Whist the damage from burst seems fairly low it is a staple attack of the AR. It is the lowest end and lowest recharge plus comes with a nice debuff.
M30 grenade is a high end attack with fairly low damage. Much more effective imo is buckshot, lower recharge and end but lower range.
Not sure about AR corruptors really. They just don't seem 'right'
Thermal isn't realy a damage build, that's what /rad, /kin and /dark are for.
As of AR, it gets going quite late, as the 2 good cones are levels 18 and 32.
Damage is not the end al be all fore me. I wand to have be able to do a bit of group support as well. I took thermal for it healing utilities, and I am sure the buffs will come in handy when I get to take them as well.
And that AR is a late starter, well that is good news. That means I will gain more offensive power later on, and not keep seeing a slow dwindling of it.
Yea AR does seem a bit wishy compared to others, noticed when comparing damage to my brothers energy dude but on the other hand it gets some nice moves in later lvls and burst and slug remain useful.
It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!
So, what are your thoughts on this build? I have not gotten far in level yet as I am a quite casual gamer. But so far it seems a bit weak on the offensive side to me. While bust is very nice at the lower levels, it looks like it will become less and less useful, and the damage it does do not scale up as fast as the enemies hit points. And slotting it for damage seems to have little effect.(still only using the training ones enhancements). And to my dismay M30 grenades is not as high powered as I had hoped.
So far, Slug seems to be my best hope for a high damage attack until I get the snipe attack
In addition, how many power pools should I take. I was thinking hover/fly from flight powers, and the entire pool that give the increased stamina regains. Are any other pools needed? I get a resurrection power from thermal so I properly do not need to take medicine pool.
Any advice will be appreciated.
