i dont get what your talking about with stasis. stasis works in the exact same way for any class. adding stasis to an adept allows the adept to become more effective at CCing , but it does the same thing for an infiltrator or a soldier as well.
concentrating on taking out enemy protections isnt playing an adept. you cant play an adept with style because you cant combo your powers, you cant use abilities on protected enemies, and global cooldowns means i really dont need slam, throw or shockwave, when i can simply use pull. most of the abilites the adept starts out wiht are crap on insanity, its too bad adepts cant be something along the lines of a class that has singularity, warp, warp ammo, pull, stasis, barrier and dominate. becasue to me, thatd be an acceptable adept on insanity. but the way the adepts abilites are already locked in other then 1 bonus power, really takes away from the point of being a biotic specialist, atleast in my opinion.
Adept, especialy on insanity have a big problem that other classe don't have.
Because :
1) most of his power set doesn't work on new fresh ennemy
2) if he get in trouble, since none of his power is granted to work on the mennace, it can be a pain.
Vanguard / infiltrator / engineer don't care about the insanity difficulty, because tactical cloak, charge, drone will work the same as a defence.
This is why stasis can help more adept than it can help other.
Because adept have no defence against ennemy with defence, stasis can save his ass.
For exemple, if i choose stasis for my infiltrator, an ennemy is getting near me and can kill me, i can
1) tactical cloak and go way with no stress
2) use stasis in order to find a better place to cover from this guy
3) one shot him in the head with the widow (my favorit lol) because.... this 39 kilo rifle is not only for show
So, even if i don't take stasis, i still have options to avoid danger.
With adept, you can defend yourself only against enemy without defence, wich is why it is important to focus on striping defence in the first place or at best, you interup them for 0.5 second but it won't save you usualy.
Ennemy with no defence in the battle field is as dangerous as small kitten for the adept.
This where you don't need to spam:
Here is usualy how i use my power:
1) i often have an active singularity on the field (well placed), it takes out ennemy from their cover like vacume
i also use singularity to interupt some ennemy with defence up, like Ymir mech firing, colector beam etc
2) i use throw when someone is getting near, the cd is really sort, especialy if i won't deal with him just now
3) i use pull for a specific ennemy that i want to take out of his cover while my singularity is active elsewhere (singularity can last a long time, that's why i don't need to spam it)
4) i use shockwave (rarely) when wide singularity can't reach them, or when i'm pissed off and just want to make the ennemy fly like trash.
I rarely use warp bomb, because it kill too quicly, but i use heavy warp to strip ennemy defence, even shield, so i use a heavy pistol very often (even against a shield, the phalanx is good, 3/4 shot is enough even without warp before).
Sometimes i also use throw after i pulled an ennemy with pull or singularity, because it's fun and deal some good damage.
As a sub power, since i was used to play in insanity without stasis, i choose biotic shield instead of warp ammo.
I lost some fire power but i gain much more time firing and less about being cover waiting for my shiel to regenerate, so in the end, i'm more satisfied.
So, i don't play by spaming warp and singularity, BUT i play my adept the ways it was mean to be in the first time, forcing ennemy without defence to uncover and become armless.
And the quickest way to take off their defences is the good use of your weapon, i could use only warp.... but me don't like spaming.
im not trying to convince you ME2s gameplay is wrong and stupid. im trying to convey that not everyone apreciates the changes made to ME2.
When it come to taste, it can't be argued, it's your right to prefer something over something else and everybody should respect it (especialy when said in this manner).
