You should be able to detonate your Tech Armor, Barrier, Etc when being insta-grabbed.

What they really need to do is make instant-kills only possible if you don't have have any shield/barrier left. Then at least it wouldn't be so cheap.

The detonations are all so weak that you wouldn't get free anyway.

This, unfortunately, still means people get grabbed / insta-killed RIGHT after they get revived by a teammate.
.. heheh.

You can detonate TA, you're just on cooldown for the most part helplessly mashing the power button.
I have never been able to detonate TA once the Banshee has me and I have tried.
She can be staggered before she grabs but once you are grabbed you are dead.(unless a teamate saves you)

The cooldown needs to be on ACTIVATION, and not upon detonation.

Unless I'm completely insane, or there were a series of weird coincidences at work here, I'm positive it was the TA burst that caused the interrupt all three times.

I've broken from an instant kill by a banshee twice and a phantom once by detonating TA during the little cutscene. The only time it hasn't worked was against a phantom, and it was because my cooldown was up. I've heard it works with barrier too.

I have heard other people say this as well but I cannot replicate it myself.
Maybe its the timing but once Im grabbed I can do nothing at all.
TA detonation will stagger a banshee(briefly)but Ive never been able to do it when I was the intended victim.

Well...that, or perhaps a trick to personally avoid it. It can become annoying when an "insta-kill" happens, and you're 4-5 feet away from a Banshee...and then it'll use 'Biotic Programmed Pull' and take you out.

Well, perhaps because they do so little damage, it can be justified having them stagger all opponents caught in the blast?
I like the idea of this - it would make tech armor, foritfication and blade armor a lot more usefull on higher difficulties (apart from the damage protection, which i think is most welcome, albeit it does come at a high cost).

Only the final evolution of tech
armor should allow for a one hit kill escape detonation. It would make
an otherwise useless skill tree extremely good and worth the investment.
Tech Armor isn't worthless. Grab the recharge upgrade at rank 6 and it's 30% DR for just 30% cooldown increase. That's very reasonable. Also, it's not a flat modifier. It's just part of the normal cooldown bonus, so it's like carrying weapons that leave you with -170% cooldown instead of -200%.

I like insta grabs, punishes people for playing sloppy. They just shouldn't happen unless you are seriously lagged.
So we should punish people for ever playing any Vanguard or Batarian class, right?

Its not sloppy when it lags/glitches and you are insta-killed from 20-30 feet away
