Warp

From Mass Effect Wiki

Warp is a biotic talent available to Adepts and Vanguards. Warp lowers the armor on a target, increasing the damage the enemy takes, as well as dealing damage over time. It works by creating rapidly-shifting mass effect fields that shred the target apart, similar in function to the disruptor torpedoes used by starships.

Warp is extremely useful on Hardcore and Insanity difficulties against krogan because it helps stop them regenerating, but is also invaluable against larger enemies like Geth Armatures or Geth Colossi when engaging them on foot. Using Warp gives a better chance of survival without using the Mako's mass accelerator cannon, and therefore a greater XP reward.
