CLICK-CLICK BOOM-BOOM.

 

A Purely for-fun build which I discovered is capable of smashing its way through Damnation, (Untested on Auric)

Some pointers, for starting out:

 

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE THIS BUILD:

 

As is commonplace with Zealot builds these days, Speed is your friend and closest ally. You absolutely blitz from corner to corner, dispensing molten-hot fury into any unlucky bastard who's on the business end of your twin-barreled death machine. Sliding into Specials, Dashing from corner to corner, and using your ability as a massive stagger-storm or offensive tool. Your Eviscerator lets you absolutely mulch hordes, crushers, and bosses- and your Shotgun is capable of reliably nuking anything that isn't a Crusher. Constantly dodge, slide, and dash. Constantly unleash both barrels of hell into anything stupid enough to be existing in the same zip code as you, and use your grenades to create giant fields of death to dance around in.

 

BUILD WEAKNESSES:

No stealth means that your escapes are reliant on good footwork and carving a path through the enemy to reach your friends. Your boss damage is incredibly high with the Eviscerator, and thanks to its blessings it can become a very powerful anti-horde clear tool as well. The Shotgun specializes in ripping apart most elites, but its obnoxiously high penetration means you can easily wipe a horde of baddies trying to squeeze through tight corridors, and can kill multiple targets at once almost on accident.

 

TIPS, TRICKS, & OTHER INFO:

 

  1. "Ecclesiarch's Call" and "Holy Cause" (the Chorus talents) are interchangeable depending on whatever you prefer/need. I prefer the damage, so...
  2. Your Shotgun should have 70-80% mobility score, leaning hopefully in the 75%. Your movement speed and sprint efficiency with the "Hacker" are incredibly high, so you are capable of zooming across the map dispensing death with two barrels.
  3. The Heavy Eviscerator can sacrifice mobility for other stats, thanks to your Shotgun being your mobility tool. You want all of your other stats to be as high as they can possibly go.
  4. Having Wrath on the Eviscerator pretty much guarantees that you'll proc Rampage. Reasonably you'll dodge after every swing, giving you mobility and also ripping apart anything that's stupid enough to stay close.
  5. Chorus cooldown is short enough to where if you're actively running around and kiting a bunch of mobs, you can pop it as a get-out-of-jail-free card and just start running back to your team while the waves stagger mobs.
  6. Range is your dumpstat on the Shotgun, having high Reload Speed is crucial. You don't need Flak/Carapace damage modifiers because the Shotgun already obliterates anything with those armor types except for Crushers, which you can just use the Eviscerator on anyways.
  7. Your Shotgun, with Full Bore, can 1 shot anything that isn't a boss or a Crusher- Even from medium distance you can snipe lower-HP specials like Dogs, Bombers, Snipers and Trappers- this thing is NUTS.
