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.
