Human Soldier Build for Platinum

How well are these Human Soldier builds surviving in Platinum? I usually prefer my Turian Soldier because he's less squishy than HSol, but he still died more than I though he would on Platinum even though we cleared without too much trouble.

I also survive better with HSol, probably due to cshot. Can burn down armored enemies much faster. Unless you're using the Dhan or Electro, TSol does not have a reliable stagger.

Agree wholeheartedly, though I have been using the newly buffed frag grenade DOT over the extra 2 power cells. I don't know how it is on plat, but on silver it kills a nullifier in one 'nade.

The whole world has gone crazy. If you want to nade spam play an infiltrator.

2 without any issue on PC.  Not trying to start an argument with anyone, just being jovial.  I very much recognize the value of frag grenades, especially with vet bonuses, but I can't get make the jump as to why someone would spec for it when there are infiltrators available.  At the same time, why play a double dipping power cell solider when the batarian is available?

I might just be speaking from ignorance as I haven't played any soldier with 6 in frags.  Maybe I'll respec one of the humans and try it tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure they don't have falloff as the Sticky grenades specifically mention a falloff and frags are harder to use so it would make sense for them not to have one.

As for whats been mentioned in this thread I run a pure offensive soldier (6/6/6/6/1). Provided you're in a good team you can absolutely demolish things, I like playing pure offensive builds but theres the obvious difficulty where you need to hold a point by yourself or do a retrieval which is why i don't like playing this build with randoms.

I think i managed to score nearly 10k points in a hack round on platinum with the no resupply modifier just through grenade spam. With the radius increase it makes sense to go pure power on grenades, possibly if you go for the shredder grenades instead it would make sense to go radius(don't think damage modifies shredder) but each to their own. An argument could be made for both armor and shield damage on grenades as grenades ignore shield gating but since I go shield damage on concussive shot i opt to go for armor damage on grenades

Concussive shot i prefer to go shield damage as its the soldiers oh %^$ button, its generally not an armored enemy that will kill you in a pinch unless you count krogan flak spam but CS won't save you then. It will save you if you get flanked by an annointed and without the shields down on enemies you can't stagger them. I've tried armor damage on CS but i find that i would burn through my entire supply in a few seconds and i would just be better off using TC and saving concussive shot for combo detonations/emergencies.

Yeah, and a +armor grenade is still a lot of damage to shielded enemies, destroyers excluded.

Concussive shot is for staggering shielded enemies and premature detonation of your squad's primers.
