As a rigger your ability is capped by your drones. It's a shitty existence. I wouldn't mind it so much if I don't have to be the ones opening fucking doors, triggering combat and standing under 4 gun barrels.
Bump difficulty to Hard if you want a slight challenge but IMO Rigger is pretty much just a boring pet class.
You might be inclined to take Quickness and one Ranged Weapon of Choice - but I went past 2-3 mission with just regular drone play and couldn't feel the challenge - I even held up upgrading cause I want to buy Class A at the very least.
I did dip a few points on Conjuring for cheap Haste but it was just Decking/Rigging for the most part. Now I command 2 Drones with Bonus AP each. Ho ho ho.
Things that might've made the game too easy.
Buy Eiger an Assault Rifle early game and watch her clean room when Crammed and Hasted with Full Auto
Give Glory a Taser Pistol once she unlocks her 3rd weapon slot and watch her just crowd control two enemies in one round when Hasted. Her pistol dps is not so great once double-tap is used up, but her Claw is amazingly effective. Best move is to just to claw up people and double tap at point blank.
When using Rifle you can Full Auto for easy dps and kills - but this is limited by ammo, not so if you carry 2 or 3 rifles. Yes, you can replace all Eiger's guns with AR if you wish. Buff her up with Aim, Cram and Haste and watch her full auto twice non-stop per round.
The taser pistol is a joke too (well anything with -AP is a joke.) I never bothered with the grenades but I played the first lodge mission and used the dwarf woman to stun people perpetually while my rifler bodied people. It also made the APEX fight incredibly tedious.
How about a physical adept? Do they have any fun casting or is it just shit like 'buff melee dmg'?
