Help me salvage this Crab

[xhaledk]

Hi guys
I've got a problem. My Crab feels weak, and I can hardly do any missions solo. Is there a way to salvage this "build" ?

See pic below, can provide ingame pic if need be

Crab can be built to be amazingly strong. Mine has softcapped positional defenses, significantly high typed resistances except psi (which is moderate), and +37% damage, with decent recharge. 

 

You'll want to play around with mids/pines and see what you want out of it, but you can build them to be beastly it just takes a moderate influence and incarnate investment.

That said though the image you shared of the unslotted crab build in Pines gives me some concerns. The slotting for common sense powers is wildly off base, so giving you the benefit of the doubt, I assume you just randomly clicked on things to take a screenshot.

 

If that's not the case, you'll need to study diminishing returns and overall set bonuses to ensure efficiency and optimization.

Here's a Crab  build based on my old Crab I haven't remade yet.

 

Soft-capped positional defense, +50% resist to everything, perma-Hasten.

 

If you want a travel power, I suggest dropping Omega Maneuver or Assault.
