Great vid, Fvux, nice to see that my recommendations worked for you
@Laceration
1.: yes, accelerant packed turrets is a valid option for this build imo, still transmute will save your kitten so often against stuff like fears and panic strike that it’s almost too good to give up on. Common s/d builds take TK and therefore have gearshield as defensive option, so the absence of transmute doesn’t hurt this much, but in this case it’s really a matter of taste, and judging from the vid, it was working just fine, especially since a traited rifle already gives you all the cc you really need.
2.: Deployable turrets is a 2-edged sword, since it also messes with the healing turret combo and excels only in situations where you want to camp and protect your turrets by unreachable positioning. When it comes to the mobile combat this build features, DT-projectiles are just too slow and APT has a too narrow range to be used effectively on range, kinda the same issue you have with nades on long range.
Scope mainly serves as support for hipshot, surprise shot, rocket and the s/d projectiles, all being supported by the RNG burst on crit from air+fire, so the benefit of the trait is improved ranged peeling and cleave. In the vid you could see the one chaar necro that tried to turn aroud and run away. Noticed all the crits and air+fire procs? In this moment scope was the lucky choice.
Alternatively one could choose armor mods for more rng defense, which greatly improves melee situations and messes with enemies’ burst rotations. I personally rather run armor mods, but both work equally fine and give you advantages in this build.
Engineer is love, Engineer is life.
