Hey all. I haven't really used traps or dual pistols yet, so I was looking to combine these two sets. I started to build toward ranged defense, but then I went crazy and soft-capped all three positions. I didn't really realize that traps could do this. But what I'm really looking for is what I've neglected to get there. To me the only glaring omission is a couple slots in seeker drones, but the slots just don't seem to be there. Also the cost/availability of some sets may cause problems, but this is an end-end-game dream build anyway. Any feedback/ advice on these sets is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. The Siphon Insight set helped, and I swapped it for a few slots from shield breaker and elsewhere.

I realized I didn't take a patron armor, but with GR coming up before too long, I may just wait to create this toon and have it be my praetorian. (So I might go for a hero corruptor, with whatever ancillary pool they end up giving them, in exchange for fighting pool.)

I have mine planned for typed defense, since Scorpion Shield gives you 20% (slotted) to S/L/E, which should cover most of the attacks that will be coming at you.
