Is this idea good/viable - TC + ENG gun

[Ederson]

I am planning on making a mind controller and would like your opinion if the general idea is good and what could be changed to make it better.


The idea is having energy pistols as damage dealer to supplement thought control CC. Being able to uncover most secrets in the game, meanwhile eng pistols and high perception covers TC biggest weaknesses: Stealthied enemies and robots.

Looks like a fun and versatile build, but generally speaking you don't want to dump Dex if you're using energy pistols - that AP reduction is huge... but your attributes are already spread thin enough. If you want a TC+Guns build with that kind of attribute spread you want to go with a weapon that doesn't rely on Dex, like ARs or shotguns.

Hmmm. The assault rifle has no agility though and that can hurt mobility and stealth as well as dodge/evasion.

I could switch agility and intellect to dex and end up with 6-8 dex reducing the cost to shot the laser from 15 to 14 or 13. It would also help with grenades and lockpicking.
