heh, that what I was afraid of.

I was thinking with going either PSI, with a SMG / Assualt rifle, or going with a Sniper / Sealth (perhaps with temporal added to the mix).  If you dont mind - I have couple questions.

* With full PSI should I go Thought Control for primar damage, or Metathermics? Which will be bettter for early game?
* Should I invest in STR? I was thinking that, perhaps I should go with metal armor this playthrough, as my dodge / evasion build didnt work to well.
* Is it worth to invest in Guns early game in this build? Or should I focus on dmg with my PSI abilities?

Moreover, which do you recommend more sniper build or PSI?

Hi!

I just clocked 41 hours in Underrail and it seems, my 19 level Melee fighter struggles a bit too much.

Here is the build: http://underrail.info.tm/build/?EwgLBwQEBAYAJwBpaWlpRkYAACkMCghBAAAAaQAAACskTzE2wpkGEhPCjsKHGeKhuATfvw
The gear I currently use is Quake and Kukri. I tried using swords, but couldn't find anything  good. Hence, decided to go with the Sledge and continue using the knife.
I use an armor with total armor penalty 15% for Nimble to be used.
I am playing on normal, went to the Black Sea and I am really dying a lot. Really a LOT (and honestly I died a lot before). It seems there are tons of things that are one shooting me, from snipers, to some crossbows or people with sledges, or with acid weapons
The only thing that improved my gameplay, was those few psi abilities from temporal school.
Moreover, early game I wanted to spec for the knife, but the damage threshold of most enemies, means that I deal almost no damage. Hence the Dex investment seems really bad and in general, I am seriously considering to start over. The Quake helps a lot, earlier I used a machete, but this also wasnt very useable.
Did I really screw up this badly?
If so, how should go with it?  Are there any decent knifes out there in the expedition, or is this route a total dead end?
If so, I have some ideas for a new run, either through a full psi (thought? Or methatermics), or a sniper  temporal mix.
Really appreciate the help!!
