Too easy.

Repair Matrix, Cain Mines, Stim Packs, Snap Freeze.

I'm surprised at how often Decoy & Sentry Turret are coming up. Those powers are lifesavers. (And come in assorted flavors.)

So what do you think are worst powers, and why?

From my perspective they are not unusable, but could be replaced by anything except pull and improve the QFE, Saboturian, etc.

I think it's more of the original Decoy vs. today's Decoy. 

The original decoy might have been the best power.  You could just have 4 SEs, drop 4 decoys at choke points and then kill everything as they piled up or were distracted. 

The problem is that people still haven't learnt how to use it effectively. Yeah, it doesn't completely trivialize Banshees like it used to (though it still trolls Phantoms), but it can draw a lot of heat from the squad. Unlike TC, which just dumps all the aggro on your team mates. Decoy helps your team much more than people give it credit for.

Whats with the sticky grenade hate(no love)? They are amazing on my QFI. Cloak, throw at group or unshielded armor. So much damage.

I really don't get it either. They are beastly.

It can help the team and still be one of the four 'least-good' i.e. worst powers in MP.

From my understanding people don't like the radius and they're not easy to use like other grenades (no bounce).  You're right, the armor damage can be huge.

Pull is another power I feel is underrated on BSN - %75 increased BE explosion

I wish I had a way to get it on my DA or DV .. but I don't know what I'd give up for it ...

I would be willing to try them again, if it wasn't for the noobs always using up grenade boxes for stim pacs and arc grenades. I just don't use grenades much because there are so many grenade users anymore.

None, they all serve its purpose.

I guess so, it's all so very subjective.

Personally I find it really hard to name any really bad powers. Even the worst powers in the game can be made very effective with a suitable build and loadout. I would probably name powers like Pull, Submission Net, Biotic/Electric Slash and Biotic Orbs. Yet all them them can be very, very useful if you use them right.

I love a lot of the powers getting hated on... Pull is awesome, I love Shadow Strike, I love turrets, I love sticky grenades.

I kinda hate Havoc Strike, though. Kinda really hate it.

I don't think I have 3 other powers that I hate, really... everything else works well if you find a build with it that works for you. I find Homing Grenades a little too slow for my liking, I guess there's that.

small blast radius

[Garrus1138]

Flare, Dominate, Defense Matrix and Biotic Protector, because they are not in MP

Seriously: Submission Net, Concussive Arrows, Poison Strike and Sabotage

I used to be a be advocate of stickies.  But there are other grenades now that are far superior.

... and not on the FQI or human Infiltrators either.  LoLogic.

Whatever the Turian Saboteur uses. So bad.

Pull: not really effective against anything but mooks that are down to Health.

A Collector Captain and a Marauder are dangerous even without shields...
Pull disables them and does also enough damage to kill them...
And a Acolyte strips their shields and barriers very fast.

[tetsutsuru]

1. Pull.
2. Shadow Strike (post-patch that broke it).
3. Cryo Blast.
4. Hawk Missile Launcher.

[Bladedrummer]

My very personal list:
shadow strike (used to love it, but no)
carnage
most turrets/drones can be fail
havoc strike
Poison Strike

Edit: also not a fan of Sabotage

Maybe Decoy since enemies flat out ignore it in MP a lot of the time, but it is occasionally useful. 

Geth never ignore the Decoy  even now.
