Talents
Description
build
is primarily focused on maximizing our damage and uptime with plasma gun.
plasma gun
is amazing for sniping specials, murdering armor, and chunking bosses. uncharged shots quickly drop specials, charged shots have high penetration, one hit kill most non-bosses and do significant damage to boss. venting heat damages toughness then health, reload is very slow but clears all heat. we take several reload speed and toughness generation talents to help make both heat reduction methods more effective.
executioners stance
should be used very often for both bonus damage and highlighting, it comes back quickly with tactical awareness.
power sword
is here mostly because I felt like using it, clear hordes with monstrous cleave using special ->heavy til out of power -> push -> repeat. any weapon capable of dealing with hordes will work as an alternative.
shredder grenade
is useful for clearing the trash and softening specials and armor in mixed hordes.
your job
is to stand behind your allies and one or two shot every ranged special and armored target that enters your sightline with plasma gun. throw grenades at hordes and armored targets, you get a free one every minute. use power sword to clear horde. when boss shows up pop ability and apply charged shots to its weak point till dead.
