From what you've heard?
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...


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...

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.


-apparently, bioware devs don't think that is the case
-even while they continuously restore your shields?

I'm guessing you'll kick infiltrators with sniper rifles too, huh?

A bowling ball roll melee would be cool though


omg I demand it! I just giggle uncontrollably when I play as this little guy. Its funny as hell when you join in the middle of a match and you run past everyone on your team and they all do a double take. The bowling ball melee would make me laugh even harder.

You're all dumb. The volus adept is the new sniper class. Stasis enemy + TC melee? Has no one else noticed that? On top of that, spec orbs for cool downs and it means you can carry heavy SRs like the widow and get away with it. Use shield boost to get out of sticky situations and your low health as a reminder to cloak often and stay back. Support? Maybe fire support.

Does their TC melee actually increase weapon damage?

I was wandeing about that cloak melee. Does anyone know if you get a damage boost from it? Or is it just a cloak without the damage boost?

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


Oh my goodness that scan mine is awesome! You take out whole groups of Collector troops with them! I really thought Bioware was trolling us with those volus pics, knowing they'd be leaked. I thought that the Volus were a cover for some Prothean kits, but I'm a Volus believer now!

Now that is just a foolish statement.  You are either playing up the troll angle or are just totally unaware if ghe impact that 'support classes' have in this game.

me (n7 fury) a voldept and 2 demolishers just rocked gold collector reactor

voldept is amazing person to have on a team, instant shield restore, the tact cloak stays on long enough to revive teammates and it sets off BE's

used in the right hands, major asset

I love how everyone says "from what I heard you're doing it wrong" - why don't you play the ****ing class first instead of basing your comments on what you've heard.

Something tells me kicking them would be doing them a favor, OP.

Every class has its niche.

 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...



So you don't like a character with shield healing abilities that can keep your squad up? :blink:

I don't know, I saw some videos and volus really feels out of place, and the fact that such an squishy character can't take cover makes them too vulnerable, since you will need to completely expose yourself in order to attack an enemy.

Hmn.

Stasis
30-40% faster cooldowns
0-45% extra damage to enemies in 3 meters
1200ish damage very quickly in 3 meters
Heals shields better and faster than the Geth Engineer while granting DR

Yes, clearly, he is a flop.
