WarTek: In Honor of Pulsewave's Power Armor

Greetings all.
This is my character WarTek. I have spent many a retcon to come up with this build, and I wanted to share it with you.

The title says in honor of Pulsewave, because he set the bar for all power armor builds with his own ideas and research, and sadly, hasn't been around much since. I've loved power armor since closed beta, so I always looked forward to reading his posts. As such I was always trying his builds, and attempting to modify them for my own.

Last year, he developed the Gyrojet armor, which I used and modified and got to 40 with. But I always thought it needed a little something more.

This is a RETCON build, but I did attempt to set it up as leveling. This is also NOT a PVP build. This build is a pure range DPS build with some survivability. Will it top DPS charts on big boss fights? Nope, Two Gun Mojo has that covered, but the DPS is very respectable, and can run three powers without going empty.

For the record, I am not a build guru. I merely took what Pulsewave laid out, and modified it for my own enjoyment.

The keys to this build are Quarry and Ego PSS. Quarry for the DPS, dodge, and stacks of audacity. Ego gives us lots of goodness with increased defense, crit severity, cost reduction, and crit chance.

INT and END as secondary SS give us some reduced cooldowns and cost reduction and energy to keep attacking with three toggles. And with audacity stacking, Guardicator, and EGO and INT as super stats, well.....long story short: You hit harder, get more defense, crit more, get better cost reduction, crit harder.....just by attacking.Yea, you get better by attacking.

Gear. I have Silver Champions Gear and some crappy secondaries. I geared for crit, cost reduction and dodge, and only have rank 4 mods at best in them. So no, i didn't spend resources getting gear. Only what I found, quested or earned in game.

For those wondering, I have hit 11k with Chest Beam, while running Minigun and Concussor Beams. Like I said, nothing earth shattering, but respectable. Those three powers are my set up for single target boss fights. Always TAP Chest Beam for the debuff, then go to town. AoE is all about Minigun, Micro Munitions and Plasma Beam. Yes, Plasma Beam. I know, it has TONS of issues, but i love this power. It literally melts mobs down.

Does my build have too many attack powers? Probably. But I like the way it has an answer for AoE and Single target with both using three Toggles. But you could get rid of Concussor beams for Sonic Device, Implosion Engine, Conviction, Unbreakable, or even Fire All Weapons (which actually makes me laugh when i stomp a room with it). You get the idea.

Is this build perfect? Nope. King DPS? Uh-uh. Fun as all get out while giving lots of numbers flying above the heads of mobs? Definately.

What powers I chose were based on feel, and napkin math. (Not hardcore numbers, or spread sheets, or even a basic understanding of Cryptic math) If you know something could be better, please share it. I am learning as i am playing, and would welcome any insight anyone would have to offer.

So, Thank You for your ideas Pulsewave, and I hope someone else enjoys my build.
