I've seen lots of other classes/races, but I've been the only drell vanguard in all the games I've been playing, either people think its meh or they hate drell, or they find the rolling animation as annoying as I do lol.
On a random note had a good game today, was playing gold with a bunch of low level characters, was like oh wow we are going to die...well we died, but not before making it to wave 6, how? The team actually worked together, stayed in group for some segments or flanked the enemy when they were in the open. Was fun.
I must be the only Drell Vanguard on PC

I've been in a game with two Drell Vanguards before. It was rather surprising.

I've unlocked Drell Vanguard. Just don't feel like playing him.

My favorite class. Nothing like charging across the map, followed by a heavy melee then cartwheeling to safety
Of course, I'm on the 360, so I probably have no reason to post here

I played with a drell Vanguard earlier, he didn't know what the hell he was doing and got killed across the map from us like four times. By the fourth time we weren't even going out of our way to revive him anymore.

My second character and my favorite so far. I've him almost maxed out. Biotic Charge is a blast to use. BC+Shotgun to head = me grinning! It's also a great tool for flanking. The cluster grenades are great for clearing rooms and as a panic button. Pull is purely situational for me but it works well for mitigation. My Drell Vanguard may be squishy but he steamrolls over the elites (Nemesis, Phantom etc.)
Overall, very fun class.

I got the Drell Vanguard right out of the box with my recruit pack. Lucky me.
I enjoy doing ALL of the cartwheels.

I unlocked a Drell last night. I pretty much own with a human Vanguard and I LOVE Nova....I was lost with the Drell at first. Totally different style. Pull is more of a support biotic and I am thinking you have to play more of a support/range role with them. Maybe switch from shotgun to sniper.

I see them quite often honestly. By far the most popular Alien race I've seen.
They do always tend to die over and over though.. Do they have less health than human Vanguards or did I just run into suicidal Drell Vanguards?

They get half the barrier of the human vanguards.

I think most ppl aren't playing the DrellGuard correctly. They realize the Nova guard has more survivablity and stop play the DrellGuard. The DG is not a charge-bot. You don't have Nova or the 20% weight reduction to all weapons like the NovaGuard, and only have half the shields of the other races. The DrellGuard is all about Biotic combos. Pull a target, throw a cluster grenade, and watch the Biotic detonation kill every enemy in the area. Never charge with out pulling first to cause a detonation.
Pull is what makes the DG special not the cartwheel or kung fu kicks. Pull has like a 1.5 sec cooldown. It CC's multiple enemies for 7+ secs, combos with your other two abilities, and adds a damage bonus two you AR shots. You should be using an AR because you have less weight with an AR and pistol than a just a shotty because of the 30% weight reduction to pistols passive.

Just unlocked it. I'm looking forward to test him. Any build suggestions? I thought about building him Thane-like. Pull/grenade, aiming for keeping the distance, probably with a SR or AR.

This is good to know. If I ever manage to unlock him(Drell Vanguard) I will totally try this. Sounds awesome.

Ye, so at gold difficulty you can kill basic assaultsers. cool. How do you reliably hit with grenades? And how do you keep up their usage? Can you really claim grenade, as the main ability against anything other than assault troopers, is viable? You only got 2-3 and then you need to run to every ammo pack there is...

If you play Drell Vanguard like ME2's Vanguard you shouldn't have any survivability issues.
I imagine there is a minority of Drell Vanguards namely as:
1) Luck of the draw -- Can't unlock
2) Requires finesse to really shine, whereas Human Vanguard is debately brainlessly overpowered.

Interesting, what about toting just a scoped Carnifex?
I'll give my DrellGuard a go in Bronze now.
