 okay so we have a Pyro in our hands.  how will you build him?

Flamer
Fortification
Hunter Mode


imo, there's no reason to go Flamer/Fortification because this would be a less efficient Vorcha Soldier, right? nope - i'm wrong.  there's a damage bonus in Fortification so he'd be a little more powerful.
what about skipping Fortification all together and going Hunter Mode/Flamer to melt faces?

orrr
Hunter Mode/Fortification and equip a shotty and blast faces.  it has been agreed upon that this is basically a Destroyer.  any additional thoughts???
maybe go for all 3 main powers and no fitness? builds for this guy are going to be interesting to say the least.  he seems to be very versatile.


EDIT:
OP edited to reflect ideas of others and them bringing things to my attention
most peole are agreeing that a 6/6/6/5/3 build is the most effective.  Fortification for Durability and Power Synergy. Flamer for Reach and Damage. Hunter Mode for Power Damage, Speed & Vision.  Passives for more Power Damage.  i will post a correct build of this as soon as i get home and see his power tree.

thanks everyone for all of your thoughts/suggestions on this 

EDIT: after playing with this kit, this is what i'm liking so far

Flamer: Reach, Damage, Armor Damage
Fortification: Durability, Power Synergy, Durability
Hunter Mode: Weapon Accuracy, Power Damage, Speed & Vision
Networked AI: Damage/Capacity, Power Damage
Advanced Hardware: 3 points

Weapon: Wraith VI
Ammo Bonus: Distruptor Rounds III
Weapon Bonus: Shotgun Rail Amp III
Armor Bonus: Shield Power Cells III (or Cyclonic)
Gear Bonus: Stronghold Package V

alternatively, a GPS would not be a bad idea either.
also when you get comfortable with his survivability (or lack thereof) you could swap in Fortification Evo 4 Melee and Hunter Mode Evo 6 Damage. this would be what i'd call an ALL offensive guy.

arguably the most fun kit in the game.  there's no right or wrong way to play him, or any of the other kits for that matter.  build him how you choose to have fun! 

EDIT: the above works amazing on Silver but if you don't know how to survive with a Glass Flamer, you will go down a LOT on Gold.  i've re-spec'd with 6/6/5/5/4 for more survivability and was able to get through a Gold.  i'm going to try a Harrier now instead of a shotgun and hope for better results.

My intention was to run him at 6/6/6/4/4.

[LiarasShield]

If you want to maximize the damage of your flamer, I assume this is the way to go.

i hope narida gets updated soon.  this sounds plausible as well.  melt faces with Flamer and destroy everything left with a shotty.

Your intention is to die on Platinum.

Kidding.

I predict that every one and their dog will make their character yellowy orange and play against the geth.

maybe go for all 3 and no fitness? builds for this guy are going to be interesting to say the least.  he seems to be very versatile.

Multiple threads about this already, actually, but here's the gist of my thinking:

1) The Geth Hunter's Flamer will be massively more damaging than the Vorcha's. There is indeed a very powerful Fortification + Flamer build.

2) Skipping Flamer entirely and going with heavy weapons gives you a Destroyer with worse damage bonuses and durability, but with wallhack and a dodge.

3) The GT will be a very powerful melee character with 6 Fortification/6 Advanced Hardware.

[Riot Inducer]

Seems there's a few ways you could go with him. Go full flamer w/max power bonuses and burn ALL THE THINGS! Go full purge fortification+melee damage and become a walking arc grenade. Skip out on flamer and go full on hunter mode/fort tanky soldier with your choice of heavy weaponry.

Shield Recharge or Power Synergy on Fortification? :I

[LiarasShield]

Going shield recharge ^^

really? my apologies.  stuff disappears from the front page very very quickly.
i totally forgot about Evo 5 Power Synergy of Fortification.  oh yes.  yesssssss.  i see your point here in regards to a Weapon heavy guy.  okay, so switch gears to Powers/Melee.  this sounds like the better way to everyone?

a full power damage build on this guy should be insane, esp with power amps gear. just going to have to position yourself in the right place to not take damage from enemies from the side while burning things.

[befrezzy]

Still waiting to unlock it,but a 6/6/6/5/3 with Cyclonic modulator is my way to go.

[DJ Airsurfer]

Oh, it's Shield Recharge rate, not Recharge Delay... Power Synergy it is.

I have 2 ideas to start.

1) no fitness
2) no hunter mode

option 1 will be max damage but so squishy
option 2 will be high shields but less damage

i was thinking power synergy.  you'll have a more squishy guy but maybe the power damage bonus will make up for it? lol

[yurksaa]

Just got mine. Finally got something good on the character release day. And a Harrier 7. Whomad?

[SOMETHING_FOR_NOTHING]

I am going to spec him as a full soldier so no flamer just to see how he lines up against everyone else then try the pure flamer spec.

[Yul B]

What is the base shield and health and what do they max out at?

[ExaApocalypse7]

I using 6/5/6/5/4 works like a charm
