I wound up in the same boat as you. Now I only got 2 bots equipped with it and the rest have quantum radar. I would rather spend 1/2 the power cells and go on the offensive rather than spend double to run away and hide.

Proud to say I haven't phase shifted even once since it's release. It's just a gimmick most of the time anyway, a vast majority of the time they just die 5 seconds later anyway. Lol, same can be said about Last Stand, though the advantage of Last Stand is you can still fire your weapons. With PS, a lot of the time people activate it when they’re about to die, which is silly and wasteful. I use it sparingly on Loki, and oscillate between stealth and PS with Pursuer = longevity and more damage output. It is also useful on Hellburner for penetrating a huddle of Greeks, on Phantom for closing on an enemy, and on Ao Jun especially if it is equipped with cooldown booster and some module related skills that prolong effect or activate instantly at an hp threshold. I dont agree is a gimmick because I keep seeing it produce good results when used properly. PS use seemed to skyrocket about a week ago. And I agree that in a lot of cases, it's helped bots get to cover, that otherwise would have been toast. Only to come out again to wreak havoc in 15-20 seconds.
Still, I use enough of the green crack as it is; so for now at least, no Phase Shift for me.

Any module can lead you to develop bad habits, even ones like Quantum Radar. Back in the day, when facing a stealth bot we used to bait him into activating stealth early before hightailing it into cover so we can hunt him down once his stealth wears off. But now, we can simply say no to his little trick and blast him back to the bot selection screen.
My advice is simple: Only use modules as a fail safe. Only after your initial plan fails should you even consider activating a module to redeem yourself.

Sigh, the peer pressure and my rapidly decreasing inventory of PC...
Y'all are right. When I run out of PC I'm suddenly going to not know how to play anymore.
I'm also a bit addicted to advanced heal on my Fen. I think using these things is artificially pushing me up further in league points than I should be with my gear and skill level. The flip side to that is it really has helped me be more useful on the field (never use these to avoid a little damage or when I'm near death or anyway - except if holding on to a beacon is that critical in the balance of the game outcome)
Ok back to Quantum Radar and regular repair.

being completely honest, me having a true love affair with legacy bots? .... Im totally loving PS- pc's be damned, i dont care- take em all. i got about 20k. however..i am extremely deliberate in using them. most situations, id rather let the bot die than activate PS like getting flanked by two reds or getting rushed by a blitz or persuer, etc. that said, it is very deadly when used skillfully. ... with weapons like splash, where you are actively reloading while phased.. especially with that split second where you start to come out of phase and can fire a hair before enemy can SEE youve come out of phase? Its a massive problem for reds. i see PS as a tactical advantage who best serves those that use it wisely. ..yes its great to avoid dragon breath and ares disco ball.. along with mercury helldive (i see mercury doing its classic predictable run to close distance for its jump... i stay still ... then PS at the last second of the helldive just to be a pr*ck lol-plus when ps is over, so is his stealth= dead merc) i have become a bit more aggressive with PS because i dont have to be so careful tip toeing trying to avoid junk breath or discoball. ive always hunted ares with extreme prejudice but now i dont care if yankee stadium is full of ares discoballin it up. i will run into the heart of em and nuke the whole lot. I like making them feel the burn. they've had enough fun for long enough and now its time for them to find out that it aint no fun when the rabbit got the gun

I only use them on Loki regularly, and on AJs when they're being too aggressive. On other stealth bots, I only use Quantum Radar in case of emergencies.

i use PS on my Ember Ao Jun, they perfectly matched when i need to reload in danger. Even better is i have Last Stand on Ao Jun, which means i am pretty sure i can fire 2 full Ember before I die (if i Empty my Ember before i activate PS), if lucky... i will have my ability up soon.

I keep my bots equipped with the best modules for them. I just try not to use any active modules unless I really need it to win a game. The game we were in, that Asian clan we fought would use PS even when they weren’t taking fire. They would use it just to take a beacon, an uncontested beacon. Even when the game was a wash and most of their guys were already spawn raiding. Yeah I remember, lol.

I have it on one bot and rarely use it unless its life or death. My weakness is Quantum Radar. I just cant help my self when a see a bot out in the open with stealth. Flying ones especially.

I wound up in the same boat as you. Now I only got 2 bots equipped with it and the rest have quantum radar. I would rather spend 1/2 the power cells and go on the offensive rather than spend double to run away and hide. Man this is such a misconception of PS. If used properly, it gives your most OP bot another chance to fight, hence higher dps. In an 1-on-1 situation you will mostly win if red doesn’t have it (assuming u know what u r doing). You can also use PS offensively, eg I use it to charge into shield bots and delete them. PS is also the difference between capping the center beacon or losing it. PS is super strong for both offensive and defensive.

I use it only on my Nemesis. Didn't see this bot listed here with PS, which looks odd to me,because PS fits very well with its skill cooldown time... best bot for PS,by my thoughts.

So, I just went in and took out Phase Shift for most of the bots that were equipped with it. The only ones left using it are my Loki and my Blitz - and I think I'll remove it from my Blitz too. I dropped below 10k power cells and that was an eye opener. I'd gotten so used to using PS that I've developed sloppy piloting habits. For example, I'll be too careless when making my attack run, or not worrying too much about where I'm jumping in my Spectre. I got to the point where I would hit the button as soon as I started taking damage - where my initial reason for using it was to escape Ares and Ao Jun. IDK, I think I was a better player before I started relying on it. I'm going back to using only Quantum Radar for most of my builds! I haven't used powercells in 3 weeks because I am broke on it! helped me as a player but also hurt my wins.
