Been playing more and more with the Geth Trooper these days instead of the Destroyer due to the extra perks of Hunter Mode over Devastator Mode (20% Speed bonus & maxed Hunter Mode vision range) and well, being able to doge is great too. Also been using Flamer on him more. Usually if a see a nearby enough enemy or enemies, I'll quickly use a Flamer burst only to set them on fire them just proceed to fire until dead or until I need to use Flamer as a reload cancel (if I need to reload cancel with no enemy in sight, I very quickly double tap flamer so it don't even set it off).

 

Anyways, as I've been using this power, and since I play my Geth Trooper always as a weapon platform focus instead of a boring Flamer focus, I've been thinking maybe Flamer on him would be better with that Shield evolution to better help me out with shields since I never run Phasic or Disrupter ammo on him, always Incindiary or Armour ammo (usually armour cause Typhoon is my fave on him, otherwise incendiary glitching I cool enough to make up for the less weapon dmg he deals in comparison to Destroyer) . Plus I only use Flamer at the very start then only rely on my weapons to do rest. That and my weapons seems to melt armour faster then shields. Something I've been noticing more and more. And another reason why Disciple/I am Becky may be right in Disrupter being the best ammo?

 

But first I want to ask here to see what other think?

If you're using disruptor ammo then I don't see much point in taking the shield Evo. The typhoon also has a bonus against shields so taking them down shouldn't be difficult.

I'd rather spec out of flamer altogether if I'm using the typhoon, and go more tanky.

Edit: I misread part of that, but yes, I would go disrupter ammo.

I remember reading one thread on the old BSN discussing about taking the shield dmg evo, I can't find the thread now, though I guess it might be useful when playing Silver or against Gold Cerberus, since there are lots of shielded mooks, but I can't say that's effective in general on Gold/Platinum, without armor dmg evo it'll be a pain to deal with so many bosses.

Always better to go with what a power does best IMHO. Flamer melts armor and already has inherent bonuses against it. Shields evo would probably make more sense on a Vorcha Soldier if you wanted to go that route. 

 

Disruptor is awesome.

I might, or might not, have been a supporter of shield damage on flamer. Maybe. But even if that was true, it would have been eons ago, when I still was a l2play/goback2bronze kind of noob And even if true, anyone who remembered that thread would be... Ancient

Flamer really shines on him when reload hiding. I like the Javelin on him.. Scorpion backup.

What you're saying about the Shield evo makes sense.. because you often open up your attack with Flamer, especially if using a ramp up weapon like the Typhoon. However.. I'm of the mindset that it's better to maximize strengths than to cover weaknesses. Therefore.. I take the armor evo always, since the strength of Flamer is armor.

[RealKobeBean]

What megabeast said, the shield evo on Flamer is kinda of redundant. I, too, use a Javelin on him, and it works like a charm. The Javelin takes down the shield, and then I reload cancel with Flamer, followed up by another Javelin shot. Rinse and repeat. If you're using a Typhoon, then I'd suggest skipping Flamer altogether. Or go with the Armor evo, since you'll already tear down those shields with your gun.

I typically run melee build on him, and prefer the armor evo of flamer.

 

Mooks die pretty quickly to his heavy melee cycle. Since I use venom+disruptor as the weapon, shields aren't a huge deal for me. I need flamer to deal with bosses' armor and the choice is pretty straight forward for me.

How do you spec him out for that build? I'd like to try it.

Armor evo makes more sense.  All of the enemies with high armor have less hp in shields or barriers, and lower tiered units with shields can be stripped easily with a variety of weapons.

Loool. I'm gonna make it my mission for the day to find said thread, and point out how much of a n00b you are.

[TheNightSlasher]

Max damage and armor damage on flamer

Melee and shield recharge rate on fortification

PRS, power damage and speed on hunter mode

3 ranks in passives (you can skip it and max out fortification for DR, but since I purge the fortified armor for melee boost, I find the DR redundant)

Melee, shield recharge rate, power synergy on fitness

 

Venom X + HCB + omni blade

Disruptor, strength enhancer, shield power cells (or adrenaline - I prefer the power cells) and hydraulic joints.

 

I sometimes take responder or survivor loadout for preset maps like condor/london or other larger maps, or geth. I sometimes take those off-host too.

Hahaha good luck with that!

Why are you using such an OP kit and weapon combo? People like you are ruining the game

I know, I've been doing that a lot lately... could also explain why I all of a sudden getting so bored of this game? ... Also having trouble finding lousy pugs to play with. Everyone has maxed manifest today.  ... BioWare needs to slash the prices again + promote it too. Cause I demand more fresh pug blood.

Very. I was studying it for a while and began laughing when I realised how much I would die if I tried to play like that! But I kinda want to try it.

 

I put my Geth Trooper away in shame a long time ago after landing in a pug on Hydra with TMB and DeadEyeCyclops.  Yes, of course I had an Acolyte too, so I basically hid in a corner and tried not to draw any attention to myself.  It's funny the things the collective BSN experience can do to you sometimes.

Okay good, Mega chimed in, which means SF will take his word as gospel, and I don't actually have to write anything useful.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

...I don't actually have to write anything useful.

 

Are you implying that would be an option?
