Description
wanted to make an arbites version of a thunder hammer bonk build, enjoy. the name of the game here is crusher killing if you couldnt guess. ogryn enemies in general are not scary at all when running this build as they fall down and die quickly. the talents listed here are not set in stone and there is room for swapping based on preference. some possible options include Will of the Lex , Targets Acquired , and No Escape . theres also Strike Down and Target Priority but i don't know if its worth getting rid of Soulguilt Scan and Zealous Dedication for them. for the crusher, Slaughterer can be used in place of Opportunist , but opportunist is good at getting rid of crushers/ragers/maulers in less hits when you don't have many slaughterer stacks.
Voltaic Shock Mine will build stacks of Arbites Vigilant like crazy. its a very valuable defensive and offensive tool. you have nade regen so using it before most waves is encouraged.
a sub-build that you can use if you want to lean more heavily into general damage is dropping Monstrosity Hunter and Street Smarts , taking Targets Acquired and No Escape , and replacing opportunist with slaughterer.
use Break the Line liberally. the cooldown is ~13 seconds and if you build enough stacks you can pretty easily get very high uptime on vigilant.
the revolver does a very good job at dealing with mutants, snipers, and reapers. its also my go to for groups of ragers and gunners.
combos
special -> heavy -> light -> heavy will kill crushers
special -> light -> light -> heavy will kill bulwarks
push block attack -> heavy -> light -> push block attack... will maintain Drive them Back for horde clears
heavy -> light -> heavy... is the priority target combo
heavy -> light -> push block attack is a really good option against mixed hordes/priority targets. good against maulers especially
note that you can't special before using BTL, you have to BTL then special. using BTL with full stacks of vigilant will make heavy->light kill just about every enemy in the game besides monstrosities.
