Just wanted some input/suggestions on it.

P.s. this is my first post on the forums.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Personally, I'd take Battle Hardened first, then Sprinting Reload. I'd also take the Extra Supplies first, then Firewall, and probably Adrenaline as well before the Sticky Bomb.

Also, are you certain you can save points to spend on higher-level abilities - I'm expecting you probably can't - no characters get more than the 1 Rank 5 ability.

im almost certain he meant Lvl 20 EMP Grenade (R5) OR Lazarus Grenade (R5)

You cannot save ability points. You must spend them or you will not level.

what do you mean "save points" where did he save point to spend it ?

Level 14.

I'm almost certain he didn't.

feel free to slap me

same goes with you, slap me.
i actually though "save point" was an ability.

SO you can save point or not?
I actually think you can, at first I thought not but then in some video (taken off) I saw someone save point but Im not totally sure since I couldnt rewatch it...

No intent to slap ... I missed that, too. And I do know that there isn't an Ability called "Save Ability". :sadvaultboy:

If you can save a point, you won't be able to wait until you've leveled up then spend it on a higher level ability. Your level doesn't get counted until you've bought the ability, so you won't be able to buy the higher-level ability until you've spent the lower-level point.

If you start at level 12, and save 3 points as you level up, hoping to spend them all on Rank 4 abilities when you're level 15, you'll still be level 12. You'll only be able to buy Rank 3 abilities at that level. Buy one, you'll go up to level 13. Next ability takes you to 14. NOW you can buy that Rank 4 ability you've just leveled up enough to get.

This isn't from someone who's played the game, and is based on implied information, not confirmed, but it makes sense that they'd make it this way.

I think that most builds should probably include Combat Intuition. Seems like an ability that can save your life time and time again. It tells you when someone is aiming at you, and even puts the person on your map.
