Back Armor

[GDB2222]

So, now I've got my new imps in, I need more AAD/evade/dodge items. Anyone who wants to donate a couple of IGOCs, there's no need to travel - I'll come to you. Apart from those, are there some mega items I have missed? Using omni steel-ribbed armor by the way.

...are there some mega items I have missed?....

Bit hard to tell without a config. Can you post one?

[GDB2222]

Bit of a learning curve there, but the config is here:

And yes I know I need to get at least one BBB on.

I'd start off with 6 slot belt

I know fixers don't need much ncu but you can stick other fancy stuff like -cost, range increaser & compiler in

[Randomchance]

Personally I would make a few changes to your setup.

Grab a 6 slot belt and put in some nice toys like a recompiler, cost, and if you like casting at range a range increaser.
Work on your token board. At your level you can do the pvp quest which should give you an easy 27 tokens every 12 hrs. Combined with the daily missions you should have your improved 1k board in no time at all.
Not sure you need the nuc basc ring. Fixers dont really have that many self buffs, and you have ncu buffs to take up the slack for any OSB's you might get.
The notum ring can be replaced with an IS ring for a little more stats.
The durable boosts I would replace with Sandy Piece of Goo's.
The withered flesh I would replace with Enhanced Pads of Dedication mainly for the increased hp/nano/ac.
I didnt look at your imps much. The look ok with +AAD.
If you can find something for Hud1/Utils1/Utils3 it would be nice. A baby range increaser/light bar/floating torch/tradeskill lib or anything that does a little bit of something.
And of course throw in at least one BBB, which you already knew. Should just about fall on and give you a faster burst recycle.

[GDB2222]

Thanks for that. I now have a BBB and ql 103. I can get a second BBB once I have a bit more ip for MR, but I'll wait for the next patch (composite -> MR). Any handy utils items that I've forgotten about for AAD or evades?

[Mikro]

Can't think of any evades ones but you might want to get SMG ebony figure for utils. Should be fairly cheap as they are one of more common ones. In hud 1 I'd stick movement predictor for some extra range

[frubs]

Yatamutchy Movement Predictor is actually quite nice for a fixer's HUD1, as you'll be kiting quite a bit.

I just discovered the lower burst cycle on higher ql blackbirds, solved a mystery for me ^_^

[GDB2222]

Yes, lower burst cycle is really nice. I'm not sure exactly, but around 12 seconds recharge.

Whats with "Dragonskin Legs Armor" and "Shapeshifter's Vest" for more evades?

Ignoring the price point, D-Legs don't provide inits, and evading depends also on inits (the more you have the more you can go into a defensive setting, which results in evading more hits, too). All in all these two are about equal I would say; personally I wouldn't bother with D-Legs in this case (besides, it requires some "off" skill). Shapeshifter's? Yes, it has higher evades (and inits), but it's a delusion to think it will benefit you more than somewhat less evades (, inits) and ACs (especially a whole 1k). Yes, you will evade more hits, but what will the difference be to Omni Steel-ribbed? 1 more hit evaded in 100? 2 more? This 1k AC will provide less strain on your HP than these additional evades ever will.

Thanks for all the help so far!

My thoughts:

Get a movement predictor in HUD1. the extra range is quite handy.

I would swap out the shoulders - if you can get into a decent IS team, get your hands on the IS damage shoulder, and drop Withered Flesh for the Enhanced Pads of Dedication.

Get a QL 200 Hardcore CPU Upgrade for your belt slot 5. -15% nano cost is HUGE when casting your short HoTs.

I would be severely tempted to change your right wrist implant to ranged init/burst/fling, rather than runspeed/burst/fling. You've got more than enough RS from IP and GSF, but if you aren't 1/1 at full def yet, then you can always use more ranged init.

EDIT: Just a note on this - BBBs are 1/1, so you need 1050 ranged init to go full def without any speed loss. I got there around level 180, 185ish, and I was using a ranged init cluster in my right wrist.

Couple of thoughts on implants...I suggest Jobe Add Radiation Damage clusters in Right Wrist (instead of Fling), in Right Hand (currently empty), and perhaps in Left Wrist (in lieu of Run Speed). Also if you need TS in the Right Hand, obviously keep it--if not, swap in MG/SMG. (Suggested Implants: RW || RH || LW)

Also, perhaps 1 VTE instead of the Withered Flesh (or Corrupted Flesh from IS)

[GDB2222]

Bit of work to do here then - I'll be back. I have no clue at all how the TS cluster crept in on the right hand imp.
