This is an awesome video, I especially appreciate the weapon discussion and I absolutely learned lots of new things there. If I may though, I personally think this build can be improved cyberware-wise. 1. Most importantly, I think nothing even comes close to the Apogee Sandevistan. The Apogee gives you +20% extended duration every time you kill an enemy which is high enough that you spend very little time outside of Sandevistan. 2. Because of that 20% extended duration you won't need Axolotl anymore, that's 55 cyberware points that can be used toward other iconic cyberware, particularly intertegumentary. The main ones are chitin (gives a lot of armor and +200% health regen if you have body maxed, which is pretty absurd coupled with the regen perks from body) and peripheral inverse (the iconic version of proxishield, which gives 45% damage protection instead of 20% (or 25%? I forget) of the normal version). 3. Replace bionic joints for epimorphic skeleton. It's 250 armor and 15% max health which is a big boon These improvements will net you about 250 more armor, and noticeably more damage reduction at close range (very useful in boss fights). That's pretty significant when added up with the carapace reduction. The caveats of this build are that: - it's a very lategame build, it uses very close to 330 cyberware points (which seems to be the cap) You can use bionic joints instead of epimorphic skeleton to save some capacity until you progress enough - in order to fill all your slots (for that 15% cooldown perk) you'll need to use a few filler or non-ideal cyberware, such as threatevac or kerenzikov boost system (even though you may not have kerenzikov). Heal on kill would've been nicer, although I rarely find myself lacking HP and ~10% per kill honestly isn't that important considering you barely get hit due to Sandevistan Happy experimenting, and thanks again!

Honestly not really. I just love going stealth with throwing knives so i added it to the build but you can feel free to go for body 20 to improve berserk rushing down bosses or whatever.

@ricepatty5258 10 ай бұрын

Yesss, The wrap handle, which gives you a whopping 23% crit chance for 5 seconda after swapping to/throwing a throwing weapons at tier 5++. That’s an entire 81% Crit Chance with throwing weapons with this guys build, 100% with the stabber. Basically that means you can put that point from Style over Substance into something like Parasite because you’ll be critting all day every day.

This is a similar build to mine except I prefer the Sandevistan! I'm around level 40 so my cyberware isn't all iconic ++. I prefer the electric Katana "The scalpal" with the electric throwing axe u get from the DLC. I heard the new Thermal katana is popular as well for these builds.

@rhoku 7 ай бұрын

Essentialy, you should level the skills that give you damage with your weapon initially for any build. So for this tree, since were goign dash/swords, rank those first. This is the case for ANY build btw. The points in body and technical ability are for late game.

im not too sure on all the differences but basically, its a bit more difficult to set up the super low cooldown sandy where you could basically just spam it on a 3 second cooldown but it feels more powerful as bullets fly faster and etc. in any case, Berserk works far better with blades imho

Don't most katanas already surpass the 2/second swing rate that microrotors says it can't exceed?

It cant increase it beyond 2/per second (basically if your weapon has a high swing speed like a knife it won’t multiply it beyond 2 per second and only increase it to that point, basically it doesn’t buff all weapons at the same rate but it does buff them no matter what)

@Ignatius256 10 ай бұрын

I'm not sure I follow, wouldn't it receive no buff for a katana that's already at 2.12 attacks per second? It can't go higher than 2 per second right, and katanas are already at 2.12@@theyfwsam2046

@theyfwsam2046 10 ай бұрын

@@Ignatius256 basically the speed it grants cannot go above an additional 2 attacks per second think of it as “20% buff but cannot exceed # for the buff” so basically you’ll always get a buff but it works severely better on slow swing weapons then fast ones (on faster ones the buff can be as low as like 5%) It’s very confusing I understand why you may not get it lol, I had to go through the files to figure out how it worked the first time

@gamersanonymous4me131 7 ай бұрын

If you can record gameplay then do testing, I did. The choice of using microrotors, or StaminaBooster? Of course your attack speed goes way down if you run out of stamina and the limit of 2 seems to be true as I use Byakko and in testing it did not seem to increase attack speed but the Stamina Booster did increase stamina necessary for multiple enemy attacks without a moment between attacks for the stamina to regenerate. So I quit using microrotors and replaced with Stamina Booster (although it wasn't a significant boost, just slightly noticeable).
