Fundamentally there is a big difference between a heavy armor wearing a sledgehammer or a lightly armored knifer. There is also again the question wether you want to go stealthy Psionic or heavy armored juggernaut Psionic.Īs to melee, again wrong. Thoughtcontrol is primarily CC with some damage, defense and utility. Psychokinesis is almost exclusively single target burst with some CC and utility. Metathermics are mostly AoE and single target damage with a little CC and a little protection All three schools are very distinct in terms of what they provide. PSI is far from being all the same unless you mean full PSI but there are hybrid builds which only use one or two schools.

Crossbow also has better synergy with traps than Sniper which can also be build as hybrid with PSI or get some utility from grenades or technical gadgets depending on which skills you pair it with. Sniper gameplay revolves around finding a good spot far away from the enemy, prepare the ground probably with traps and then burst one or two targets away in the first round with Snipe and Aimed Shot while luring enemies into your minefield.Ĭrossbow is similar to Sniper but has the advantage of having special bolts which you can shoot for free essentially and have effects similar to certain PSI powers or grenades. Sniper are essentially required to be build for Stealth since their strong point is burst through their signature feat Snipe. Out of all the builds a heavy armor assault rifle build is probably the easiest to make and play. That means of course that their mobility is limited but they have a higher effective range and can also do decent damage with Aimed Shot for example. Furthermore they have much higher strength requirement to get the full benefit out of them at 7 for Full Auto feat which means they tend to be more geared towards heavy armor/high con builds. SMG base damage is also relatively low especially at low levels so you will struggle more with heavy armor.Īssault Rifles do not nearly profit as much from Expertise and are much better at being build for crit. Thanks to close range and burst requirement to deal good damage you need feats to be able to close in and out of range and/or use grenades properly and also you will want probably stealth/light armor since heavier armor really gimps your movement. They also make good use of the Expertise feat. SMGs are only really effective at close range.
