Shockwave

Shockwave is a biotic power available to Scions, Jack, Adepts, and Vanguards in Mass Effect 2. When used, the power sends out a series of explosive biotic impacts in front of the user ignoring any obstacles. It can be unleashed along the ground to launch all enemies in its path into the air, or used against airborne targets. It is worth noting that when Shockwave hits a shielded target it will be stunned for around 2 seconds, losing a bit of shield depending on your skill's impact force, but won't be thrown into the air. This can be useful in stopping advancing enemies and allowing you to focus fire on this target with your team. This ability is similar to Scion's attack, but has different effects and abilities.

While looking forward, the shockwave will always start directly at your feet. Looking upwards before peforming the power starts the shockwave ahead of you.Also if you use ShockWave and bring up either the Power Wheel or the Weapons Wheel, the ShockWave won't stop, but it's effects are only noticied after closing the Wheel(Comfirmed on Xbox 360).
