Build Decision

Post » Sat May 12, 2012 3:30 am

Ok I need to plan this out.

So my original build was going to be:

7
5
8
1
7
6
6

I'm not a fan of charisma, I happen to prefer playing solo. So it's my dump stat, That and my character is normally an alchoholic, and a mentat addict.

Now with these stats and the implants I come out with

8
6
9
1
8
7
7

I always wind up taking the +1 agi trait, Small Frame. I also receive two strength from completeting OWB

10
6
9
1
8
8
7

Now I've been thinking. How important is strength? I receive 3 points over the course of the game, I can also use the perk Weapons Handling to decrease my strength requirements by -2 in the case of weapons. After taking the perks Pack Rack (I always play hardcoe) Burden to Bear, and Strong Back.

Now I was thinking:

5
5
5
5
5
5
5

+ 5 points to spend. (7 points from implants, 1 point from trait, 2 points from OWB, +1 point from LR) = 16 points over all to spend. (Not counting points from Intense Training)

Now the weapons I plan to use. Anti-Matiriel rifle (GRA) shall be my Long range weapon. Katana/Ballistic Fist shall be my CQC Weapon(s). Ranger Sequioa/.45 Auto (Or Light Shining in Darkness) Shall be my Close-Mid Range weapons.

AMR = 8 Str
Katana = 4 Str
Ballistic Fist = 9 Str
.45 Auto/A Light Shining in Darkness = 3 Str
Range Sequoia = 6 Str

So for this build to be effective I would need at the maximum 7 Str for weapons purposes (With Weapons Handling)

That leaves me with:

4+ Impant + OWB = 7
5
5
5
5
5
5

Points to spend = 14

4
5
5
1
5
5
5

PtS = 18

Plugging in my old set up, minus the strength I get

4
5
8
1
7
6
6

PtS = 11

With Implants, Traits, and OWB

7
6
9
1
8
8
7

PtS = 3

Where would these last three points best be spent?

I was thinking 1 for endurance, means I can get the Charisma implant, will put me at 2, and I'll have 10 Endurance.

1 for Agility, for Faster Reload/Weapon Draw, 9 Agility.

8 Luck for higher Crit.

Thoughts? Endurance from a min/maxers perspective gives you access to another "point" but I just wonder if the charisma implant would be worth it for me. Without it I can get another point in intelligence, or Agility, or even luck.

Suggestions?

I am a hardcoe player who uses Guns/Melee/Unarmed with Light Armor who prefers solo play, but I do try to Befriend some companions.
