Deng, your post is awesome, but I made some modifications to my style - IP does get a bit tighter for me, but it hasn't caused me to many problems (I'm equipping a QL50 Meibutsu Daito at level 14 with custom QL30 implants, not OE (needed a 27ish wrangle)

I maxed ALL base abilities (except nanopool.. I'll max that soon, it's enough for my level at 180ish total nano).

I've got about 85 NCU available (quite nice at that level) along with a 3 slot belt (I used QL30 Complit implants to get the better ones in, I can almost equip a 4 slot belt!).

I maxed:

All "ability" skills, except Nanopool (that's at roughly 75% max).

Melee Init (105)
Dimach (108)
Brawl (115)
Fast attack (108) <-- that hurt the IP a bit
2 Handed Edge (127 or so, unbuffed)

Maxed by now:
MM/BM/MC/SI/PM and T&S is near max (I gotta get this up for treatment kits)

Treatment is behind by 2 or 3 points.. no big deal to me there - I'll fix that at level 15.

Can insta-kill yellow/orange mobs with a good hit ( )

I've also been soloing in the ToTW since level 8 - with difficulty. It's been a fun ride so far, and I look forward to the rest of it.

Thank you for your input Awpti.

I can see that your'e twinked to a decent level

at your level, twinking won't do anything bad, however, many people often fall into the trap where they spend IP's before an implantchange, where they are left with little IP's to spare, and a bit too much placed in some skills.

example.

"Havregraut", the enforcer, is using premade ql 100 implants. He's in his 80's and is keen on a new mongo. So he maxes PM/BM like a madman. a couple of levels later, he's gotten his hands on OT-rings, changed his implants to 140-150ish, swapped the Int he had in eye and ear with PM and what he sees is that he's spent way too much IP in PM/BM, leaving him not enough skill to raise MM/MC who's allready lowered a bit due to no more int-imps, and his rage/challenger suffers. Havregraut is angry.

the pointer here, is that there is no point in wasting IP's unless you got it covered with your skill after equipmentchange.

This, however has nothing to do with your case, awpti

Great job! however I am new to the game so there is some stuff that for the veterans might be common knowledge but that I have no idead what they are. could you help me?

1- "Fast attack - You need a FoB. Keep it at a decent level"
whats FoB stand for?

2- "I advice Carbonium because it adds NCU and Nanopool, 2 vital things for an enforcer"
where can I get this armor? I dont remember seeing this armor at the shops. can you get it in missions?

3-"If you haven't gotten the Assault tank yet, GO GRAB IT! " where can I get it?

Ok from another post by Hornsbuck:
"This is for a QL90 set of implants, which should be easily implantable for a level 50 enforcer with a full med-suit and outside buffs. An OT Quartz and/or treatment Library may be used to supplement if you don't have a doc around for SFA."

Where can I get a med-suit?

Well, I have a ton of other questions but I will figure them out on my own.

thanks in advance.

[_______________Hypos]

1. FoB = Flurry of Blows
2. Carbonium is made using trade skills. You'll need to either buy it from another player get it from a friend (in which case, you'll need to provide parts).
3. Assault Tank can be obtained as loot in the Foreman's static at 1940 x 775 in The Longest Road.
4. If you're omni, you can get the pieces that make up a med suit from a tailor or clothing shop. If you're not omni, you'll need to ask one to get it for you.

Awesome guide!!! wish it was around when i made my char.
Something i'd like to add for those few who dared to make a Opi enf...

I was able to max ALL of my abilities, cept psy, which i left at 80 and raised only when needed, without sacraficing other skills or damaging IP stores.

I was able to do this by working out a system for raising Speed, cept for MeleeInit, and Nano Skillz, basically all i did was slack on those skills when IP first got tight, then when i got enough to spare i started raising my evades and needed nanoskillz by 5 each turn, no more no less, this kept me in the comfy range of saved IP, about 20k, so i could induldge every once in a while if needed, like for those few extra points towards the next Essence and such.

The only problem i had, ONCE and ONCE only, so far, was having to invest heavily, like all my stores of IP, into evades cause i started getting smashed with crits, which annoyed the doc to no end, after that little incedent i was fine, thanks to title caps.

Remember, this is only a little add on of wisdom to the already supurb guide.

......GO NANAKI!!!! =D sorry had to do it, had a resurgence of FFVII goodness, forgot how much that character kicked a**

[___________Grimsdyke]

I have read on a couple posts here that CAS is a suggested armor for Enforcers. I really can't afford any of that armor. I have a lvl 51 sol and he has about 700k to his name I guess Carb at low lvls would be ok?

[Kissysuzuki]

Carb / Cas / magic bongo whatever are only suggestions for twinking specialists.

I happily levelled and survived through my first 100 levels using plasteel. Variously Red or blue depending on my tastes at the time.

Yes they're not as good as Cas or carb but if thats the difference between you living and diing in a mission or hunting, I'd suggest taking a slightly lower level one!

[Deng]

aye

should you be anything but a high level char's little play-toon, it isn't all that easy to get cash for CAS.

However, you will be able to sell it after use

[___________Grimsdyke]

well really I'm still in my playing around see what I like phase. For all intents and purposes though I like my soldier and put some work into him. Just have a hankering to barsh things with heavy stuff and have some outrageous hps

[Maleene]

sticky for Dengy

^^

[Deng]

thank you

Made a few changes to fit the latest patch.
Added a few words on "Aggro management".

[skybert]

the armor thingy... I didn't have a full set of anything until I was 120-ish, I think. Before then, I only had the random stuff I found as loot when doing team mishies

I think I had one of every color there is out there
(hidden bumpage - when is this going to be sticky?)

[Maleene]

Still not sticky

Up Up Up

[Icedsun]
