I highly agree with op.

[Excella Gionne]

Quarian Bum Strike is better. 

[Brannigans 1ove]

Heh. I don't. You can teleport and cloak, there are lots of ways to avoid bees. Even if all that fails, you still have a weapon and Electric Slash.

I tend to accidentally time SSing a captain, just as it squats to **** bees.  By the time I've got there, hey presto bees for all!

[Akir388]

Because if you can't disappear, dump aggro on your teammates, teleport across the map, behead mooks with a cool-ass sword, and look damn smexy all at the same time, then you are using a scrub-tier sub-optimal kit, and need to GOML.

Melee QFI is like the Shadow, but for people with more class, sophistication and refined taste.

[The NightMan Cometh]

Played my 1st match with her in more than a year last night...Forgot how fun she is..rolled Cerberus/Goddess   ...Phantoms?..What Phantoms?  Someone was complaining that they didn't see any Dragoons the entire match                                                                      ( Only the Shadow Knows... )   

[PresidentVorchaMasterBaits]

Phantom's bum bum is still better.

Volus kits can pretty much do everything OP said and do it better

Phantom had surgery to try and replicate what the Shadow has through athleticism.

Absurdly untrue. Except for the smexy part... dat Volus roll...

[Caineghis2500]

Meh I couldn't get myself to like her. I remember AHCold made her look good with the Black Widow

It's cute that you think that.

[TheNightSlasher]

A meleeing shadow striking build is incredibly fun. Idc about efficiency.

Screw efficiency! Collect heads! The Predator wets his pants when he realizes he's up against Hattori Hannah.

Of course she's not epeen efficient enough. ES has too long of an animation and her AOE capabilities are lacking (that and everyone specs out of SS, which also has massively long animation). Sure you'll do well against pugs, but play a BSNer with Arc Nades, and you're epeen is going down.

 

That and if you play a full lobby of BSN quality pugs, be prepared to count how many times your ES has been robbed of a kill instead of the other way around.

 

 

Best you can do to make up for her slow powers is the weapon you carry.

Shadow isn't terrible but her TTK isn't the fastest and she takes a little different approach especially soloing. A lot of the time enemies will target you while you're shadowing striking and melee you in the air. Especially annoying versus phantoms. 

 

Side note, I want to test a few things on this tonight for science.

Can you target through walls with SS and the thermal scope? Does drill and the scope penetration stack?

I can and definitely have targeted and SS'd enemies through walls and objects on plenty of occasions. I've never used the scope to do it, but I suspect it would be much more reliable, as targeting SS through walls is much like targeting Warp around a corner, it relies on several factors coming together for it to work, and it's easy for the target to switch or go away before you attack.

 

I don't know what would "stack" between the scope and drill, but they should definitely work in combination. Although, I find drill's penetration distance (and penetration distance, in general) to be very unreliable, and easily undone by shallow angles.

[N7-Praesentiae]

Ahh the shadow. The badass space ninja showing phantoms how its done. Always ran the shield damage so I can wreck phantoms in melee battles, even on host. Hands down my most enjoyed kit to have fun with. I just wish I could SS atlases but hey, shotgun works too.

The Shadow's TTK is actually really fast.  The problem with the Shadow isn't slow TTK, it's that her TTK is highly situational.  For example, you can take out a Phantom and 2 Dragoons bunched together with SS and Heavy Melee as fast or faster than any kit on the game other than maybe one of the Cluster Grenade kits or Cain spam, but that ability is highly dependent on situation and enemy positioning.  You can do a crapton of damage to a Scion (over 20K) in just a couple of seconds, but the Scion has to be in a position where other enemies aren't going to shoot you in the back and down you in 2 seconds after you de-cloak.

 

I have never tried to solo with the Shadow, and I don't think I ever will.

good. you'll get rekt
 

[Swan Killer]

To those who say that not being able to SS Atlases is a bug, didn't Biovar say back then, that it's intentional, since the Shadow never should've been able to do that in the first place?

[Indoctornated]

I do it all the time. Works because you can target enemies through wall. No scanner or thermal scope needed. Just the enemy needs to be highlighted in the red target icon, which happens all the time.

What? Sorry, but that's just far from being true, in my opinion and experience.
