^^^^No, what's unfortunate is that people think that he is terrible because he doesn't focus on power damage. He is fine the way he is because he effectively offsets his innately low damage powers with the versatility of his utility. Yes, he is not the only frame with utility powers, but his are some of the most useful and most unique. I could understand a slight defense buff, but honestly he is not meant to be a tank, nor is he meant to be a nuke. The problem is that people, due in part to his description, expect his Shock to be Zeus' ban hammer. If you really want something like that, then find a new frame. I'm sorry if that sounds mean, but it's the truth.

Also, E-shield should remain as it is, period. I cannot emphasize this enough. Yes, it is a potent power, and it does make up for his lack of damage, but once again, his lack of offensive damage is a non-issue if one has any capability for adapting one's strategy. Again, I'll concede the armor point, but I find that simply raising personal armor and shields stats to offset a weaker and less reliable squad barrier would not be enough and be directed in the wrong direction. And no, simply uping the damage would be just as misguided. I may sound like a grumpy donkey, unwilling to move an inch, but having played Volt for so long it is easy for me to see how balanced he is in the hands of competent people.
