Ive almost gotten my EW sniper to level 21. pretty sure I got the build from ravenous rat.
it uses jet, buffout, nukacola and cigs. Gives you 71 crit on eyes and 2 aimed eye shots. However, the dmg res drop from jet does not agree with me and so I decided to revamp the build - excluding jet from the mix of things.
before build: with 95 chance to hit eyes, 71% eye crit, 12ap, 174hp and pretty shitty FA and doc skills. tagged skils: good natured and small frame

After build: 95% to hit eyes, 71% eye crit chance, 12 ap and 171 hp. decent doc and FA levels as well as 0 DR reduction. jet is optional to get to 14 ap but 12 ap is enough for amed eye shots and very good ap regen. tagged skills: finesse and small frame.
I know finesse lowers dmg significantly, so bypass criticals would be essential for any pvp success in this build.

critique the build. use it. modify it. i dont care :)

Finesse really sux on EW build. Btw you have the same crit. chance (71% eye crit.) as on the first build, but with finesse. Show me at least one advantage over that build. Also 224% ew skill is too low.
-
yea I know finesse is pretty balls, which is why i havent actually used the build. On FCP it said that I had enough skill to get 95% hit on eyes from max range, seems to be enough EW skill to me. But yeeee the main point of this type of build is to fire off 2 aimed shots in a single turn. or in real time: to fire off 2 shots 1 after the other and have fast enough ap regen to shoot a 3rd in moments. I'm gonna keep playin around with things

Strange, FCP is telling me the same thing, 95% on eyes. Even 190% skill should be enough according to FCP, probably some kind of bug I think.

I think you forgot to enter enemy AC. 35 for a 10AG BA guy.

You're right Crazy, it was my mistake... I was watching the torso instead of eyes ;D (such a fail)
I believe it was also your problem borse, you have only 61% to the eyes :-\

Just few general thoughts about your build.
1.Jet is not realy that bad for EW sniper, you are not gonna go rambo anyway, its not a plazma build, you main enemies will be snipers and rockets so no real point to care about dmg resist.
2.As many pointed out, 224 is too low. Take points from FA and invest into EW skill, SS will do the trick for healing.
3.Finnese is a wrong choice indeed, not worth taking. Stick with good natured to save some more points.

it will be much better to have 6 endurance and 1 lifegiver instead of 4 endurance and 2 lifegivers. This is the best ew sniper build on this session.

The best build of this session which can't use the whole potential of the weapon? Laser rifle can shoot 45 hexes, you see only 44.

The build Gazz posted is nothing special, there are better builds. And 8 Perception? Come on, its made for pve or something? You will be hammered so many times by snipers that it wont be pretty.

actually no big difference 44 or 45 hex for laser, coz lazers dont pool the militia and they dont start the fight. They have to do a damage, when enemy starts to rush or smth, so no big difference 44 or 45 hex. And u , as a skilled player know this already.

I don't say it's bad (it has pretty good crit. chance), just that I wouldn't call it "best", that's all.

I wouldn't call it "best"
I dont see the problem that you cant shoot one more hex, the problem is that you wont see your targets. With 47 or 50 hexes makes much easier to stop the rushes and counter snipers, especialy other lasers.
I see the build can do well in big groups in some situations, but as was said, its not the best build.

Laser rifle is not sniper weapon, but just long range gun. It's selling point is only very high damage with high range, but that damage is not pointless even in distances closer than 45h.
It means it could really be good idea to do more resistant rifle soldier, but the weapon effect is still way too random to find this weapon useful for raw damage.
Because the weapon is neither real sniper weapon, nor good damage dealer, it's not that bad idea to try multiple builds, as none of them is answer for everything. But honestly, this weapon appears to be useful only for it's cool factor and mainly broken encounters allowing players to stockpile tons of them with little effort, as the weapon really has no niche. It's not that cool for PKs either because of the visible projectile.
Anyway, if you are looking for non-jet laser, you should probably use something similar to your first post, but drop action boy in favor of weapon handling and increase luck instead.
Or maybe even use second lifegiver instead and use toughness instead of awareness and take plasma weapon with you. Buffout gives some protection from criticals, so it shouldn't be a complete failure.
As mentioned, finesse is not a good choice. Even when the damage is completely reliant on bypassing criticals that ignore finesse penalty, you still lose the little steady damage you can do. (and unless it's metal armor, you still get full 30% penalty, which is just too much for a weapon which is based on it's high damage).

the way you put it johnny, my current build will let me use plasma rifle more effectively than laser rifle. I already know that i put too many skill points into other skills so my max to hit eyes at 45 hex is like 50% lololol. That's kind of why I wanted to remake.
