Worthless AUGS to avoid guide
(Wasting praxis points? Shame on you!)
1. Social Enhancer (If you save before "Talk" events, you have no need for this.)
2. Noise Feedback (You should be crouch walking which is completely silent. Running is not a great idea in stealth situations period.)
3. Cones of Vision (Simple scouting is all you need to learn enemy patterns.)
4. Last Known Location (The most worthless aug in the game. The huge group of enemies yelling "Where is he" should be a sufficient indicator of where they are looking for you.)
5. Mark and Track (Enemies follow a set patrol. Again simple scouting will save you a Praxis point.)
6. Camera Domination (Cameras are very simple to avoid and most places have a master terminal where you can turn them off anyway.)
7. Turret Domination (Why waste a point on something that is only usefull two maybe three times in the entire game?)
8 Robot Domination (Robots are even rarer then turrets! Complete waste of a point)
9. Recoil Compensation (Surely you can shoot straight without this...)
10. Aim Stabilizer (Running and gunning will get you killed in any area with 3 or more guards. Use cover!)
11. Cooldown Timer (The 2nd most worthless aug. Just wait it out.)
12. Detection Feedback (The 3rd most worthless aug. Use worm software to bypass or back out before the alarm is set.)
13. Analyse Data Stores (The 4th most worthless aug. Your going to want the items regardless. It's always going to be money, hacking items etc. You want whatever it is!)
14. Implated Rebreather (Enemies rarely use gas grenades and paths where this is usefull are extremely rare)
15. Run Silently (You will either be crouched and silent anyway or invisible. Pretty worthless)
16. Sprint Silently (Again...don't buy this. Crouch and use cover)
17. Jump/Land Silently (When are you going to be jumping around enemies in stealth? NEVER!.)
18. The Typhoon (While extremely cool this aug is equally impractical. Usually if you are surrounded at close range you did something terribly wrong and will be dead almost instantly. You can't afford to be surrounded period and that's the only situation when this aug is usefull.
After eliminating all these worthless P.O.S augs. Stealth/Combat builds should be pretty obvious. It's always good to mix and match as well and hopefully now you can afford to.
