Thanks for the comments.
I should have changed the post. I'm going for fist weapons now, thinking of using the ripper glove with a taste for blood and vile weaponry. Also, I don't want to put any points in strength, I know I will do less damage this way but I want more movement and will compensate for damage with more crit chance
I have first weapons swinging for 6 AP which is doing fine for me.
I also don't want to use any other melee weapons, hence ignoring strength. For high dt enemies, I use expose weakness and/or grenades and that seems okay for now.
I'm just about at core city content and so far I'm doing fine. The hardest content has been the Black crawler area and the larger groups of psi bugs. The psi bugs are fine now howvever still haven't managed the crawlers. But I'm not too worried that area is annoying with any build, I'll just go back later.
