Professor Charles Xavier rescued young Scott Summers from a life as a homeless young orphan, recruiting him to be the first member of his new team: the X-Men. Xavier trained Summers to use his mutant optic blast, as well as to lead the other X-Men in the field.Marvel Source
Scott has endured great hardships during his years with the X-Men, from an ongoing rivalry with the savage Wolverine to the seeming death of his girlfriend Jean Grey. Through it all, however, he has endured as a shining example of heroism and leadership among mutantkind.
This build is specifically for leveling. I'm sure most of you will be able to pinpoint that Team Leader is the one skill that accommodates this. If you were to take Cyclops to 60, AND stop using him to help your buddies level, then you could remove the points in Team Leader and put them into Piercing Blast/ punch for the passive damage bonus to Ricochet and Optic Blast.
Enjoy.
*8/20- Took the points out of channeled Blast for now to boost the new and improved Uncanny Focus (and because channeled blast is currently broken). Also, I moved some points around in the tactics tree and added one point into Concussive Force for solo situations.
