Vitality: What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing?

I see many threads where people say vitality is useless atm since nothing gives max IS. But what about the health regen benefit or the max health benefit or IS regen? I'm a kung fu / karate mix and I have been sticking to focus, belief, and vitality. Should I have gone perception over vitality just for ballistic res?

Everything is about balance and gameplay. Some ppl like to have more in vitality so "desperation" is better when needed, higher health/is regen and more health. Someone with high Vitality is great for boosting health as well. It comes down to what you prefer to have extra points in. Its not useless if you take advantage of where it distributes points. However as a MA, I would say use more points in ballistic defense. THe resistance buffs only work when used with an ability, so think defensively.

Thanks aqua. You are very insightful

Basically if you don't use desperation as a MA, Guns, or spy it's useless unless u want 50 extra points in total HP. I hope they make more use of it, like in CR1.
