For all squad who can have damping, I give them one point just so they can have it. Another stun type power? Yes please, especially against Varron in the base game and Bring Down the Sky.

The description says that it deals a three second stun to most creatures, makes enemy biotic and tech cooldown longer, and disables any positive biotic and tech affecting them. The only power I've seen used that I would like damping to snuff out is Immunity, but unfortunately that is a soldier power. Must be some sort of painkiller. And I've never had reason to believe that any hostile enemy was using awesome Marksman and similar powers that increase rate of fire. If they did then I would have good reason to pour points into damping.

I've seen a post that said 'some people swear by it' so maybe it has a good use in situations that I'm not aware of, or that it has something to exploit like a silent effect. I think Garrus can use it twice in a row because he has Adrenaline Boost to reset all his cooldowns. So he has two mini throws that can work on both organic and synthetic. Or is Damping just what I suspect it to be, which is a one point wonder?

Against mini-bosses like the therum krogan damping should be advanced to work against him. Also good against asari commandos, geth hoppers and biotic terrorists. Oh, and batarian engineers and geth primes.

Unlike tonnactus, I never found Damping useful. Damping is supposed to prevent enemies from using Tech and Biotics for a short while, as well as stun some enemies for a very short duration. I think I have seen it stun enemies once, when I threw damping on some husks.

Other than that, every time I have damped a biotic, they always seem to hit me with a biotic anyway. I know Damping will increase the radius of tech powers (Overload and Sabotage) but again I never found that particularly useful. I know others have had better experiences with it than I have but I usually do not bother with the power.

I love Damping. Maybe it's because I tend to play tech type classes (Engineer, Infiltrator, Sentinel). I admit though, not sure why I get such great effect....but I do. Maybe it has to do with the fact I use grenades, or that I am prone to taking certain squadmates with me (combo effects, perhaps). And yes; have had great success using it against the Krogan Battlemaster on Therum, as @tonnactus stated.

2 points max, any more would be a waste.
