The capstone
Guns Blazing costs 3 points and gives: +20% Ranged Damage; 15% chance not to use ammo. To take it you need Overpenetration at rank 2, Big Guns at rank 3, and 25 points spent in the tree. Plan your path backwards from the capstone: spend your early points on the talents it requires, then fill in the rest.
