Hi there,
First off im a noob with some experience, 2 years ago I did a mele psy char, at lvl 8 I decided to wait for the expansion (I didnt know it would take that long lol).
I was unable to decide between shotgun and machete , with the new feat Versatility I decided to make a build around this.
then I saw a build on this forum spear + shotgun so I decided to give it a try with machete and my own flavor.
Now im level 6 and about to go to Junkyard get the drill main board and Im not sure about my build anymore mainly because I think I have
encounter a bug with shotgun :
- My accuracy is never above 80%, I tried the sandbang in SWS Medical floor and with every other guns i get 95% (assault rifle , pistol, smg) but with my shotgun im stuck at 80%.
the shotgun I use is a crafted Tactical Sovereign with a foward grip (long barrel so I dont have accuracy penalty) and strength requirement is 5
Can anyone tell me if thats a bug or there is something i dont get here ?
My build :
Level 6
Str : 6
Dex :11
Agi : 7
Con: 5
Per : 3
Will : 3
Int : 6
--------------------------
skill :
gun : 0(38)
Throw : 15(23)
mele : 40(63)
dodge: 35(46)
Evasion: 40(53)
Stealth : 20(35)
Lockpick : 20(36)
Traps : 20 (36)
For detection purposemechanics : 30(35)
Electro : 10
tailoring : 30
Psycho : 25 (force field)
temp manip : 35
----------------------------
current Feats: Nimble, Recklessness, versatility, flurry, Parry.
Im planning on taking those Core feats for the build, im not sure about the order i was planning to play and see and adjust a bit :
-Versatility
- Recklessness
- Nimble
- Flurry
- Parry
- Riposte (i was not sure about this one maybe see I was about to wait and get the machete with 2 riposte that apparently you can get )
- Ripper (now this one i cant get it without investing 2 points in will a mistake I made )
- Onslaught
- Cheap Shot
- Psycho-temporal Acceleration
------------------------------ defense and mobility
- Sprint or Fancy foot work
- Uncanny Dodge
- Evasive Maneuvers
------------------------------Shotgun feats
- Leading Shot
-Sixth Shell
- Pellet Mayhem
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and today I realized im short on will to get ripper. And with that I have a lot of questions :
- Is this a big deal if i skip ripper and take cheap shot and critical power instead?
- Should i invest 2 point in will and further reduce my dex to get ripper ?? worth it or not. or instead put one point in strength to get decapitated and full auto for shot gun?
- Expose Weaknesses : I need to know if I dont take this and use shotgun to get through tough armor guy, is this smart or stupid ?
-- Pellet Mayhem : weaponsmith could be better with 5% crit at all time and not conditional with both machete and shot gun .
should I drop pellet mayhem?
- I feel shotguns are underwhelming right now at least at my lvl, of course I dont have any feats yet but are they good later on , right now I do more dmg with assault rifle they cost less ap and are more accurate (consider that I maybe have a bug with shotgun too, I need to know about this )
- My though process was I use flurry when I missed I switch to shotgun wait CD and go back to machete and so forth, is this build viable for normal difficulty or am I too spread out and should reconsider and restart?
Im open to any Idea and opinions
TY
