Everyone slips down to the bottom of stairs. Do they get a faster animation or something?

Well every other Volus player thats been in my game was a useless liability who kept getting killed and doing nothing to contribute.

They're a troll character bioware put in as a joke, since they probably want to end ME3MP with a bang, and they're entirley useless. if anything they are support characters like Demolishers or Justiciars but they can't fight worth a ****

<_< Yes... that is the whole point. And no, they are not a troll character. How about you don't try to base facts off your experiences/opinions?

I've played with Volus, but I noticed two things. They are great debuffers and support players, and they usually score the lowest.

[IndigoVitare]

Really enjoyed playing the VE. Superb class. It's support, but like all support classes it's still capable of holding its own.

Recon Mines are amazing, shield boost and on-demand tactical cloak makes up for the lack of health. Even its small stature is a benefit.

You don't NEED to score the lowest, it's all about how you play. I say the FQE is a very support based character, with its staggering turrets and debuffing Cryo Blasts. But even pre-patch it was a deadly killer in its own right.

The player support abilities most benefit is the player that uses them.

The difference between them and other abilities is that they ALSO benefit everyone else. Also, not instead. Everyone benefits.

VE is the same. Use it wisely and it's devestating, if fragile.

I've been kicked from one game, and since it was a Bronze game I assume it was morons who object to it on a supposed lore based nature than because they think the class is rubbish. Give it 2 weeks. In that time people will get a better handle on the class and the argument that it's rubbish will go away. Meanwhile those objecting to it on lore grounds will unlock it, give into the temptation to play it and realise they were wrong all along. The Volus is not a front-line brawler, it's a tech powered distance fighter that feels like it's been forced into combat by the invasion, not because it's its profession. Lore is not broken.

If you're going to complain about something in the DLC then complain about the mess of the class/power system that this DLC has made.

Sorry for the poor quality pictures from my Android phone but I lack recording equipment of any kind.

This was my setup.


This was my build.


Wave 3


Wave 6


Wave 10 (Before objective)


Wave 10 (After objective)


End Result


Why did I do it? I saw the lone wolf challenge and figured I would get it the most ridiculous way possible...never again.

*edit*

The objectives were
Wave 3 hack ( wasn't so bad)
Wave 6 Escort (cost me a gel)
Wave 10 objective recovery (the hardest objective recovery I've ever had to do)
I ended with 0 everything and the main thing that gave me trouble were the dragoons.
I wasted 2 rockets, one under the legs of an atlas and the other I went to nuke a spawn and a lone phantom took the rocket.

Yeah. Volus are horrible characters and no matter how many times they prove themselves, there will always be haters...

I'm proVolus

I imagine the people I was playing with on gold earlier wont be kicking volus out very often any more. I think I was the only reason the lot of them didn't go down repeatedly in later waves, what with my ability to refill all their shields at once every few seconds and all.

Same here.   Whenever a teammate or I get tagged by a Banshee ball, I shield boost and laugh.   Once teammates realize what you're doing, they can switch to full offense to take things down faster.

The Volus is a perfect reviver too.  Not only does he have the mini tactical cloak to go in for the revive, but he doesn't suffer from sticking to the walls and wasting the cloak.  And to top it off, I also Shield Boost once the revive is done to give full health and some extra seconds of damage reduction.

I dont think people are kicking because they think they're bad. They're kicking because the *4* volus are taking up slots other begged-for characters could be filling.

I've been a victim of auto kick twice now as a Volus. It definitely isn't my loadout....

Volus Adept and Engineer i could live with. The other two are spots that could have been Salarians, or other female classes (Which is apparently a very hot topic amongst some people). Everyone is well aware that Volus are good support characters. I dont see why 2 wasnt enough though.

[ToaOrka]

People seem to regret kicking Volus when they realize the Volus was all that was keeping them alive.

[Dbohr]

Wait, people are actually auto-kicking Volus players? Sheesh.

I just played a match with friends: one Volus Engineer, one Paladin and two Destroyers. The group ket together for most of the match. The Paladin debuffed everything, the Volus kept our shields regenerating and the two Destroyers ripped everything else. It was... magical. I never felt so tanky with the Destroyer.

Many lulz were had reading this thread.

I support kicking Volus (at the enemy).

That or fastball special-ing them.

Make it happen Bioware!

[Dr. Doctor]

Had a voldept on my team when I was playing as a Fury. Having the volus' orbs setting off explosions the minute they stepped into my annihilation field really tore up the Collectors.
