During the past couple of weeks, in XBox360 ME3 MP play-action, I have heard people complain about the "uselessness" of the Volus Mercenary and his Decoy power. I have read similar complaints on the BSN.

In defense of the Volus Mercenary, I must say that I am very happy with him. In a Firebase Hydra / Reapers / Platinum mission that I played on Friday, one Banshee spent her entire life screaming at my VM's Decoy, until she died from my team's attacks. It was hilarious; not once did she turn her attention toward us!

On Saturday, in a Firebase Glacier / Cerberus / Gold mission, my VM's Decoy kept three Phantoms pre-occupied at the top of the stairs, while my team and I completed the "We are just waiting down here for you to kill us" Hack / Upload objective at the bottom of the stairs.

What is additionally most-excellent is, while the enemies are trying to kill my Decoy, I then cast my Combat Drone. So, the enemies take electrical-damage from my Decoy, and they take missile-damage from my Combat Drone, and that is 1-3 fewer enemies that are available to attack my team and me. In my ME3 experience, having 1-3 fewer enemies attacking us, a couple of times per wave, makes a hugely-positive difference during the chaos of Gold missions and Platinum missions.

I guess that each player has a different experience. But for me, as long as I cast the Decoy before the enemies see me, then the decoy works perfectly.
