Xombies Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) First off, the build: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#801hMGrdoboMZMcZbIbbz.1 This build is meant to be a jack=of-all-trades build. Decent at PvP but can still tank decently well. Its focus is delivering big hits with High Impact Bolt with Brutal Impact (+6% damage), Focused Impact (ignore 60% armor) and High Friction Bolts (penetrate 30% armor). Using Ion Cell, HIB could be triggered either through the use of Stock Strike (with Ion Overload) or through the use of Incendiary round. This build can also generate a decent amount of ammo through Shield Cycler and High Friction Bolts. This is all complete theorycrafting since I'm not fortunate enough to be in game yet so I'm open to any criticism, feedback or suggestions you guys may have.

Aaoogaa Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Cannot have plasma cell and ion cell active at the same time. Wasted talent points speccing plasma cell specific skills. The lack of ionic accelerator means you would only get one HIB every 15 seconds. That is a large number of skill points to waste to boost a 15 second ability. I like the dot but...not that much. You took neither snare making this class less kite friendly (one of the best kiters in this game)...ok damage but to many wasted skill points. What I would suggest Edited December 15, 2011 by Aaoogaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would suggest The only Plasma Cell related talent I took was Superheated Plasma so I could get to High Friction Bolts (additional HIB armor penetration and ammo generation). The build would only run Ion Cell and ignore Plasma Cell. The snares just seem too unreliable. 5 talent points for a 2 second snare just didn't seem worth it. Again, I'm just theorycrafting so perhaps they are actually worth it in practice. I must admit I do like the look of your build. Thanks for the response.

Aeonixx Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Simply put, you won't be a jack of all trades. You will NEVER be able to tank at 50, let alone 30s and 40s with that spec. You will also do mediocre damage. These trees are designed to be mostly invested in, and any hope of being a "jack of all trades" will be met with resistance by groups who will not invite you because your "jack of all trades" spec will not fit ANY role that they couldn't fill more effectively with a fully specced character.

When you go "hybrid," you become a non-issue in PvP. You will always almost kill someone. You will always almost survive a fight. You end up not even being mediocre. You become a joke.
