How does the Geth Plasma Shotgun stack up against the Graal? I actually got a Geth Shotgun X but i only have a Graal III. Which should i use?

Also What evolutions do you use for your Fortification? Do you take the 30% less CD or the extra protection? Also for Rage which evolutions do you take or do you not take it at all?

Could you pls post the full build if possible. Your Krogan Soldier looks very interesting

I will post the build when I get home from work.

You home from work soon?

Need to know last evolution of Fortification? Power recharge would seems to be the best choice tho.

Build is up.

Bump for great justice, thanks for sharing. I've tried this build out and it works pretty well, although I personally prefer the GPS over the graal. More people should try this out, especially those other headbutt-crazy krogans I usually get matched up with.

[RamsenC]

I went for the 30% power reduction over the 10% damage protection, just so I can use Carnage more. Overall I think that's the better choice. I am starting to regret getting the 65% vs armor damage over the 50% general damage though.

I've been trying to come up with viable gold builds as well, but have been trying to focus on setting up fire explosions with inferno grenade/carnage. The problem is finding a sweet spot with carnage CD and sacrificing durability. I have reset/promoted, trying multiple builds; going 4/4 on berserker/rage, 5/5/4 on carnage/inferno/berserker, or completly forgoing berserker or fortification. I was wondering if you have experimented with this at all and what your thoughts on it are, because fire explosions are fun. Kablamm! THEY'RE DEAD!

Anyways, I really enjoyed the video and thanks for posting this.

Best class

I like to take 15% shield recharge rate on Fortification to spend as little time in cover as possible

[Nasu no Yoichi]

So, I don't have the Graal yet. What I do have is the Katana X, the Eviscerator III, the Scimitar III, and the Disciple II.

I'm inclined to use the Disciple for the stagger effect, but what do would you recommend?

[RogueWolfie]

Great guide Stardust, watching your video made me really want to main the Krogan Soldier in gold. I haven't had much success with my Krogan soldier so far on gold however, though I tried to spec him following your build. I think the main problem is that I only have a level one Geth Plasma Shotgun and Graal Spikethrower so I don't pack much punch against larger enemies. My maximum cooldown rate I can achieve atm with my Geth Shoddy is 130%, and that paired with fortifications 60% reduced recharge rate limits the utility of my carnage spammage. Do you have any suggestions for people with less than optimal weapons to effectively use your build? I've been considering packing a carnifex instead of a shotgun for now, but I might have to put him on the sidelines till I get some decent weapons.

[NuB Doc XO]

I subscribed to your youtube channel, cool vid

[RogueWolfie]

I take it back, now that I've completely leveled up my krogan with max power/ force and health/sheilds I've been doing much better on gold (tho my shotgun of choice, the gps is still just level 1). Been using equipment to help with the cool downs and ammo mods for more punch against the enemies I merely tickled before. Thanks again for this great build Stardusk.

[CNevarezN]

I totally ignore fortification and focus on carnage and inferno grenades. Inferno Grenades worthless on Gold? Last 50 rounds of Gold I've played on says differently. Fire Explosions are where it's at.

[kumquats]

Nice, I'm looking forward to unlocking my Krogan Soldier.
The only race I haven't unlocked yet. >.<

[Benny8484]

I appreciate you taking the time to upload this video & educate the community but bascially what I saw was carnage, carnage, carnage, carnage, carnage etc.

In very few instances was melee ever used (I didn't watch the entire video, to much carnage) which is the Krogan's identifying characteristic.  I would agree you proved a krogan soldier can definetily do gold, however I think the real issue is many other race cominations can do it faster & more efficiently.

[achillespecies]

yeah i used krogan soldier the other day and was amazed at how he could survive being ambushed by a pyro at the back..... shields went down slowly even as the flames burnt...

this class is really very durable..... i made a mistake of taking inferno grenades cos i wanted to see fire explosions..... i guess ill have to wait for the next reset card i get

[BNRasec]

I have to agree with Benny here. I was initially excited about trying a Krogan Soldier on Gold after watching this video but after playing the class extensively I felt my contributions to the team did not compare to my playing a Salarian Infiltrator or an Asari Adept. I'm a hardcore Gold only player as well so it seriously doubt it was my lack of skill. I'll keep trying out of boredom though, I have so many good weapons that I'm having fun playing the weaker classes at the moment. Often times I find myself having to carry lesser skilled players on Gold with the Infiltrator and Adept, I have serious doubts I could carry bad players with a Krogan Soldier.

You can set up fire explosions just fine with Inferno ammo. No need to waste points on the grenades

[Sacrificial Bias]

Did I miss something here? With a Katana X, no Fortification active and a power recharge rate of 180%(didn't spec out right), Carnage still has a recharge time of about 3.5 seconds. With Fortification active my recharge rate goes down drastically to the tune of 5 seconds or more.

[deenybean21]

The commentary mentioned something about "fun", but to me, using only 1 weapon and 1 power must be as boring as hell.

Aren't you describing most infiltrators?  But no, the lack of a dodge roll makes things more challenging even on bronze where enemies still have a 100% hit rate on your fat krogan ass.

[Peer of the Empire]

Lol at all the surprise, if you can't beat gold as krogan, you are just bad

The real problem that some of you shaking whelps finally discovered is that krogans indeed need more efficiency for gold. Therefore buff krogans

I must say I find it surprising Inferno is considered so useless in Gold.

I mean, yeah, it's not as good on shields as it is against armor or supposedly health. But still, specced for maximum damage it does just a bit over 1500 damage, and more than that against armor - and that's to multiple targets. Though of course if there's biotic explosions and other such AoE going off, it won't run its full duration.

Granted, the lack of resupply can also be a serious problem. In Silver I guess it's not such a big issue since you can run around a bit more freely, and it's fun to take out entire groups with one grenade.

Just started Soldier from level 1 again, and thus gotta choose which build to go for. Frankly I was never a fan of Carnage, but dropping it would leave me with a build basically identical to the Krogan Sentinel, so I guess that's pretty pointless.

[Kinderovo]

dude, great guide
how did you mod your graal?

[JaimasOfRaxis]

Gold Krogan vet who traditionally has run 5/6/3/6/6 here.

Worth noting that the level 6 evolution for Fortification, whilst nice, will really only save you from half a burst of ammo on Gold, if that. Since Inferno Grenade isn't exactly a huge damage-dealer even with maxed-out performance (really only doing half again as much at level 5 and about double that to armor at level 6), consider grabbing Inferno grenades to 3 in exchange. You'll still have durability better than most Kroguards.

If I ever get Krogan soldier it will stay off the battlefield because I have Krogan sentinel and soldier just seems like just a inferior version of the sentinel besides if I want Carnage I will go use my BF3 Soldier.
Also why not take 5a on rage?
75% melee damage after a heavy melee seems a lot more useful than 15% shield recharge
