There's mine. One of the best tanks in the game if you know what you're doing. Two cloak cycles on the Volus one that is activated during normal movement and another that can be activated while sprinting; both are on separate CD cycles so you can use this knowledge to be cloaked pretty much all the time. Shield boost gives you 90% DR and rolling the fatty gives you an additional DR value as well which makes him effectively unkillable unless you are staggered or stunned and cannot activate shield boost or you're off host and shield boost doesn't go off. I like warp rounds personally and shooting things in the face and ignoring bosses for the most part, incendiary is another good choice though as is the CSMG to apply ammo powers at minimum CD cost and set up FEs.

I invented that build!

This thread actually inspired me to play a game with this character last night.  66660 build.  I hadn't played this character in ages.  How soon after casting Stasis should you be able to launch an orb?  I kept running into an issue where I would seemingly get locked out of orbs.  I wasn't the host though.

Orbs, Swarms, Siege Pulses, etc, all suffer from enforced delays off host. Not just with themselves, but with pretty much everything else too. Never run characters based around timely use of these abilities off host, just file them away with vanguards.

 

EDIT: Random off-host cooldown shenanigans also can block such powers.

I first thought it was animation related, but I tried animation canceling it to see if that would help, and couldn't seem to make a difference that way.  It probably was in fact latency related since the delay after casting a power then being able to launch an orb seemed variable.  Host ~1200mi from me.

 

For throwing multiple orbs, I assumed it was a difference in when the host actually figured out that the previous orb had impacted, which made it hard to really stack more than a 30% debuff at once.

 

Ah well, the orb spam was a little more fun than I remembered even though I was pretty annoyed at times in that game (Geth).

Which adds about 10ms compared to them being next door to you

Yes, I have a fiber optic cable stretched directly to their house, and the signal doesn't need repeated.

That's still some of the best advice I've seen for volus. I forget where I saw it first but it makes a disgustingly huge difference.

Didn't know that. How much?

[Ahglock]

I need to learn how to volus. I just die instantly.

Impressive hostility, thank you

Generally I think it's 0.50 for all characters, not positive. I do remember there is some differences in the periods of how long the DR lasts as well but that could correlate with the evade animations.

Keep Shield Boost DR up. Avoid grenades. Use both cloaks to shed aggro. Use love bubble if Shield Boost is on Cooldown and you can't dodge.

Yeah I didn't realize they could cloak until yesterday. Now remembering to use the abilities is the hard part.

Ok...

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

You're all wrong.

 

35666 is the way to go.

 

Don't forget to equip Batarian Gauntlet, though.

 

 

 

It's very bad if you use that build and then forget to equip Batarian Gauntlet.

No.

 

VolDept is excellent weapons platform. VolSent (On paper) is a good melee Volus due to (on paper!) pet distractions. VolGuard is my BatGlove of Volus of choice though due to Biotic Charge HateSurfing.

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

No.

 

Yes.

[Arkhne]

Yes.

 

No. Not enough hatesurf!

My build allows me to punch things in the nuts, therefore it is objectively the best build.

 

 

I should do like Boogie and keep track of victories!

Right away... oh wait, you mean you don't take bonus power?

[DisturbedPsic0]

Pretty sure he meant throw orbs you already have up, which bonus power doesn't help with. Also, ew for evos that aren't consistent.
