Some things can apparently negate this sync kill. I believe using an ops pack at just the right time will let you live on after getting sworded.
Yeah, but when you manage to Ops-pack deny a Phantom sync, you don't lose any shields/barriers or health- you just get stabbed in the belly, then voila! you're alive, standing on your feet again, full health/shields. I'm not sure what that could've been, maybe just lag weirdness...
This worked amazingly for me, thank you. I think I can get used to it. Normally I mostly use Saber on it but the combo everything approach is really tickling my fancy.
That's how I've always played the Gengie- something like Arc Peestol, Durpicane, etc. with Incendiary and FE all the things. Love it.

And as Lawshadow said add in the flamer spec on the turret and you get tech explosion central. It really becomes unfair to the poor opposing schmucks (especially geth) if you have one or two more tech freeze/flame team mates.
I got an invite last weekend, ended up joining an in progress match late wave 1.
There are 3 of us and I'm using a Drell Vanguard .. game was set to Jade / Reaper / Gold. around wave 6, our 3rd started dumping all over the DV, talking about how much he sucked, that his barriers didn't recharge after a BC, and that he was a total liability on anything above Bronze.
What made it funny was he was using a Fury, but I still had x3 his score .. lol
Sometimes I just shake my head
Edit: Oh yeah .. did I mention this player had an N7 rating north of 12K?

The OPs pack gives you a moment of invulnerability, I'm thinking it's 1.5 seconds, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong. So you can OPs pack through a Phantom sync kill because of how quick it is, this doesn't work for the longer sync kill animations...

Exactly. Also works on Brutes, IIRC. But its sort of all-or-nothing- if it works, you're completely invulnerable, so I can't imagine using an Ops Pack to prevent a sync and having it work, but having the Ops Pack NOT prevent the sync from damaging your health/shields. Unless it had to do with lag, I guess.
Off topic: I think my Shadow actually survived a Phantom's synch kill move. I saw a downed team mate, went to revive her (Cabal) and was hit by the phantom animation, but only lost all my barrier and half my health.
I see no need to justify using the GPR, I use it regularly.
For the record, I was using it on the TSent with Warp ammo. Yeah it takes a while to finish off a boss, but it was good fun.
Well on PC I was playing a AHI with a rambo-pug who was getting extremely upset when I would reposition to avoid being overrun on platinum he would shout "why are you running away... stop running away" 
I laughed so hard. I would have given him advice as I would usually do with new players but I figured it would be something he would get sooner or later.
"Are you f-king deaf or something?" Regarding some weapon I was using.
My wife, who can hear, walks up to me and tells me what they were saying.
I can't speak as well as everyone else but then I put on the mic and said "yes I'm deaf.... I have a story to tell you" and read one of my kids stories "green eggs and ham."
"Host left restarting wave"
This is amazing. I can only imagine how mindf*cked that guy must have been. You sir have earned a like.
Had a guy who thought Proximity Mine was a grenade-based power, he was wondering why I wasn't taking Grenade Capacity on my GI. The funny thing is he actually wasn't a bad player, putting up 125k scores in UUP. Not sure how well he would have done without a decent team, though.
"I put on the Saber, man, this thing is like a shotgun!" Sayeth the 3k N7, alt N7 banner Kroguard.
Start > Quit match
Yeah, I'd have left too. Shotgun and Semi-automatic sniper. Same thing...

Me: *sigh*
Playing with 2 Jugs (mmm) and another Krogan on Giant . Jugs were low level everything but were fine as team mates .
Extraction wave me and the Kro bro head up to the sniping room . The Jugs both head to the EZ . I could see all the enemies heading their way. Then the dying starts and I am watching the revive cycle and its still a minute out from extraction.
One of the Jugs cries out "hey we could do with some fu'''''ing help here" .I was tempted to give him a quick lesson on why heading to the EZ so early wasnt a good idea but I had 4 missiles so I decided to enter the fray " OK on my way " Used the 4 missiles in the last 45 secs or so because the Jugs kept trying to melee every boss while surrounded. Didnt stay for another game.
Agree. Juggernauts can't run away and have little cover, plus they attract all the heavy hitters. If they go down, they need something to get the shields up quickly - heavy melee on a close enemy. I had matches where they repeatedly shot the targets I held so conveniently in statis for them... It's not about kill-stealing, but about actively damaging someones gameplay.
Things do happen, but if they occur too often, I can understand that he was annoyed.
Less what they say and more what they do, but the last game I played wherein the TGI with the Avenger X spent 15 minutes trying to kill a geth prime on silver(we'd all bled out through stupidity or...well, stupidity. Honestly, there were only like 3 enemies left. It shouldn't have been that hard.)
Problem one; he did not know how to cloak and then fire. He never did it. Ever. Not. Once. He also insisted in overloading the prime over and over again while missing wildly with his avenger. Good thing it's pinpoint accurate in short bursts! Eheh...heh...eheh...
But at least he could use it to avoid taking damage, right!? No wait, no he couldn't. He proceeded to use at LEAST 50 stim packs by not using cover at all and getting nailed time and time again as he ran through the open from ammo crate to ammo crate.
Finally, after 10 minutes of this pain, one of the bled-out teammates comes on the mike. "Dude, do you have any missiles left?"
Ten long, quiet seconds later; "Oh. Right." Pseeeeeew--Boom!
The worst part; we had already beaten wave 10. He was literally doing that entire exercise for the sake of 2000 credits and a few thousand extra XP. And then he died and bled out before extraction.
Good show, old boy. Good show. 
Joined a gold in session and this krogan kept dying and wouldn't gel. On his umpteenth death on wave 4, i'm close enough to try a revive but he's swarmed. "Use a missile." Figured it was a waste, didn't bother. We all die wave 10. Krogan was a level 1.
