I find FoI pretty handy when it crits, and using it on a weaker mob and then switching targets works pretty well. Like I said in the guide, I'd rather pop a stim than have any points in a skill that doesnt affect damage output, as it is a pure damage build.Quote:

Thanks again for your suggestion Moog, and thanks Gunfu!
It's not a money issue for stims (although I am pretty poor in SL) it's just one less thing to worry about in the middle of a fight :) I wish Flames was an AoE attack or it'd be a no-brainer. I did up Neural Shock and dumb down Sympathetic Anguish based on yr build suggestion. I am always pure damage in PL, but with stims being less effective it seems in SL, it is nice to have a slight boost from Inner Focus, being semi-squishy and all.
Ahh ,you raise a good point. I'll edit this into my build if you don't mind?Quote:

Great build, very similar to mine, but you wouldn't opt to place a few points into Symp Anguish? It's a skill that does deal a single damage (despite its random chance to tick more damage), so not including it at all would be like getting rid of an extra punch altogether.
Wow, I'm glad you like it Phys, and yeah, if someone wanted to take a few points out of flames or something and add a few into symp, it would still be a solid build, I just wanted to maximize my skills that I was using and having only 6 skills allows me to set up my combos I like to use more easily. I have to still do some tweaking, my other operative will most likely have a much different build by the time I'm done heheQuote:

Dang, killa better get in here, she has forgotten to thank a few more of your random posts.
I'm updating this to a level 36 build tonight, and rewriting some strategies to better coincide with the new campaign. Stay tuned, This revised build is going to be deadly! Even more high damage dealin', single target shootin, DPS excessiveness comin your way tonight!
Is the flame of insanity suppose to be 6 or 5 because on the picture it show's 6 and on post you said 5, sow which one is it?
Lv.41 PvE build coming, as well as a few twink builds if I have time. I had a brainfart and thought this was current.. too much grinding! @_@
Looking forward to your new build Eba
Looks very solid. Although being an engie type myself maybe a couple points in my regen rather than so many in flames. I'm only level 6 now, and I gotta cap my engie, so by the time the 41 is out I should be set.
Great guide!
