Plus: ShieldPolarize can be used from quite a distance away as long as you have line-of-sight with the pod. I frequently use it 3/4 distance away from the map, no need to stand next to the pod.

Minus: Max out shieldpolarize and Focus refill 50-60% of pod shield. It does not heal the Health.

Minus: 1 sec casting animation which you cannot do any other thing. (Enemies can still attack you!)

Minus: cost 50en. Use 3 times and you are out of energy.

Minus: its not easy to target teammates when they are being swarmed, which is when they need shieldpolarize the most.

The usefulness is highly situational. Like if your teammate are all high level guys with 600-800+ shields (honestly if they are able to level up to that level, they know how to take cover to recharge their shield. AKA dont really need your help). Or you are fighting grineer corpus boss with shield.
