 So, in Omega, Nyreen Kandros has a skill "Biotic Protector"

has anyone found an actual use for this? She can't move, cant fight, or use Powers. She basically just puts herself in stasis.

So, has anyone found a use for this skill?

[Taboo]

It works really well when she plays Red Light, Green Light.

But in all seriousness? No.

The only use I could figure is to act as an aggro sponge in Multiplayer, like a Geth Jugg without the need to drain with heavy melee. Singleplayer mobs are easy as pie to neutralize, though, so I'm not sure why it'd be needed outside of choice opportunities in Insanity.

No. It would have made more sense for the bubble to be like the Asari Justicar in multiplayer (protect others, boost powers, set biotic explosions). I haven't found a use for hers.

Doesn't she make a bubble you can stand in?

nope, she makes a tiny buble only she can stand in, that prevents her from attacking in anyway

Sounds like an aggro sponge power if I've ever heard of one.

I should mess with it some time...
I mostly use Nyreen's tech powers...

I can see from the skill tree you can have ten seconds of damage protection after the five second shield wears off, and a 300 point blast with a 3 meter radius, which reminds me of tech armor, except you get the protection after instead of before, which could make it less risky for detonations...

Hmm...

Except in any game I've ever played the tank still has to use powers to draw aggro.

Congratulations, you now get an aggro sponge ability with no drawbacks.

Until it gets nerfed by whiners.

Yeah, that one was really useless. Never used it. Would've been better if it could've protected Shepard and Aria as well.

[jacob taylor416]

I find it absolutely perfect, you see if she had been Reave then I would have felt obligated to actual put points into it, this way I have her, actually, useful powers at full strength, not caring what so ever about Biotic Protector.

It would have been good for multiplayer.

[arial]

it should have been like the Justicars bubble from MP

[Nitrocuban]

Should have been the best from Decoy, Volus bubble, Geth heavy melee and Flare.
- Full damage protection but unable to move, shot, use power.
- Drawing aggro, enemies come closer to melee the bubble
- when let loose flare-like biotic splosion with lots of damage and force

Glad to see I was not the only one who looked at this power and went "WTF?"

Do you suppose the whole reason they gave it to her was so she could blow up those Adjutants at the end? But, of course, how does she do that if we haven't specced her into it?

Yup, but her skill is made to absorb  damage that is coming in and not to contain any damage made inside.

In-game she can only cast it onto herself but in the cutscene she can make a "bubble" around her. Doesn't make any sense.


Edit:masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Biotic_Protector

Reduce incoming damage by 50% for 10 seconds after the shield expires.
