I was thinking of just throwing it all into Psi Use.

my tank can hax ops... with a spy 3 and a lot of drugs for imps...

j/k

for practicle usage but it all into psu; that run cast tl 3 is ubar.

u can also try a spot of imp or even res if ur up for it... ressing tl 76 (or 78) is easily managable on a tank's int.

So i guess its all into psi use then :p

I'd put 50 into Hack so you can hack WB's for melee rares and the rest into PSU.

Melee tank? All in PSU, baby.

Watch PPUs cower in fear at your crazy cast speeds!

My melee tank on venus pokes to tl 78ish ( self pokes baby) and repairs too. It's amazingly hilarious to be your own tradeskill person, especially when you are... A TANK.

I was under the impression that WEP enhanced dmg no matter which non-spell weapon you were using ^^

If your playing on a one character server I would say definitely go for barter. The extra money adds up for everything you sell - ie selling adv imps from cyclops for 2-3k instead of barely 1k.

And you think a melee tank needs help capping his rares?

Barter - first choice of the meleeist...

Implant - second choice.

Hack - Third choice.

Only problem with barter on a melee tank is the zerk imps (which are the only other brain imps that raise STR)

Herc, Moveon, Beserk 3, Beserk 2, Backbone 3. = 22 str me thinks.

Reason why my melee tank will have backbone 3 though is for the transport, only 3 points were put into it (which when melee combat gets into the 100's, will give me an even 5 points to use per level.

You can use spy buff 1 to get poking to tl 81 which is enough for your Marine. I doubt you will need any higher unless you have a herc.

I would go with poking but PSU is also very handy.



I think your sig is 2 lines too long Zana. :D

put all your int into remote control and some dex into willpower and be a Kami drone melee tank
