I’m secretly hoping he spins around ala Sonic the Hedgehog before his biotic charge ;)

Haha I get you. It’s too much fun!
I’ll make my Volus Protector bright pink just for lola. Pink Ball of Doom!

I also thought it was based on what everyone wanted – basically saving the Volus Protector for last to ensure that people kept playing :) I also can’t wait for the Drell Assassin and Volus Protector – I already love playing Platinum with a full Volus team, it will be awesome if there are little balls of Volus zooming around too!

BioWare have a weird chain of release based on class/race, and I’ve been trying to identify if there’s a pattern or they’re just sorting it randomly (I’m pretty sure it’s the later). I also considered the release being in order of fan demand, but I’m not so sure about this.

Let’s take a look on the order classes were released, not counting the 4 initial that were released when Retaliation was launched (Turian Havoc/Ghost and Volus Adept/Engineer).

1 – Adept (Krogan Shaman)
2 – Sentinel (Asari Valkyrie)
3 – Vanguard (Batarian Brawler)
4 – Soldier (Geth Trooper)
5 – Engineer (Vorcha Hunter)
6 – Sentinel (Volus Mercenary)
7 – Infiltrator (Asari Huntress)
8 – Soldier (Quarian Marksman)
9 – Engineer (Turian Saboteur)

My guess is that next week we’ll see the Batarian Slasher, since we haven’t got any Adept since Krogan Shaman; but I’m also placing some bets on the Drell Assassin. It’s sad,

I wanted the Volus Protector so badly. Like you said, he’ll be nearly invincible. Fast cooldown recharge with Biotic Orbs, damage reduction with Shield Boost and invincibility frames with Biotic Charge (and extra damage reduction from it). Pretty beastly.

Also I have a bad feeling they will nerf the hell out of the volus protecter, which sucks because he is the character I want the most.
On another note I finally got my asari valkeryie today, she is actually not that bad but I still need to experiment with her. So far im loving her amazing cqb potential, warp is slow but I mainly use it onthe big stuff. Also loving the at-12 shotgun.
