I'm pretty new to the game, but this is the build I've been using to try and farm and play the higher diffs.
Plasma Gun
The weapon perks and blessings aren't certain on the Plasma gun, as you don't "really" need any of them even if as if good spacing and tagging management you will cleave most elites easily. However good perks will allow you to get 1 shot breakpoints very easily. Mainly just spam light attack with it, with low-medium heat u can charge up ur shot when coming up against unalerted enemies.
For the Melee weapon totally on what u want to do and how your playstyle is. I have used the build with my god roll blade As well as a okay power sword and other weapons. The knife gives u insane dodge and mobility inside the horde but weak cleave and stagger. The power sword can be very good with Power Cycler allowing you to cleave through a horde quickly. However being overwhelmed can be very common if you aren't good at the charge mechanic and dodging. Shovels and Axes can be a viable strat.
Perks
Pretty standard however my variation I don't see a lot in videos or other peoples set ups.
Which basically involves taking all of the focus target talents as well as exhilarating takedown. The playstyle of the build revolves around spamming ur tagging to see all the elites because, when u tag a target focus target stacks drop to 1. However the first target and the second target no matter which u kill first will provide a stack based on the stacks apllied. With the target down you can very easily keep a party up during a horde by killing tons of targets with just a single stack giving u the toughness regen and stam regen. This pairs nicely with exhilarating takedown as the toughness, toughness defense and stam you gain extra allows you to kill the priority targets without the need to have your melee weapon out to block the lesser enemies attacks.
