    See title. Fixer mk1, 2 and 3 have only 1 blue slot. I've been running bandage, but am doubting about swapping to shield once I hit mk3. Shield would absorb more burst dmg but the bandage can be more effective HP if it manages to heal a lot over time. Thoughts?

    Shield. I used to run bandage when I first started as a fixer as well, but I've found shield to be better.

    Turbo is what you want!
    After that Id strongly suggest a shield when you get the 2nd blue slot

    Woah!??? Really? Turbo before shield? That's questionable in my opinion. I'd say shield and then turbo when you get 2nd slot. I've never tried it yet. Maybe I should try it before I knock it. I"m only captain level 16 though at 1249. Still inexperienced

    I've just found with overboost... there are very few times I've wished for more speed... but there's always hunger for more HP

    I'm around the same level as you!
    Heres the thing
    200 extra hit points is great until you get hit with 1 strong cannon shot
    Being able to get out heal your self and get back faster is what's important I feel as a fixer!
    Since you shouldn't have to tank much.

    1 extra hit on me is 1 less that my fellow teammates have to take. Pros and cons to both sides of this coin I think. However, I've tried out turbo and I'm now at my highest infamy of over 1300 now... so not sure if I can attribute this to turbo, but I'm not going to jinx my luck now. :)

    I'd also go with turbo and then shield once you get another blue slot. Bandage is pretty useless for a fixer as you have heeling items anyway :) Speed is important both for keeping yourself and your teammates alive.

    Turbo all the way. Helps you heal and flee opportunistically. Feel the speed!!!!!! A healer don't need no freakin bandages.

    Definitely turbo, helps gets around to your team mates faster and aid with escape. Bandages is just as selfish as fixers with duct tapes (these guys suck so much)
