 Having unlocked this in my first PSP, I can honestly say...

What a waste!

Health is non-existent and is barriers are only sleightly better than the drell's.
His powers are so pitifully weak its beyond a joke. All of this from an ultra rare?

In short, I can honestly, hand on heart and with peace of mind now say...

"Ha, told you so!"

If I see anyone in my lobbies running this crap I will kick them or if I'm the random I will just leave.
Like I've said from tbe begining, no commander in thier right mind would ever put a Volus on the front lines. Ever...

The fact that they have the turians fight for them should tell you that.

And before I get flamed for not even trying it, I did.
They can't even take cover ffs and melee... Forget about it as it doesn't exist.

Minor TC for light melee and some pityable shield bubble for heavy...
If we had to have them, why on earth make them an UR?
What a kick in the balls...

Apparently they don't behave as regular UR cards. They seem to drop more frequently so they can be maxed out quicker... But that's a bit of a moot point since they keep dropping instead of stopping at six at the moment. Probably a glitch.

Please, he's a waste of space. Biotic Dets that dont even kill a basic trooper are a fail.

Come back once you've actually played as one.
Short enough to hide behind cover, sure... Just tall enough to get shot in the head too while doing it...

This. It doesn't matter how little health they have when they can instantly heal their shields every 2 seconds.

Er, you kind of ARE doing it wrong...

THe volus adept appears to be a total support character....Bioware as even flat out said that it is NOT supposed to be a frontline fighter...

[Yoshiyuki Ly]

I value your opinion as a poster, OP. Still, I have to reserve judgment until I play one. I was skeptical as soon as I saw the kit.

this.

+ the cloak can be used to reload cancel. 

[Akruze]

The volus are for support roles. They aren't made for killing stuff or tanking.
And so...

[FeralJester616]

Right, works in theory. In practice you'll be dead before the cooldown is finished.

[GreyLycanTrope]

Volus are meant to be a pure support class, from what the devs say. Keep him out of the direct line of fire, he there for backup not to lead the charge.

[Bon3zz1001]

Use your passives. IE: Light / Heavy Melee.

You do realize that Bioware designed them to be A SUPPORT class?

We wanted to expand on the available races to something less conventional to represent the continuing state of the war. We also wanted to build a pure support class, it's something we've seen requested more then a few times, and the Volus were an interesting opportunity to build a very non-traditional character with a power suite built around staying out of front line combat and an emphasis about boosting team score over personal score.

[Big Bad]

Every other person who has tried this kit and posted about it seems to disagree with you, OP. That said, I will reserve judgment until I get a chance to use him.

[saintjimmy43]

I'm pretty sure a biotic god CANT be a flop, so...you're doing it wrong.

Maybe if the other characters stopped nudging you in the back and making you fall over...

And that is why I'll be kicking any volous I see... Its a frontline game, we are ment to take the brunt.
Volous can't and I refuse to acompany them to their inevitable deaths.

You said "In short" ...

Apparently you didn't notice, but a Volus isn't exactly the twin brother of a Kroguard.

[WildHog70]

I've tried mine out on silver. It was very fun. Biotic spheres keeps your cool downs low for stasis. Shield regeneration is there for support. All the Volus are support roles that are very fun to play. Honestly, the low health/meh shields are really not a problem with Shield Restoration.

Edit: All of the Volus are support, but the two released are very fun.

As stated by one of the mods who seems to be on the dev team, they are not a front line class. PURE SUPPORT class.

A bowling ball roll melee would be cool though

[DopedGoat84]

His 4 orbs trigger biotic explosions...!! He's about support not all out assault. Seriously he's awesome with a Reave bot.

For Solo just take Stasis bubble and orb everything that lands in it.

For me right now im really enjoying the Engineer, these mines are awesome lol
