    Prioritising skill power

    I was watching a youtube video, and it was suggested that the best way of getting dps really high is to raise skill power up to approx 40,000, then use pulse and/or smart cover to increase weapon damage.

    I was told the pulse would be much stronger than any weapon talent bonuses lost by lowering the firearms stat.

    Having played with this build a bit, it works fairly well, but I keep playing with other players using pulse. Is this making my pulse useless?

    Also, is what I was told true, or should I preserve my weapon talents?

    no your pulse is not useless i think it uses the strongest one but i could be wrong, with your build i would stack stamina till about 90k hp then the rest in firearms and with your 40k skill power you will be a beast in PvE

    Unfortunately, I saw the video too late, and my stats aren't that high or well allocated. There's no way, with my sentry gear set, that I will get to 40k skill power and 90k health. Not without a huge upgrade to my mostly 214 gear.

    I have a tactician that's close to 40k skill, but doesn't need to be because I have the 4x tactician bonus, which builds quickly in firefights. I can push some stats into health, but again won't get near 90k.

    I'm not interested in PvP anyway, so mostly trying to gear up for incursions.
