Nice video, pretty straight to the point (much like Tsol himself).
Did make me wish I wasn't such a terrible shot with snipers... Oh well, bullet hose build is fun too.

Yeah, I'm loving my Turian Soldier. Also want to try a Human Soldier so I can actually use grenades, but I'm not sure I can live without Fortify. It's just a really nice ability that makes the Turian a Terminator.
Still experimenting with weapons, but the Equalizer is one of my favorites and the Thokin is even a good rifle with this class.

So, rank 6 of turbocharge - is Supercharge a clearcut better evolution for overall/burst DPS, or is it a stylistic choice? Feels like that on weapons like sniper rifles, where aiming for weak points interferes with firing at maximum rate, a few extra shots before having to reload would result in better damage output.

The only thing I would change on him would to give him a detonator power.

I prefer the 6A evolution, but unlike penguin, I don't like sniper rifles on my pure DAKKA platform. As Penguin noted, it depends largely on your weapon of choice. For Raptor and Thokin usage, I'd go with 6a Munitions and 6b for Turbo Charge since more bullets means more damage down range.

I prefer to take the recharge time bonus for the turbocharge cause the unimproved cooldow is so long i forget i have it or always end up saving it for when i will really need it and end up barely using it.

I had a different setup but just changed mine to try this one out. Looks like it will work for my playstyle.

The only thing I would change on him would to give him a detonator power. That's why the Human Soldier is better. Concussive Shot is way more useful, way more often than Fortify.

It does not do it's job well enough to warrent any praise currently. If it's damage was upped, it *might* be worthwhile, but I would still consider it too inaccurate for my tastes.

Since I can't snipe even if my life depended on it, I run the Revenant (well OK partially because I want to feel like Rambo!)

I prefer to take the recharge time bonus for the turbocharge cause the unimproved cooldown is so long i forget i have it or always end up saving it for when i will really need it and end up barely using it. It's worth noting that there's not a massive difference in sustained dakka between turbocharge 4A and 4B. Duration adds 4 seconds of dakka per use. Recharge reduces the delay between uses by 3 seconds. Duration = 12 seconds of dakka with 18 seconds without, 30 seconds per cycle, 40% dakka time. Recharge = 8 seconds of dakka with 15 seconds without, 23 seconds per cycle, 34% dakka time. You'll be able to regain some of the lost theoretical DPS by making good use of the extra free reloads you'll get from the shorter cycles and in practice you'll waste less turbocharge time by killing everything in front of you before it runs out, which is something that happens more often with the duration evo. I've got my male HSol duration specced and my female HSol recharge specced and I haven't found a clear winner between the pair yet TBH. I'm just messing about with builds at the moment so that may change if/when I get serious. TL:DR: Both options are valid.

The purge on fortify is not to be sniffed at. If you get surrounded by enemies it's a great panic button to let you get the hell out of dodge.
Alternatively, you can use it super aggressively, popping it off in a group deliberately and then popping their heads one by one. It's glorious.

I don't know, the ability to turn around and shoot the flanking Anointed in the face hakuna matata style is a bit more valuable than setting off a silly ~200 damage explosion. I also enjoy sunbathing under observers, tanking Nullifier cover piercing shots, and generally having more up time in terms of shooting at things that are shooting back at you.
Fortify makes Gold feel like Bronze sometimes.
Having tried both Human Soldier and Turian Soldier, I like Turian way, way more. The massive +70% Health/Shield multiplier gives you positioning options Concussive shot will never give.

You must be related to that turian sentinel I overheard on the citadel.
On topic the turian soldier is becoming my favorite class and one that seems to have transitioned to MEA better than most. He's even more durable now thanks to fortify, almost absurdly so if you really build for it. And he's still making weapons better. The incisor is my go to gun on him atm. It's pretty mean when you stack those stability boosts on it. And when you turbocharge it, it actually lives up to it's original sales pitch of having no recoil and sounding like a single shot.

"Fortify is a skill which I don't really rate very highly, but in the Turian Soldier's case I rate Frag Grenades even lower, so we're gonna dump whole six ranks into this.""However, I don't really like either of these, and instead of choosing to take six ranks in Fortify, I prefer to dump five in it and take three in Frag Grenades."You're making it up as you go, aren't you?

In my head it made sense but i guess not now that i listen to it back. Id recommend 6 ranks in fortify but i honestly dont have survivability issues and i dont purge fortify so i personally choose not too take that evo.
