    You know you can pick up turrets now, and get a refund on the cooldown?

    Granted, Rigger is convenient to be able to cancel skills and instantly have their cooldowns reset and ready again, but it comes at the cost of 4 secondary attributes and a backpack talent. That's a HIGH cost for what I believe is only a minor convenience.

    Compare it to using a high-end build with Memento. I cite Memento as best-in-slot for a number of reasons:

    Survivability: You're getting a little extra armor and regen.
    Damage: Both skill damage and weapon damage are improved.
    Cooldowns: Keep in mind that you're getting both a short and long-term buff to skill efficiency.....which includes cooldown reduction. Not only are your skills getting 30% skill haste at full stacks for 5 minutes, but every time you pick up a trophy you're also getting another 30% skill haste for 10 seconds. And if even a handful of your gear pieces also have skill haste, that's a further reduction.

    So you're giving up A LOT in order to save a handful of seconds. Most of the time in which it won't matter because everything will be either distracted or dead.

    As I say every time: Play however you enjoy the game the most. But don't ignore the numbers/math breakdown either.

    Capacitor
    Harmony
    TDI Kard

    Mods: Skill Haste

    Skills: Assault Drone/Assault Turrent

    Easy Peasy, did it in one run of Summit, and less than 20 minutes in the "Holster" zone for Waveform off the WB...

    Harmony from Named Cache/Global Event, oh, about 8 boxes needed....
    Excellent build. In Raids when holding down 1 area solo, with skill haste, the 1-2 seconds less on the cooldown will save your butt.

    Options include swapping out the Waveform for BTSU or maybe even a Wyvern.

    My solo legendary skill build is basically what you posted. I alternate between a Bellstone mask with a blue and a fenris mask with a red based on the encounter/room. All CHC mods.

    Momento is a beast. 3% armor regen, 30% skill and weapons damage once at full stacks.

    The biggest mistake I see people make is dropping the turret in front of them. They get murdered by NPC’s or drones when they are actually attacking their turret.

    There is different skill builds.
    For turret-drone is only one option: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZN0uXWo4DI
    I use this for Leg content, but instead of skill hast rolls I use armor regen mostly - as it was mentioned already, skill haste has pretty low impact on turret and drone.

    For status effects - there is another option
    Like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj8WGyOmpz4

    For other - different options
    Even something like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvswTMx9mEk

    I looked for most skill damage and haste
    one of my skill builds is:
    2 hana-U - skill haste and skill damage
    1 wyven wear - skill damage
    2 empress skill heath and skill damage
    1 backpack what ever you want with an appropriate talent also an appropriate talent on the chest piece
    3 haste mods at 12 %
    Have all stats on my gear as skill damage and skill haste.
    Works great

    Drone and turret have 10 sec cool down.

    I hope you do understand, that 10% skill efficiency is better than 10% skill damage?

    Most don’t based on the builds I inspect.

    I have zero haste on my legendary solo skill build other than the efficiency from the 3rd empress. All pieces have skill damage and armor regen, and all mods are CHC.

    Mostly capacitor but sometimes Test Subject and Scorpio if I think I’ll need to stagger.

    I mean, you passed 10% skill efficiency from 3rd Empress for 10% skill damage at Hana

    While Skill efficiency means: skill damage, and skill haste and skill health

    I wholeheartedly agree with Licher.Rus in that 3 pieces of Empress is by far the best way to go.

    I have one in the build listed - you could also use the the exotic back pack but it doesn't work well with this build I left that open to decide. Its not a rigger that's a completely different build which i also have. I stand by the build listed. Not many gears sets have efficiency I used what I could.

    There are many different skill builds this one is focused on the drone and turret depending on the specialization running I get 7800 from the drone and 125000 on the turret its like having two extra guns.
