Is that with six ranks in poison strike. I can't remember if the last two evos have distance bonuses.

Distance is rank 4.

Rank 6 shortens the distance but gives you 2 strikes before cooldown activates.

It's underwhelming, and her other two powers are really good.

Small radius, no lock on capabilities ... poor damage.

Because it's poop outside of the 16.8m teleport (Which is useful enough to warrant taking it to rank 4).

I agree with this mostly, when PS does eventually hit correctly it's not bad. I find the telep. useful to get to LZ's and escort zones.

For me because the rank 6 evo for all 4 of the other tracks are better than any points in PS. The Cabal already has a teleporting heavy melee, what is the point of PS?

And having anything I happened to hit now behind me, doesn't feel like a smart idea.

The Cabal is a highly durable weapons expert with a devastating melee attack, teleportation and crowd control on a grenade power. I find Poison Strike to be irrelevant, there is always something else I can do in any situation that is better than PS.

I highly recommend taking PS to rank 4 (Range). It has INSANE range, and is EXTREMELY useful. 

I've solod Platinum with this character, and it's also the character I used to get into the Spectres. Poison Strike has saved me on multiple occasions, and it's extremely useful for objectives.

Poison Strike is awesome. One of the coolest abilities in the game.

Might as well call poison strike "teleport"

I use only to teleport, it's horrible to hit someone and deals low damage (using gold dificulty or platinum for example)

The sad thing is that it ACTUALLY dishes out respectable damage, but it's not enough to make up for wonky activation, bad hit detection, and the actual range of the teleport not being the range of the hitbox. 

I believe if you have everything possible stacked up for Power Damage, then after the DOT finishes and such, hitting a target with two Poison Strikes (Which is easy with Double Dash) will dish out over 5k damage.

I only spec the first 3 points into it because I use it for movement rather than actually doing anything. Any time I Poison Strike, it's like nothing gets hit with it, it's pointless.

[MP-Ryan]

Let's see:

1. Poor damage output.
2. Unreliable hit detection.
3. Wonky off-host.
4. Unreliable teleport use (try it on London... ugh).
5. No survivability bonus.

The Cabal's powers are a significant downgrade from the other Vanguards. Biotic Charge is leaps-and-bounds better than Poison Strike and Biotic Focus.

Now, if Biotic Focus restored shieldgate, it would be another matter entirely.

I've been playing her quite a bit since respec'ing without PS, and it's working out very nicely. Her dodge is amazing, and more importantly, it's reliable off-host. And with biotic focus, she's pretty tough.

Not much can't be taken out with nightshade blades and a few rounds to the head. And I like her light melee.

I am not surprised that people are completely underestimating Biotic Focus. Again. BSN pls.

lol. Infinite periods of I-frames to be used every few seconds. that's infinite shield gates.
