Mech skills update question and hunting at lvl 11x

[pleiades 0]

I'm a lvl 109 "spark" mech and I'm getting pretty bored right now.  It was great to gain exp in the lower levels and mobs in iron2 and ice1, but there are no mobs in ice2 (that I can find) and MD1, MD2 and MD3 xp maps show off the problem with spark being a static damage skill.

 

Here is my build and skills:

str 253, spr 130, tal 72, health 234

my equip is basically 104+ MP mixes.

 

skills: PA 10, SPARK 10, MA 10, GS 7 (I don't have any other ideas of where to put my skill points...)

elite skills:  Imp 1, Comp 10, Mag Sphere 10, Metal Golem 4

 

First question:  Is there an update on the status of fixing maximize to work with grand smash? 

2nd question:  what are your thoughts on using MWM?

 

I want to hunt, but killing is so slow now... I'm using an inferno claw with an HP 20 mix, but since GS is so slow, and spark doesn't care what I use, I'm not sure what to do.  Maybe i should just stop with my mech and start on something else...

 

Thoughts?

1st: maximize still useless

2nd: I don't like it. I wouldn't trade massive Metal Armor/Physical Absorption for that

 

Don't lose your time hunting unless you're 120+

Yeah, but Gogg, you have so many spare skill points, you could switch back and forth from tank to warrior with ease... 

 

what's the best place to lvl from 110 to 115?
