I haven't dropped this build into mids yet, but if you want to do more during battle I would recommend Pulse Rifle Burst.

Decent damage, good knock back, and available at low levels. Heck chaining that with force bolt and Nemmi Staff means you can keep most threats on their ass
while the bots fill them with lazery goodness.

I would drop one of the leadership powers to make room for it. (my preference: Assault, hurting things shouldn't be a problem with your slotting)

I might take this, honestly. Assault is mostly there because, at the time, I had nothing better to really select at that point, and the bonuses
add up. I might finangle this concept, see if I can fit in some slots on PRB to make it workable. I actually had an excess of slots on a few powers(notice how
many five slotted ones I've got, fer'ex), so that might not be too hard. Don't have the Nemmy staff yet, but it's only a matter of time.

I'm tempted to bitch about the minor bonuses Blood mandate gives, and how you can get more regen by frankenslotting, but I guess regen's not a
problem for you.

Not really, but mainly because with the added endurance, as well as recharge bonuses, I can generally find time to heal myself whenever I need it,
and if they burst damage more than that, I'm likely dead on my feet before the salvo ends. :lol

It also seems like all of your active combat abilities come at the tail end of the power choices, if you are exemplared down, what are you going to do?

Part of this is that Largo is already 50. The build itself changes little(aside from travel power selection) in the early stages, because
that's a point where I probably *will* be hiding behind the bots as much as possible. But since I tend to play Largo at higher levels a bit more than I do
lower ones(due to a surfeit of redside lowbies), the late game active combat works well for that. If someone can tell the difference between me having an ally
on auto-follow and me at the keyboard behind it during a Reichs fight, I'll consider it a success.

Don't feel bad that this is a solo-oriented build, Clank is a jack of all trades (ok, maybe a queen with all the slotting I've got going on) and a
master at none.

You don't need to spread yourself as thin. Focusing on hurting things in combat, and not walking such a razors edge of endurance, is a good thing.

I actually don't, due to the fact that whenever Largo's on, someone else usually has a rez and a better one than Resuscitation. Vengeance
is a mixed bag, and Detention field (while funny) is kind of more likely to irritate our user group than be beneficial. I still recall DFing a Longbow Warden
to concentrate on Numina only to find I'd misread the chat and we were trying to take the Warden out first....whoops. :lol: The only power I'm really
going to miss is Recall Friend, if only because PFF is excellent for "TankerStealth" deep penetrations on maps, but I'll deal with that as it
comes. Honestly, the rebuild's been a long bit overdue, and a quick combat test of it satisfied me quite a bit. Now the problem is just financing the thing
in a redside market. :lol
