@cato, just curious, where do the glorious fat turians (namely sentinel and soldier) fall in the average time list?
Just about right in the middle in terms of time, the original Turian Soldier and Turian Sentinel are in 30th and 32nd position respectively.
Here's the full list of kits arranged by average time for anyone who's interested:
Edit: Image quality is kind of crappy for some reason, still legible I hope.
More phoenix adept (All good things begin with a singularity, and end with a smash)

Got triple escort, all of which turned out to be pretty smooth. Build same as before.
I kinda wanted sub-30 and took AC V, and set to Glacier. But I missed my scanner big time as I couldn't smash through walls and wasted quite a bit of time on w7 and w9 running away from phantoms.
This might push the smashdept into top 10, replacing the smashguard, or get him into 11th position.
The Adept moves up to 11th place with that solo. One more quick solo for each kit will get them both into the top ten.....................or you could sabotage one of the top 9 kits with a really slow solo to achieve the same thing

Here's something I always wanted to know but never dared ask. Do the accuracy and rate of fire bonuses that come with HM do anything for the javelin and similar weapons? Accuracy is a measure of the spread of pellets and doesn't apply to single rounds, right? And fire rate with javelin is determined/dominated by reload. Does the fire rate bonus make reloading faster? (Let's assume for argument's sake that reload can't be canceled.) I could swear I've seen someone from here take the other two evos in HM - power recharge and power damage - for a javelin GI, and it made me think about these things. Would power recharge bonus mean something for re-cloaking?

Rate of fire does speed up reload time since you must wait one fire cycle to start reloading on any weapon, including the single shot. So if you shorten the time between shots, you can reduce the total reload time. This effect is why nerfing Krysae rate of fire so much made the reload seem awkward, and is also a source of complaint with the Wraith.
Accuracy is also not usually an issue with the sniper rifles. Every shot will be subject to the appropriate aim error though, it is just that this is pretty small or 0 for the sniper rifles anyway. It might help unzoomed shots a bit.
I have had both accuracy and ROF on all GI sniper solos I have ever done since I don't switch around my build.

As capn mentioned, the fire rate and accuracy bonuses from Hunter Mode only make a very small difference to weapons like the Javelin but I normally choose them anyway as they're greatly beneficial to lots of other weapons and I don't want to change my build every time I change gun. Besides, I'm going to try a GI solo with the Indra at some point, those evos will definitely help out that weapon (and it needs all the help it can get, in my opinion).
Power Recharge would only give you a quicker cooldown if you stayed in Cloak for longer than the minimum duration of 1 second or if you used Proximity Mine without cloaking first - Even then, it's a fairly minor 20% bonus.
So the power recharge + power damage build that I saw was ex-Clusum's, and he explained that the power damage evo means you can OSK husks with the proximity mine, which is useful; otherwise it's just what capn and cato said. Thanks for the replies!
^ wld be usefull to kill those husk fastly

Since in team games I play a lot more Gold, you don't need the power damage from HM to one-shot gold husks if you take Power Damage at rank 5 of Networked AI.
I haven't paid attention to the numbers for Platinum, I know my build doesn't one-shot platinum husks with a PM, but a PM plus melee will do it.

My first plat solo! Woohoo! 
It took around 5 attempts, most of which failed due to devices and/or targets on waves 3 and 6, and the occasional banshee hug. Other than waves 8 and 9, it felt easier than the gold solo I did with this kit for the Neufchatel series and took only 10 minutes more. Probably due to map. I brought the locust to help with guardians, but didn't have trouble killing them with the acolyte. All in all, this was fun, exciting, and not nearly as frustrating as I feared. Cookies for everyone!

Congrats !
Now, if u do another char, i ll have to try too
^Congrats Smehur .
I precise also that I will update the thread in a few days. I haven't recently thanks to my PC and my laptop who have had the good idea to die approximatively at the same time, so last week was a little messy for me. I should be back to a normal situation and update the PHOF before the end of this week.
Originally tried this with the Indra but it didn't go very well so I upgraded to the Black Widow. I've now solo'd against all factions with the GI as well as the Cabal.

Hm, just noticed that in both this and previous build you have the power damage & capacity evo in the passives. Is it a typo (so to speak), or...?

Nope, that's a legacy from playing Gold - You can choose either 4b or 5a in the passives to allow a cloaked Proximity Mine to OSK a Husk on that difficulty. I choose 4b because I'd rather lose 7.5% weapon damage at rank 4 than the 20% headshot bonus at rank 5.
With this effort my Turian Sentinel joins the GI and Cabal as an all faction solo kit. This is the first time I've used incendiary ammo with the Arc Pistol and, even when I didn't cast Warp first, the damage is incredible, I should have tried it sooner.

I made a quite low-quality video for this one. Even at such a quality it still took 2-3 hours to upload because my internet is so slow, so probably won't be doing this too often.

It wasn't as difficult as I thought it might be using just the PPR against Cerberus, picking Giant certainly helped. I've now solo'd all factions with this kit too.

Just too much space magic for one day. Banshee dropped down from balcony in White for immediate synch kill, rocket didn´t do damage which cost last ops pack and gel in wave 10. In addition character hugging a wall and die there in wave 11, double targets run, horrible device in wave 10.
Then there was a brief moment of light with this QMS run. Objectives were escort, devices, escort. Also got 10 WS.

I finally got hunter mode to work on my toaster PC, previously activating hunter mode broke the graphics to the point of making it unplayable, so was glad to get the last hunter mode geth out of the way.
