Does anyone even use finesse/whizkid/intuition

<< < (2/4) > >>

ParaSait:
Well, I think Whizkid is an important ingredient for a FUUUN game. =)

Generic:
My fun is blasting everything with a double shotgun. Whizkid is not blasting everything with a double shotgun. Therefore whizkid is not fun. D:

I would use opt for SoB x3 before Fin x2 on AoMr runs, but that's just me. Doing +3*2 damage is a little nicer than firing faster (in my humble opinion). You waste less ammo and kill the monster faster, without taking time to reload between clips.

Not to say I wouldn't use Fin in an Ao100 game where I can get that many traits. It's just not that high on my to-do list.

Gargulec:
Well, that's interesting cassus. SoaB gives ability to deal more damage, and Fin(2) to fire faster, thus deal more damage. Well, with SoaG (3), DG and SoaB (3) you fire at 60% normal time, that's 0.6s. In 3 s period you're able to fire 5 times, and with Fin (2), you fire even faster, something like 0.4s, so in this same period you would be able to shoot 7.5 times. Assuming, that you hit with all bullets, in first case you would deal 5x(2d4+6), so on average you would deal 55 damage. In latter case, you would deal 7x(2d4+3), average- 49 dmg.

Well, SoaB seems to be better:P

Agreed.  Hell, everything that whizkid can do with one mod can be done to greater effect with a level in something else except for magazine mods.  Sure, whizkid is more versatile in theory, but then you're left using whatever mods you actually do find (nothing but reload & magazine mods for me).  Having to take Finesse 2 for it also doesn't help matters.
