The radius for this ability is not accurate on the targeting circle that appears - the damage will actually extend out about a meter or so more outwards.

This has to be one of my favorite powers so far. WOW! It will take down normal mobs 3 - 5 at a time. Just make sure to place the targeting in the best possible location to maximize the kill count.

I think many Vanguard tanks forget about this ability while AoE tanking. While you have to extend the target reticle out a little further, the range (as was said by scartissue) is much wider than it appears, so it will still hit the mobs that are in your face, and it can produce very high aggro due to the high damage. While it's not 360 degrees, it is like a conal AoE. I haven't read up on the opinions and actual Ops reports out there, but I could imagine this being in a Vanguard's standard boss rotation for Ops due to its very high damage (and therefore high threat).

If you open combat with a sticky grenade and follow with Volley it is usually enough to solo most world elites. This ability makes soloing content very easy.

This ability has a 45 second cooldown, but it will be a staple while levelling as either AC, it can clear out entire groups of standard enemies on its own, and remains the strongest AoE ability for all troopers throughout their careers.
