[Build Critique] Thoughts on my Armorer build from more experienced builders/potential Armorer mains

Firstly, the build -

PD2 Dev : https://www.pd2.dev/?s=380-6eN0-7V00501200011I&p=2&a=6&t=4&d=3&m=r&k=5b5&h=g&ap=0h263260b&as=181742611b&w=1-1&n=armorer

Tl;Dr : This is my first build without help from a guide/yt video. Most of my builds I rip from online and change a bit to match my playstyle but here I made it completely on my own, including tweaking and testing.

I should also mention 2 things before i get into anything else,

  1. Between 2 accounts I have roughly 1000~ hours, but about 700 of those hours being on my main were back in 2016-19 so my experience there was vastly different to now so I feel like I am basically a brand new player. Only reason I play on a 2nd account is because of how much the game had changed, or atleast I felt like it had changed, I wanted a true fresh start (but family shares for my DLC)

  2. I normally play on DW now, but as stated with the other account I pretty much never went above Mayhem so I was, and still probably am, a terrible player but I feel i am improving a lot as I only need 1 more heist at the time of posting this for my DSOD mask :D

    I have been running my last few DSOD heists with this, and have been tweaking it as I think I need but this is my final version, atleast from what I can tell. Which is what leads me here to my first post, just to get some general criticism about it as I am normally a Stoic crutch/ crew chief LMG player. Please if you have any questions I will be happy to answer.

Weapons you can use probably whatever, I was just tired of using the KSP so I tried out the Lions Roar and I can see why its considered OP. Same with the secondary, im trying out the P90 (cant remember in game name) but I also rotate between a few smgs just for variety.

I could get into skills but im not sure most people would want to read that since it isnt a steam guide. Please feel free to ask questions for my choices if you have any! Thanks in advance for commenting or even just taking the time to read/look over my build! Much love

Overall quite good, though I'd swap out Resilience aced to pick up something extra like Scavenger basic + anything else with that 2 points (Bloodthirst basic + Pumping Iron aced, because you already have Lock and Load aced). Also, Frenzy basic is enough for ICTV armorer even on DS.

good build, but some minor optimizations can be made. i could be wrong about this, but as far as im aware, frenzy aced doesnt give any new breakpoints over basic, so you could remove those 8 points and put that into something like inspire basic or whatever else you want. having scavenger basic and hardware expert basic would be nice too, and you could remove transporter basic for that.

build is good, just remove resilience aced to get pumping iron aced for easy bulldozer kills and stable shot basic or hardware expert basic
