Overview

Buffs. Lay back.

Combat Skills

Core

Support 3 - Increased buff strength by 30%

Lingering Kindness 3 - Increased buff duration.

Healing 3 - Increases healing done, forms a synergy combo with the above 2 to make heals place a hpbuffer on allies that absorbs damage.

• • Profession Skill Intimidation gives a toggle that massively reduces your threat, Avoid Notice

Important

Readiness - Increases the amount of gear you can carry, important for that extra bit of equipment.

Speed - Faster charge. Allows you to drop an emergency heal, and many buffs have long charge times.

Endurance - Bigger maximum energy bar and regen means you'll rarely run out.

Back Row - It's paramount that you stay alive.

Situational

Fast Loading - Reduces cooldown on crucial abilities. Shouldn't be needed with Lingering Kindness

Health - Luxury survival stat.

Avoidance - Take less damage! It's a lot easier for a buffer to get defense than a high level of resist, so Avoidance is better than Durability.

Mutant Powers

Core

WORK IN PROGRESS Muscle Mass - Damage.

Tooth and Nail/Juggernaut - More damage. Tough decision between the two.

Plated Hide/Furry Hide - Defense and haste? YES PLEASE! Alternatively, the energybreak on furry hide!

Drain Vitae - Emergency panic button that grants heavy lifesteal.

Fiery Hide/Endocrine Overdrive - Dps boosts. Both are lovely, though the latter comes with minor penalties.

Quill Wag - Passive damage toggle.

Sharpshooter or Takedown - Bread and butter skills. High damage on a short-ish cooldown.

Wild Swing - For your AoE needs.

Notable

Feline Agility/Skitter - These toggles can be upgraded to increase your defense greatly or increase a combat stat.

Frenzy - Large damage increase

System Fault - Very powerful damage with large defensive buffs, but at a very high health cost.

Careful Aim - Increases your accuracy greatly. High energy cost and high charge though.

Sharp Bite - Interesting power that doesn't quite fit as a DoT or a big hit. If you feel like Hybridizing...and it's very in flavor for many characters.

Sharpening - Mediocre damage, but gives you a large boost to any further attacks in the form of a large buff.

General Playstyle

Dedications

Optimum

Kaiju - High health, and defensive passive. Has a very powerful AoE big hit.

Weapon Master - Good DPS toggle. Access to Bow of Mercy, light and powerful weapon with team support, that deals very, very high damage.

Talakai - Overdrive

Pack Leader - Pets can help alleve some of the weaknesses that big damage users have, such as poor energy management, or long charge times, with the many buffs that the pets bring. Make sure to take Mastermind though, if you plan on using Pack Leader.

Lunar Touched - A myriad of high dps options.

Namidian - Single hardest hitting power in game. And a massive burst heal. Also, combat pet!

Tanuki - Big AoE attack, and team support aura.

Great

Nekomata - Gives you some strange jack-of-all-trades options, and helps with energy problems.

Fenrir Wolf - Strong survivability, and a vampiric (though repeat) attack that grants energy.

Gear

Core

You won't actually be able to fit all this in, so pick and choose. They're just reccomendations. But taking these items, you can't really go too wrong.

Earrings - Reduced energy usage is crucial if you took speed.

Flexible/Insulating/Leeching Modules - Most efficient survivability increasers

Cool/Amplifying Modules - Large stat boosts that help on all fronts, very space efficient

Crippling/Fast/Quick/Targeting Modules - Damage increasers

Bow of Mercy - Stats speak for themselves, Weapon Master required.

Extravagant Implement/Unshielded Prototype - In case you feel mutant powers don't suffice, or you're all natural.

Void Totem - Cheap recharge!

Training - Strength - Cheap damagebuff

Steroid Injecting Unit - More damagebuff at energy cost.

Blood Extractor - Lifesteal on demand.

Muscular Enhancers - Max health and damagebuff.

Situational

Lifegiving ArmorPhysical Armor/Light Energy Armor - Lightweight protection to increase survivability.
