What am I doing wrong with Security Bear?

While technically not a build and does use cheesy mechanics i did manage to get to wotan with just 7 skill points and a 15% life steal recursion. 1 FitsD, 1 SV, 5 grizzled, green monster x2 recursion. Elemental ASE on both shield and granade. All the riccochets were enough to both kill everything and keep me healed.

I’m certain it’s possible to make a proper build around 15% life steal annointment though. I’m thinking bloodletter with +3 to DM.

I don’t get why you exit in front of it anyway?
Mech’s, Power Armour, and so on (whatever they’re called in a particular game), aren’t a new concept, but the consistent feature is that you enter / exit from the back.
This makes sense, as the big chunk of metal is supposed to protect you whilst doing this.
(That’s how armoured personnel carriers work after all).
So jumping into danger makes no sense at all, especially when you consider that you’ve jumped in front of auto bears guns (OK, so I know this doesn’t make a difference).
Also, my borderline OCD has to point out that climbing into IB would take even longer, so why is this instant, when it takes an age to leap out?

Yeah it’d make more sense to climb up steps that fold out of the back (or just jump in through the back) but I guess they watched avatar and thought let’s make it like avatar mechs… Like a fighter jet cockpit

I don’t know…

The exit animation is a bit ridiculous though. It’s the part that makes instant exit builds annoying to do.

I’ve counted 10+ seconds waiting for the shield before. Normally I don’t stay in IB that long, so I rarely see it at all.

it’s so weird, i’m pretty much always specced into security bear and i can’t recall this ever happen to me. does it only happen with certain shields maybe?

Umm I don’t think so, it happens all the time to me with different shields but I could check the next time I’m on.

Yeah exactly, I have no idea why it does that. It’s supposed to be 5 seconds if you just test it without enemies around.
