Build Advice :-3

[TrashmanShaggy]

Hey everyone!
I'm new to posting threads but screw it, I've always wanted too!
I need advice on what you guys think about the perk point allocation for a Smart Weapon/ Netrunner Build? My V is currently a level 40 on a Very Hard Diff level and I'm noticing that I am getting absolutely MELTED on any combat encounters. I have included the main Attribute points below. Please let me know what y'all think. Anyways, always trust in Dr.Paradox

Body: 7
Refelxes:20
Tech: 9
Int: 20
Cool: 5

Painkiller, Comeback Kid and Army of One from Body can be nice. Won't stop you getting "Melted" but passive regen is nice.

Glutton for War, First Aid, Transfusion and Health Freak from Tech will also provide more health recovery.

Chrome Constitution, Driver Update and Chipware Connosseur from Tech can provide some damage reduction, with the bonus stats on cyberware being adjustable to better suit your build.

Feline Footwork, Small Target and Unexposed from Cool can provide a bunch of mitigation chance if you're crouched.

Of course, one of the biggest defensive perks for such a build will be No Escape from Int. As it allows you to keep firing at enemies from behind cover without losing the lock on. Meaning you only have to peek out of cover long enough to get a lock and then you can hide being untargetable by enemies while shooting your lock on target safely.

But really, perks are secondary for survivability. Most survivability comes from Cyberware. You want to ensure you grabbing and upgrading Cyberware that provides good Armour: Things like Bionic Joints, Titanium Bones, Spring Joints, Kinetic Frame, Para Bellum, Carapace, Pain Editor, Cogito Lattice, Nano Plating.

Also, NeoFiber is a nice defensive boost as it buffs mitigation chance and strength.

Besides that, make good use of control quickhacks. Weapon Glitch on people with strong guns. Cripple Movement on melee enemies. Reboot Optics at T4+ will blind enemies making them harmless for a period of time.

There are so many tech speech checks. Id find it hard to live with a low tech level!

Prioritize tech, get your cyber ware armor up.

Hello,
I don't have permission to post threads yet so maybe we could use this one to discuss character builds in general?

I am no good with INT builds, I forget how quickhack combos work most of the time and when I tried the Canto on NCPD the damn thing spread to dozens of cops at once and crashed the game. It scared the hell out of me.

My favorite builds are the Invisible Blender Cyberninja with 15B/20R/20T/15C/11I focused on blades, optical cammo and near unlimited stamina thanks to a combination of Apogee, Dense Marrow, Axolotl, Adrenaline Booster and Isometric Stabilizer.

Armor is pretty low but when you combine Kinectic Frame, Spring Joints and NeoFiber you have 80% mitigation strenght and baseline 29% mitigation chance. I use countershell to deny one hit kills and peripheral inverse to keep close enemies from damaging me.

My weapon of choice is Jinchu Maru.

You're way above and beyond the requirement for posting threads, so you should be able to do it. Just not in Hot Topics.

The forum went offline for 4 days in my country and I wasn't aware we now had different sections. My firs assumption was that I got banned and lost acess to thread posting.

Anyhow, here is my Cyberware:

I would very much like if we dedicated this thread to build discussion as RPGs have a plethora of combinations one can use to have fun playthroughs.

Farm some cyberware shards and raise the cap. I dont find any meaning with optical came if i were you i will get chitin for armor. In hands section, replace it with immovable force (ricochet is useless to me) smart link or handlewrap. I try to get melee dmg option on all cyberware for throwing knife or katanas. Blood pump is must, heal on kill is funny to use if you have sandy. As an operationg system i would rather get militech falcon for extra healing. Also if you want close combat add peripheral inverse (%40 damage reduction in close combat which is good for fighting against maxtac) My go to gun is MA70 x-mod and byakko

Netrunner's best friend is a shotgun. Testera or Satara. Shotguns doesnt need any perks to work well.
