I hope the info does help you find out what best fits with your views.

In right wrist I actually think Support is better than Infantry, Nano delta and max ncu is really useful.

Rest I think I can agree with, good comparission with all.

Engelen

Good Work!

I would definetly say that if you use weapons as a Martial Artists, the Infantry Right Wrist is the one to go for. 1 Hand Blunt, Multi Melee, Fire/Melee Damage, absolutely good stuff for a Dual wielder of Parry Sticks. If you use fists only, the Support would be better, I agree with that.

Again, thanks for a great list, makes it even easier finding the symbiants I want.

Yeah, it depend on playstyle and what weapons you use ofcourse, but at higher lvl you do so much less damage with another weapon so you porbably only want to use fists.

Excellent work Vio! I never looked at symbiants much until very recently and this post will help me a lot.

DaveDread

Great list!

Personally I'd go for an ordinary implant in the left hand slot tho, I am fond of having high MA skill (working on getting MA added to left hand symbs, but it's not there right now) and the bonuses aren't really all that good.

Kellall

Great work Violax this rely helps

Sunlovah

nice job

Nemonic

I am nowhere near using them at the QLs that you are, but this is very helpful I would think for any 100+ MA.

Great job and thanks!!!

Fatedancer

Nice comparison -

BUMP.

Hamini

i think you should make a point that none of the left hands buff MA skill, so they are both pretty useless compared with a left hand implant.

For fists only users, I'd recommend this (given that you get a decent QL

:

Infantry:
Feet, Right Hand, Thigh, Waist, Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Wrist.

Support:
Right Wrist, Ocular, Ear, Brain.

Normal:
Left Hand ('coz of lack of MA skill modifier).

Only (fists user) subject to real discussion:
Chest (I mean, sure, Dimach, Strength, PoisonAC and BodyDev are all nice skills, but not really all that essential except for BodyDev and maybe Strength. The Support version has Nanoinit, Nanopool, MaxNano and even a bit of psychic which buffs MA skill a bit- all these things are very useful).

______Ripple of Soul

infantry chest is still better than support

1. nanopool is NOT that essential, especially if you max firstaid. This is especially true in SL, where firstaid nano and health kits are about twice as effective as their counterparts in rubi-ka.

2. nanoinit is NOT that essential either, we can instea cast our heals with about 650 in nanoinit, any more than that isnt really that useful. Unless you are pvping against a doc, in that case your nanoinit will be debuffed so much into negative realm that the points you get from support chest is going to be negelectable anyway.

I rather have 300 more max health from bodydev than 300 more nano

Forgottenone

sticky this list

Supahglued!

Well, The best config for someone will never to be fully symbianted. You loose to much configureability. I think its safe to say that everyone will at least have a few normal implants combined with Symbiants.

I just redid my docs normal implants the other day ( nano regen clusters and my shot gun ) so I have to leave at least 4 regular implants on ( mind you he got hisa ql230+'s on, but still )

Herowyn

glad to know i came to the same conclusions as you violax.

btw... paying 100m for QL 220+ persising infantry leg, feet, or chest.

Could anyone post information on where to find these Symbiants throughout SL?

I've only ever dropped one symbiant, and it wasn't for MAs
