I decided to dust off this kit having played it sparingly and in reality not playing the kit well-I did die well though!
 
I understand that the kit-when played under optimum conditions and by players far better  than myself can put up 'LOOK AT THAT DAMAGE!!" numbers-alas thats not how I'd like to play him. I felt I did 'ok' coming in 3rd in every match I was in and almost, then  breaking 100k on my gold matches but I'm not one to quantify damage numbers with success, if we extract I'm ok with being last.
 
I played the kit primarily as a support, CC class with the occasional DPS when needed; obviously versus his Evil siblings he shines since he is designed to dominate Geth. I've only played him vs Geth and Reapers so far as I initially selected Geth first to get a hang on the class in Gold over the weekend.

 

I really enjoyed locking down spawn/choke points for the DPS to obliterate them, using the turret to direct agro was fun as well. Being able to see my sneaky cousins, Geth Hunters was fun-I could have sworn my 562,425th cousin XRT341 cursed at me when I popped him and his brother XRS342 from stealth- allowing my teammates to obliterate them. It sounded eerily like a Fax machine/dial up handshake sound but It could have been FUUUU-but I digress...

 

I'm using the GethSMG VII with the Scorpion I for CC/stagger... I also have the GPS and  Geth rifle X but don't like my cool down when I equipt the GPS. I'd like to use the rifle but like the power damage bonus on the SMG, not sure if it makes a huge difference. I like the synergy with Geth weapons and this kit; also aesthetically it looks good-and lets all be honest-looking good works 60% of the time, all the time.

 

How do you all play the kit ?

 

What weapons do you recommend?  When to use Hunter mode? what consumables and gear do you use with him? I used omnicapacitor V and used incinerary ammo then the ammo for electric combos.

[Ribosome]

I mostly just rely on whatever weapon I'm using to hold my city down with a well-placed turret nearby keeping my bars blue. I always switch to GE when there are the all too common flamer users in lobby (or tech teams) so I can get in on those extra crispy tech combos. That and I just squish all of the heads, the wave ends, and the people cheer.

 

build

 

I also like Indra, Talon, Wraith, Harrier, Arc Pistol, Valiant, etc.

I used to use him as a portable shield generator. Then I switched to trying to make the turret offensive, but didn't end up feeling I got much out of it, that way. My current turret is a mix of both.

 

I've used the GPS on him, recently, with Incendiary (to create Fire Explosions using Overload, and take advantage of his Racial Bonus.)

[ClydeInTheShell]

Try him with the Raider and remove that "support" label.

 

You turn Hunter Mode on once the match begins. You never turn it off. I use Incendiary Ammo to set up fire explosions, and deploy the turret often, especially in traffic where it will get destroyed frequently. He's one of the few classes I use Cyclonics on these days because his health is so little, once his shields are gone he's fried in a split second. 

 

With the accuracy bonus from Hunter Mode + Smart Choke, you can shoot heads off with the Raider pretty easily from safe distance. It also gets nastier the closer you get, so don't be afraid to get up close and mix it up if necessary. I was using the Wraith on him but the delay between shots was getting me killed, so I switched to the Raider and it's made a huge difference.

Lately for RP, as I have with most of the character after knocking out all the challenges the first time around. Super fun class, very versatile, as mentioned good support with turret and chain overload. Hardly ever see a pug with one, unless its a bsn pug. I always use one of the geth weapons, it just dependson my mood/host.

 

@ OP if you want to do some tandem runs, send me a message on ps3 and I we can Geth engineer it up together.

 

I usually take the expert package, I use hunter mode all the time, I believe my spec is 6/6/6/4/4 with the weapon passive and fitness. As far as consumables, usually incendiary/disruptor and usually shield recharge cells. I find even with hunter mode, you are not as squishy as you appear with the extra situational awareness, and I am trying to save some adrenaline mods

[cronshaw]

Stick a really good gun on anything with overload and you should crush it

[CrimsonN7]

My favourite engi, nothing support about him.

[Pearl (rip bioware)]

4/6/6/6/4 with Arc Pistol, GPS, GPR, or Saber. Damage barrel and AP rounds on all of them (except GPS, obviously - that gets Incen). Goal is to have 20HS by the end of Wave 4.

Hunter mode: turn it on as soon as you spawn in and never turn it off.

[MaxCrushmore]

I really like him with the CSMG and incendiary ammo .. GE owns against Reapers .. I run him with Expert Package

 

I spec his turret for full healing .. lots of versatility w this

Pretty close to the way I run except with a Incendiary Graal and no fitness full aggro turret. I only use the turret for shield restore if I catch Dot damage from atlas/ravager/banshee. That turret finishes off quite a few enemies and is enough of a menace to draw the attention of the more annoying ones. Fast, precise glass cannon. One vicious toaster.

My favourite engi, nothing support about him.

This too. If I had to choose between engi or geth kits he's the one I'm bringing.

[jamdjedi]

thanks for all the input! if I have some time tonight I'll try GPS on him

[smeckie]

Indra Baby!

[Tokenusername]

There are no support class...or everything is a support class, I forget which. But there's defiantly no inbetween, because support is just a synonym for suck and has no other meaning what so ever.

[megawug]

Support class?  Only character I use the Crusader on!  He's more dangerous than a cop in Texas.

[Wizard of Ox]

Volus are support classes

[Lucky]

Just because a class can give support and is thus a "support class" doesn't mean that is all it can do.

 

The great thing about the GE is you can put a maxed out healing turret up in a safe spot just behind the team and then go to town fighting and you'll be supporting and destroying at the same time 

 

Really, any gun you like will work fine on him. I choose either incendiary or AP ammo depending on whether I are more about the weak FEs or getting max damage when shooting through walls with hunter mode. Wraith, GPS and Lancer are my top three weapons on him and I like speccing him 6/6/6/4/4.

[SilentStep79]

Play him as you wish, but he's FAR more than just a "support" kit...

 

My favorite weapon on GE is the Wraith, but Talon (and Indra) are nice as well. Use hunter mode ALL THE TIME if you're specced into it!   I tend to stack Shotgun Rail Amps with Shotgun Gear bonus...then Incendiary Ammo and Power Amps.

[Shadohz]

Did you seriously just call my Gethy a support class? You're never going to get any help with that attitude mister. *folds arms*

[Wizard of Ox]

Your cool down with the GPS will be just fine. You don't need 200% anyway. Out of the weapons you mentioned, the GPS might be the best choice if you use, as should, a 4/6/6/6/4 as previously explained. I usually go with this build. 

[coldflame]

I play him using 4/6/6/6/4 wih GPR and incendiary. I acutally use shield boost V with him but that's just my play style . As for equipment either adrenaline or cyclonic, depends on the day. GPR was buffed with extra headshot damage bonus a while ago.

[SlimJim0725]

Skip turret, use Paladin or Saber, headshot all the things. Ain't nobody got time fo' support!

[Genghis Johnson]

So many fun ways to build this character ... so very, very many. At the moment I'm messing around with a power damage build -- I do lubs me some fire explosions -- but my favorite build thus far is very close to what Clyde posted upthread. 

[Pearl (rip bioware)]

I find 4 in turret and 4 in fitness to be more useful. Yeah the turret isn't great, but it does distract Phantoms, and the bit of shields it restores when cast helps mitigate DoT.

[TheNightSlasher]

Geth Engineer is an awesome character. He is the best geth character to me because of the different ways in which you can play him - healer, excellent character in tech teams, or as a weapons platform with overload for shield stripping.

 

I use a 5/6/6/6/3 build.

Weapons I prefer - Venom, Arc Pistol, Wraith, CSR, Saber, Indra

It could be, but I typically only play him AFTER a Cerberus game for that reason. (on host)

 

Edit: And I have become pretty decent at dodging DoT attacks, so I don't often have to worry about that. That said, it is still probably better overall to go with your build.
