Forum:Your last 5 perks?

This is my first ever topic, and I've only been around here for a few days, so, yeah, apologies if this is incredibly bad.

Basically just wondering how you're going to spend your last 5 perks between level 40 and 50? Obviously I'm guessing it partially comes down to what perks are added with each DLC, but still, it's fun to plan ahead.

My current character has: Action Boy (2), Better Criticals, Bloody Mess, Commando, Comprehension, Concentrated Fire, Educated, Explorer, Finesse, Grim Reaper's Sprint, Jury Rigging, Laser Commander, Light Touch, Math Wrath, Meltdown, Nerves of Steel, Plasma Spaz, Sniper, Vigilant Recycler.

So it's all incredibly one sided towards Energy Weapons really, I might switch over to Unarmed and pick up Slayer, Piercing Strike, Ninja, Paralysing Palm and Super Slam, would those 5 perks make using something like the Ballistic Fist or Pushy viable, or would it be a waste considering I don't have things like Toughness? Might be better just sticking with V.A.T.s and Energy Weapons I guess.

Anywho, what about you guys? Tommson 11:30, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

To be honest unless you're using difficulty mods I have found the ballistic fist to be incredibly potent even without those perks. Piercing Strike and Ninja are good but it already punches through armor and doesn't have a very high crit rate and with the broken status of ninja (basically adding 1.25% crit chance or something) means that you won't notice much of a difference between a ballistic fist with these or without these perks. Slayer is a definite option though and paralyzing palm. (did you pick up Eliijahs ramblings instead of giving it to Veronica?) Anyways I have a EW user with a major in lobotomizing heads with plasma and laser fire and giving people black eyes.

Here's my EW user most combat perks boost the performance of Energy and Unarmed weapons Light Touch, Comprehension, Rad Child, Home on the Range, Finesse, Pack Rat, Math Wrath, Better Criticals, Silent Running, Grim Reapers Sprint, The Professional, Slayer, Laser Commander, Meltdown

I'm not even level 30 and my character is pretty much set in perks so I"m really hoping there are some good one in OWB. Cpanda 16:05, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Heavyweight, Grim Reaper's Sprint, and 3 OWB perks

"I'm not even level 30 and my character is pretty much set in perks", same here. It's sort of a moving target. Without knowing what Old World Blues or Lonesome Road has to offer my next 5 would be Toughness or Strength perks to overcome my characters 4 Strength. On my first playthough I made a build to excell with the Brush gun but the latest patch lowered it's stats. This playthrough I built for Chance's Knife and concentrated on getting challenge perks and taking Light Touch for Level 2. I wish there was a perk that would allow me to drop a perk and choose a new one in it's place. Squalor 19:29, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
