The Kestrel armor introduced two new pieces of armor that together grant 20% more melee damage. Combined with the strength boost pads you get + 45% melee damage, which I want to use for my melee playthrough. However, I now have three classes to choose from which sound like they would work:

- Soldier: I could choose the Shock Trooper specialisation for 40% more health and Hardened Adrenaline Rush to get 50% health damage reduction during the melee rush

- Infiltrator: The Enhanced Cloak would allow me to throw a few punches and maybe even return to cover

- Vanguard: I could rush in with Heavy Charge without the disadvantage of having damaged shields when getting in range to punch. The slowdown also sounds beneficial

So, which one should I choose? Has anyone tried a melee-focused run so far?

I sort of did it with a sentinel .. that assault armour stun is totally sweet for doing dumb stunts with.

You should definetly go with the vanguard. Soldier's strength is the guns, and you want melee. Infiltrator just won't survive long uo close (especially with the use of cloak, you're very vulnerable after it falls off, and it falls off the moment you attack)

I'd say sentinel or vanguard. though it'd be interesting to see if it could be done with an engineer, locking down enemies with drone then punching them in the back. and etc.

Vanguard!

Melee attacks don't force the cloak to fall, at least not as rapidly as a gunshot would.

If you want melee, go Vanguard, just for the Charge.

Sentinel by far. Here is a vid a posted to another threat a few days ago. I barely fire my fun.

Sentinel with energy drain works nicely. I never tried a melee vanguard, but I am now tempted....

Sentinel, most likely, as Assault Armor grants you a lot of survivability. If you want to punch like a madman, Soldier could work since melee speed doesn't suffer from time dilation under Adrenaline Rush.

Assault Sentinel easily. You can melee everyone to death.
