Description

Divider

Works for new players all the way up to havoc 40.

 

Initially tried this build with the right side keystone, but I realized the crusher has enough stagger without it and only marginally more melee damage.   After trying various different highly specialist builds from pure melee to pure ranged, to tank, to boss hunter, I've finally settled on this.  It is capable of doing everything quite well, from crowd control to horde clear to specials to bosses.

 

The other ranged options for this build are the Exterminator mk viii or the Spearhead boltgun.  The Exterminator will allow you to get more melee stacks on your keystone and thus more effectiveness in melee, while the boltgun will have be more 1v1 dps against bosses.  The shield and revolver does pretty good boss damage as well, killing plague ogryn in about two clips of headshots.  In practice you'll have 40% faster reload speed, and can go into castigator stance to take out platoons of specialists from behind your shield while reloading bullets each kill.  

 

The crusher is for killing mixed hordes and carapace elites. Here are the combos:

Quick repeatable horizontal horde clear:  Light -> Heavy -> Tap block to cancel -> Repeat

Long horde Clear combo:  Light -> Heavy -> Light -> Light -> Repeat

Single Target: Heavy -> Light -> Repeat

 

Stay faithful out there guys.  For the Emperor!
