I'm going for this:

http://goo.gl/8ux2wr

Highlights are:
Lockpicking
Various skills that benefit bagging (increased loot value, sprint, stamina)
Resistance (health increase)
Civilian control (shouts, domination)
Weapon focus is on silenced weapon

The plan is at the beginning of the heist I'll help manage civs and silently lockpick safes, the switch role to bag carrier.

Any feedback?

About as enjoyable as a game like Left 4 Dead without multiplayer. You have to deal with stupid AI teammates.

Then again You have to deal with stupid HUMAN teammates in multiplayer so I guess its the same.

What builds are you guys using?

I'm planning on going significantly into ghost, and then going to snatch up some mastermind perks as well (10 cable-ties anyone?)

I like that build. In fact I might use it too.

I just wish the AI could carry bags. As it is, I have to leapfrog my own 5 bags when pulling the jewelry heist myself. Lame.

I don't think so, but we do have a steam group

Not really, IMO. As hemmingjay said, the AI is useless as anything but a bullet sponge. Playing with friends and coordinating (and panicking) is what makes the game truly fun.

My build is Ghost/Mastermind. Loot value, sprint speed, stamina, bullet dodge, bag carry, civ domination, radio charisma, body carry...

Basically I'm trying to be useful for all things outside of the engineer and the enforcer.

I respecced because of the large number of Ghosts in our group. I am a mastermind with the experience boost loaded up, so if you see me on, add me for extra EXP. We could also use a pure safe cracker and for some reason a lot of people are avoiding the all out soldier builds even though they are super powerful at level 11 or so

I'm going for a rambo build unlocking all the health, shooting and bag running upgrades. The crashes yesterday frustrated me a little but so I haven't made much progress yet but I'm happy to see that they fixed it. I haven't made a complete list of skills I will unlock.

I'm speccing as a drill/explosive-focused technician. Once I get the shaped charges I may put points into enforcer to give me some survivability and the saw.

I'm playing for the next hour to hour and half if anyone wants to invite me in game. Pretty sure I am already steam friends with most of you.

What builds are you guys using?

Keeping in mind that I don't have a full build plan (which means I have not thought much about what I might be losing skill wise due to a lack of planning), I've been mostly taking Ghost skills so far but I did take Enforcer so that I can Transporter. Being able to move faster with a big bag of money (and also to be able to throw them further...I like throwing bags!) on my back just makes good sense. I also take Die Hard so I can use my primary Weapon but mostly so that my Armor recovers faster.

In the Ghost tree I take Dead Presidents and Sprinter. I mean no matter what you are doing you gotta move, right? So why not move faster? Plus having your stamina regenerate faster means you can sprint more. That just makes good sense when you are trying to run off with a buncha stuff that is not yours!  And as an added bonus you get improved  dodge. That seems like a very useful thing to have. :)

After I get all those skills, I'll have to start actually thinking about what I want in my skill tree so I'll be waiting to hear what other people find works for them.
