Oh sorry I thought you were talking about Shield Boost Rank 5, not Volus Training vs. Shield Boost. I think recharge speed is more important than shields restored (Shield Boost Rank 5). Because the Volus’s shields are so low, you don’t really need the Rank 6 evolution as well. If you want to be altruistic and consider your teammates with more shields, go for it :) But you have to sacrifice other things which aren’t ideal.

Yes but at the sacrifice of a faster recharge speed. The damage reduction doesn’t do very much if you’re playing gold/platinum – what you really need is to constantly boost your shields.

The only reason I’ve ever seen anyone banned for missile glitching is when someone reports them to bioware. I have a ton of friends who missile glitch in private matches and they are all fine.

Agreed. That upgrade puts them together with Volus Engineer Recon Mine + Proximity Mine when both upgraded for +Damage Taken.

Taking down Atlases, Banshees and Praetorians is cake walk for the teammates if you stack the debuff.

So is missile glitching, but I’ve never seen anyone banned for that, either. Also, I don’t see how Bioware could ban people for the 6/6/6/6/6 build – it doesn’t earn you extra credits and it doesn’t affect anyone else in your game/lobby (like the missile glitch). I’m willing to risk it.

I was going to try doing that, but… Isn’t that considered a bannable exploit?
