Looking for Laser knight 3.0!

Hi guys,

At the moment I'm using the Laser Knight 2.0 build and it's awesome! Although it seems to lack dps (I'm lvl 22) and can handle 2 giant robots from revolution but it takes AGES to kill em xD. Is it possible to add more Umpf damage wise to this build? I'm open for suggestions


Current build: Laser Knight 2.0

At first glance, I would say if you wanted to up your damage while leveling, I would change superstats to DEX/Con/Int. This will keep most of your survivability and give you a lot more crit and crit severity. Then I would trade out IDF for Form of the Tempest. This should give you the damage boost you are looking for...at least until the point you feel comfortable switching back to your original build.

Okay, as requested here is Laser Knight 3.0. This build is very similar to one I'm currently running and just hit 25 with. I'm using Nem Secondary Gear and mission reward primary gear. My DPS output is rather high....and my survivability is fair. With this set up you won't be able to tangle with the Mega-Destroids solo like you could with 2.0. But with 3.0 your sustained damage will be enough to deal with just about anything else...with this one if you don't have the Nem Gear or the 11k Q set (I recommend taking the Armadillo Primary and the Power Armor Secondary gears from those sets.) Sure mixing both you don't get the super bonus from having all 6, but you do gain enough of a bonus for damage and defense to justify the taking....

Now with Unstoppable over Electric Form for the DPS set up for a simple reason....Electric Form might be able to provide a better direct bonus for the Laser Swords, but the bonus (per the tool tip) is negligible between Electric Form's Energy damage bonus vs Unstoppable's Non-physical melee bonus. And Unstoppable has a better defensive feature than Electric Form....If you want a firey aura around your character you can swap Unstoppable for Way of the Warrior and gain a comparable damage boost, however bear in mind the Particle Burn DoT ticks are ignored by Way of the Warrior's bonus to Bleed DoT ticks despite a similar mechanic behind them...
