Eh?

[AlexMBrennan]

Stop shielded enemies in their tracks?

[Faded_Jeans]

Lock someone down for an easy headshot, for two. But I love singularity, too.

Stasis can be used to freeze targets like phantoms or pyros. When you get stasis bubble it can freeze guardians and force them to drop their shield. Singularity needs to be used on a health bar.

Bubble Stasis has similar AoE, cab grab multiple enemies and be comboed off of just like Singularity. But it has the added advantage of CC both red bar and shielded enemies, plus it's instant so it can't be dodged.

Stasis also creates a stationary sitting duck which is easier for certain classes to take down than a moving rotating duck

Instant also means you can't fire it around corners. Both has their uses.

Not really. Being able to arc around corners *could* be an advantage for Singularity, if Pull didn't exist. Unfortunately, Pull does exist; the only things Singularity could conceivably ever do better than Stasis (exactly one thing: grab enemies behind cover), Pull can do better than Singularity.

So "grabbing something behind cover" is an answer to the OP's question, but your extrapolation that it gives Singularity a meaningful use isn't accurate.

Um, sure it does.

I play an Infiltrator.  Liara's Singularity is frelling awesome.  I don't have Pull, nor do I have any companions who have Pull.  So Singularity is great for ripping enemies up from behind cover (and has a absolutely miniscule recharge time).  Since it lifts enemies, it also increases damage I do to them with Warp Ammo (which is incredible in ME3), making it a beautiful little AOE Crowd Control.

Liara's Stasis is great for freezing enemies (shielded or otherwise) that aren't in cover, and lining up perfect headshots.  But you don't get extra lift damage against them, and if you take Bubble, you lose the extra damage against targets in Stasis.  So it is a bit of a tradeoff that way.

Both are useful in various situations.  Not every Shepard is a Biotic.

Enemies are easier to hit with Stasis. Singularity has them start floating all over the place, which is too hectic to be practical in a full firefight. Stasis just pins em down in place, ready to be taken out.

[Br0th3rGr1mm]

Both have their place. For a player, Singularity does not require the use of your bonus power (and I just LOVE me some Slam or Dark Channel).

[RyanPun1991]

Stasis in ME2 was better ME3 though I actually like singularity because often times you get a ton of grunts rather than one tough enemy, and singularity is good for crowd control.

[Tengolicious]

singularity + warp ammo is awesome, you can do at 75% more damage with warp ammo III to lifted targets.

Liara's Singularity is beside the point. 1) It doesn't arc, and is therefore obviously not the Singularity we're talking about, and saying "Liara's Singularity is instant cast" to rebut an argument that's rebutting the argument that Shep's Singularity is good because it isn't is nonsensical; 2) Everyone agrees that Liara's Singularity is awesome. Adepts use it instead of their own, and take Stasis instead, because Singularity offers nothing Shep can't get better elsewhere.

Like, from Liara. 

Edit: As for Warp Ammo, the +dmg to lifted targets appears to be bugged, so that's no help to poor Singularity either.

Well, it doesn't arc, but it does hit around corners, while bubble stasis doesn't seem to.

And Warp Ammo seems to work for me.  Headshots against floaty targets kill things in one shot that normally I would have to stealth to kill.  So I thought it was working.  Maybe I was just missing something.  Oh well.

As long as we all agree Liara and her Singularity are awesome, I'm ok.

[Rolenka]

Well, the question wasn't rhetorical. Thanks.

[Horacio Zhao]

Stasis can stop shielded enemies and singularity can't, that goes especially to geth hunters, phantoms which are pretty annonying.

[bloodshed17]

Can be used by other classes besides adept. Useful for infiltrator to stop someone in their tracks then pull off a HS.

[godlike13]

I think the real question is what does Singularity do that Stasis bubble doesn't do better.
-Crowd control, check. Reliably controlling even shielded targets
-Biotic Explosions, check. Its Biotic explosions not only do damage, but puts more bad guys in Stasis while its at it.
