[quote]You can't really compare the two though, I'm pretty sure if a warlock throws a nade and then comes down and melees you, even if you have a max armor titan you won't survive. And the warlock would walk away with a shield...[/quote] Same can be said for any class. My point is while yes, it takes two charges, both can be used simultaneously and the effect is greater then ANY combo in the game. The shield is 50 hp. Any melee, grenade, 1 bullet from high impact hand cannons/scouts, and 1 pulse will break it no problem.
