Playing this build was a refreshing experience. but there are only a few curcumstances in game that let me play this build and not feel bad about it, here are my suggestions to make this viable:
Some SL nanos cyberdeck req. must be removed, the most important line being the nano resist debuffs, w/o constant barrage i can not land candycane on a lot of bosses and cant help the doc in team land his ubt. Candycane having 4sec cooldown makes it even worse when it is resisted, lowering my overall dps to unacceptable amount in endgame environment.
The other, less important SL nano lines that needs removal of cyberdeck requirement are roots and calms. Without these nanos this build loses what little utility nts have and makes it pointless to play pistols unless you are in a big pve raid group.
Aside from these, since the agg/deff slider needs to be on full agg for acceptaptable candycance cast time, this build is not good for either pvp or solo pve. Still I like to change the play style from time to time when the circumstances allow and the changes i listed above would greatly increase the number of circumstances where this can be played.
