General build advice - max passive?

I only went up to rank 5 on the Huntress' passives. I can't remember what the options for rank 6 at the moment but the effects only last for 3 seconds either way and it's not worth the 6 points.

It's a bit of a weird one, especially with the number of points we get once characters are maxxed - you end up wasting between 1 and 5 points depending on variations of 6/6/6/6/1 all the way through to 6/5/5/5/5. I don't like points being left over but there it is.

Having said that the passives look pretty solid and may be worth dropping to 5 or 4 in a power.

I'd only drop fitness if not wanting to buff up melee - but tbh I always want to buff up melee (even though it is not the most inspired melee in this game).

This isn't me3mp where if you're a console race your free to skip by the enemy blithely on your general strut to the pizza, and if you're on PC you purposely lock your framerate to do the same thing instead of getting your face shot off at 60 or 120 frames.

Passives are more valuable and more useful to the build as is. The days of auto detonating 6000 point every four second AA 6/6/6/6/0 are over, not because of player inexperience, but because enemies can actually hit you with bullets now, hand-advantage or no.

The meta may shift for edge case characters (salarian hackstotron, duelist, huntress, ghetto avenger) where you can use enough dps for control and some piece of gear may facilitate this, but I would urge you to respec your character with all powers and then put up a video of you soloing gold Kett with a 3point hack objectives. (I am not being sarcastic, pretty sure there's two characters that can do this, but not blithely with minimum effort like before)

Secondly, usually the first passive tree has a team buff or team debuff, so you're not necessarily losing 'team support'.

The fitness passive tree has some straight op upgrades for some of the classes. The saving barrier skill is really strong on those that have barrier, the bioelectric ward on the Angara makes gold feel like silver as well in terms of damage, on the avenger in particular you havve to play pretty careless to die.
Stuff like aerial evasion and hold the line together is really strong too.

Basically the fitness tree is really damn good now on many of the classes.
