The Geth get a + 30% power damage for a heavy melee kill if you take the 6th evolution on fitness. It will be nice to finally take advantage of the Geth melee bonuses for once.

I love these threads where people say stuff sucks that they haven't even used


We already have all 3 powers in the game. And this combination is boring and just bad.

Defensive matrix would be far better instead of fortification, but hey if BW wants Swiss armyknife character then it is their decision.

The Geth Soldier is an in your face, brutal killing MACHINE!!!...get it?


Well, the question is if Fortification is enough to make him "tanky" enough for the "in your face" part. I have my doubts...

inb4 everyone realizes how OP the Flamer actually is...

With a passive bonus up to 45%, 30% bonus from Fortification, and up to 37.5% from Hunter Mode, it will hit about 680 DPS with amps and gear. Against armor, it will be 1000+.

You won't be able to self-detonate, but I'm sure your GI friend with Proximity Mine can do something about that.

How about skipping flamer and going:

Fortification : DR, Melee dmg, DR
Hunter mode: max it out for wep accuracy, RoF, damage
passives: wep dmg, head shots, wep damage
max shields.

Give it a GPS and a GPR[to get into character] or javelin.

Sounds pretty badass!!

Huge shields + fortification = Super tank.
Huntermode's power/damage boost + /flamer (best power ever) = Epic damage

It's mathematically proven that this class is a badass

The GPR doesn't need an accuracy bonus, and I don't think it functions on the GPS. I'm leaning heavily towards the Revenant.

 We (nearly) know that Geth Soldier class would be Hunter mode/flamer/Fortification. 

WTF, Bioware! This is boring and stupid skill combo, also it has no new skills (I know Krogan Shaman hasn't got them too) Where are Siege Pulse, Defence Matrix, Overkill, Plasma Grenade and over 9000 cool ideas that were on forums? 

HM + Fortification, what were you thinking of?


Turian with jetpacks, someone?

 Bioware is already over my expectaions, they did a lot more than I thought they would do in this MP. After earth, Turians with Jetpacks and Volus support class, all for free, Bioware can release as many "generic" characters as they want.

 Anyway, I'm 100% sure that when the Geth soldier is released, we will find threads like "OMG! Geth Soldier is amazing!!". At least wait fot ir to be released before complaining.. it add more variety, it's good enough for me...

He'll be amazing in damage, but nothing new in gameplay.

These new characters are disappointing, given that they render existing classes obsolete. There is no reason to play as a Vorcha anymore.

Nothing? Geth play different from vorcha, I don't remember having a geth with flame. It's the same case as the shaman, if you consider only the powers, it's a human adept without singularity, but you must consider the character as a whole, a Krogan play completely different form a human, same with geth and vorcha. It don't need a new power to add variety...

Thematically I would have preferred he get Defense Matrix instead of Fortification, however I can see why they went the route they did. Having Fortification gives the option to go really heavy melee with him as Geth heavy melee is already one of the more powerful ones in the game, give it a purged fortification boost and everything will melt.

His flamer is also going to be stupid powerful given the power bonuses of hunter mode and fortification.

Of all the new classes the geth soldier is one of the ones I have the least problems with.

Bloodlust and the most fun melee ever is reason enough to me...

Shaman is boring. Just a Krogan Soldier with some biotics. Geth Soldier = Vorcha + Krogan Soldier with Hunter Mode. Nothing special or new.

...are you trolling? Because based on your posting history, you're smarter than this. 

This is essentially the same argument people have been putting forward about the Human Sentinel since launch: it's a "poor man's Asari". But it's not at all, because dropping Stasis changes your gameplay drastically even before you add Tech Armor's DR.  

The Shaman is what you get when you take a Krogan Soldier and replace a defensive power that boosts melee damage for one that sets up BEs; replace a slow, high-damage, unlimited-range detonator with a faster, medium-damage one with bonus to 'splosions; and replace his grenades with a projectile power that has an Expose evolution.

In other words, everything is different

Ditto the Geth Soldier. We haven't seen Hunter Mode mixed with a defensive power, and we haven't seen melee Geth supported in this way at all before. We haven't seen Flamer on anything but a Vorcha, and taking it out of the context of Bloodlust completely changes its tactical uses and properties. We also haven't seen Flamer on a chassis that can really ramp up its damage the way the Geth Soldier will be able to. 

You seem stuck on the idea of new powers, without understanding that old powers in new combinations are, if not just as good, then the next best thing. (I still want to see an Infiltrator with Concussive Shot, for instance...)

Boring for you, to me a Krogan with barrier, warp and shockwave is amazing, and yesterday all the Shamans that I played with was doing a excellent job. So far, every character they did for MP found their public. Try creating a thread saying that a char s*ck, there will be aways someone defending it, probably with a gold solo video.

I was actually thinking the same build, but with the Shield Recharge evo in Rank 5 of Fortification instead of the melee damage bonus, giving a total of 45% shield recharge delay without any gear.
