Soldier feels...weak

All of the above. There are like 4 weapons worthy of your time in the entire multiplayer. With the others you are better off punching stuff

Use the raptor sniper rifle like an assault rifle and you may enjoy yourself a bit more =P

IDK, I'm trying to level up both soldiers, one with concussive shot and another with grenades. At the moment, they are both level 14 and they both are extremely good. They might not be as durable as turian soldier but they surely are major powerhouses. CS ragdolls all mooks and detonates everything and frags are very efficient against anything armored. Marksman turbo turns your raptor/thokin/whatever into a serious killer and they have superb mobility.

I was wondering if maybe that was it. I loved CS in 3 and skipped frag completely but it had a much faster cooldown then. I used it exactly as someone else said: as panic button when caught.

CS is currently my "Oh shit I missed, haalp, get me outta here" button. And given the really heavily wonky hitdetection offhost...

I really miss Adrenaline Rush on the HSols. The damage boost plus the defensive bonus of a shield recharge gave a lot of mileage to that kit that is just missing now.

Soldiers are naturally dependent on their weapons.. so it`s understandable.

Remember ME3MP N7 characters?

Destroyer was the worst character among them if equally given weak weapons... but the best if given the right weapon. lol


I am not touching any soldier characters until at least I get some rare weapon to level X.

Stop using CS then, and spec into the nade (Turbo charge is the first thing you go for, Munitions passives the 2nd, then Fitness, then nade).

At level 16, you should be well ready for Gold - If you don't feel comfortable even with Silver on that level, try switching out the Revenant as I find it's a trap. (Large mag and poor aim is not doing you any favours). On Gold, with a Raptor X (Remember, Raptor is an Uncommon, so not overly expensive to get) it's not a problem to chew through enemies, and Turbo charge you keep ready for those "surprise" Hydras, Berserkers, Kett Devoted, Observers or anything else you don't want in your near vicinity.

And toss some nades at them, for good measure. (But mind the blast radius, or you will hurt yourself)

How should i spec CS to get the best out of it?

U wot mate?

Soldier is really weapon dependent. I have 2 URs at X, one of which is good (Hurricane) and the other decent (Valiant) so I just use those.

My HSol:

TC 4a, 5a, 6a
CS 4b
FG 4a
MT 4a, 5b, 6b
FIT 4b

Weapon Widow III

Totally Destroys silver enemies easily even without boosters and is with boosters fully gold viable. Turbocharge 4a vs 4b I personally find to be dependent on the weapon(s) I plan to use, the heavier the more attractive I find the lower CD. The Rest in TC should be obvious to those that know, for the rest that don´t, I tend to prefer dps over survivability. Concussive gets 4 ranks from me at the moment and I chose 4b solely to be less CD dependent on it. It´s as I said in another thread, first and foremost a Oh fuck button, second a detonator. Frag got 4a damage, no surprise there, though should I ever respec her, I might infact go contrary to my philosophy and go radius. I´ve seen it a couple times now where enemies where able to just ever so slightly dodge my nades. Time will tell though. Munitionstraining should be straightforward as should be fitness. That´s my HSol. I wonder how well she does now that my widow is V, hmmmm.

PS: Someone call a doctor, I did infact post something serious, so something must be wrong with me.
