I just promoted all my characters (I know, I know) b/c I made some...hm...really really dumb questionable decisions on some of my earlier specs, and a lot of the basic characters needed a complete overhaul. I decided that I'd try the weapons platform GT instead of the flamer GT. Maybe not the smartest way to build him, I mean, that's some major armor deeps you're giving up, but still, cooldown-damning weapons platform that's pretty good, imo.
*Disclaimer: the numbers I refer to assume a GPS, numbers will vary if a non-Geth weapon is employed. Also, I'm not arguing the DPS of the GT vs any other builds, I'm just arguing his passive weapon numbers.
This is what I ended up with and I have to say, I am very pleasantly surprised, both with the character and the GPS, which I might have slept on previously. 
Inb4GI, this thing is just nasty. If you run the GPS/Scorpion, then both of your guns stagger, and since you don't have to worry about powers w/ all of his passives, you get a guaranteed 40% weapons dmg increase w/ HM/Networked AI, and you can get 50% if you go 6b instead of 6a in HM (for comparison, the most weapons dmg increase you get w/ BatSol is 25%, Destroyer is 27.5%, TSol is 37.5%). Also, while the GPS can't shoot through cover, it ignores armor's damage reduction so it doesn't need any piercing mods or ammo (though it still benefits from AP ammo) and it's charged shots are ridiculously good.
The biggest increase I could come up w/ using attachments/gear/bonuses was 130% (HCB V, Warp IV, Shotgun Rail Amp III, and Shotgun Amp V) so assuming all my maths are correct, (you never know in this freakin game) that's + 40 from passives (50% with HM 6b), potentially +130 from the other stuff, so a 170-180% dmg increase.
Also, he's still somewhat tanky even using HM, can get to 1150 shields, and if you throw a SPC III on him his shield recharge is down to 1.2 seconds, and given he gets a 20% movement speed increase and won't benefit from anything else save for CM's, which are another good choice, he has one of the fastest recharges in the game (maybe the fastest?).
Also, for lulz, you can get a .6 second shield regen if you spec him like this. You'd have to lose some weapons dmg, but go stand in an Asari bubble and laugh @ your enemies while you pretty much never lose shields 
.
Anyway, feel free to correct anything I've said that's a mistake. If you hate Flamer, don't sleep on the GT, he's better still useful without it.
TL;DR - GT, no Flamer, yes GPS. Less annoy. Many deeps. Such wow. Should use.
Retour en haut
so it needs all the help it can get.
. I like it, I'm sure I'll respec him again @ some point so I'll keep this one handy.
