Except the build won't work while in High Energy Cell/Gas Cylinder, because of the new mechanics for Ionic Accelerator/PPA, where you need to be in Plasma Cell. Thus my guess that it will hit ammo problems, even with the free Rocket punches/Stockstrikes, since now you will be weaving in more abilities (Pulse cannon is not cheap).

We're all wondering if the DPS boost from the AP/Tactics tree will offset what you lose by not getting 3/3 steely resolve and the delicious upper tier skills in Assault/Pyro. Is that an even trade for gaining Gut and a bonus to Pulse Cannon damage?
