The thing is, for classes that can't deal with Phantoms efficiently, they pretty much have to use the Acolyte. Seeing as that what most people mainly use it for, I think that's enough indication that something needs to be done regarding Phantoms.
The Falcon and scorpion are also phantom buster's
Acolyte Nerf, but what about Phantoms?

... I can't think of a single class that needs an acolyte to handle phantoms.

Let's just forget the main reason to why people use the Acolyte.
How about you fix Phantoms instead, biower? Mobile as Dragoons and Nemesi combined, they have a mass accelerator cannon in their palm, they have staggering melees, they don't need to melee you for a sync kill, they can sync kill through staggers, AND TO BOOT -- they have insane DR.
I'm tired of gun nerfs and character nerfs, how about you fix the enemies for once?
They always melee before an instakill. If two players are in a Phantom's close range, she may melee one player, and instakill the other.
I got synced by a Phantom while she was staggered, and no, she hadn't meleed anyone.

It's volus. Why do you think they wear those masks? Because of atmosphere or whatever nonsense they spread? Lies, all lies. They just hide their ugly faces.

Scorpion is unreliable and Falcon can kill your cooldowns. Acolyte is the best choice, light, easy to use, efficient.

Im not saying its not but your making the phantom seem invincible they are not they are actually very easy to kill even on gold heck.... id rather take on a phantom then an atlas though they both are easy to kill. Plus you acting like they are doing away with the acolyte .. im no fan of nerf's .. but there are many way's to kill phantom the geth trooper comes to mind.

Again with this, I'm not going to use a single class to deal with ONE enemy just because BioWare won't fix something that's broken.
Not invincible? Yeah, about that. Try killing a Phantom on gold, on host, with a Carnifex on a Cryo-Havoc efficiently. When you've done that, I'll accept that I'm wrong.

I would love to see how most of the people here quickly deal with multiple phantoms on platinum without a stagger power/weapon or acolyte. Some of the recommendations here only work on paper. Their damage reduction is ridiculous and negates most things.

When using ****ty weapons on a sub-par class while on host, yes.

Just fix the effing on host DR. She shouldn't shrug off a Javelin shot to the head like it was a mosquito bite.
So much this. The phantom is not terribly hard to deal with if someone else is hosting. In a solo game though they can be formidable with her break dancing DR that never stops if you so much as look in their direction. And I don't want to always use an instant-cast class nor have to rely on an acolyte to slow them down. Certain other weapons work well against them but I can only carry so many.

Paladin is better than a carniflex..
Headshot works pretty well!

Pretty sure the OP is trolling. If not then you sir might just be the worst ME3 player! Phantom's are the easiest boss unit in the game since all you have to do to remove all threat from one is drop their barriers.

Not that we have a choice but let's see what happens, it might not be all that bad, I have seen many downward changes which did not have a major impact, yes I have seen a few things destroyed also. We do have other options in weapons as well, and yes I carry this thing as a 2nd often, if a Phantom appears it comes out, otherwise it stays in the holster for the most part.

Yeah, I've had real hit or miss (badum-dum-dum) luck with teh Wraith against these little annoyances.
Sometimes, yeah headshot=headshot, ninja fall down go splat. Cartwheel DR, fine, I get it. Standing perfectly still, no bubble, Wraith to the face, half barriers gone...what the?

I've played MP ever since the demo. The fact that you think Submission Net is bad goes to show how narrow-minded you are.

Those are a few alternatives
So I have to use a select few of classes to deal with ONE enemy? Do you know how dumb that is?
No, but you have to realize that not all kits are capable against every singel type of enemy. If you have problem with Phantoms, let someone else on your team handle them, or equip ammo IV of Warp/Incendiary for starters. Then when you l2p, you could try other ammos. She isn´t hard on any difficulty and on Gold she is just a piece of apple and cinnamon cream pie.
