Doom with Suicides

I’m trying out Dr. Doom. Most of the guides that I see give a cycle of SP3->MMLLLMM->SP1. Then rinse and repeat.
I find myself using lots of Sp1 which is costly since I run suicides and I’m taking a lot of recoil damage. Is doom not sustainable with suicide masteries? Or is there a different way of playing him with suicides?
Would love to hear from the Doom masters. Thanks for your help!

Don't have a Doom but he does rely on all of his specials to get large damage, so he may not be the best with suicides

Yeah, suicides with doom suck. You COULD just stick to sp3s but that’s not really ideal. Also, why don’t people do MLM MLLLM or MLM LLLMM after sp3 instead of 7 hits?

Definitely don’t want suicides with doom. His utility with power control is what makes him great. That requires cycling through his specials. Suicides will take a lot of his health.

I have a 6* R3 Doom, I run permanent suicides, he’s fine for 3-4 fights. It’s very rare that I need Doom for an entire path, I need him for extreme power gain, or maybe a Korg, and I often take him along with BWCV. I also use him for the Cavalier monthly.

Don’t be afraid of suicides, run max willpower and max coagulate, use the full health bar, that’s what it’s for.
