Mon calmari or Zabrak?

Im re-making my character. Im thinking Mon calmari because they have the best mind stats, but they look ugly and can't wear some armor

Or Zabrak has 900 willpower which is awesom + they have the equilibrium command to draw pool points from pools to balance them out.

I started as a Pistol/Doc/Zeb then switched to Rifle/Doc whenI realized I suck at incombat healing. I explain to peepsin raids I don't heal all I do is drag, drag, drag, your incapped behind or rez your sorry corpse so put the gun away and drag those fallen comrads.

For regular xp-huntingsoloing is so easy. You need many more tools than a pistol user to function at peak efficency. Buffed pets, Vercaputi, Yorrack and %mind+%damage powerupscreate a zeb doc that can spamspecials on a T-21 whilst wearing reasonablearmor.

If youtry to start as a Rifle/Doc you WILL be cash crippled. Don't do it. Start with a different weapon or even melee until the cash flow beginsfrom Stim/Buff/Resource sales.

On a final note, the zeb once every hourmindheal has saved my soul many times. That alone pushes the Zeb over the mon-cal in my opinion.

Once an hour they can equalize their 3 stat bars.

I think Mon Cal is probably better though. They don't regen as fast buttheir higher Focus value means theycan get off a lot more shots before having to stop and rest. Fast regen is cool, but getting off 2 more shots is cooler.

They can't wear some helmets (bone and chitin work, not sure about composite) but it really doesn't matter: as a rifleman you basically can't wear a helmet anyway without killing yourself.
