I personally think the Asari Justicar is very limited unless there's at least one other Adept in the party.

I just can't solo biotic explosions with her. Pull + Reave just doesn't work as well as Warp + Lift/Throw.

• She's probably the most versatile character in the game IMO and my favorite. Reave works and eats EVERYTHING on the battlefield, if you spec your AJ for power and power duration its amazing. I usually just spam reave then use my mattock (incendiary ammo
  which also eats away at the target). (Reave can be stacked up to 3 times on one target. Reave also cause targets to stagger)

• Pull and reave when ever you see a red HP bar to set off BE.
• Also can set off two BE's by casting reave on a target, then casting a warp bubble around them (setting off a BE) then reaveing them again while inside the bubble setting off another BE.
  
• Then there's the defensive AJ, with the 6 in fitness and the DEF. bubble which is not my cup of tea, so i have no details on that.
  

[/quote]I agree with what Praetorian said about how the AJ works much better when there's another Biotic in the squad. You just don't do enough effective damage on your own like a few other more versatile characters such as the Asari Adept or an Infiltrator.
In response to Cosmo's bullets (just my opinion):

• Reave does work on everything like you said. However, it takes a while to work UNLESS you throw another biotic at the target to cause an explosion (hence the reason having another Biotic in the squad is a great thing). Biotic explosions are simply MUCH
  quicker and more effective at taking down enemies.
• Pull in my honest opinion is too limited. It works on very few enemies.
• Casting the Biotic Sphere right on an enemy is difficult. You'd have to be right next to an enemy to do that. Most of the time you have to lay it down as a trap that they'll walk through.
  
• I've found that a pure defensive Biotic Sphere doesn't protect your squad enough to warrant that distribution of power points unfortunately.

• I agree that with another biotic the AJ is more effective. but she can still dish out damage when paired with non-biotics. Reave is prob. the most underrated biotic power in the game with another adept/sential or not. Area pull can hit numerous targets
  at long range, can be stacked to be more effective. stops regeneration of barriers. It all depends on how you got your AJ specced. (duration/power damage). Its a good feeling on gold just to be able stack reave, shoot the targets a couple times and move on,
  while you see your tag(reave)(enemy name) on the bottom of the screen.
• Pull has saved me countless times when rushed down by centurions,Marauders etc, i usually stagger him with reave, couple head shots, and hit him with pull, then reave again. for the BE. Also effective to pull and reave trash mobs that are mixed in with
  other targets with shields and barriers
• I find it pretty easy to set bubbles around atlas's, phantoms,banshees, primes, etc. only thing i hate is that you can't cast a bubble while your cross hairs are on a target. (red in color). Pretty easy to set up bubbles in choke points too.
  
• & i agree with you on the defensive bubble, but i bet there's someone out there using it effectively.
  
• We should play sometime
