I honestly feel opposite on Shock/Overload, since I run a max efficiency build Overload just seems better for stunning enemies, and the damage is alright for most normal missions, though we both know how damage works in higher levels. And the reason I mention Shock's damage is because even for low levels, Shock is lolweak by "first ability" standards.

As for Electric Shield, most people I see actually hog the shield for themselves, even though they can scoot over like a foot and let someone else use it. I will admit that skilled teammates that communicate could probably use a single Electric Shield to great effect, to say nothing of multiple shields.

I still don't feel that Volt brings much to the table for high level missions, however. I'm not saying he's useless, I'm not saying it's impossible for someone to do good with him, it's just that aside from decent Electric Shield, there's frames that could do everything he does better. Concerning Electric Shield it is a decent defensive/offensive skill, but Trinity or Frost can cover defense for a whole team infinitely better, and a Nova (that should pretty much always be on any team in higher levels) covers damage with MPrime while providing solid cc with the slow effect. As for his other skills, Speed helps you pick up the teammates that shouldn't even be going down in the first place, and several frames do CC much better than Volt's 3-4 second stun on his skills, for the same energy. We need not touch on damage, for the Nth time.

One more time, don't let me tell you to stop using Volt, as any frame can get by with a good build and skill, and by God I'm tired of running with 2 Novas and a Rhino every other match, but there are undeniably some frames that are better than others, and Volt just isn't that great. And let me repeat for the final time, Volt can do what Volt does, abd Volt can do helfpul things for a team, but there are a number of other frames can do what Volt does completely better.
