Description

Divider

The playstyle for this build is essentially using the FGS for everything, whipping out assail for the odd sniper, and using the staff for CC only when in danger of being overwhelmed by armored enemies. For hordes on the FGS, simply chain 3 lights and one heavy. For elites/bosses, chain heavies. If you want to stab on demand for any reason, chain 1 light into 1 heavy.

THIS IS BY NO MEANS A "MIN-MAXED" BUILD.

Min-maxed would likely use psykinetics aura and potentially drop warp unbound, among other things. That said, I use this setup because it just feels nicer to play:

  1. Assail feels way better to use over BB
  2. Mind in motion because you should be quelling to extend scriers, and getting slowed while quelling feels bad.
  3. Warp unbound because even though this isn't a warp focused build, you can easily exit scriers in a tight spot where you need to use your FGS special or your staff. This ensures you don't have to worry about accidentally blowing up.
