Title: EW Crippler Leader build
Post by: aForcefulThrust on February 02, 2011, 11:22:59 pm
Is this possible? I want to cripple people with my laser rifle while i run around with a gang of 5 EW mercs.

Any Ideas would be great!

I may have a build...  It would.. need to be Very, very, dedicated too though. Levelling will be harsh.

You could possibly go SG crippler leader build :O Might be a little more effective.

energy weapon have lower dmg than SGs and even harder to get ammo, only 2 tipes of ammo:MFC & SEC
the only reason they are used is for there high critical chance

also, mind if i will help you level your caracter, i can make some energy pistols

Having 2 types of ammo doesn't change anything. Actually, there is no such kind of ammo, that is affecting critical change. You should think twice before replying.
Though, maybe you think so, because of Magneto-Laser Pistol? It have a "Penetrate" weapon perk, that is affecting Damage Threshold and therefore it causes to make more damage by this weapon, but still it have nothing to do with critical chance.

Brain lags again we got here.

The only reason to use EW rifle is extremely high peak damage on bypasses.
The only reason to use plasma pistols is extremely high  damage on low AP cost
The only reason to use laser pistols is extremely high  range  on low AP cost for crippling arms in 3 shots per turn

hell yeah!




So far I'm thking about...

S-3
P-6
E-6
C-9
I-4
A-4
L-8

Awareness, more critical, magpersonality, lifegiverx2, more critical, weapon handling.

Maybe take out a lifegiver or swap a more critical for better critical, idk.

I'm unsure about taking finesse.. Since EW has generaly higher dmg, the -30% dmg would effect it more then with SG.

Ok guys here are my 2 options, Any help is appreciated!!
(http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa157/chuckels0/FOnline/EWcommander2.jpg)
So this build would be more sniping with laser rifle and hanging back with the EW mercs while they snipe too. Buffout is not an options so I would just have to take the STR hit for this guy. Would i be able to snipe with 160% EW and 8PE(10 with SS)

and
(http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa157/chuckels0/FOnline/ewcommander1.jpg)
Not really enough PE to snipe, but more hp and can take weapon handling. Would probably use a plasma rifle on this guy.

What do you guys think!?!? I know not as good as a pure EW crippler, but having 5 EW mercs to back me should tip the battle in my favor or cost me some caps! just can't decide wich one to start lvling!

for first build, with only 7 action points, you might wanna use jet or something, for eyeshots.

Woops nevermind.

I've never used EW before so my bad, i figured it was 6 ap like sniper rifle.
