Nightstalker 3.0 kinda lacks utility in PvE.

I am not sure how many would agree, especially since a lot of people seem to struggle against invisibility in PvP, but at least for PvE, doing raids and stuff, I feel kinda... Useless, I don't know how to explain, but the subclass feels really selfish, the only utility Invisibility really brings is clutch resses. Like, don't get me wrong, it is really strong, just like Sentinel and Voidwalker, Moebius Quiver deals a lot of damage... But that's about it, the low cooldown high damage vortex grenade + Volatile rounds is a build that both Titans and especially Warlocks can do so nothing special there. Snare bomb has it's moments but ultimately lackluster, especially when compared to Shield Throw, Shield Bash or Pocket Singularity. You can say "Well, you can make your teammates invisible!" But let us be honest here, most don't know they are about to go invisible so they continue shooting and go out of invis as soon as they get it, unless communication is involved, but even then there aren't many situations where it's useful for everyone to go invs for a couple of secs. In short, the only moment it feels like I am actually doing anything special is when I use my super, while Titans can give their team overshields + reload speed depending on barrier + increased weapon damage while shielding their allies during their super, Warlocks can heal or increase weapon damage as well having a mini vortex grenade in the form of Child of the Old Gods that makes the low cd grenade build twice as strong as Titans and Hunters while also having a pretty damn strong super in the form of Nova Bomb. And look, I understand, Titans and Warlocks are designed to be more supporty, from theme, to gameplay, to lore, but old Nightstalker at least had Heart of the Pact that boosted stats, defense, reload speed and handling. The current Nightstalker feels 100% designed for PvP, with PvE as an afterthought and even then the whole PvP gimmick is "I can go invisible forever!" which isn't as exciting as it seems. [b]TL;DR - Nightstalker 3.0 doesn't really have anything that makes it stand out in PvE, it's only real utility are clutch resses, seeing as Sentinel and Voidwalkers can do similar high damage builds but with their added group utility. [/b] To finish things off, I just wanted to check how people feel about Nightstalker on the poll, to see what the consensus is.
