well now that perplex runes exist p/s is better since its so much easier to spam cover conditions for your 25 confusion stack with pistols 4 condis on 1/2/3 as opposed to rifles 2 condis on 3/5 (2’s immobilize is another condition you want to protect with covers).

and dat shield with up to 3 interrupts.

straight rabid, or dire/rabid mix when patch hits
6 perplexity rune
toolkit + choice (personally i like rocket boots)… bombs, grenades, a stunbreak… w/e

10 explosives (incendiary powder)
10 firearms (pistol recharge)
10 alchemy + 10 tools (speedy kits + invigorating speed)
20 inventions if you want shield cds, 10 if you want protection when critted
20 alchemy if you want protection when cc’ed
30 explosives if you want grenades
20 firearms if you use pistols enough to want piercing shots
