I previously was using VI and HLC instead of Pred and mangler... but I realized that the PS bump wasn't doing much, and the range one hole limited 88B's ability. Does this new build seem like it will be a solid improvement? Any other tips or suggestions?
You should have at least 1 HLC. Typically, people put it on 'C'. Instead of veteran instincts, you could consider adrenaline rush (given the aggressor's aversion to stress). You could also leave predator+advanced sensors and drop inertial dampeners on one of them (probably C) and that would put you at 100.
I've been using this bro-bots list recently. It's a lot of fun to fly. And very effective.
I was wondering about the viability of equipping one of the Bros with a Flechette Cannon, since stress can cripple most arc-dodgey builds. I don't like leaving points on the table; I mean, even if the Flechette is more useful than the Mangler in one game out of every 10, isn't that still prefferable to just eating those two points?
