You have to use the soldier to power up strong weapons. I term it as "AR SPAM" you focus on constantly using Adrenline Rush to give you maximum fire power for your weapon of choice. If leveled correctly you will do 92.5% bonus damage with your weapon.
On my layout I use a Geth Plasma Shotgun III with a Level 5 Capactiy (it gives it 27 spare rounds, so I don't have to run to ammo boxes or use thermal clips every 5 seconds), and a Level 5 High caliber barrel for 25% more damage as well. This means when I have AR active I will have 117.5% bonus damage. Not to mention you can still charge the gun for even more damage
Here is my power layout (I am only showing from level 4 -6):
AR - Damage, Duration, and Shield Boost
(It is important note that shield boost is very effective, esp when you active AR while already taking damage. It will instantly increase your shield by 50% and can give you a tank like feature if used properly.)
Frag - Damage, Max Grenades, Armor-Piercing
Alliance Training - Weapon Damage, Power Damage, Weapon Damage,
(You might be thinking why do power damage instead of headshot bonus. As I mentioned I use the Geth Shotgun which to my knowledge doesn't register headshots. also with the power damage it will increase your grenade damage to 1050.)
Fitness - Durability, Shield Recharge, Fitness Expert
(This layout is to make you have 825 health and shield, and also increase the speed in which you recharge your shield)
I don't play alot on gold because most people don't think a soldier can help win. But I have have had alot of success on all difficulties. Against the Reapers 2-3 Fully Charge Shots and AR active at least once will take a Brute by yourself on Silver Difficulty.
Hope this helps those who want to use the Soldier class more. I know it enjoy it.
EDIT 04/03/12:
I was actually going to do that today when I get home. I love using the GPS, but I am thinking I will use my Talon or Carnifex and an Assult Rifle both with armor piericing mods. I was going to do this layout for powers (showing levels 4-6):
AR - Hardening, Duration, Shield Boost
(I still would use shield boost, but with this set up AR would be more of a defensive move to replensive half your shield and get to safety and a 25% damage reduction, but you could still do some serious weapon damage while AR is active 45% weapon damage bonus)
CS - Force & Damage, Shatter, Shedder
(This is my prefered set up, but I haven't made up my mind for Shatter or Recharge Speed. I will need to see how quick CS will recharge once I have everything else leveled up accordingly.)
Training - Damage & Capacity, Power Damamge, Weapon Weight.
(With
This set up I may still be able use my GPS, but I want to play around
with what weapon(s) I use as I want to be able to spam CS)
Fitness - Durability, Shield Recharge, Fitness Expert
This might even fit my play style better than my current set up.
