Hey there, OP here from before (that other character had a lot of wasted points...and other problems) I've taken the suggestions to heart and I'm happy with the base of this character in almost every way. I'm just using my initial points to upgrade my core skills, and although I don't have money to spend on aurum, I'm doing a bunch of different faction warfare matches to try things out instead. I'm pretty sure that I'll end up going Caldari assault eventually. It has the stats I like, the speed I need, and looks to kill( And that state variant is unf!).
I still have no idea what I'm going to use for a main gun yet. Nothing's really speaking to me atm, but I am doing surprisingly well with a combat rifle and assault rifle, so far. Wish I was good with the rail rifle for racial RP but I am just as terrible as one could be with it right now. I'm still looking for a good mid-range cover fire light weapon, and close-range flanking sidearm combination. I seem to be good at flanking enemies(without a scanner), and even if the other blues aren't to bright, they make a good distraction to help me get into position.
Do you guys think I should wait until 1.8 before skilling into any weapons? That bolt pistol sound right up my alley. |

Thought I should give a little update on how Ashe's journey has been so far.
After hours and hours of testing, research, matches, and alts, I've decided to stick with, and skill into the Assault Rifle (I'll think of an RP excuse later). More specifically, the Breach AR. Why didn't anybody tell me how good this was. It has the power and dps that I like from the RR, but it retains the kick and accuracy of the default AR, which will only get better in time. Getting into range requires a bit of work, but I planned this character around to be able to get into range with ease. I am destroying with this gun in even fights, surviving surprise attacks, and taking heavies 1v1. Happy day indeed.
I've gotten all my 2nd stage core skill (armor upgrades, etc.) up to level 3, and nanocircuitry to level 1. I burned through my active sp already, so I'm waiting on my passive to get it to level 2, and I'll probably stop there for a little while. After that, I'm not so sure. Even for my level, I feel like I'm dying faster than I should in certain circumstances. I planned on making this character a cal assault and cal heavy, but I'm trying to avoid basing my plans on unreleased content. I did that with the rail rifle and that went south, quick. Grenades may be my safest choice, since she's going to use those regardless of build (not doing a commando again).
That said, this is the most upbeat I've been about a character since I can remember. Let's hope it continues :D |
