Is it just me, or does the thrown shield attack always seem to do negligible damage? It knocks them down fine, but a normal tap with my quick melee will kill an enemy while the thrown attack generally just seems to knock them down, despite the wall/air attack seeming to have the most damage out of all of them. Even the other attacks, like the slide, seem to do better.

Just now on a 10-15 infested survival alert with a simple non-catalyzed corrosive build, I noticed this. Knock down ancients over and over with the thing, but if I were to go up an ancient and hit it with a regular strike, it'd go down in one, despite the damage presumably being less.

Earlier, on my first mission using it (MR 22, can't remember if I managed to get corrosive on there at that point) on Saturn - infested again - I seemed to be able to knock plenty down, but it was more like juggling than actually taking them out. I "knocked down" a mutalist osprey and it just flew sky high (staying alive as it did), which was hilarious because I did it a few times in a row to one osprey, but otherwise, had no real effect.
