Support Gun Mage - Tuning Up My Build

spyralpegacyon

So after an absence of, um, two years, I'm back and fiddling around with my hero builds again. One of my old favorites was my lifestealing gun mage, a nigh indestructible Dirty Harry Potter. She was a force multiplier that also worked incredibly well while soloing in the Support role.

Then came the balance passes.

I used the free respec and she's still pretty tough, but I feel her DPS has sagged off a bit. And I was never happy with attempting to CC with her. Her base is being an AoPM support build with Lifesteal and Munitions, preferably including Gatling Gun. I'm open to ideas on improving around that.

You can get more dps, but its going to mostly cost you support power and healing power. Support builds typically can't get good dps due to the role's dmg penalty and the lower bonus dmg you get from SS's (and Compassion only getting half the dmg bonus of dps toggles). Also keep in mind that TGM, while still high dps, costs much more now, and energy issues w/ it can lower ur dps.

(Also, ranking Rebirth is a bit of a waste, imo.)
