Stabilis -> RE: 5 Focus Builds Obsolete? (4/23/2012 14:14:27)

Hello, I am back from volunteering duties at a hospital which took up my evenings.
You say that 5 Focus may be obsolete, I think otherwise. My last try with Focus was during the Gamma crusade with robots. Please recall that Focus founds itself on all 4 basic stat types, so Focus does profess some skill in all weapons and skills, even if only by a small amount. The only circumstances in which Focus may be turned away from is in it's mild damage output because everything about the player becomes equalized excluding enhancements. Exploits are less likely as stats are spread. Robot damage is imperative to Focus and Technology, so although robot damage can be exploited, Focus and Technology are less likely to be. Cooldowns should be considered as well.
The other thing about Focus is the lack of allocatable stat points causing a decrease in defensive properties such as having health or defenses. Agility often equalizes the use of health when there is only total stat points - 180 used in total to get 5 Focus (the highest). Focus builds thus often become standardized and easily anticipated, like Strength and health (although Str/health is quite general for damage in and damage out making it a battle of luck and stat advantage).
