Been playing around with my adept and couldnt help but notice the description for shockwave is WAY off. The video of the power shows enemies being thrown around like ragdolls yet when I use it against unshielded red bar enemies they barely flinch. I actually laughed as I was downed due to thinking it might actually knock the enemies away from me.
So I thought it might be fun if we could come up with our own descriptions for power. Maybe something more in line with what we actually get. Example:
"Shockwave: Part your enemies hair from across the room with this pitiful biotic nudge."

The video probably is showing the rank 6 evolution. They do go flying with it. It's as useful as it is annoying. It's a pain to shoot them in the ceiling, but they stop shooting you.

Energy Drain: mildly annoy shielded enemies while Outlaw Saboteurs laugh at you.
Assault Turret: you didn't put more than 1 tank into this, did you?

Tactical Cloak: accidentally throw two Sticky Grenades and use Energy Drain while desperately trying to avoid being eaten by dogs.
Because who the f&^! thought that putting powers on LB+RB (XB1) was a good idea?!?!

Cryo Beam: It´s perfect for cooling drinks. Don´t expect it to impress the ladies/gents too much.
Throw: It´s never been easier than now to brofist your best buddy across the room!
Flak Cannon: The best and most powerful weapon you could possibly have to fend off Aircraft. Sadly, they didn´t have time for orbital bombardment.

I suspect that the little videos were made in single player, on a low difficulty, on a jacked up ryder with a bunch of +Biotic Force upgrades.

Example: "Shockwave: Part your enemies hair from across the room with this pitiful biotic nudge." Invasion: Drink the tears of Warp/Reave/Dark Channel fans with your glorious Tech He said weak powers. I wouldn't call Invasion weak. You just have to use it properly. First, take the top three evolutions in the skill- recharge speed, duration and virulence. Then take radius and tech sabotage in tech support. Throw Invasion at an enemy and run away. Profit as you get points from multiple explosion from virulence and the infection just keeps spreading... |

Invasion does no damage, so according to BSN, it's weak. Yeah, it's value is definitely less direct. It's a support skill. Makes enemies easier to kill, with tech sabotage it lowers their damage by 30% helping people survive, with virulence enemies go boom at 15% health, and possibly a little known fact- it can spread at any time. If an enemy who isn't affected gets in radius of one who is, they become infected as well for the full duration. |

I didn't care for Flak when playing with Krogan,but I like it with Havok.
It gives me enough time to stop those charging Berserkers and burst them down.
