Got the Merc/Sent both the way I want em. Can do plats and have a good time. But I haven't spent much time with the Adept. Looking for a couple builds to try and more importantly why you think it works. (Platinum-level build if that impacts your suggestion.)

 

Cheers :wizard:

I can facetank prime duo's on platinum with my Volsent better than my juggernaut/paladin can with a cycIV. Volus Heavy Melee is freaking OP, and no one whines about it. You're even immune to banshee balls. Redawnqueueless. Not a hard sell.

 

My one concern is, no stasis bubble? I haven't specced not-bubble in like, two years. Is it even possible anymore? If I try to click it I think I might literally be unable too and will somatically click the opposite. It's like when I take grenadier kits and pretend I'm actually going to take grenade gear V but instead find myself in a GIP with Geth Scanner. I tell myself I'm okay with it.

I'll save you some time: the build doesn't matter as long as it has a Saber

The only way I would play it if it had a lightsaber

6/6/6/6/6 - hot pink armour - eagle - warp ammo - and a hell of a lot of ramp rolling.

^ Nice. But Warp Ammo is no good on him (he has no biotic priminng powers outside of stasis). So maybe switch it to Incindiary, unless maybe mooks on Gold are your focus.

 

Also. Bonus power for Stasis & Recharge rate on Shield boost.

But, but, I like warp ammo :(

Just playing the percentages, nearly every plat match I join has at least 2 adepts these days. (PUGs are becoming self-aware, the end is nigh!)

It's how I roll.

And roll.

0/6/6/6/6, Orbs for recharge speed, weapon damage in passives, and equip a real gun, and go to town (I use Typhoon, because my VolSent gets the Saber, but it's all preference as long as Shield boost is under 6 second recharge with rank 6 Protection). Admittedly, Stasis Bubble would probably work wonders on Phantoms, I just like having my little round badarse with a machine gun. My friend who mains Volus runs PPRX on him.

Good suggestion there Kenny. Hoochiehamiltoe's build there is not only impressive by itself : it also underwrites a build that is beneficial to more than one player. (As opposed to being a medic or a save the day hero loner)

This is a character you essentially never see in games, and for good reason though.

Nope, sorry..no stasis bubble.. I prefer the Vulnerability evo on rank 6..makes the biotic orbs hit the stasis-ed mook harder...wiping them out....with the recharge speed where its at...The biotic splosions on mooks comes really fast....like if fighting cerberus...run into a spawn..and just stasis-orb  ..repeat...it's really fast & racks up the kills extremely fast

Build

 

I like incendiary ammo for fire explosions on armor, but you can use extended mag instead of piercing mod and either APIV or Drill III if you want. I strictly use this guy with orbs for debuff and detonators.  As with all Volus, you should be using cloak to stay invisible for basically the whole game, so it's actually pretty easy to survive with this guy, especially considering bosses don't have as much burst damage as trooper units (since you want Platinum builds), which is what really hurts this guy.

^^^ This works. I prefer the Reegar on him though with a power recharge consumable as opposed to a lighter weapon you can kill fast and if you shield boost right before you go confront an enemy you are nearly invincible. This is what I did with my Volus Adept Platinum solo to survive being in front of large boss enemies.

i m pretty sure orbs damage is mostly useles, so their main use is a bit of recharge speed  and the expose evo imo.

I see The NightMan Cometh has 0.33 s gain on SB with 4 orbs, i still think expose for a 1.45 damage multiplier is better (3 orbs)

 

For passive i m not sure a bit more shield on SB is usefull either, and at least, it s less usefull than 5b imo.

edit : lol, no HS bonus, so both 5th evo are quite close

Yeah no Expose, no bang. 45% debuff is money

I was going to post almost an identical build.  I generally don't like playing Volus, but this guy is alright.  Stasis vulnerability really works well for him, and using Orbs to detonate fire explosions works great for taking out enemies.
