Best Soldier build for good team play and aoe damage/

[Xoseph]

Hi I never got a chance to play a veat on live and I went with a Soldier, I have no idea what Im doing on it, price is no object, just looking for a good solid all around build.

 

Thanks

They are fun. Above is a discussion in progress that may help.

Constant and consistent AoE damage, Defense capped, 50%+ resists across the board, provides 20-30% defense to the whole team and solid -res to help team offense.  Also 6 pets as icing on the cake.  

 

Can "tank" essentially anything in the game (aka take the alpha and survive, not really aggro manage though), leading teams from the front, or run off solo or can sit back and just lob grenades on loop, while your pets shoot off wave after wave of Lightning Balls.

 

I'll be honest, I've taken a break from the game for a bit just because I haven't been able to build anything that functions as well as that Crab build for general content at any level.  It feels like "beating the game".

I'm rather partial to my Huntsman builds ...

I made this one if you want to look at it, it has all the pet buffs, the pets are permanent, you have 50% to all across the board except toxic and psi, you have softcapped defenses permanently with barrier (5%) and the barrier also helps keep your pets at 35% defense universally, and the support core makes them softcapped, you have good AOE, etc. Also, hasten is perma. You also get 2k health, etc.
