Hi there,
Here we have a fun build I have dubbed the Demolitions Expert. It is based around heavy use of the Rumbler using the Shovel as our sidearm. The Blitz ability had to be the Frag Bomb. To save on Ammo economy I chose not to go for Point-Blank Barrage, instead opting for Loyal Protector. This also saves us the points to choose "Batter" on the left side, which is integral to our survivability in combination with "Delight in Destruction". Our journey down the right hand side ends with Big Boom, which boosts our explosion radius' by almost a quarter.The mix of the abilities Loyal Protector, Coward Culling and Soften Them Up, give us huge potential to increase the teams damage against all enemies with a potential +60% damage to all enemies from all sources. This is a huge boost to the teams strength.
Our frontline power is boasted by nodes mainly down the left side of the tree. With Furious, Batter & Heavy Hitter increasing our melee damage, whilst securing the safety of consistent toughness regen through The Best Defence & Smash 'Em along side a potential 75% damage resistance given by Implacable and Delight in Destruction. The role of the Shovel is to give you something consistent against every enemy type once you have had enough of shoving grenades into the hearts of the enemies or worse, you have run out of ammunition. With this Build the Shovel makes short work of Hordes through the us of the Light Attack 1 / Heavy Attack 2 combination. For heavy targets such as Ogryn, Mutants, Maulers and Ragers, you will need to use the Heavy Attack 1 / Special Attack combination. This Strike can kill almost every Elite or Specialist in one or two hits, for example Crushers and Mutants can be felled with two heavy attack 1 strikes to the weakspot. You may wish to consider taking Crunch over Smash 'Em if you wish to boost the heavy attack damage even further by 40%.When using the Rumbler, just don't think. Launch as many grenades into the Heretics as you possibly can! If you have a Veteran on the team, you don't need to worry at all about Ammo economy as long as you stick in Coherency with them. Make sure you spam Monstrosities with them, as they will stick to the target and enable you to stun-lock them for easy take downs. You will want to use Loyal Protector whenever you are faced with a Monstrosity as you can easily take the incoming damage whilst stun-locking them with your Rumbler. Taunting and attacking the boss will enable the team to do an extra 40% damage to them. This ability can also be used to get yourself out of sticky situations, as it suppresses all enemies for a moment in an area around you and can of course be used to save a team-mate from enemies beating them down.
