 I hadn't used the Spikethrower in a while and decided to use it on a GE against Collectors Gold, it really is a lovely weapon, with hunter mode in particular you can get perfect headshot across the map, it staggers, is good against armour and has almost unreal synergy with incendiary ammo. I think I might use it more often now. The only issues it has are 1. you have to host and 2. you usually need something against Guardians though with hunter mode mail slotting might be easier. 

This is incorrect. As a projectile weapon, not only is it bad against armor, armor piercing mods and ammo also have no effect. There are things to like about it: good range and damage, but a Wraith with high velocity barrel and smart choke does the same for me, without the impotence against armor. 

Graal Spike Thrower bypasses armor damage reduction.  Care to explain how it is bad against armor?

I'm not saying it is better than the Wraith, but if you're going to correct someone at least make sure you have it right.

The other great shotguns don't suffer from lag or shield penetration minus the GPS.  And seeing how shotguns (in general) seem to have the least amount of crap weapons in its category, the Graal's drawbacks are intensified because of it.

I actually use it a lot. Sometimes off host (most times by accident). It's great at headshotting and it's got great range as well.

Personally use it as an Ombi-Blade platform on melee-classes, where I'll rarely shoot anyway. For the little pew-pew I'll do with those it suffices just fine as even a long-range solution and I do well enough on gold without further consumables other than gear.

Host dependency isn't a good enough reason?

[mpompeo27]

No other reason. Just host dependency.

I used it plenty in SP, hardly touched it in MP. Just doesn't translate over well, IMO.

Using the Wiki as reference is wrong.

It says "Rare krogan shotgun". It doesn't matter if it's designed by humans, if it's "only used by krogan", it is considered a krogan shotgun. You could say it was a human shotgun, but what other human in ME2 used it save for Shepard?
