Well not all the soldier skills (otherwise there'd be no need for the soldier class
), but the Vanguard seems to be what you're looking for.
Vanguard Pros over Soldier:
-Excellent Crowd Control (Throw, Lift)
-Has Warp which is great on higher difficulties as it can increase the amount of damage you do by a lot
-Has Barrier = 1000 Shields at your beck and call.
Vanguard Cons:
-Medium Armor instead of Heavy Armor (But IMO Barrier > Armor)
-No Fitness (and thus no Immunity) but if you lift/throw all your opponents then they can't shoot you am I right?
-No Assault or Sniper Rifles. This just means that the Vanguard is a close and nasty combatant.
Basic strategy for the vanguard:
-Run into biotics range
-Hit opponents with Lift/Throw and Warp for tougher opponents (against weak opponents you kill them too fast for warp to really take an effect)
-Use Carnage (best weapon skill ever!) which turns your shotgun into a rocket launcher
-If enemies still remain use Adrenaline Rush (recharges all your skills automatically)
-Rinse and Repeat
If you want biotics and rifles however, (Achievement spoiler highlight to read:
get 150 kills with the weapon and you can add it as a bonus skill to a new character) and create an adept with the weapon of choice.
