Exactly, not using the Volus' Shield Boost is like giving the N7 Shadow a Black Widow and skipping the sword abilities: It's missing the character's point. You could play the Volus as a solo character that murders everything and maybe you'll have success, but using Shield Boost for your teammates instead for just yourself is much better.
