Don't bother with that many points in Stasis, all you need is rank 4 "strength"

The extra points to be bubble are worth it if you are going to be a stasis user of any regularity.

AA on Plat 

Find catching multiple enemies in the bubble a super-rare occurrence. Also find her quite flimsy (especially because I like playing her at mid-to-short range).

I will play with the bubble build a bit more. Stasis could definitely be more useful/spammable etc.

One thing I will suggest; try using Throw sometimes against small enemies without priming or anything. They might dodge it, which leaves them exposed, and you don't incur the cooldown that stasis can bring. If a Phantom is down to shields, I always use throw over anything else, because it'll knock them to the ground and they'll take a while to get back up. You can also usually stun Dragoons with one throw.

Also, since you're using warp rounds, and their big damage increase will apply primarily to primed targets, consider not detonating sometimes, especially when it's one boss as opposed to a group.

Or don't. I've used her literally once in Platinum. It was against Collectors, though, and it she was still pretty effective.

I do use Throw like that often, just to stagger then shoot. In this game I tried to use Stasis more often to test its utility.

Warp rounds are basically for that time in between casting your primer and casting your detonator. Throw has such a quick CD that I can cast Warp again very fast and again be shooting a primed target with Warp rounds, inflicting extra damage.

I also fail to understand your point about Warp. The Phantom bubble is irrelevant since you'll be using Stasis on her which cannot be dodged / blocked. The only other two enemies with a bubble only use it occasionally and predictably. Besides, a Praetorian bubble will block all powers including DC and Reave anyway.

My point was the AA might not be able to get her large weapon damage boost when she needs it the most, AKA Banshees when they're stationary, and Praetorians when they're bearing down on you and you need to stagger them immediately. It's not an insignificant drawback.

Interesting take on her, but yet another Stasis Sniper build. If I want to snipe, I pack my BW SI of Jav GI, and do it properly. PS- Phasic ammo is wasted on a Kishock as that ignores shieldgate.

As far as I know Phasic rounds do not change the shield gate mechanic, they simply offer the best multiplier of any ammo type.  You use it to get one shot kills because you are basically by definition dealing with shields if going for a OSK.  You get more mileage getting the phasic bonus against shields than, say, AP bonus vs. health, just because it's a higher bonus.  So it's not useless to use them on the harpoon gun - and the fact that, as i said, they are the only ammo that will get you OSK body shots on many platinum infantry types, means they are obviously not useless.  If you despise stasis snipers there's not much i can say i guess, but i feel the harpoon gun justifies it since it is a gun that is primarily balanced by its difficulty in hitting things.  One tangible advantage i can note is consistancy in offing phantoms quickly.  If you consistently HS phantoms on sight, then ya dont worry about the build.  Otherwise, it's worth consideration.

Is this for real???? This might be the greatest day ever for me.

Edit - Just seen it. I missed the fact there were balance changes with all the excitement. Looks like it happened while I was playing yesterday.

Yeah, just seen it. I can't wait to try it out now.

It was reduced but I'd like to still see the old 8 second cooldown. I actually use a vulnerability build so I can 1 shot or near 1 shot phantoms with my executioner.

[HolyAvenger]

They're pretty incremental about this stuff, maybe it'll go back down to 8 in the future.

It was still a beast before hand, now she's almost back to her former glory.

beasting with AA was always easy though
