Why you put rank 6 in Energy drain? Phasic rounds defeats shield gate... you don't need to fully strip their shields. Then you can take rank 4 fitness Image IPB

 

Honestly I don't need fitness on this guy (especially against Geth). Also, since none of the other amps are useful on him, I take CM IV. So why not max out ED.


Because you're just racking up overkill damage on mooks.

If an enemy has 2000 total HP between health and shields, and your gun does 1700 damage regardless... why does it matter if Energy Drain does 400 damage or 500 damage... you only need 300. You're literally getting zero benefit out of it... while rank 4 fitness isn't much more ultimately.. something is better than nothing IMO.

The only benefit rank 6 Energy Drain gives you is more damage done to bosses... and those should be proxy mined anyway.

OP, geth hunters are bugged. They can fire while staggered or in stasis etc.. For now you really need to just get used to it because it doesn't seem like Bioware has any plans on fixing it.

One of the devs said that and the stasis crap was due to their GPS being a charge weapon... and the weapon discharges regardless after a certain period of time. It's still cheap as crap... their finger should be frozen with the trigger depressed.

They seem consistent in their bugginess, if so.  I like the challenge of geth on gold, especially on tough maps like Vancouver and London.   We've been playing steady for a few weeks now, and still a full extraction feels like a good accomplishment.  And when we best the hunters...even better.

Geth hunters are my arch nemeses. I often don't see them until it's too late and against my Shadow, they're devastating.

They're right up there with Phantoms and Collector Captains imo.

What map were you doing this on? I tried Vancouver with pretty much the same setup, got curbstomped by Primes on wave 9.

Ghost. I got to wave 8 on my first effort. Made some stupid mistakes (didn't run away enough).

The SI is really good against geth. You can proxy mine hunters and get DR with ED (unless it's broken, but last time I played it, it seemed to work).

And 3 points in fitness is enough on an sniper infiltrator, especially the SI who can replenish his shields at will (almost). Plus, the difference between 3 and 4 points in fitness is negligible. 625/750 vs 700/840, a total of 165 hp for 4 points is not enough IMO.

it makes sense that they shoot when staggered since they would let go of the trigger but shooting whilst in stasis is a bug

Without regards to the rest of what's going on here, YES. With regards, well shield gate and blah blah blah.

In this game it's all about maximizing continuous DPS while minimizing wasted damage.

Yes it makes sense that they shoot when staggered, but it doesn't mean they have to hit me, since their shotgun is facing the floor :-p

As small as it is, this difference in health/shields can be crucial in case a surprise Hunter sneaks up on me. I always take that 4th point in fitness instead of the 6th in energy drain for what it worth. ED staggers just fine with 5 points.

@HolyAvenger: I might try Dagger next time, if not for dire shortage of sniper amps.

They dodge, are fairly quick for geth and can shoot you with their shotgun even when stunned/staggered.

They can shoot you with their shotgun while frozen/dead. It also ignores shield gate, like any shotgun.

I chose 4 points when I'm running a claymore infiltrator (I think I prefer the SI as a shotgun infiltrator than a sniper infiltrator). On big maps, 3 points should be enough though.

BTW, I failed miserably on wave 8 on Ghost. I don't find the rythm when I solo on it.
