Combined some builds from this site to match my style. General idea is to use sword to clear hordes, and use pistol to hit dangerous enemies in the head. Best case scenario is you kill 3 enemies in melee to trigger 99% crit chance in your next ranged shot, so aiming just 0.2 sec will grant you over 100% crit chance. Then you kill with your ranged weapon and you'll have even more attack speed, this combo is REALLY good. If you don't like to aim you can switch surgical to maybe the one where criticals to weakspot deal 100% more damage or the one that will reduce the arming time to 0 & trigger an explosion. It doesn't take much skill to play with this, just spam left click and dodge when facing hordes, focus on specialist/elite kill with your pistol, Use grenade on big boys and armored if you feel like it, spam shout since you're going to REALLY have a lot of uptime if you're killing specialists.
I feel this build is just really fun to use and nothing feels like "oh man I wish I had another build", you can deal with pretty much anything and if you need to kill bosses both guns are good (special attack from chainsword or headshots with crit and bleeding from pistol) + krak grenade also.
