Description

11/12/2024: I have updated the build to take the survivalist aura, field improv, and a few node swaps.

See video below for showcase + Inflitrator version :)

"Your crime is your foul existence. The Penalty is Death!"

This build works really well with the buffed bolt pistol too!

PROS:
• Very fun to use
• Unlimited Dodges (due to the "Agile" blessing of the Duelling Sword)
• Magic Reload (due to the "Always Prepared" talent node, bottom left of "Weapon Specialist" keystone)
• Carries Auric + Missions
• Easily Clutches Auric + Missions
• More buttons to press!
• Saltzpyre!

CONS:
• More buttons to press :(
• Lots Weapon Swapping (Some people find this annoying)
• Average Horde Clear

Feel free to leave a comment for any questions. Enjoy!
