"I regularly outdid my teammates on T3 survival."

And I regularly out-damage Novas and Rhinos while using Excalibur, because I have good guns. The damage boost from Electric Shield is nice, but it's not massive, and that shield is NOT big enough to cover multiple teammates. Offensively yes, two people could shoot through it; defensively, it's too damn small for anyone but Volt himself.

As for Volt's other skills, Shock is piss damage with the ability to stun a few enemies for ~3 seconds, while Excalibur's Slash Dash is slightly less piss damage, with the utility of essentially teleporting ~30m ahead with the right mods, and the ability to hit and stagger everyone you pass (whether it's 3 or 30 enemies you pass, you'll hit them all). Speed is a decent team buff, but it's only really useful in Survival if you're about to run out of oxygen and there's air packs across the whole map (which you shouldn't have left behind in the first place), in other game types it usually just scatters the team that should be staying together, or you're playing Defense and hardly moving. Overload's damage is negligible for T3 Void, and before you mention the 4 second stun, remember that Excalibur has the best CC ability in the game for half the energy.

I repeat, I love playing as Volt, but he doesn't offer much to a team in higher leveled missions.
