Uh..its good?

It's a thing of beauty. Concusion shot is great crowd control skill, you can spam it a lot and not to mention it helps a lot vs Phantoms and Atlas mechs.

Grenades kill everything, you got limited of those, but you can always run to the weapon cache and grab new ones, roll one behind guardians and they will die. also specc for radius and you'll decimate the whole room with one frag.

Adrenaline rush is a nice boost when you need some umph to your weapon damage. But I didn't find myself using it that much, it's cooldown period is just too long for my liking. I won't be speccing much into it in the full game I think.

Adrenaline Rush is useless. Concussive Shot is pretty nice actually.

[Jiggabod]

Not a fan at first but then heard about the spamming of concussive shots...pretty effective lol. Anyhoo I was wondering what people thought about adrenaline rush, I think it's booty so far and I'm at stage four. Sometimes I'll activate it and there will be no effect. Anyone else notice this. Ok and lastly I unlocked the mattock recently and turns out it's trash compared to mass effect 2's version hopefully the Mattock X will be on par, I think the avenger is superior at the moment due due it's lower "weight" so I can spam CS suuuper fast. Thoughts opinons?

Yeah it's bit sketchy at times. I won't use it that much. I just use it now and then to do more damage to Atlas.

Yes, same as in the single player portion, a lot of things are bugged.

They just feel like a poor persons sentinel or vanguard to me. Bioware has really stripped away a lot of their good perks since ME1.

I used Adrenaline Rush a lot in ME2, but in MP I'm having a blast spamming Concussive Shots. It got me out of sticky situation many times and is great for crowd control. The quick cooldown is also a plus. For me, AR is not very useful for me in MP, enemies are always moving around.
However, now that I've unlocked Turian Sentinel, I've been neglecting my Soldier a bit

[xcrunr1647]

Spam concussive shot or it's worthless.

I haven't played my human soldier since I unlocked my Krogan =)

I maxed out adrenaline rush, because I liked the defensive apsect of it, but it really seems to be bugged.

- I don´t inflict noticeable more damage ( even though 35% is the standard value)
- The damage seems to be randomly reduced by 25%, not all the time while
adrenaline rush is active ( if skilled that way)
- The last level of this ability gives +50% shield strength when adrenalin rush is
activated, or restores 50% when activated, not sure how to interpret it, but when used it
restores 1/5 up to 25% of the shield, not even near 50%.

That being said I think the human soldier is good, when adrenaline rush gets fixed even better.
Maybe the shield and health points are a little low, compared to other species,
but I think only humans can "combat roll", which compensates for lower hit points.

Adrenaline rush is not worth it IMO.

Human Soldier is about Concussive Shot spam, and Frag Grenades into groups of enemies.

Use Concussive shot as a stun, as it'll knock down any enemies or stun heavy enemies is specced rite. Then shoot them while they are on the ground for a quick kill. Just do that throughout the battle.

I won a krogan soldier last night so I will give him a try and see if I enjoy it a bit more.

Krogan soldier is pure beastmode. 

[Cloaking_Thane]

Max out concussive shot for Force (Guardians) and cooldowns (more is better),
take a good AR or Pistol.
Profit!!!

I will agree Krogan is a little better, but not quite as spam happy with Carnage (but close)

[elemme]

I think the soldier can be played in 2 ways. Built to spam CS which puts you in the same weight limitations as other power users or ignore CS and weight limits and carry the 2 biggest baddest guns you have widow/revenant or widow/claymore. I think the second version is a lot of fun but is completely dependent on having the equipment.

[Nigawatts]

I think the Turian Soldier would probably benefit more from a Weapon damage build than the Human Soldier.

[Jiggabod]

Krogan soldier is mad dope I can easily run around on bronze and just be a...well krogan lol. But on higher difficulties? My human soldier I carry one weapon-AR for max spamming of the CS good idea? I like it on bronze will I be effective on silver/gold? Last question folks, just got a mattock should I use it over the avenger; with the avenger I can spam CS waaay faster lol

[sandpants]

I like human soldiers, I think a proper build and some skilled clickers could help in Gold as much as any other class.

Grenades don't instantly kill on gold, but they stagger, which is good. Not sure if worth maxing out.

Adrenaline rush is best probably used for the auto reload and some protection. Like some said, not worth maxing out by much, but if you do, best to get the "one power use". You never know when you need CS. Other than that, the 1 point in and some reuse - it should be good.

CS - not worth doing the Ammo Power transfer 6th upgrade. Not in MP atleast IMO. Not worth the power and force upgrades if something else stands up. AOE with the 100% dmg on organics is pretty good. I made a mistake on taking the force/power and ammo transfer. I used warp ammo, and its "ok". There was a DOT on the enemy when I used the CS with warp ammo. But still...

Passives are good. I think them, CS/grenades are best to max out. Passives - depends on how agressive you are. Melee may be a very awesome option, other wise - health/shield/weapon damage.

After that, it's just getting the meanest single gun you can get, and blowing people up.
I tried claymore - no hate there. At all. I also tried revenant - no hate either. Claymore with smart choke is almost like a sniper rifle. AR reloads automatically.

CS on guy, shoot another, AR, shoot again, grenade some people.

IMO. Worked ok on silver, but I am also a bad shooter, and bad built.

My Human soldier is a beast and the M-98 Widow is such a great weapon one hit kills for days sooo effective against the Guardians go straight through their shields You guys are right the adrenaline boost kinda useless i use it only if im fighting something big like the Atlas or Phantom.

[robarcool]

They nerfed the most important power of human soldier a little too much in an attempt to balance things: Adrenaline Rush. It is useless now in multiplayer (still somewhat good in SP though).

Do you play at silver or gold? If yes, then kudos to you. At bronze, it doesn't matter if you use adrenaline rush or not. Concussion shot is enough.
On silver, I got pwned (even though our team won) and at gold, I just got pwned and made more or less zero contribution towards the killing.

[Tooneyman]

Compared to the Krogan solider. Human's been beat.

[Arkanis Drako]

I read somewhere else in the forum that adrenaline rush is bugged badly,
it often doesn´t activate properly or at all, which explaines why I did not
notice any change when I used it, so my points are wasted right now.

At the moment I play with the revenant, grenades on the second highest rank, CS on rank 3, I think, and all passives maxed out for weapon damage and more defense. I am going to drop
the one melee upgrade at rank 4(?) to get all defensive boni, though . I don´t find myself in situations
where melee would be a good idea that often.

So when Adrenaline rush gets fixed I got something like a shock trooper.
I take some hits, shoot the revenant until it´s empty, grenade here, CS there
and carnage everywhere; very dynamic battles.

It´s pretty much fun at the moment, even without adrenaline rush, it should be
pretty neat when everything works as intended.

So keeping in my that adrenaline rush actually doesn´t work right now,
I perfectly understand why adrenaline rush is seen as useless, but
when everything works as intended the human soldier should be a lot
more fun.
