Volus are great, fastest BC in the game. Combine that with cloaking and heavy melee and you can tank like a novaguard off-host. Acolyte + priming ammo allows them to do decent damage also with a very fast combo turnaround.

The Cabal is no where near the worst vanguard in the game. I want to like it, but just feel like a big ALMOST. Posion strike is just an ill-concieved power, not much you can do about it.

The stupid range thing and target limit really lowers the utility of nightshade blades, which would be a decent power otherwise. Similarly, BF is basicly a weak version of shield boost and as replacement form the restore on BC, 40% doesn't really cut it. The melee build is gimped by the incredibly stupid "poison melee" thing. Then end result of all that is she isn't really survivable enough in CQC. She makes an above average gun platform, but your basicly a crappy Hsol then.

Drell, Asari and Phoenix are basicly all just crummy versions of the adept, although you can melee build the Asari, which is kinda useful at least. Drell or Phoenix would probably be the worst.

All suck. Off-host.

I'll go with Asari. Mainly because I hate Asari. But also because the Asariguard lacks this certain something to me.

Also, big lol at the guys who say the cabal sucks.

Sub 3second biotic charge? Ignore SB, spec the orbs for recharge and leave them on. Between that, your heavy melee and cloaking, you are very, very difficult to kill. use a BatGlove for the luls if yuou want. It's basicly like playing a novaguard, but alot easier to do off-host.

One of the better volus kits really.

That is a good question. Well, I guess if you play a Novaguard without Nova it probably feels the same...

EDIT: I just read that the creator of this wonderful comparison thinks that a Drellguard is the worst Vanguard.
There you were, having credibility... AAAAAAAAND IT'S GONE.
Seriously, a Novaguarding Volus and all but the Drell is bad... riiiight.

Anyway, Imma have to jump to the Phoenix's defense here. He ain't the worst. He's far from it.

You post better than anyone else on this board, your opinion is again correct Mark.

Give me any Vanguard over the Volus. He simply doesn't offer the same damage output that other Vanguards do. Sure, he has his uses and hate surfing is funny, but I just don't like using him. I'm no fan of the Phoenix either, but I think he's pretty underrated.

OMG I put Reegar X the Volguard is so good!
HIS SURVIVABILITY IS TERRIBAD
