Mechanic Build - thoughts

[Vious]

That's fine by me, simply because mech's have an easy time PvE'ing anyway.

Update: I have robot detonation now, and I clear things like candy. Between nades and throwing time bombs into groups along with rolling thunder, things are a breeze. I tend to duo with a single friend of mine, so they know how I work, and allow clustering which is beautiful.

Question though: Should I remove the magic crit all together? I keep seeing builds that don't even touch it whatsoever and was wondering if that was a better choice, and get the 240ish instead of indom for pvp (which I -really- dislike) getting more levels in G series or....whatever for that matter.

Thank You in advance.

Magic crit only works for the G Series, Male mechs don't need to really touch the GSeries because the bots are more effective, so yeah lose the Mag Crit lol.

Alrighty. Taking everything I've learn thus far into account, I came up with this:

The reasoning behind a single level in camo is simply to help reposition in case i really screwed up. and managed to get myself cornered.

Also, got BBQ for the invincible frame mainly, but also because punisher is a really teeny tiny grab to land >_>.

Also, against my nature, I maxed out mech drop even though it didn't seem to scale that well in power. Instead of that, I was thinking of putting the points into G1 to maintain them for longer (mainly for boss rooms) to make up for not being able to infinitely rotate them.

Changes? comments?

If you don't like Punisher's small hitbox BBQ isn't going to be much better, especially since it can't break super armor.

Also keep in mind Camo has many uses outside escapes: it can be very helpful getting the jump on certain difficult enemies, especially since CPU enemies won't move until you become visible. In fact, right when you get it at level 30 it has a very good use: use it to sneak up on the Brawler in Silver Night.

This is just me but if I'm a Mech, I shouldn't be anywhere near the brawler even with Camo on. I'll just cherrypick with bots while I let my party handle the Brawler >_>

A. Camo affects the party, not just you
B. If you're soloing use it with the G-series to take out threats without fear of breaking the camo

I actually find the invincible frame of bbq to be quite useful, especially in tower of illusion. Is it worth getting anymore then one level in camo? The extra second doesn't seem worth it.

[AlexX]

The invincibility frames from BBQ don't really matter since enemies will just mill around you while you're invincible, so you have to run away anyways.

Anyhow, Camo raises by 2 seconds per level, which looks like very little on paper but is much more noticable in practice. That said, I wouldn't reccomend maxing Camo unless you really know what you're doing. I maxed it myself and don't regret it, but maxing it is a lot of SP to invest. Be sure it can't be better-spent elsewhere first.

Leave Camo at 1 if you're even going to bother getting it.
