What's wrong with her? Stealth grid and two detonators is bad? Barrier passive. She's solid solo. She thrives in a dynamic duo with vanguards, adepts, engineers ect. Her powers have no real synergy. I just hate the idea of having to depend on teammates to generate combos. Yeah I mean throw plus lance CAN generate an explosion but it's hard as hell to pull those off reliably. Her efficiency depends too much on the quality of the team IMO.

I look at her in the same light as Krogan Gladiator. Not the best at what they do, but an interesting mix that fits perfect in certain team comps.

Honestly, all characters are a bore to me because as soon as I finally level one up to fun level 20, OCD dictates that I move to level up the next character to 20. ... 1400 APEX rating and still I don't have all my characters leveled up. Mass Effect Andromeda multiplayer;

I might use her to follow around a competant teammate who does a lot of Priming (such as Annihilation Field), but not much else. One saving grace is that, unlike Tac Cloak, Stealth Grid does not prevent Shield Regen, so Shield-Powered Lance can be liberally applied from midrange. And then you get the utility of cloaking your teammates, and whatever use you can find for doing so. If they ever add Dark Channel to this game, I hope they consider trading Huntress Throw for DC and then she'll be decent (and closer to her ME3MP incarnation) Throw should stay. No one will miss lance. She was good for the first 2-3 days of the game when we didn't have any good gear and were trying to make it through Kett objective waves on gold. Since then however I haven't found much of a reason to play her. They should redo her and give her cloak, dark channel and warp. No.

The huntress in ME3 was infinitely more interesting than it is now. I know it won't happen though.

i'd prefer throw too. the opportunity to prime and detonate from a distance, then go clean up with a shotgun would be better strategically and allow for more options. throw has a quicker cooldown too doesn't it? lance would work, being cloaked before chasing dark channel around, but i'd still prefer the options that throw gives over lance.

She would've been pretty sweet if her powers had been Invasion (basically the new tech version of Dark Channel) and like Shockwave (so she could prime and detonate) or something. That would've been 1000x better than the stupid Throw/Lance powerset.

She's the medic with the sniper rifle. Her usefulness scales with the scrubbyness of of pugs. Probably the best medic. Good as sniper, too. I go full weapon stuff and throw 6 as panic button. But she is shittier at being a medic than the angara avenger as well as being a worse damage dealer? Avenger has stealth grid too but also bioelectric ward to keep the pugs alive in the first place. And 85% enemy damage debuff on avenger strike. The huntress has nothing like that. Or you could build the salarian infiltrator to be a bettter medic with tactical revive and team energy drain. Avenger can't detonate, to my knowledge. Medic + Detonator.

The avenger's powers can actually kill stuff unlike lance and throw so she doesn't need to detonate anything. And good luck with your throw + lance comboing misadventures. I doubt you'll be setting any speedrun records with that setup. If you're actually using ammo to make the huntress good well that's ammo you could have spent elsewhere on a character that was allready good without it.

I like that she has stealth grid, two detonators, and the barrier passive. She's the perfect compliment to the Krogan Mercenary, imo. She'll probably work well with the Turian Agent, too.

I really like her and to some degree, I find her more fun than most other classes. It has a lot to do with how you play. I enjoy being able to load her up with any weapon combination I want due to Barrier Powered Lance. You have her spec'ed in biotic Worrier with Barrier replenished mele... She's effective at all ranges. You can leave Lance at rank five and dump those points into throw and get the same sort of biotic power cycling that Barrier Powered Lance provides....
I leave stealth grid at rank 3 as I only use it for escaping. She's got a lot of versatility and build possibilities. I'd just avoid spec'ing all in on stealth grid or throw.

I'm not that interested in her, yet the rng has made her my first Rank X so the game really wants me to play her.

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. Probably designed with SP fights in mind. Enemies are more spread out in open environments and you can set up lots of throw/charge combos. Or maybe even pull/throw/charge multi combos.

But to my knowledge she is the only character with stealth grid that can detonate. Prime, not really. But detonate, definitely.

She's the char you want when you want to play at mid to long range, generate your own combo detonations with throw 5a and lance, and pop stealth grid when in danger. IMO the most boring characters in the game are the infiltrators.

After 4 pages of discussion (that I didn't read, btw) has anyone come up with a build/role for her that other characters would simply not do the same equally or better? No. yes. my build (dark channel, throw, stealth grid, shotgun passives) would make her better at cqc-spawn control with bosses in the middle as well as against multiple spawns. dark channel primes from a distance, adept can't do the same. dark channel one group, stealth grid, send cloaked teammate to clear group one while huntress moves on to the next group of enemies while cloaked. against a boss with multiple enemies, dark channel, everyone goes in, does damage, if coast isn't clear, stealth grid and get out or stealth grid and revive. again, adept would not be able to do the same. plus, huntress would be arguably better at objectives and for sure reviving. edit: i used the adept since i probably won't get much debate that she's the best cqc character in the game as far as quickly dispatching a group of enemies.

Yes. The huntress in ME3 was infinitely more interesting than it is now. I know it won't happen though. Losing stealth grid is an automatic 'No' from me.
