Rodvik's L-Z-P-B Build! ( Lay-Z-Poor-Boy )

[Rodvik]

The Lay-Z-Poor-Boy

Introduction

Hello everyone! I've realized that a few people were writing guides up on their builds, and even though they are all great guides, none of them fit my playing style. So I thought I would go ahead and share my build with the community, because I'm pretty sure there are at least a few players out there that are looking for a reasonable build and play like me.

Now I'm sure you're all wondering: What in the world is this guy talking about? How does he play his Operative Class any different than most of the Operatives in Star Legends. Well let me begin by telling you that I'm Lazy and Poor in real life, so I was like "Why shouldn't my character and play style be any different?! Its familiar to me and man am I good at it!" So I built my Operative around those two traits, though I built him in a sense where he is still extremely effective in battle and on the recliner! (Shocking I know!) Because lets face it, if your Operative can't dps nobody wants you in their group! Plus you should reroll cause you're not doing what your Op is suppose to be doing.

With that being said, I'm a lvl 31 Operative, Full Dex, I use the full custom chromaweave set for the set bonus, and I went the critical route so I use the lvl 30 Platinum Dual Wield Pistols and the +3 Critical Implant. (22 Crit Unbuffed)

What this build focuses on is using the least amount of skills (Lazy) while still being effective against trash mobs and bosses. You will do great DPS while supporting your group/tank during boss encounters while saving yourself plenty of money (Poor) on stims/power packs.


Attribute Build

Pure Dex: As of right now I have not seen any other combinations of skill point distribution where you would get a higher DPS output.


The Skill Build

6 - Mind Wrack
0 - Flames of Insanity
0 - Lurch
6 - Inner Focus
6 - Amplify Pain
0 - Psychic Lash
0 - Blur
6 - Neural Shock
0 - Sympathetic Anguish
0 - Psychic Binding
6 - Precision


Used Skills Explanation

Mind Wrack - Best damage ranged skill (15-25), why wouldn't you use it? With a 6 second cooldown this should be a no brainer. Plus it rocks when it crits.

Amplify Pain - Gives you an extra +10 Crit and +15 Damage every 8 seconds! That alone is worth the skill. Did I mention it comes with a complementary -120 armor debuff on your target.

Neural Shock - I've respecced a few times before I settled down with this skill as opposed to Sympathetic Anguish or Lurch. Does 12-26 damage plus is very effective as a support skill against bosses due to it giving a debuff on the target of -20 Hit and -4 Crit for 5 seconds.

Precision - Gives you +14 Hit and +60 Crit, unfortunately it has a 60 second cooldown but don't let that get you down, in my build, you use it everytime its up!

Inner Focus - Did I mention I was Poor? That is why I have this skill, I honestly can't remember the last time I had to purchase any Power Packs, you occasionally have to use stims but this skill cost you no mana to use and who doesnt like FREE Health and Mana in times of need! It's not a waste either, with my build if used properly you will run out of mana.



Unused Skills Explanation

Flames of Insanity - I didn't bother using this skill because between Lurch and Neural Shock it has a longer cooldown time. Plus a stun is almost pointless on the trash in this game because with a reasonable group stuff dies fast.

Lurch - Did I mention this build was for lazy operatives? The last thing I want to be doing is chasing my target all over the map, not to mention sometimes Lurch is more effective than normal and it will send your target clear to the other side of the map..lol

Psychic Lash - Don't need to root stuff because its dead by the time you use the skill.

Blur - You should probably Delete your character if you have this skill and reroll a commando. If you have this skill its because you want to tank, at least for 6 seconds anyways!

Sympathetic Anguish - This was the other skill that I was debating if it was more valuable than Neural Shock. I came to the conclusion that the 3 second cooldown over Neural Shock wasn't worth it because despite this skill having a possible chance to hurt multiple targets by the time it has a chance to jump everything is already dead. So it was almost worthless.

Psychic Binding - Long cooldown plus if you kill stuff fast enough you won't have to slow them down. =)

Skill Mapping

Once again this is for Lazy Poor Boys or Girls for that matter so here is the skill mapping for my build.

Bottom to Top
1. Mind Wrack 6 sec
2. Neural Shock 7 sec
3. Amplify Pain 8 sec
4. Precision 60 sec

5. Inner Focus 30 sec
6-8. Using this many skills would require too much effort and definitely wouldn't play into my "style".


How To Use This Build

Spam your skills! That's right! Of course that doesn't sound Lazy but hardly having to switch to your secondary mapping skill page is! When Precision is up make sure to use Amplify Pain with it, there's nothing more fun than watching mobs bow down to you with 92% crit chance. You could use Precision 2-4 times a run depending on the map. And if you play long enough you'll learn to control your Precision to the point where it will be available come boss time. As for Mind Wrack, Neural Shock, and Amplify Pain as stated in the Skill Mapping Section they cooldown one right after the other, so keep them pumping.


Conclusion

So there you have it, my Lay-Z-Poor-Boy Build. I've very satisfied with this build, it gives me the great amount of DPS needed in an op and also lays down support for the group while keeping me somewhat able to collect credits and not be poor in game like I am in real life. Feel free to critique the build in a nice friendly constructive manner if need be, your insight is always appreciated.. =) Anyways, thanks for reading! Hope its helpful to some.
