Volus Engineers are awesome. They have one of the most powerful best powers in the game, and with their low health they need it. It is not over powered, if anything underpowered considering their low health. You can cloak and be cloaked much of the time you play. I doubt you get a bonus like infiltrators but you can also fire powers or weapons and not decloak so it is a fairly nice trade off. The prox mine has a faster cool down then the recon mine but they are almost the same power otherwise. Recon mines have one of the highest damage and widest radius of attack of any power but the cool down is pretty slow at about 7 seconds with the prox mine less than half that. Volus stands low and can not take cover, but because he is so low in stature he does not really need to either. The two volus class I have trouble understanding are the volus vanguard and volus sentinel because if volus is meant for support then how do you explain those classes? Those are not support classes. I would have to expect both of them to have higher health than the other 2 volus because those classes will inevitably put them in more hazardous situations. The adept is ok with a good statis power. On the other hand, I have heard numerous complaints that the volus shield boost power is bugged and actually causes some allies to sometimes not be able to use powers which is closer to what the collector swarms do.

There's a volus Sentinel, not Soldier.

I kind of hate playing a volus, personally. However, I have seen some people who are decent at them. It just takes time I guess.

[Iron Spetsnaz]

Haven't got any Volus yet, but when I do unlock one, I won't play as one because they don't suit my playstyle, which is to kill mooks with my Rifle

BTW my characters are Specced to maximum weapon damage and maximum health and shields

Volus have similar health and shields to a Geth character, but slightly less.

I just unlocked the Volus Engineer, he's pretty cool, different to what i expected but in a good way. I wouldn't dare take him toe-to-toe with bosses but as far as support goes, i can help out soo much more with him than with any other character. Recon, de-buffs AND shield restoring! What's not to love?!

[Now if only the store would let me have each of the other new charcters to try out :/ ]

[GaryMaple]

I can dig the Volus and their combat roll for sure. Wish the spoiled vanguard power set was a little different though, but I can't complain.

I know it's a very VERY long shot, but I'm also kind of hoping there's a playable Collector kit coming down the pipeline one of these days. Cuz you know... Leviathans and all. (deus ex machina those insectoids into packs por favor)

[The fool you should have eaten]

The biggest gripe that I have now, seeing as Bioware put them in game and there is nothing that I can do about that, is the fact that they will eat up my UR's. I just got one today. I don't really want/ care about having a maxed manifest. I just want to have some level of each gun and character available to me, and UR character cards prolong that process. Oh well.

[GreatBlueHeron]

Totally awesome addition. I lol'd the first time I saw one and luckily I pulled the engineer today. You got me playing this game again. Thanks Bioware!

[JayCally80]

Really love the engineer but the volus need a little tweak. I don't like that they can't crouch into cover. He can't shoot over cover which is fine but his head sticks over just enough to get shot. Being able to get into cover would be great.

Recon Mine could use a little bit of a damage boost. I think its fine on bronze and silver but in gold/platinum it feels a little weak. Not a big buff, just a small one.

I love how quick they are on their feet and roll really well. lol Dodges really well. Love him.

[vonSlash]

I would have greatly preferred that Volus not be added into MP at all, but if they absolutely had to be included, the way they were designed is definitely the right way to do it.

[over_9000]

I love it when a Volus Engineer revives me. They usually revive me and then add up to it with a shield boost. It's . . . magnificent.

VOLUS ARE DA BEST !!!!

At first I was pissed off with lore butchering, but I think the MP team did a good job justifying them. They're clearly not front line fighters, but since they're all space banker billionaires, they can afford state of the art technology and serve as support troops.

The engineer makes more sense than the adept though. The volus adept feels abit too much meme pandering in a "lol chuck norris" style, esp with the "godly biotic abilities" in the description.

love the volus engineer - best support character EVAR (so far) =)

[Severyx]

Volus on the front lines just strikes me as backwards. I wasn't aware they were combat capable at an infantry level -at all-.

If this was meant to be a humorous addition, then you've succeeded, as I laughed for quite some time when I saw the first volus on the battlefield.

[MasterRed_ko7]

They are hilarious to see in battle, but they are surprisingly effective in support, and it is interesting that there is now a "Healing" class in the game. It could lead to other things, who knows?

Also... it's so freaking funny that they can turn invisible instead of melee. It makes sense, since they are so weak, but it's still pretty funny. XP

You mean like healing nurse Vorcha class with mini skirt nurses dress on with optional red lipstick?

Biotic WIND!!!

Actually, I want the engineer

[thedosbox]

I've been kicked from a lobby after the game for playing volus. Guess they didn't like the low score

It would be nice if the recon mine had a slightly quicker cooldown, but other than that, the only complaint I have is the lack of recognition on the scoreboard.

[QU67]

I did better than a Phoenix as a Volus Engineer. I love them so much!

[Der Ivan91]

AT LAST we got our "Biotic god" lol

I only feel sorry that you guys didn't name his passive abilitiy (the one that enhances power damage) "Biotic wind" lol

[whitzend]

Having played as the Volus Engineer, he's a great little support guy. One problem I found though is he can't climb or roll up a low wall to pick up some of the canisters lol very frustrating when everyone else is busy fending off aliens and here you are just rolling against a low wall to pick up the canister,impossible ( was on Vancouver map).

One question I have is:
Does his shielding power bother the players? Does it interfere with any of their powers? I wouldn't want to stand near someone who is sniping and protect him if it botches anything.

I was SO HAPPY when I heard there was a Volus adept in the initial game release as a hidden character. I was SO SAD when I learned that was a rumor.

I was SO HAPPY when I heard they were gonna be added into multiplayer. I was SO SAD when there was an massive thread where 50% of the people were raging over the addition of the Volus.

I was SSSOOOO HAPPY when ultimately people really liked them once they got their hands on them... even many of the haters.

I think I'm a bi-polar nerd

So... the Volus are essientially a hybrid of Tony Stark and Samwell Tarly (from Game of Thrones)?
