Before I went all out with it I was wondering if cold is alright and semi comparable to FF. I had a bots/ff and it was super good for me, I really liked the lazy playstyle of force field. I could just fire and forget and they would stay pretty bullet proof. I wanted to try mercs now that they fixed the ranged minions, and i wanted to try something other than force field, i was thinking sonic but then i noticed cold had the same kind of bubbles but it also has a cool aoe stealth field thing that I would like. And if it is good does any one have a good merc/cold build that i could look at? The more expensive the better

Yeah I get that it's not the ideal mm set, especially for soloing the game, compared to a bots/ff or something. I wasnt getting kin for my own recharge, more so i just like playing support on teams and i like kinetics and i figured kinetics was one that hybrided well because it takes very few slots to be effective. So to change it up from my usual controler/kinetics set I thought it might be fun to branch out and try a mm set. I chose thugs mainly because of the fun little tricks like 2 gang wars at once using burnout. But knowing that it's already gimped compared to other sets, that's why I asked if any one had a good build, I'd rather be as optimized as possible so that I can at least be average enough to bring along.

I've skimmed through the 13 pages of posts here and cant find a thugs/kin build to follow. Can any one help me out with how to slot what with what? I could care less about repels and knockbacks but a whole lotta hasten and gang war being close to perma would be fun. Also I like being invisible. I'm fine with a more expensive build I have a farmer
