If you are worried about Phantoms, just use the Wraith, GPS or Hurricane with a Power Efficiency Amp III. Then you'll have a Phantom slaying weapon with great cooldown times on warp/throw.

The Wraith and Talon at high levels are light enough to not even require a power efficiency module.

But the Eviscerator X works really well also because it synergizes well with TA explosions, and makes quick work of staggered enemies. (It also gives you a 200% CD bonus)

Stasis is massively overrated. Maybe it has something to do with obsessions with Stasis leet headshotting, idk. It's extremely handy against Phantoms, but then again, anything that staggers is also quite murderous to those buggers. Tech Armor, especially the explosion, is severely underrated on the other hand. It was already good before the buff, but even more now. Tons of more survivability, with both the damage reduction and low cooldown AoE stagger. Not to mention it does decent damage as well. The 30% power damage increase helps offset the negligible speed difference in biotic exploding, but arguably that is more beneficial for classes that can't combo alone.

Neither of the classes outclass the other. They didn't before and they don't now.

No, I think not. The moment Bioware made a target in stasis vulnerable and gave Asari the biotic "electric slide" they became the best CC and most agile class in MP. Period.

Drellguard holds the title of most agile class, actually.

I agree with every single point in this post.

I play Mass Effect MP because I want to play as aliens. Tech Armor could give full immunity and I'd still prefer the asari adept over a human sentinel. 

Besides, after getting used to running around on gold with glass cannons, I don't really even need damage reduction anymore (at least while hosting).

Stasis is the most overrated power in the game. I'm not sure i'd ever find a reason to take more than 3 ranks in it on the AA. BEs are the most efficent crowd control on an AA and if you are casting stasis you are creating BEs slower or not at all.

You won't be triggering biotic explosions with two hunters in your face. The bubble is useful as a trap for cloaked hunters and phantoms, and it is also useful when reviving teammates as well.

Besides even if you don't ever cast stasis, taking the bonus power evolution at rank 5 will increase your BE casting efficiency.

I've been running with 3 points in stasis on the vanguard, because the recent buffs to lift grenade are actually very potent. I would still keep the bubble on the adept.

Yes. My above post is completely subjective. I admit it.

You lie - tech armour can give you a boost to power damage!

Oh - and I've seen people detonate tech armour and escape banshee grabs.

Tech armor can be spammed fully from cover, your character doesn't lift it's head out of cover like it would with casting justicar bubble for example, and the CD is like 2 seconds, it staggers enemies, it is pretty great against phantoms also.

That's right

If you know how to play, you will see that from the begining all the classes and characters were equally Good, you just need to learn how to use them. Besides, if enything fails "MISSILES!"
Also, if you suck at powers, just get 2 heavy weapons on, you cant fail!

[Atheosis]

To answer the OP's question, it's probably better against Reapers, and about equal against Geth, but there is no way it's better against Cerberus.

[teknik1200]

hmmm.... I like my HS, but I simply spec'd out tech armor. not sure if I'll spec it back in.

Also, OP, I'm not sure why engineers are deserving of a stasis bubble unless it's to stop them from popping a turret.

The only thing in the game worth wasting the long stasis cool down are phantoms.

If everything was equally good from the beginning, then Tech Armor is overpowered now.

Saying stasis is overrated is overrated.

Asari > HS

[Star fury]

AA is miles better against Cerberus. Also you can use stasis against most dangerous enemies from Reapers and Geth - Marauders and Hunters. Roll is better even if drains barrier. End of line.

Stasis is the best CC power in the game for all enemies that are affected by it. Casting a bubble in a group will CC 2-5 enemies for 10 seconds. It is also insta-cast (therefore never misses b/c enemies can't dodge it) making it the perfect "oh crap" button. BEs are overrated, they are great when you can hit multiple enemies but suck against single targets. One BE cannot kill a weak Nemesis (assuming you manage to detonate them that is) on gold. Also good luck blowing up Phantoms with Warp-Throw.

Stasis doesn't have a long cooldown if you are using a Carnifex X.

Good point from  person who uses HS in a game. But people will say that they kill phantoms with detonating TA.

Wait, the rank 5 Stasis evolution works for all the AA's powers, not just Stasis?  I didn't know that.
