Alterations to power armour help with build

Hello, after changes to Chest Beam making it no longer a slot that can be used simultaneously with other PA powers my build has been made somewhat redundant. I used to be able to discharge 20k+ dmg every 7 seconds or so with the Chest beam/shoulder launcher combo. Would really appreciate any advice for it as it's my main character.

    Well.. Hand Cannon can replace Chest Beam as a slot that has windup and a big hit- if ur going for that playstyle. Hand Cannon and Shoulder Launcher do cost less energy vs the other PA toggles overall, though the issue w/ them is that their dmg is completely back-ended (not good if constantly having to block or deal w/ inc CC).

    Anyways, that build doesn't have much PA as is and isn't really a PA toggle build. It can work, though you'll prob want to drop Shoulder Launcher since its the only PA toggle there and will lockout all other powers.

    Chest Beam can be tapped for its Burn Through debuff, which will boost PBR's dmg for single-targets (you can also charge it for a knock, though keep in mind the scattering KB effect). Lead Tempest can be ur main AoE. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and Rec/End for energy.

    Damn this is a nice build, with the shoulder and hand cannon combo I'm gettting 30k on crit and 13 without. torn between that and the Chest Beam/PBR. No energy issues and survivability is all good - thank you very much!
