Though I love Mini Gun and U-238 Rounds, it's a toggle power and its debuff lasts only 4 seconds, which is a very small window to take advantage of. Your Munitions Bots will benefit some, but their damage output is fairly minimal. I would prefer to couple Mini Gun with another toggle, as you have to deactivate toggles to activate any other attacks, which closes your narrow window even further. Tactical Missiles or Micro Munitions are not bad choices, as you can activate them together with Mini Gun and take full advantage of your debuff. Replacing Mini Gun with another similar non-toggle power, such as Gatling Gun, is another possibility.

Oh, but Minigun can be used with -any- maintain, if you just get the timing in. Such as Pulse Beam Rifle, so keep that one.

What I'd do would be this:

Exchange Bionic shielding for Iniquity. You won't need anything else besides Conviction for yourself, trust me my girl ticks that for 2k, you'll probably have a wee bit lower but with a 3 seconds cooldown it won't matter. I'd also switch AD from unbreakable to Masterful dodge, more reliable. If you want it to heal your pets, rank iniquity to 2 and get the adv. otherwise get r3.

I'd take out one of the travel power from r3. Not only will it save you 2 points, but also give you one that is a viable choice indoors as well, so you won't end up stuck in corners everywhere.

Replace TK shield with force sheathe with adv. or get Laser Shield with Phalanx defense system (since you're primary attack is coupled with minigun, it should activate when you go on the offense).

With those defenses, you should be able to ditch IDF for Concentration to up energy management and damage output of yourself.

Next, I'd switch places of sonic device and MSA, and pick an AoE there instead, preferable a maintain to go with minigun (Such as Gatling gun, SMG burst or Storm of arrows)

Those are just a few ideas to try.

I forgot to add that this is a non leveling build, I'm just exchanging builds.

Another Idea is this:

Get Storm of Arrows with the Adv. which causes it to root all affected targets.

Exchange Guardian Spec for Overseer spec and get "Trapped".

Your main AoE will now also lower all affected targets' defense against all damage, including that of your pets, by 9%. If you add that to Minigun, you have a pretty potent debuff going for you. Of course you'd lose the Best Defense Spec, so it might weigh up, Not certain.

I'm hoping to run the above build soon, can I have some feedback on it please! TY!

Sonic Device is worthless at rank 1 especially without even a damage toggle. Remember that ONH are weaker when used with AoEs. Drop it. Move around your powers so it goes Gadget Energy Builder - MSA - Bionic Shielding. With the open power pick take an in theme AO of your choice.

Drop Rank 2 from mini-gun, you won't be trying to kill anything with it anyway. For that you'd also want the other advantage to extend its AoE, but you don't have the points to get everything. If this is for debuffing the mobs for your teammates and pets I would just take both advantages and call it done.

I would drop one rank from Bionic and put it in conviction since you'll be using it a lot more often, but that's just me.


A word of caution, your pets are going to be very squishy because you did not put any points into the Evasive Action specialization. I strongly advise that you reconsider this. Take the points you put into relief for it. You only have one pet that is capable of healing anyway (drones) whereas all your pets will benefit from the + 25-50% additional AoE damage resistance.

Overseer is additive and thus bad, take the points from it and put them into either conservation or enhanced gear.

Yeah good choice since LnL increases your critical chance and as an extension your pets as well.
