As if this wasn't enough, I have also seen people get right up close with a claymore or some other powerful single-shot weapon and headshot them. To correct this obvious imbalance I propose the following minor balance changes to the phantoms:
1. Remove phantom headshot multiplier (similar to banshees/atlases/primes etc.)
2. Increase phantom stagger damage requirement.
3. GIVE THE PHANTOM A PROPER CLOSE-RANGE WEAPON. - The sword doesn't really count because it's part of a different mechanic. I think some sort of close-range direct fire ray weapon (similar in functionality to the Reegar Carbine) would be good.
4. Make the Phantom's cloak better (have them on by default, similar to the geth hunter)
5. MOST IMPORTANT - make phantoms immune to STASIS. This power is not supposed to completely incapacitate high-level enemy units and make them useless, it's for crowd control of little units like the standard troopers.
These changes would force people to keep phantoms at range and make people pay MUCH more attention to their surroundings to make sure no phantoms sneak up on them.

Finally someone said it! Long overdue.
I've rallied this notion mentally for seconds upon seconds with no avail. I also have a few suggestions.
Since Phantoms are supposed to be ninjas, and ninjas are the masters of deception, the Phantoms should have two new power skills:
1. Voice: The Phantom should be able, through voice modulators in their masks, to mimic voices of your squadmates, giving you a false sense of security as you think your "teammate" has your back. Imagine hearing "Nice shot!" right beside you, and then all of a sudden *slash!*
Fool me once...
2. Cloak: The Phantom should also be given a secondary cloak which disguises them as a downed squadmate (as well as using the voice indicator) "Boshtet!" As soon as you rush over to revive and notice there's no prompt for reviving, *stab!* Surprise, B*tch!
This will teach us to always be alert and to keep track of where our teammates actually are at all times, rather than just focusing blindly on the enemy.
Discuss.

Our phantoms have shadow strike, I think the cerb phantoms shuld get it too. Phantoms chargig you from across the map and instakllling you would make cerberus a lot more challenging and interesting.
