    Bare Minimum Skill power/electronics

    Obvious when building a character its a fine balancing act between DPS, Health, Damage mitigation etc...

    But what is the absolute minimum, if any, for skill power when it comes to a build other than an electronics build?

    Based on advice i have had, i have managed to rejig my current build to a point where i have 241k dps, 61k health and 65% damage mitigation with 4 pieces of striker gear. However my skill power is a lowly 6719 and wondered just how much that will impact on healing etc...?

    I know a lot of people suggest sentry gear is better, however beyond the two crafted pieces, i have not had any sentry gear drop

    I was able to get 1100electronics with 22k skill power without rolling any electronics dedicated gear. on my holster I got 3 stat rolls fire/stam/electronics then on mask and backpack for their major attributes I rolled skill power to get an additional 11k skillpower.

    firearms 3200
    stamina 2500
    electronics 1100
    armor-65%
    4piece sentry

    I have similar stats but with 45K skillpower, go figure. DPS builds are so lame and boring. U get more power with a tech build.

    Edit:

    DPS / 132 000 (with my pulse, which I can spam when ever I want, let's at least double or triple that).
    Health 73 000 (going up as I still have two gear pieces on level 31)
    Electronics 45 100
    65% Danage mitigation + 10% more from broken chestpiece talent
    Also almost completely immune to all status effects.

    Main things to get decent Skill Power;

    All mods with +Skill Power as attribute, nothing comes remotely close to the amount of damage this increases.

    Backpack and Mask with +Skill Power, same as above, not a single other attribute in the same slot comes close to the amount of damage increase you get from Skill Power. 2-set Tectician Backpack combined with something else is really good and makes up for losing the 13% Skill Power on full health skill HE backpacks have.

    I'm on 182k DPS, 63k health, 44k Skill Power, with a maxed out Smart Cover and Pulse you can basically triple the DPS, since my abilities also have a longer duration than CD.

    So to answer your question, I'd say 20k is the bare minimum. easily reached with just Skill Power on backpack, mask and mods.

    I maybe didn't make myself clear, i am not looking to build an electronics/skill build, i am just trying to determine if my current skill power level is too low for a firearms/dps build whilst maintaining decent health and damage mitigation.

    Using a firearms build, I use overdose and scrambler pulse in the DZ. I like to ensure that running in and out of my heal twice gives me a full overheal. That puts my skill power at 10,070. I could probably do less, but the difference would be a three skilled holster vs gear mods, and I need the gear mods for armor. If my skill power is anything less, I'm running in and out of the circle too often.

    I've got 278k dps, 89k health, 6.5k Skillpower, 65% armor and it works just fine. (Using the Sentrys set).
    My overdose heals for around 12k, which is low. But since you can walk inside/outside of it to get the heal a few times it's still working fine, +you still got your medkits. So no problems with keeping myself alive at all.

    Well, in the end no one cares about electronics that much. since you'll have a supporter who's build on mostly electronics for challange incursions anyways. If you don't have one, take one with you, and enjoy the easy runs. Even on gs180 you can do the challange incursion pretty easy that way. If your other 3 ppl got enough dps that is.

    For PvP it might be kinda usefull, but compared to the damage you're dealing in PvP the ~40k you might heal yourself with are erased again in like 1.5 seconds.
