Please use the reply option next time. Phasic Rounds are pure energy and they only get a modest bonus against shields and at the cost of significantly decreased firepower. The physical protection shields aren't very common and the personal shields (energy-only and otherwise) are all-but-lost, which is certainly not the case for Reapers and their troops.
