Ranged Softcapped DP/Devices Build Critique

Before I lay out the build, I want to establish that I've never played either of these sets into the teens, much less to 50. This is a build I made for a friend at her request (okay, it was more of a challenge, she was told by a SG mate that softcapping a DP/Devices couldn't be done). Her build requirements were Super Speed for travel, as much of the Medicine pool as possible, and enough recovery to not bottom out while fighting. After talking with her and tweaking, I switched out Targeting Drone for Suppressive Fire because she liked it better. I slotted it with Stupefy to get back the +recovery lost from losing the Gaussian's set, while still keeping the high ranged defense.

Is there anywhere this can be tweaked to be more efficient?

I think you accomplished what you were asked to do. I quickly played around with the build and these are my thoughts.

• DP is short ranged and HOB is PBAOE so I can see you going with Force mastery. I do think the KB from repulsion field could be an issue at times. But I can see where being forced into melee range that having Force Mastery for back up is not bad.
• Your recovery numbers are good. I do not see where you would have any endurance issues really.
• I do think you can afford to remove 1 IO from both Maneuvers and Weave. Specifically the def/end/recharge. You will still have range defense cap.
• Personally 1 slot heal other. Why would you give a poo about healing someone else. Especially wasting 2 extra slots to make sure you can. If someone cannot manage themselves I think that is there issue and not mine. Especially as a blaster. If you want to heal then go DP as a defender and obtain range defense cap in that AT.
• I would change your health slotting to 2 Numima for added health regen.
• I would add a slot to aid self for a total of 4 and double Numina for health regen bonus and keep the heal recharge and interrupt IO. That will give you a real nice heal.
• Get rid of resuscitate and pick up Assault for added dps increase. You can double slot it for endurance redux if you want.
• The 2 slots you removed from aid other you can place one in Hail of bullets and the other in bullet rain.
• I would consider placing expedite reinforcement into gun drone

You could also swap slotting of gun drone to 6 pieces of expedient reinforcement. Large range defense boost and a recharge bonus, too.

The Stupify set will only work when you are using the default ammo. If you use Fire or one of the other ammos, isn't Supressive a Hold then? How about changing to the Lockdown set? You will also get a chance to Hold a Boss with the proc in that set.
