Hi all,

This will be my second attempt asking help and i kinda need it now. Ill post my build at the bottom of this post but i was wondering if anyone can help me fix her to be ...well useful. My slotting and stuff is kinda meh and shes a fresh 50, still has my cruddy no idea what i was doing bbuild lol and not too sure what Alpha to even go for.

Any help would be awesome. I you could avoid purples that would be nice, recently io's out a domi and recovering inf from that.

Useful in teams, maybe could solo something bigger than a paper bad and no purple builds thats what im looking for.

Thanks again! Kao~

Below is the build I run on my FF/DP. Very reasonable build, softcapped to ranged and AOE, not quite softcapped to melee, but he's only in melee for Hail of Bullets.

I would still advise finding a spot for the Med Pool in your build. Aid Self and PFF works great when things are getting dangerous. It doesn't even require that many slot either, in mine I have the default one in Other and two in Self. About the same green numbers in both with that slotting, and it means I can affort to carry fewer greens in my insp tray.

/Empaths can turn three people into Jesus, one person into God, and everyone else into the twelve apostles.~Angry_Citizen

Don't you know that discussion of power selection/slotting can ONLY be based on hearsay, rumor, idle speculation, and bald-faced lies??!? ~Elf_Sniper

Here's a softcap template. I'm sure I'd tweak the build considerably before building it, but it's a starting point based on a proven build.

Apologies. For some reason my Mids isn't dumping the links as well.

While not DP, here's a basic FF Fender that can be tweaked for pretty much ANY secondary. Better yet, it does NOT rely on the PVP TP/+3% def IO (though it has the Steadfast).

All I'd do for this build to upgrade it (and make it correspondingly stupid-expensive) is two-slot Enzymes in all the personal defenses. Though, if I got my hands on a PVP IO it wouldn't hurt either.

You'd wind up with something like this:
