[Murcielago]

Roast you, ok! Turns out your superpower is killing people with your ugliness.

[jScooby]

Haha! Good one Murcielago! Glad to see veterans around, and glad to see us all back at it again.

On a more serious note, I would recommend that you add some positional or type defense to your build. You currently have an excess of s/l/e resistance and are past the 75% hard cap for scrappers. Defense and resistance are additive and really help a build with survivability. I would also recommend picking your alpha slot and adding it to your build as they are very easy to get these days.

[MunkiLord]

Couple quick notes:

 

I'm not a fan of Havoc Punch, I found Jacobs Ladder being a cone to be better for me, of course, your playstyle may disagree.

I feel like if you're going to spend the influence/merits to use Luck of the Gambler for set bonuses, it's worth finding an extra slot for the +7.5% recharge to be one of them.

I also agree factoring in the Alpha Slot would be a good idea since it's so easy to attain. At minimum Tier 3 should be expected relatively quickly.

 

[Erydanus]

Swift, Hurdle, Health, and Stamina are now inherent powers you gain at level 2. By selecting them in Mids you triggered it letting you construct a "legacy build". While the slots you allocated to some of these will still need to come out of your slot budget as you level, you'll need to select additional powers to replace them.

 

Congratulations. You have room for an Ancillary Pool.
