Obviously the most powerful set up in the game at the moment, with prox mines in the mix, I usually nuke down any of the boss enemies with great ease on my own... and super awesomely ease when a full party is attacking them with me.

My only problem with this character is that I am so darn squishy with sub 1000 shields and health, you're practically asking for death if you are not on top of your game the entire match. I guess that is the price you pay for single handedly tearing up stuff in gold/platnium games.

Just a random thought on the class/character.

It's fun. Too fun. I am prepared to use my claymore if they decide to ruin the Piranah. (which would be unjustified, btw).

Are you just discovering the power of the Geth Infiltrator?

[megabeast37215]

It's the most broken OP class in the game, and if using Piranha... it's using the most broken OP gun in the game. They both deserve a big ole' whack with the nerf bat.

Seriously though guys... think about this: What got the Krysae nerfed? It's performance on the Geth Infiltrator... What's going to get the Piranha nerfed? It's performance on the Geth Infiltrator.

The GI is the real culprit in many weapon nerfs IMO... and until he is balanced, he will continue to be.

Put the pre-nerf Krysae or Piranha on anything and it is good.

The Geth Infiltrator has nothing to do with it.

They tried to balance the GI's tac cloak but that nerf affected all the other characters in the class. So stupid, seriously.

Pre nerf Krysae was fine on non-infiltrators (and I should put it out there that I LOATHE the Krysae). Piranha is fine on classes without ROF/accuracy bonuses. I don't see Vanguards flying around the level destroying everything with a Piranha, I don't see Engineers leveling bosses with it either. In fact... when I see Demolishers using the Piranha... I'm not too impressed with the damage output... however, when it's on the GI... I can personally kill a fresh PLATINUM Atlas in two clips. Can't do that with the Turian Soldier, and can't do it with the Destroyer either... b/c they don't have the damage bonuses the GI does.

GI is POTENTIALLY most powerful character in the game.
At the same time, it is potentially most disastrous characters for those who are not ready for it.

[its THAT guy]

Am I the only one who uses a Javelin on the GI? Seriously? I know shotguns probably are the kings of damage atm, but I find that the combo isn't nearly all THAT bad. Those damage bonuses do stack up, after all.

[Dharvy]

My platinum GI build is not squishy and he plays Platinum like a terminator. My friend spec his GI for Damage, and I spec mine for Utility. He outscores me at times but I have more survivability. Its fun being able to cloak, tank, and kill everything.

[FlowCytometry]

Honestly, its hard for a class that has both a wall hack and stealth to *not* be powerful in an fps. They are both the whole reason his counter-balance - being a glass cannon- doesn't really work out well. What it really translates to is: poor GIs are really bad; good GIs utterly dominate.

Not really. They tried to balance Infiltrators in general.

What did people complain about? The epic damage bonus infiltrator's had but those complaints didn't happen until that Resurgence DLC came out. GI outclassed every other character in terms of weapon damage. They should have slapped down the passives and maybe put a small dent in the tac cloak but instead tac cloak got beat to death with the nerf hammer and every other character got screwed because of it. I noticed this when I used to played human infiltrator almost exclusively.
Check it out now, everyone is a shotgun infiltrator. Who even uses a sniper anymore?

Anyone remember how ludicrous the GI used to be before the TC and HM nerfs? Dude has been hit twice with the nerf bat and is still a beast.

Actually, since I had 3 resec cards recently (and tons of SR amps since I rarely play snipers) I gave the Jav GI w/ full damage spec a whirl. I didn't use it more than farm platinum matches, but hanging out back behind the room everyone camps made it pretty easy. If anything the Jav becomes more viable on Platinum than Gold cause the fire delay and shield gate dun matter as much w/ so many big, high armored targets to kill, and the innate smoke and cover piercing are great to have. Each shot is ~4k dmg w/ the right setup- add Incindiary ammo III/IV and its quite good burst damage.

Granted, it took lotsa reload canceling to work, but not even being able to see half the spawns at any time I could usually outscore everyone and hardly take any fire. Just gotta be able to deal w/ the phantoms and rocket troopers that sometimes flank- not too bad if ur not jumped by them since PM keeps them pre-occupied enough to line up shots, and ya can tag them when they try to hide in cover.

It may not be overall as effective as Claymore or Piranha builds, but it def can work pretty well.

Tact cloak deals the same damage, you just have a smaller window of opportunity. Alternatively you can spec for utility and cut the bonus in half.

Not beaten to death so much as neutered

[Imp of the Perverse]

That's my go to setup for platinum, but I avoid it in gold since I usually end up grossly outscoring everybody else (unless they're also playing high dps builds) and then the lobby inevitably clears. In gold I've been running with a hurricane and an indra, which gets the job done and is more fun. The indra is great for landing headshots from a distance, but is worthless in CQC, while the hurricane is devastating at close range when coupled with the GI's various damage buffs.

As for squishiness, I use duration tactical cloak, so I spend most of the game invisible and play more like a shadow than a camping sniper. With hunter mode's wallhack you get the drop on enemies rather than the other way around, just fire a prox mine and entire groups will never get a chance to fire back.

If Infiltrators lost their damage boost for ranged weapons, they'd be very balanced. Keep it for melee as the in-game equivalent of slitting throats from behind, but the idea that being invisible makes you a better shot with a gun is a joke. Even the lore makes no sense, because of the power conduits or whatever in the suit, since if that were the case, every damned soldier would have one. I think though that Human Infiltrator would need a boost, since sticky grenade and cryo blast are not great powers on their own.

I think it's more like someone traded in their Ferrari for a Lexus... still a fantastic car, just not a Ferrari.

It's not that the GI is OP it's that all other classes are UP. Everything else just needs to be on par with the GI. This way everyone can get high scores. Oh and make enemies tougher too to compensate

[Rokayt]

I love the GI, especially with an incendiary Revenant nowadays.

However, they are kinda cheap. I will admit that.

Yeah... Bioware should modify 41 other characters, and every enemy in the game to account for the OP abomination that is the GI... NOT.
