Water / Thermal Build help

[nighthawk9999]

I've been a long time lurker of the forums and have way too many alts to even keep count of - currently working on Water/Thermal as a concept and stumbled across a build. I don't understand entirely how builds work but I've sort of got a general idea.

 

This is the build I've been following:

From experience of other builds I've messed around with it seems to be very sub-optimal my dilemma is how to mess around with it to optimise it, and what should I be looking for generally. I like soloing, I do like the stealth/invis thing, not entirely fussed about the whole +4/8 thing but just like generally messing around in missions and blowing stuff up 🙂 

 

Thanks!
