AIU is/was super over-rated.
Her shotgun damage bonus doesn't even work offhost.
And despite that, someone's humble opinion got it nerfed so hard.
Now, the stimpacks are categorically superior to the repair matrix and there is not much reason to chose the AIU over ghost or GI.

No. It works fine on-host, and off host all you have to do is shoot first, then cast SF - which by the way can detonate explosions. Don't even try 'the explosion is centered on her' because if you're not right in the enemies face with her in the first place I don't know what you're doing.Not being as tanky as the possibly the tankiest kit in the game doesn't change the fact she has a 30% DR and can regen shields under cloak - not to mention RM supposedly restores shield gate, which based on my experience is true. But the TGI can't keep up with her speed, not even close. [edit] Also, let's not ignore how much speed increases survivability. Drell with all their squishiness survive on speed alone...she has Drellspeed plus DR _and_ shield regen.
If you actually do the math a TGI does approximately 10,000+ damage in the 2.5 of TC weapon damage boost. With a Piranha the AIU can do 13,000+.
If you can't understand the innate value of a kit that is incredibly strong in a DPS, speed, and survivability I don't know what to say to you. No other kit combines that kind of ability into one platform.

GI, yes he kills faster than every other class but not THAT much faster.
it's okay, RJ. you may have been directly and solely responsible for the AIU nerf, but we all still want to have a drink with you <3RedJohn wrote...

lol, you really think that AIU was nerfed because I made a thread about it?
Because that doesn't make sense

SI.
Ugly, relies on a stagger power to land headshots and is out classed in every way by the GI.

Are you assuming the Human Soldier doesn't have another source of damage, because it sounds like it?lightswitch wrote...
Oh, and also, by the time the Human Soldier gets off the third Claymore shot (one unboosted, two boosted) he'll have done around 11,000 damage, but the AIU will have already gotten off two shots and done around 12000 damage.
No one is going to beat her with a Claymore. That fact alone would be enough to make her a contender for best kit in the game...

I never said she wasn't good. I think she is a top tier character but no where near as good as the majority of this message board made her out to be. She is not gamebreaking and never was ahead of the GI or TGI. I still stand by my point that she is not tanky. You can't rush into hoards of enemies and just absorb damage like you can when the tanky characters such as TGI, Batarian Van, and Kroguard etc.
I'm also glad a bug that affects 75% of the player base isn't significant in your eyes. Having to shoot then cast your power to get full damage from cloak is huge you lose debuff and takes time out of you cloak damage window. It something no other inf has to do.
We need to go back to the original question. Which is she overrated? I say yes.
Is she a strong powerful character? I also say yes
Both of these can be true

AIU. She´s just like every other kit, only BSN made it look like she was born in hell.
