"seemingly nerfed shockwave and reave"

In my opinion, ME3 significantly increased the usefulness of Shockwave by allowing it to detonate every type of power combo. Reave's effect is also more useful, giving a period of damage protection rather than restoring health, and it's very effective for biotic detonations (as it is a non-projectile power).
