You can have 20 dodge as an Engy by using platinum armor and the +dodge platinum rifle (which is way better than the green Savage Claws anyway). This enables you to wear the +regen implant. Yes, it's all plat gear but it's 20 dodge and 1 extra regen! Andit supports the game and helps us keep getting new content.

I think both Engies and Commos should consider the platinum gear primarily for high dodge. I think only operatives can easily skip most or all of the plat gear.

And yes, for commos, that 6 damage mitigation from a maxed increased mass really, truly adds up fast in the alpha strike of Typical Numa mods. With 6 IM and 6 Vigor and 6 Kinetic Resevoir, you can do your job well and almost never burn a single pot, except maybe against Guardian if you're the one dragging him to the cliff and your healer isn't covering you while you do so.

Granted, the effectiveness of Increase Mass and Vigor will diminish as they raise the level cap, but right now it's perfectly useful.
