Well to play devil's advocate...  people have long been going on "the game is about dps".  
So really, are more shields worthwhile?  Given shieldgate is flakey, and even another 4000 shields melts like butter up a pyro's arse - wouldnt it be better to have a dps character rather than a walking shield generator?



On the other side, a friend was playing both volus sorts, and i like the fact i can fire over the top without impeeding my LoS .   Ditto my Slayer getting more phase disrupters off the cute little guy.

Volus are great. I'm not a big fan of the race but in multiplayer they're very helpful. Just played a game with a Volus engineer. Constantly boosting my shields and throwing out recon mines.

People don't kick volus because of Lore.

They kick them because they suck at killing enemies, in a general "randoms being random" sense.  We've gotten along fine without a medic for six months.  Getting a support class won't change the fact that people who keep dying all the time SHOULD LEARN TO STOP DYING ALL THE TIME!!!!

Having a volus on your team only means one thing, that you have 25% less firepower.

 this thread still kicking? No pun intended

Volus are support specialists almost a medic class with their heal and cloak abilities, if working as a co-ordinated team they are a great asset especially during objective rounds and I think are necessary for platinum. However they do suck if someone rubbish is controlling them

Volus are so underpowered

Their roll should stagger anything. That way dragoons can *deep breath* ... taste my greatness.

I will roll. Like the great biotic wind. *deep breath* And stagger everything.

I've only had two games with Volus players so far, but both times they kicked ass and ended up with lots of points.

Just like every other character, it's all about the player. I see no reason to kick someone just for playing a particularly character, any character, sight unseen.

if played correctly with recon mine and proximity mine I'm pretty sure overall a volus engineer in your team means more fire power. I was playing mine on gold and we were ripping through scions and praetorian for fun. Plus everyone's shields were full. I love the engineer

Volus teammates make hacks and escort missions waaaaay easier. As in, they turn them into of a breeze.

Sorry, I don't autokick Voli. I kick them manually. But if there is such a script or addon to auto-kick Volus and it's legal, then I'm certainly interrested.

I was pretty much agnostic on the volus question but now I've played with several -- I love the little guys. Little disappointed in the voice. The lines are great but the voice is just . . . not quite right.

[Conderious]

I just hate the volus cause of their role. what was it again about the infiltrators being nerfed was a good thing... no class should be a jack of all traits. Being a medic, dpsing the crap out of things, and being able to solo objectives and now they release the volus which is probably the best all around character being able to do all those things. now with group heal, non cooldown tac cloak for revives and objectives and which ever power either mine or pseudo biotic grenades to debuff for supplemental damage output. This is just ridiculous. just another guy to kick from platinum matches along with slayers, shadows, and pheonix.

[Spiffspoo]

To be fair, the shield thing bugs me out so that I can't fire or use a power and they are always at the bottom of the scores...

I still don't think you should kick them.

[Uh Cold]

Volus are capable of greatness.
