New AvCom patch is in

[Hovis]

They nerfed rapid reload apparently, so I don't know what to expect.

With respecs now costing 2000 and the new AvCom test missions you can easily give it a try.

For the moment:
Full Black Powder Line.
Control Line to get +50 Init skill
Rest in Offence.

I saw the stats for the Kah Balmwhatever's tooth (1st Forta Boss).
That is a must have item, +in offence, +in sword damage, +in pistol damage.

I will respec with the Doc, Ave and Swiss later on and try, that is once I have dropped into Vera Cruz.

Powder is overrated, they nerfed the rapid shot.

I would not say nerfed, they corrected it, it was much too powerful before.
Ah well, going to have to find a new build again.
