Is huntress the most boring character in the game?

I play her as a melee kit with shield powered Lance and throw to trigger Biotic Warrior. Slap on your favourite shotgun or shotgun substitute, and you're good to go.

I recently tried a respec, taking Throw up to rank 5 with the extended prime duration for BEs, and it's all over the place. The throw physics are unpredictable, and even if you manage to detonate a BE, it'll be on an isolated target.

I don't know what they were thinking.

People trip over themselves to praise stealth grid but I've never been able to enjoy it. I much prefer tactical cloak. I also save my ammo powers for elemental techers so I don't have much use for the huntress which is a shame because she was top-3 for me in ME3.

notCreating Biotic Combos between shots is mostly to deal with close range foes - it's merely a side show not the main source of damage on a character with SG. You do so much more damage with Stealth Grid + Sniper on her, if you are doing combos at the expense of more sniping I can't see that being as effective. It's a biotic sniper character in essence. The biotic combos are just an alternative to sticky grenades the way I see it.

Leave the ammo based explosions to the Kineticist. Stealth Grid is great with the vanquisher if you use them like candy. It's a bit of a niche character and that's fine - it has it's uses. I play it in general when I feel like sniping but the rest of the team is biotic. If I wanted to focus on explosions I'd use the Asari Adept or Kineticist.

You can get a couple of shots off with Stealth Grid. If half a bar or less is remaining I don't need extra Stealth Grid damage to finish them off with the Vanquisher.

It has a niche. Two detonators for detonating ammo primers, and stealth grid is OP in and of itself.

She really needs some different powers.

Shield based lance is what I use on her. Granted she's not as strong as the other infiltrators in the game, but she's very effective at conserving consumables because of the barrier passive and cloak grid spam.

I use her when I play with my cousin's Krogan Mercenary. Prime with flamethrower, I boom. He tanks and staggers, I deeps and cloak us when necessary

I imagine running with a Turian Agent would work well, too. Less stagger, less tank, moar deepses.

So I'm counting zero convincing arguments/build ideas so far, pretty much what I thought :/

this character needs an overhaul,
all new powers

She makes no sense whatsoever. If you for some reason like Throw + Lance, you are better off with the Assdept or the Kineticist. If you like to be Stealthy, she is by far the least strong choice when it comes to that.

You can obviously overcome these arguments by giving her the best guns in game, yet her passives are from being that good either to make the most out of such guns. Moreover, you could give the same powerful guns to any other kit and most likely get better results.

Beyond having such weird combination of powers, she leaves almost no room for improvement either, since any buff to her may also buff the much stronger Assdept.

The only way I found her to be fun is by using the Hornet/Hurricane and priming/detonating with ammo since she has two fast detonators. The Duelist and Human Soldier do this better though.
