Description

Divider

I think the weapon blessings shown are ideal for this build.  However, the weapon perks are less clear-cut:

  • Devil's Claw: +25% Maniacs is an obvious choice for one perk.  For the other perk, +25% Flak, +5% crit chance, or +10% crit damage are all arguably good picks.  +10% Elites is probably not what I would pick, but due to the locks, it's what I've got and it seems to work okay for now so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • Revolver: I always select +10% Reload Speed for one perk; to me the revolver's reloading just feels too slow and clunky without it.  +25% Carapace is locked for me, and I think if I could change it I probably would select +25% Flak instead, but Carapace is still good just because with this build you'll end up shooting crushers a fair bit.  +25% Maniacs is another decent choice.

 

This build was inspired by tirkul's "Parryking Duelist" build: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a6adcab-8326-477c-ab83-588e7215e0ca/zealot-parryking-duelist.  The two builds play pretty similarly overall and most of the recommendations tirkul makes apply to this build as well.  The main differences are:

  1. The "Taylor" build uses stun grenades instead of throwing knife, relying on revolver for sniping.  So Taylor will be better for emergency rezzes, but Parryking will be better at massed armored spawns.
  2. Taylor uses Thy Wrath Be Swift instead of extra toughness damage reduction and regen, so Taylor will be squishier but more mobile -- it will be better at dealing with gunner spam, but worse at dealing with massed melee.
