Posted this over on the BH forum but not getting very far with it



Currently MBH/MP/SLx4x4.


Stats are:


120 Speed

230 Accuracy

270 Melee Def

285 Ranged Def


Have 4 skill points left over which I figured I'd put into FS Melee Defence - but then I thought I'd ask you guys for opinions as I might benefit from sticking them elsewhere... (I have unlocked all the relevant FS skills).

I would go for accuracy for killing those damn master defendors.

Well, with your options this is what you'd get:


Combat Prowess


Ranged Accuracy IV - +12 General Ranged Accuracy - 242 Accuracy

RangedSpeed IV - +12 General Ranged Speed - 132 Speed


Enhanced Reflexes


Melee Defence IV - +20 Melee Defence - 290 Melee Defence


You accuracy and defence are well in the relms of diminishing returns, but speed isn't... not sure what I'd choose though.

It's a tough choice


I considered speed but I already burn through my action pool pretty quick so not sure how much of a benefit it will really be.


Has anyone here been using FS skills to enhance their template? And if so do you see a benefit?

I've got 4/4/0/0 Combat Prowess and 4/4/0/0 Enhanced Reflexes on my Pistoleer.


It helps me a lot as I dont have any other ranged bonuses as the rest of my skillpoints are in elite medic trees.


Frankly, the FS bonuses are not tuned for the CU, they should be a percentage or a much higher value now than the rather tiny +12 and +20 that only made a real difference Pre-CU when caps were 125, now people have well over 125 in these stats so the bonuses are negligable.


The only way to test it would be to get hold of +12 worth of speed/accuracySEAs and try it with or without. In fact, get a doctor to give you an adrenaline boost buff... that 40 points of speed so will give you an idea of what more speed would do for you.


As for burning action, get some Reinforced stock powerups, they reduce SAC on guns by up to 30%, then get a doctor, food and spice action regen buff and your action problems should be sorted.

with 242 accuracy, he's still not going to hit his max value on his weapon. I am pretty sure it takes 250 for that to happen.

personally I'd put it into speed... but you can always do 2 boxes in speed and 2 boxes in accuracy to get a slight boost on both

I still haven't heard anybody report that FS Ranged Speed and Ranged Accuracy have been fixed yet. They've been broken for ages.

It's fixed, I even had to change my sticky post after logging in and seeing the +12's and +20's added to my base pistoleer stats on my character sheet...

Think I might go for the speed after all - picked up a fairly high damage high cap scatter last night, but it was cheap cos it's pretty slow (2.38). I guess that's where I'll see the biggest improvement anyway.

great. now I'm gonna have to work on getting the old man visit and doing dumb village quests, as I have 7 points available. Prolly will go 4 speed and 3 accuracy. I don't need defense as all I do is click a button and get +500 defense.
