As a foil to my Havoc 'full tank' set up using the Suppression Shield, this one is meant to be 'full damage' instead. Maximize the damage of the shield, run around bashing everything to death, and get hardly punished for it while doing so. To that end, one might question why I have no upgrade points in Break the Line, and it's because 'this build doesn't need it'. Sure, 6 seconds of increased damage is great, and you're still using it on cooldown for that reason. But in-between, I wanted to lean on the 'Suppression' side of the Shield, and use it's special 'alt fire' action more liberally. As such, to encourage that notion, I leave Break the line alone, take more consistently up damage increases (like Soulguilt Scan and Weight of the Lex), and in-between Combat Ability activation's, I use the 'shield slam' to stun enemies and keep them suppressed while I wait for my push to come off cooldown (or hide behind the shield gaining charge in a pinch if needed). It's a pretty entertaining gameplay loop, made better by Forceful's Stun immunity and constant toughness regen/constant 5 second cooldown stagger wave. You never really feel 'in danger', always having an out be it raising the shield or shoving everything over, and still having plenty of DR for all the moments you aren't hiding behind it. Dog helps keep things dying as well, with Remote Detonation doing it's work as it wipes everything with Electrocuting DoT. And beyond all that, you got a super fast draw revolver easily capable of 2 shotting Crushers and 1 shotting everything else, while doing pretty good damage to Monstrosities in a pinch on top of it.Main combo loop consists of push attack into light heavy string, or starting off with a heavy light string for wave clear. Double heavy into light heavy string after that lets you deal with most specials/elites (or push attack into the heavy light string), and anything beyond that you shoot with your Revolver. Dog helps cover you while you're reloading, so even without Judicious Efficiency it works just fine, and in a pinch you can always just smack it down with the shield even if it isn't 'optimal'. If the havoc build is an immovable object, this is an unstoppable force, and either or will get you cleanly to extraction with many kills under your belt, and little damage sustained.
