Anybody tried out a non flamer build?
Just curious what people think about it.

Kinda meh version of the Destroyer that can move faster and wallhack, or a tanky GI that does much less damage.

Not recommended by me, someone else may have something workable.

5/4/5/6/6, using geth pulse rifle and plasma shotgun, power efficiency III and shield booster, works like a charm, barely even need to use weapons

 i honestly think best would be:
Fortification: Durability, Power Synergy, Durability
Flamer: Reach, Damage, Armor
Hunter Mode: Weapon Accuracy, Power Damage, Speed/Vision
Networked AI: Damage/Capacity, Power Damage
Advanced Hardware: 3 points

i think the extra durability on Fortification will be needed versus Weapon Damage bonus but i guess i'll find out soon enough 
then, roll with a Harrier or a powerful shotty (GPS, Wraith, A-12 Raider), stronghold V/engineering kit V, Cyclonic Mod III, weapon amp III (for shotty/rifle), and disruptor ammo III

Yeah this is the exact same build I got also.  Works really well with a Wraith X.  Could be really good with a Reegar Carbine too.

i was thinking fortification 6/ hunter mode 6/ flamer 0 and all passives for weapon damage and all health and shields

Just finished a series of pug platinum games with a pyromaniac geth soldier who was babysitted by an adept volus. The guy just ripped through anything, he finished with scores just shy of 200k with volus having next to nothing but that was clearly worth it, with 20~22mn runs on big maps. The last guy and myself had 80~100k scores despite not being pushovers but he was just wiping things so quickly and nearly not having to go undercover.
I've played vorcha soldier a lot and thought i knew the power of a flamer before that, but he was much better! Maybe he didn't even take the range bonus over the damage one.

Skipped Hunter Mode, took an assault rifle with drill rounds + piercing mod (Working on my assault rifle banner, so was using GPR, would probably use harrier instead), specced flamer for damage + armour, and specced fortification for power damage.

Stomped all over reapers.

that sounded like a great setup. I find the geth trooper's survivability quite limited, but its offensive capabilities are off the scale. I first tried the full damage setup myself, but i found myself getting too close to danger far too often. went with range after i got a reset, but haven't tested it out since i wanted to try getting the event banner first.

I went with 6/6/6/5/3

Flamer: Reach/Damage/Armor damage
Fortification: Damage Reduction/Power Synergy/Damage Reduction
Hunter Mode: Power Recharge/Power Damage/Damage
Passive: Damage & Capacity/Power Damage
Fitness: Only need 3 ranks anyway.

Been running this build all day and I put the omni-capacitors gear on and things bow to the flames. Things die quickly and if you have a teammate who like to detonate fire explosions, then this character is their best friend.

i'm starting to see this more and more now.  might i ask, why Power Recharge in Evo 4 for Hunter Mode? if you deactivate Flamer before it stops, the cooldown is the same.  someone explained that it's like breaking Tac Cloak.

also, glad to see this thread is helping some 

[billpickles]

I feel pretty certain that I'll take 6 in Flamer, 5 in Networked AI, and 4 in Fitness.

Then the question is whether Fortification or Hunter Mode gets a 6 with the other one getting a 5. It really comes down to a question of 10% more Damage Resistance or 10% more Damage Bonus. Kill stuff faster or stay alive better?

[Xaijin]

No hunter mode and maxed melee minus the last fitness unit reveals a super AoE death machine.

Flame the group, purge the armor charge in and vaporize them, pausing ever so briefly to recharge Fortitude by feathering the control.

Nasty.

[Scam_poo]

I built him 6/6/6/5/3. Full damage and armor damage on the Flamer, everything power on Fortification and HM (except I went with damage reduction at rank 6 on forti). All power damage on the passives and 3 points in fitness.

Works great.

It depends on how do you spec your fitness and passive. If you go for force damage and durability then better to take HM6 and Fortification 5. It's only my suggestion, but i think it can work.

[Stabby Badger]

Pretty sure the 4th rank in fitness gives you more effective shields than the 6th rank in fort unless you're using a cyclonic.

[born2beagator]

Took a 6/6/6/4/4 on mine and it owns.

I can play it the same way I play my vorcha: Acolyte to strip shields, then flamer.  its actually almost as durable as the vorcha too

This character is a horrible addition to the game. It entirely obsoletes the Vorcha.  I'm all for new characters being added, but they shouldn't infringe on other characters' skill sets so much.

Is this a joke? He couldnt detonate fire explosions and this alone makes the Vorcha a far better character.(the Soldier and the Sentinel)

Exactly, the fact that he can't detonate fire explosions sux so unless HM gives beastly bonus to flamer I don't really see the point of using GT over one of the vorchas.

Along with the fortification bonus, it does give a beastly bonus.

This new Geth feels like a Geth clone of the Vorcha soldier, but without the health regen and less agile. Kind of disappointed.

Vorcha are slower, cannot see cloaked enemies, enemies hiding in cover/behind walls and smoke, and they can't even come close to the power damage Geth get with Fortification and Hunter Mode. Vorcha do not have an AoE melee attack that gets a 1.5x multiplier vs armor.

If you're not actually using everything in his skillset, then your comparision would be accurate.

Ashen, what's your build so far? 6/6/6/5/3?

I'm going 5/6/6/6/3 the first time around.

Acolyte + Wraith for me, maybe even able to drop the Wraith in the future and go for pure burn.

Fortification: on the fence about DR/Melee... probably will go DR, Power Synergy

HM: Weapon Accuracy, Power Damage, Speed & Vision

Flamer: Damage, Damage, Armor

Passive: Damage & Capacity, Power Damage, Weapon Damage (I still feel weapons will be potentially important for this class)

Fitness: 3 points.

I don't plan on ever going melee with this character, personally

Edit: I can't wait to see how this works with Tech buffers (QFI Sabotage, Paladin Snap Freeze... MUAHAHAHA)

i really like this build.  thank you.  the only thing i may change is Flamer Evo 4 for Reach.  i've found that having Reach helps keep you even more out of harms reach.  i'm going to send this to myself.  def wanna try this one first.
edit: if it becomes apparent that a weapon isn't needed as much as Powers, i may also drop Evo 6 of Networked AI in favor of Evo 6 of Fortification, Durability

Agreed on the passive.  However, since Flamer is situational most of the time, I would imagine needing a good weapon.  Extra DR is never a bad thing either.  It is still a toss up for me on that.  The way I see it right now is that you're not going to be using Flamer in the middle of a map, and HM gives you such good situational awareness that the extra DR might not even be all that necessary.  I guess I'll find out tonight.

Regarding the Flamer's Reach vs Damage, I actually find the distance works fine for me without the Reach evolution, at least on the Vorcha.

Let me know how it works for you.  Maybe you can edify me on a better build before I unlock the character
