I'm only using it for the Javelin, M-98 Widow and Executioner pistol.
Any other weapons you like to use this ammo for?

Black widow and mantis
I tend to use it on some of the multishot snipers, like the Valiant and BW, because it allows you to OHK the shielded mooks pretty easily (with a headshot for the Valiant).
That aside I suppose you could use it on the Acolyte to become the ultimate shield stripper.
Put it on the Talon, slap it on an Adept, strip shields as well as the Acolyte, while also being able to OSK mooks with a headshot.
EDIT: Also, use it on the BW on an infiltrator, especially on the Drell Infiltrator with Invasive Scan Recon Mine. Making the BW into a gun that can OSK pretty much any mook with a body shot is completely unfair.
I'm thinking the Crusader might be another option also.
Never have used phasic rounds mostly because I'm too lazy to scroll down to them. Seems like they would be best on the typical hard hitting weapons that get screwed by shield gate. Just an amateur player's take

Tried that, failed miserably.
Crusader's damage is in a range where pretty much nothing makes it OHK shielded mooks.
Shotguns.
Thanks,
So basically only the hard hitting snipers and Executioner, so that many options - but it sure beats Cryo and Explosive!
I use them on the Acolyte when I don't want incendiary interference with my biotics. Other than that, just sometimes on sniper rifles.
I'll use it on my (beloved) Vorcha Sentinel sometimes, especially when there's other players in the lobby who I expect to be performing combos with- phasics so I'm not overwriting any powerful 6+6 combos with wussy level 1 ammo powers, and it rounds out his DPS abilities since shields/barriers are where he's weakest anyways (since he's obviously got armor covered). Always nice to be able to stop a Banshee in its tracks with a single BLA-BLAM from your AT-12 Raider.
Also have used it on the acolyte to supercharge its shield-stripping capabilities, and obviously on the higher damage/single shot snipers.
Black Widow (although the performance decreases VS Collectors or Reapers), Widow, Javelin. Pretty much it.
On Valiant I use the Disruptor ammo, I find the stun effect very helpful.
I'm thinking the Crusader might be another option also.
Not bad, but again, the Disruptor or AP/Drill takes the cake for me.
Phasics do 9x damage to shields\barriers, Dirsuptor do 4x if I remember right....
Would phasic be beneficial so you can strip shields faster to get to your armor related damage powers? (i.e. incinerate)

Yes, but Phasics are almost too good vs shields/barriers. Disruptor does a good enough job + stuns and sets up Tech bursts which are great for crowd control.

Oh so in other words, rapid fire weapons are better for disruptor ammo, and phasics for those awesome one shot weapons.
I use phasic on non-infiltrators I am using a sniper rifle on. otherwise it is always drill rounds
because screw walls.
Phasics make the Valiant a great gun. I wouldn't use it without them.
Combo Barrel and Piercing Mod, it's got plenty of ammo capacity. And light enough to afford you a Scorpion Pistol for CQC with Phantoms and Dragoons.
I take phasics when I want pure tech destruction from my own powers, have enough AP on my guns or sometimes with shotties.
Black Widow and Crusader
Phasic 3 I like to use on SR's with double penetration (read it however you want, BSN). Not just for clean killing mooks in one headshot, but because on double and tripple hit bosses, the real dps doesn't come in until their shields are down (ie. Atlases only melt once the shields are down). So yes, Phasic Ammo 3 are super OP.
Phasic Ammo 2 & 1... I use those on any other weapon as auto firing ones. Since I never feel like using them for Sniping. Plus there's enough synergy in them for biotic focus kits. Since shields (not barriers) are the bane of Biotics.
Generally use them on high damage per round slow firing weapons personally. Sniper rifles mainly.
By preference I only ever use them on the Javelin or Widow, but I also consider them as a viable alternative to Disruptor Ammo with some kits if I find myself with more than one Biotic in the lobby.
Other than the obvious use on sniper rifles, I used to put phasic ammo on my Arc pistol. Definitely not as good as armor piercing but still a very viable ammo choice for that gun. Especially when playing against Cerby or Geth.
