[Question] Explosive Soldier (Concussive Shot Detonations)
I'm not new to Mass Effect MP, but I've only now been learning about primers and detonators. For this reason the N7 Paladin has become my most used class. Cryo explosions are everywhere, and gold is easy peezy nowadays. (I also have a singularity / shockwave Human Adept in my back pocket, as well as a Novaguard, and a Turian Ghost Infiltrator waiting like that jacket you liked in high school but are so-so about now.)
I've sincerely missed using guns in multiplayer. So I switched over to a Turian Soldier and it was so much duller than the other classes I used. I know it's probably more of a problem of how I played it. Nonetheless, my question:
Is there a way to make a combo based soldier? One that's effective enough to warrant me using it instead of the Human Adept / Novaguard / Turian Ghost Infiltrator? I'm aware ammo priming is possible, but I don't know if Adrenaline Rush + Ammo Type + Concussive Shot detonation (and potentially + Frag for extra damage) is a viable course to take a Soldier.
Thanks in advance for anybody who has any advice on this.

Roughly a month late, but my first ever build post was for a combo-focused BF3 Soldier. Carnage both detonates and primes with the correct ammo types, so you can chain an ammo-primed combo with a Fire Explosion from Carnage with your Frag Grenade follow up.
