How to spend spare EGO points?

[Bornhald]

Branch out to all the different EGO powers, and subsequently max them, it puts you closer to any perks you may want, and go towards a pursuit.

I understand people mentioning the pursuits, but spending them or not I still have them to get the perks/powers sooner or later, just thought people might have opinions in which ones work better with different guns/loadouts.

Try differnt builds with various weapons/perk combos.
I tried explosions with all the explosion perks near overcharge.
I'm working on an overcharge infinity build using rapid reload perks + ego recharge on reload perks with sawed off shotguns.
Next I'm going to look into a shield recharge build, to take advantage of those 1700 point rhino shields that normally take forever to recharge. Although at this point i'm not sure if I'll go sniper or melee.

Quoted from another thread that I just posted in, here's a nice shotty class for PvP or PvE. I can look up the related perks after I get home if you're interested in trying it.

I personally use only Votan/VOT weapons. The Nano Fragger, Auto Fragger, and Grind Fragger are among my favorite shotguns. I used all the FRC, EMC, and whatnot in the beta so I thought i'd give these guys a go. Fell in love instantly. My PvP class currently uses a Nano Fragger with Radiation (the booger bullets ) and a VOT Fragger (two shot burst) with siphon. Power is cloak. He's built to be a tank with perks that reduce damage by half when shield breaks, when shield recharges, when shot in the back, reduces enemy explosive range by 45%, extra damage when shooting while cloaked, and reduced damage over all (cellular armor). Has a 1723capacity shield with 25% health regen/second. If my Nano Fragger can't do the job then the VOT Fragger finishes and helps with crowd control, considering that siphon seems to hit for every other shot consistantly.

I use this class outside of PvP too and rarely have to cloak. You can take so much damage its ridiculous. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't make a shotgun based class, because I just did.

Cloak might be a good choice to go with those, since it is shield recharge on demand.

There are a lot of perks that work for different things and different powers. One build I am working towards is ego power regen/duration. There are two perks for each individual power (+Duration/-Cooldown) and then three perks that give +duration/-cooldown based on dealing damage/killing targets that I would also like to try out.

Killing Spree / Bloodlust / Energy Leech

I know some people use Overcharge reload with LMGs on both weapon slots just to level to gun faster also with the Preparedness for stowed weapon reload.

The run speed perks based on shield empty/shield full are also good perks. Escape Artist and Displacement Field.

People also use the defensive perks such as Regeneration, Fortitude, Cellar Armor, Thick Skinned and probably some others iunno.

Cloakers like Shadowed Strike for the +cloaked dmg

Just try builds with different guns until you find something you like.

Thanks that's pretty detailed, I'll give some of them ago.

Do what you want to do but spend those perk points. It doesn't matter too much because if you don't like how you put those points into said perks you can spend the script and respec those points into another set of perks.

So if you went overcharge and a bunch of perks that might go with overcharge and decided that overcharge wasn't to your liking respec and put it into blur, cloak or decoy. This game doesn't force you into anything but there are some perks that too me will always be in my loadouts.

1. Regeneration
2. Cellular Armor
3. Prepared (however this might be removed if i decide to pvp)

Those two will probably never be removed the third one is for pve only. Haven't decided a pvp loadout and besides eventually you can unlock every perk but thats going to take quite a while.
