Please Critique - Bots/Traps MM - Mids Export Included

Hello everyone. I'm really hoping for some insight into how to squeeze that last few percent of success out of my build. I didn't have any feedback the last time I posted, so I was kinda flailing about in the dark to even come up with this revision, so please, help a lady out. Right now I'm softcapped to M/R/AOE with my protbots shield, drones and assault are at I think 51% M/R/AOE with prot shields, and the protbots themselves are at like 38% M/R/AOE. 45% global recharge, lots of nasty procs in things. Any suggestions to squeeze out a bit more performance would be greatly appreciated.

We have two totally different ways of building a toon. Can you be more specific when you say you want to squeeze out a bit more performance? More recharge? More defence?

Recharge is very important to a trapper. For instance, it is possible to do perma pgt's -regen. Your build has a 18 second window where the spawn is not being debuffed by it.

Your acid mortar is down for 2 seconds. You should at least have some overlap with 2 out, if not 2 out all the time.

Do you fly/hover with this toon atm? I ask because I find laying down my traps to be a pita while hovering.

For knockback protection, I recommend either 4, or 12. Just about anything that gets through mag 4 protection will go through mag 8.

I have included my build just to give you some different ideas on how to slot some things like the bots and traps.

I'm not really sure WHAT I'm looking for to improve it, other than probably recharge. I've got enough defense to be happily over the softcap, even if I don't have that much of a buffer against debuffs, I'm still happy where I am there. I'd always be happy with more recharge in the build, though. With that said, yes I do hover, and without too much trouble putting down traps since I've gotten used to skimming the ground for that. Also, I don't really want to change which pools I have beyond Mu. I'd be willing to sacrifice that one if it would help me improve overall
