this is not meta its just my recommendation for where to start
-build highlights-
voice of command is a great Oh $#!+ button and applies to everyone near you supporting your team.
focuse target is a good single target dmg multiplier turns your ping (useually middle mouse button) into an ability great against bosses and ogryns
usually recommend the shredder frag over krak nade because it has good synergy with uncanny strike and has good stagger as well as lets you carry more and maximize nade gen through demo stockpile
confirmed kill and out for blood will greatly help with your survivability dodges are important but these will help pump your toughness in general melee.
iron will doubles the effectiveness of your toughness at the top end and along with thoughnesses bleed through on melee hit incentivize keeping toughness at max to gate all damage you can.
we dont take reload speed because good dodges are necessary weather or not we take it reload speed just lets us reload in 2 dodges not 3
-melee options-
honestly the dueling sword mk4 is meta it will be the easiest to use but it isnt very fun in my poinion
chain sword will give you some options against armor and big bullet sponges
-gun options-
the braced auto gun im suggesting is echonomical has some hoard clear potential and is very controlable short to medium range
alternately the mk4 braced auto gun has very deep mags and gets more accurate as you fire.
infantry auto guns - these are the most assult rifle like guns
the mk 5 is more of an SMG
the mark 1 and 8 are much more precise but this whole weapon class struggles with ammo economy
recon las guns
mk 12 is a bullet hose and with "shock trooper" you can get even better ammo economy
once your faimiliar with the games melee i recomend you try the plama gun, bolter, and mk4 chain axe as well as the melee attack speed on the bottom right of the skill tree
