This is useful and enlightening and I clearly don't understand Procs as well as I thought I did
Are you suggesting I should load my health with the Procs and eschew the set bonuses?
I took Thunderstrike in that build because although I'm going for a "Stand Off" build I'm very aware that even the best defences will be breached at some stage and I have no meaningful CQC damage. Kick, GSA and the other prestige melee attack (name eludes me right now becuase I've never liked it) are not enough when the manure impacts the thermantidote!
Most of those KBs came almost naturally in the build. I didn't purposefully factor them in but I will take on board what you suggest and refactor.
