I've found the added survivability to be worth it in many common situations - psi heavy missions, or just teaming ; being able to play tankerlight is fun, so is duoing AVs or GMs with friends (imho). It's also cool to have a toon so tough you know you'll be able to handle whatever the game throws at you even if you end up in a terrible pickup group.
I'd say you should ask yourself are you trading anything for this stuff, like any other power you'd rather have ? If the answer is yes, I'd go with the powers you want instead of tough/weave/aid self.
Otherwise, well, it doesn't matter much anyway. You might as well go for the great survivability. The build you posted should be affordable for about 300-400m if you're moderately patient with your bids, so I say go for it. Worst comes to worst, if you finally get bored with the character, you can always use respecs to move the IOs to your next alt, so all the money you spend won't be wasted in any case.
Alright, I'll give it a go and see what happens. If anything I'd probably end up dropping the medicine line and picking up the rest of the attacks I need for the sweep combo just to have an additional attack option.
Hello all.
So I just hit 47 last night and I was really excited because now I could respec and work on my endgame build, I'll post it below. I haven't had the chance to do that yet and as more time goes by I wonder more and more if it's worth it. This guy was going to be my first foray into IO sets and I've accumulated about 500 mil by scrounging all the inf from my other toons, playing the AH, and getting some lucky recipe drops. But now that I think about it, I don't plan to solo AVs, and don't think I can justify spending so much just to see if I can do the Rikti boss challenge and once completed never do it again. This also got me thinking about just what exactly do i do when I hit 50.
Below is the build I was planning on but as I said I'm not sure if it's worth it anymore. If I don't plan on soloing AVs do I really need to take things like tough, weave, stimulant, and aid self or try to reach softcap?
