I maxed all 5 of my valkeryies and huntress skills, and both characters are alot of fun. I really want my drell assassin maxed, he is an amazing character and I love setting up a room or area of death with him. Just keep the mine on with the damage buff and speed decrease and stay in the radius, with his already crazy speed and kungfu moves its like watching a fight in the matrix.

In reply to Valhalen. I love the Batguard! I reckon the Volguard is a class that will become better with experience. The Volguard is also not meant to be used the same way as other vanguards, the hint is in the protector part of the name. He is a fast response medic, you see a teammate go down, you charge into the nearest group of enemies, pick them up and watch their backs until you link up with the rest of your squad. He doesnt have a bio combo because he isnt meant to be offensive.

I think if your game plan involves holding an area (Rio/Platinum), then the Volus Engineer is your best Volus. Nothing’s better than a teammate that can restore everyone’s shields and drop a recon mine to boost all damage. I’d love to get some players other than randoms. Gamertag = Rabbid Goats and DUMBSQUIRRELS

In reply to slacksculpter3. Yeah, I understand that point. Volus Vanguard is fun to use, but nothing exceptional. Batarian Brawler and Krogan Battlemaster are pretty much the only viable Vanguards for Gold and Platinum. Well, Male Human is too, but he's very gear dependent.

The Volus Vanguard is not supposed to be awesome or the best Vanguard ever. He’s nice because he’s a really offensive Volus character, unlike his other counterparts. Like the Volus Engineer, he can hold on his own just fine.

I find him good to use with other Vanguards. Charge and then Shield Boost to keep the squad up. But yeah, he’s not fantastic, but still fun. I still prefer the Volus Adept for Stasis with Level 6 Bubble, great to keep non-armored enemies under control.

I played the volus vanguard and did preety good with it. the trick is to keep the weight down. at 200 he can charge almost constantly. lets face it, charging is why you play a vanguard. But I never use the vanguard class above silver.

In reply to girlplaysgame. Yes- Orbs are a detonator, not a primer. And since his base shields are the same as a human's, but his base health is so poor he's basically a fragile Novaguard without the Nova. Why did I think this class was going to be so good...?

In reply to Minion4D. Yes, sabotage is worthless. I never spec into sabotage because it rarely backfires weapons and even more rarely hijacks enemies. So is it for sure that the volguard can't do its own biotic explosions? I thought I was doin it wrong :)

Awesome! The volguard is sweet, and the drell assassin is a stealth beast! I wish volguard could self combo, shame his orbs dont set up explosions. The assassin is alot of fun though, I soloed with him on a silver and I was untouchable, he is a pro at setting up kill zones in places with lots of cover like the containers on rio. The batguard is a character I have grown to love, but the batdept looks a tad weaksauce. Does anyone else here think sabotage is rubbish?
