I'm curious, why do you think that?  

In order to use flamer you need to be close to enemies.  You're often in the line of fire using it.  You can't see the enemies in front of you although they can straight up shoot you dead.  Shielded enemies won't stagger until you deplete their shields.  In order to apply it's full effect onto bosses, you need to apply it for 5 full seconds during which you have reduced mobility.  I can kill enemies faster with plenty of other methods at less personal risk e.g. Inferno Grenades.

It blocks vision for your team mates; its hard to headshot enemies when someone has your entire screen obscured with flames.

It deals too much damage, so even a poorly skilled player can get an excessively high score for doing nothing other than pressing one button and waving their cross hair in the general direction of the enemy.

Its range was fine before, they buffed its range so it no longer requires such close proximity to use.

Corner peeking means you should never be exposed to a boss enemy's fire for long, also people try and use their team mates as decoys.

For an ability of its power, it has too short a cooldown, and the fact that you can cancel it mid cast contributes to this, making your point about being exposed to enemy fire rather immaterial; when you can just switch it off and dodge out the way.

Half the stuff in your response has nothing to do with your original assertion.

Needing to corner peak is in fact a limitation to how fast I can kill things.  I need to be in proximity to them and be behind a corner.  It's a situation which takes time to set up.  If I use a Harrier I can kill them from across the map from around a corner.  With inferno grenades, I can kill enemies from about as far as I can throw (easily twice the range of Flamer) just as fast, and with even less effort.

Also, plenty of the weapons in this game require little to no aim to use in the first place, and there are about a dozen powers that make lining up headshots easy for the ones that do.  This is not a game which requires 'skill' in the FPS sense of 360 no-scope uber headshotting skills.  The skills this game requires are situational awareness, and the ability to create effective builds.

Really pretty amazing! Excellent video, I learned a lot. Kudos.

[NoReapers]

And: Thank you!
I just soloed my first silver match on Giant against Reapers using:
Geth Soldier: 6/6/5/3/6 (had already invested in HM)
Acolyte X ExtMag + HCBar (don't have the new barrel at V)
Stronghold Package V, no other equipment (just wanted to give it a try)
Had to use one medi-gel, because I became reckless on wave 10.

And now I feel like a boss and have some hope to get my Lone Wolf Banner someday.


Edit:
I especially benefitted from your explanation of the map and how to handle
certain enemies I think. But those hunters on platinum really make me worry.

This part just applies all too well to harrier and reagar infiltrators too...

For real. ME3 isn't a really high skill cap game. A lot of what makes people good is just applying experience. The most skill involved in the game is having good aim particularly when it comes to being able to easily get headshots like that Jay guy.

Good video though. You're lucky you didn't get the Wave 10 center hack. That's hell lol.

Sorry for the yawning I was tired lol.

Bump so more people who struggle with plat solo can see this.

Thanks 4 all the support guys

[DrFace007]

nice. you can also cancel flamer without y, just side step while flaming and it auto cancels.

Very useful video. Am surprised by how many people were thrown by your yawning. Really? Thicker skins or more patience or something, jeezy creezy. Played the Geth Soldier once when I got it, put it down without much interest in it. Will have to try this, as I want to get Lone Wolf banner with a Platinum Solo, then 1 Gold Solo to finish it off. 

Thanks for the work you put in to make it. 

[shadowkinz]

sign my mousepad... oh wait i don't use one..

here just sign my breasts (i am a dude, hope u don't mind)

[Grinch57]

OP,

You've got "bunny hop" dodge that the Geth do, down pat. I need to practice that, get it semi-close to what you do. For me, it is still hit or miss to dodge the Banshee's big ol' ball of snot. Pointing out where the warp ball bends, will try to get the timing down based on that cue, thanks.

Your techniques are great for solo at any level. Unlike you, I struggle with Phantoms. I have a lot of work to do before I can even come close to how well you handle them. I think that is a huge part of your success. As you kept saying, the rest of it was "easy mode." Well, maybe not easy mode, but in the realm of doable for me.

Thanks, from all of us trying to be better players.

[Locutus_of_BORG]

Geth Trooper is so great.

Great video dude! :>

Reegar carbine is the epitome of an ez mode noob cannon.

This exchange is over.

If you need to use a weapon which require no aim and does stupidly high damage then I don't think I need to discuss anything further, I consider myself above reegar carbine users.

Call me arrogant, but I don't play things which I deem too powerful and don't require sufficient skill. GS flamer build when compared to a weapons platform build requires much less skill.

Though, I also play melee fury, so aye.

The voiceover was hilarious because of that, lol. You should do a vid with Jumpin and maybe INVADERONE and just talk random shiz


Great tips in this vid though

lol.  I don't need to use a Reegar carbine or any easy mode weapon to succeed in gold.  I don't expect you to believe me, but frankly I don't care.

I would also never criticise you for not playing builds that you find cheap or distasteful.  I only disagree with the assertion that GS flamer build is a win button (I also disagree about tactical cloak, but whatever.)

Play what you want, I'll do the same.

Problem is you start off a vid by yawning and it just makes the person recording the video seem disinterested in what they are trying to show. So not sure what growing thicker skin or more patience has to do with it. 

As I said after that part the video was good, and kind of stoked to try a solo platnium some day.

It's cool dude. Hopefully you make more vids, just sans that part. 

[PsychoticBiotic]

I just tried it, but got stabbed near the end of wave 9. My fault for not being more vigilant. Other than that mistake, I only died once. It's very easy to learn. Thanks for the build. I'm going to try it again.

[drmoose00]

i haven't tired solo plat, but this is exactly the build i use (no HM makes this guy solid as a rock). reach with flamer and you can stay out of harms way and melt anything with armor fast.

When the PUG team looks weak I switch to him in gold and extract pretty muchevery time with 130-150k. No cyc mod necessary. Acolyte with Cryo (especially since I have 120+ III/IV), Shield booster V and that is it.

[DeadPool222]

Damn you make it look easier than it is. I'm impressed by your situational awareness. It's extreme. Thanks for the video

I play with INVADERONE all the time. We did 2 platinum duos together, as for jumpin well, never played with him even though he knows about me. Lets just say my soloing doesn't always rub people the right way..
