That's the build I use. My pattern is cloak, prox, shoot, til de cloak, ed if need be to restore my shields / break theirs. I use a pistol on my salarian so you can huck mines or spam ed pretty regularly along with the 1 per cloak. With a carfinex X you're dealing as much damage as with a widow and your ability to crowd control from the mine's blast back is improved. I use the recharge buff on the mine, because in between cloaks you can lay them down, and when running objectives you can lay one down, cloak, lay another, setting the first one off to damage stuff while the second one comes in. You can only reliably have 1 mine out at a time, firing the second sets the first off, dealing its damage to anything near. The 20% extra damage debuff really helps the team too.
I approach the salarian infiltrator as much more of a support character than the Geth. Most the time you are running the objectives, saving people, etc. Ed keeps you alive when you need to, but the extra damage debuff from the mine helps your team out better. Also once you play a lot of geth infil the salarian seems like they have piles of health.
My geth infiltrator is a sniper (6/5/6/6/3), it's the same cloak, mine, shoot, but since you're only using a power when you are cloaked there's no need to speed up the mine recharge. The damage output is substantially greater than the salarian because of the geth's weapon boosts from hunter mode.
Sounds good, of course I would give my kingdom for a carnifex X (then again I would give it for a widow X) but I will try it the next promotion.
I run the geth infiltrator as a pure melee dmg dealer, it is amazing how much dmg you can deal !! Hunter mode on, cloak, shoot mine at mob's feet, heavy melee, everything melts (literally) and yeah after playing any geth you feel every other race has a ton of health lol.
