Description
This build can deal with everything apart from very long range.
The flamethrower is especially good in corridoors and will kill everything. If you've got blazing piety active then you will never have to reload thanks to everlasting flame.
The combat axe heavy attack will give them a minature stun if you hit them in the head. Beware though, as it is inconsistent. You should dodge incase it doesn't stun and thanks to duelist, you will gain 50% more weakspot and crit damage and 15% toughness when you do a successful dodge. So when there's a load of maulers, crushers etc. You spam heavy attacks to their heads and dodge alot.
Fury of the faithful is good for general mobility, stunning groups of ragers, adding a decent chunk of extra damage on priority targets, charging groups of ranged enemies like shotgunners to force them into melee mode. You get a guaranteed crit with it which will activate enduring faith (50% toughness damage reduction for 4s on critical hit). Never be afraid to use fury because it will be available like 90% of the time no matter what.
The weakness of this build is dealing with bombers and snipers and long ranges. The throwing knives only work upto medium distances reliably but they get the job done once you learn to aim with them. They are a must as if you choose one of the other grenades you will simply have this massive weakspot that will get you killed.
