You find that you lack ammo with the Raider ?
50/50 chance of me using it all up on gold. Plat there´s a 90% chance for that.
I love the build, but I'd recommend taking recharge speed on the carnage so the cooldown is more managable
The CD as is fits nicely with my rhythm, namely shoot -> reload hide through flamer -> shoot -> detonate and reload hide with carnage -> shoot -> repeat the cycle.
Not optimal, not Krogan either with no Melee or Claymore/Graal, etc, but it's fairly fun to play. You can tweak the build as needed. I tend to not use Grenade Spam until bosses really start to show up, relying on Tech Burst and Fire explosions from a single grenade. You lean heavily on Carnage. The Venom reliably staggers, allowing you to have a longer cooldown and protects you from Cerberus and the Geth.
I know it's heresy, and I usually follow up playing this character with my full melee KroSent just to feel "right", but it's pretty effective even without 'nade spam.
He already has a Falcon punch, no need for Batglove, the Bat punch only slows him down. And I use the 50% no CD chance myself on all Vanguard except the Novaguard. Also, the Cyclonics doesn't help him much and no Shrapnel on Clusters is a sacrilege punished by death in the Empire.
*Looks at thread title*
I guess I'm not having any fun then.
To be honest...the novelty of the bat glove does wear out pretty fast... after 2 matches with it on the volus protector... I was over it .....
I do find it quite amusing when I see someone using it on an asari or quarian
Though quite a while ago the last build i found(and still find) incredibly fun is mele AIU, both her mele is brilliant - very fast, precise and has high dmg, with no drawbacks as for example with the asari heavy.
She is fast and agile, great dodge.
She is everything i wanted the shadow to be.

Of course not. Not in my lobby [ x ]

Don't let the supremists stop the Glorious Fire Explosions of the Krogan Soldier. XAN complained about me having an acolyte sidearm on him with a typhoon main gun(Instead of a shotgun), so I went full pyjak, he now has Acolyte and Hurricane. One of the best anti-armour characters in the game. Trivializes Reapers on Gold.
so I went full pyjak
Read about it months ago, respeced but then never tried the build. Untill now.
Should have tried it straight away.

Why not go full way and take HWB on Claymore? It's the way I play my HFA and I never had problems with cooldowns... she can still do BEs regularly.

Personal choice because sometimes (very rarely), while playing offhost, the HVB works as intended and makes the cooldowns actually longer. And if that happens the different cooldowns annoy me to nearly ragequit levels. I try to avoid that.
Also the red lights on the black Claymore look better the default ones. ^^
The Brofist Jugg does not work and is not incredibly fun.
I decided to do something different with my volus mercenary build.
Inspired by this guy's volus mercenary build video.
It's pretty scary and cool at the same time, he has almost the same ideas I had when I was using the volus mercenary. One of them I didn't think of was not speccing into combat drone which I was a bit skeptical of and was tempted to try it out and turns out it's not half bad way of speccing the VMS.
It's not everyday I get to see someone who decided to go for duration on shield boost when the majority would've picked protection. Duration is quite nice against DoT attacks from atlas rockets and banshee warps.
Not to say this will be the definitive spec of the volus mercenary. It's definitely viable with or without combat drone. Combat drone is extra CC, but you can live without it if you want. Because it means less things to decide between managing when and where to use combat drone.
Will say using this particular spec makes it a lot easy on yourself and makes this a lot more simpler way of playing the volus mercenary. Which basically playing with your double cloak, putting decoy in front of a group of enemies and pick them off, while keeping yourself alive with shield boost.
I thought blasphemy would've been a better way of putting it. But it works so, if one wanted to forego the combat drone and use only the decoy because it's certainly a lot more tanky than the combat drone and given how enemies can't aim properly at the decoy either whilst having innate damage reduction.
And against geth bombers and rocket troopers are the ones can actually kill the decoy reliably out of the 20+ other enemies in the entire game itself.

It's true that if you don't use an exploding drone the decoy clearly does the sames job as drone, so taking extra shields is a good idea, he can really get super tanky with all the invulnerability frames + the shield boost + 1500 shields
Nothing new, but in general is it regarded as annoying when the Adas is used? It's been a while since I've seen it in action, so I can't really recall, but I've been thinking about using it on a few kits (cryo solder, QFE to name a few).

I don't find it annoying. So long as you keep that thing pointed at the Phantoms, its all good.

Yes, it is annoying, the damned thing gives me headaches. ESPECIALLY on marksman kits. I'll take constant biotic booms or cryo explosions any day, but that thing drills right into my skull.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I have seen him put this combo into action several times......it's dope. specially against cerberus ....bodies flying every where.
Piranha GI. I didn't like that staple gun ... until now.
This was so much fun. Charging in and spraying bullets. Wonder how cool this would be in ME2 considering that revenant is my favorite weapon in that game. Hmmm.

Depends if half an hour of pressing spacebar is worth the three minutes of combat you'll get for it...

ME2 and its combat makes it worth atleast one try.
Half an hour of pressing space bar...pfff. Gibbed puts me within a couple of minutes of reloading any mission with a revenant vanguard.

Fair enough, which battle are you reloading the most you find?
I always think back to Horizon as the first time I had problems surviving. First Praetorian felt a magnitude of order more difficult. (Which I suppose it was.)
I still want an Oculus in MP on Plat.
