Human Soldier question

Who needs that garbage skill known as Turbocharge?

I actually tried a build where I maxed out frags and concussive shot while still only having 3 points into Turbocharge and it is pretty fun.

Not as fun as running a Drell with Claymore and boom nades but then again nothing is as fun as that.

I have a soldier where i sacrifice some fitness. Power cell concussive shots are a big win. You can always use them WHEN you need them, and not when it's not on cooldown. Concussive shot until rank 4 power cells, or rank 5 damage radius and grenades up to rank 3. I wouldnt drop turbocharge rank 6 for fitness or frag rank 6 for sure.

this is purely personal preference, but the human soldier is my favorite and most played class, and this is my observation:

frag grenades are (relatively) shit. when you put 6 ranks into em and build for full power damage, they max out at like ~1500 damage with ~5m radius, which isn't enough to kill... well.. anything on gold really. also, it has no utility besides its aoe damage. frags are a lot more useful if you get good at cooking and precisely airbusting them, but even then you're leaving yourself exposed while not shooting.

comparatively, concussive shot with repeat concussion is (IMO) the best detonator/stagger ability in the game. it combines the benefits of a lot of other offensive damage abilities (fast projectile speed, fast animation, tracking), has one of the highest force values among stagger abilities, detonates, and has no cooldown (obviously the biggest benefit). i REALLY like ranks 5 and 6 of concussive shot as well. rank 5 radius allows concussive shot to detonate smaller targets much more reliably (which is useful when you play like i do, sprinting around jumping everywhere and just flinging concussive shots everywhere)

Having two spammable cell-based CC/direct damage powers is amazing. 16666 is my preferred setup. Even at level 1 rank X you can go into Gold and do really well with points in grenades and CS.

Please stop with the Drell... you just make everyone sad. :sob:

I loved emptying the ammo box...
:lmfao:

There is something deeply deeply satisfying about firing off 6 concussive shots at a squad of approaching adhi and raiders. And you're down, and you're down, and you're down, and you're down...

FIFY.

Concussive Shot is amazing and frankly, it's what makes the HSol a better non-sniping weapons platform than the TSol.
