technical ability or cool for blade build ?

[BigEffinZed]

obviously reflex and body is max but can't decide on the 3rd skill to max. I'm using katana and in the enemy's face all the time. do I need the extra cyberware in technical or should I go for cool ? throwing blade is pretty fun

Armor is tied to cyberware which is improved by the Technical Ability tree. So unless you want to be the squishiest melee build ever, you'll need to get to at least 9 TA, though 15 would be better.

If you need no INT you can go 20 20 20 18 so I put 18 in cool, 20 body reflex and tech. Unless you really want the capstone perk from cool I didn't feel it was worth it

I went tech because I use the mantis blades/gorilla arms, and cyberware has armor now. The crit damage is good from Cool but most of the perks are useless for my playstyle, so it's just my dump stat at this point.
