5m radius every 3 seconds no matter the loadout (and that does decent damage by itself) and he also has the best melee in the game.
And no, the fact that he's squishy does not make up for all that.

This is possible, but who in their right mind takes that evol instead of sniper damage?

Nobody, but who needs a TacScan first when you've got 4 Arc Grenades with the cloak damage bonus? I mean before you even shot your gun once...

Aggrod
dumping works inconsitently. It's not by itself that amazing, but
combined with the other powers in the GI's skillset and the lack of
shields really doesn't matter.

You're the same guy saying people were cheating by using the reegar and flamer at the same time. Do you want us to fight the enemies with sticks?

Eh, I take it on shottie infillys if I have the points to spare. Good for infillys I've specced for duration and use as objective runners, medics and for watching the flank. Plus it has a little more synergy on MQI than most of the other ones.
That's a bug with the Reegar. You can shoot it while staggered as well, as if you are a Hunter. It's not a balance issue.Feneckus wrote...

I just want a balanced game, that's all.
No
character should be a God on the battlefield, making pretty much all
other classes pale in comparison. Of course there will always be a best
class, but you shouldn't be able to kill an Atlas in 5 seconds with one
class while the rest will have to spend 10+ seconds.
And about
that Reegar + flamer thing, same reason. You can't fire a revenant while
you're using flamer, so why should you be able to do that with a Reegar
? That doesn't make sense.

I'm not saying anything about the GI being OP. I couldn't care less about that right now. The fact is, though, that if you know how to utilise his skill set you can avoid damage better than any other class in the game.

Until you get a wave 10 upload/hack objective, and everyone on your team is a Geth Infiltrator.

Yea, let's make all comparisons based on how fast a class can kill Atlas. Things like killing groups of enemies with grenade spam, biotic bombs etc. should be ignored, because they do not kill Atlas as fast as a GI.

The right GI Carbine build can take down an Atlas in 2 clips.
So you are saying the Quarian can take down an Atlas in 2 clips or better?
