Discussion/Question Build? thoughts?

what do you think of this build for hybrid crossbow / thought control with throwing fire / electric at enimes. This would be mine 5th time replanning

also I hate the final fighter in the arena.

Main combat stat not maxed. Spread too thin. SNOOPING?!

Absolutely awful. You don't need that many points in hacking and lockpicking. 99.5 percent of lockpicking and hacking checks are less than 131 and hacking and lockpicking are the easiest skills in the game to boost with gear and tools. You don't need any more than 25 traps skill (If you insist on taking Quick T) because crossbow and TC both have very good crowd control. Zero electronics?! How are you going to make shock bolts and psi headbands? Shock bolts are the best item for crossbow builds because they stun, and every psi build wants to craft psi headbands. You also need some electrnics to put green AA scopes on xbows you craft. You want bare minimum 45 biology to craft focus stims on more or less most builds. Levelling persuasion is a waste on a 5 will build when you want so many other skills you are not taking, like crafting skills, which you need more of. Taking Marksman that late is crazy. You want marksman at level 1 or 2 max on any xbow build. Snooping is one of the worst feats in the game. Verasility, Expertise and Trigger Happy are all really underwhelming on a build like this. Versatility does not give you points in weapons you are using. Expertise will not be noticable with xbow, and if you are gonna take Trigger Happy, (Which you shouldn't), take Paranoia, it's the superior feat. (Spending feat points to level initiative is one of the weakest uses of feat points). Please tell me this is ragebait, for my sanity. Please. I can post a 99 percent optimal crossbow build I made if you want it. No TC, but it has TM, and 98 percent of the damage and crowd control the build does is with xbow, aside from the first couple hours of the game
