Spam M1 at heads for huge damage. Crit rate at 80% peril will be 68.5%, 73.5% with souldrinker active, and a crazy 93.5% with souldrinker active and during the active portion of scrier's gaze.
Melee recommendations include dueling sword (still amazing), combat knife, and great sword, but you can basically use whatever you want. Horde clear can be a bit rough with this build at times so something that can do that in a pinch can be useful. I find combat knife does it well enough.
For the star of the show we have the electro staff. Unyeilding/Carapace are the only useful perks for this build as ttk will not be noticeablely increased with anything else. If you want more reaper/bulwark/boss damage use Unyeilding. With the huge crusher hp buff in the recent update, I'd stick with unyielding and use melee/teammates to deal with crushers.
Because your main targets are already elites and then specials, you don't really need In Fire Reborn or Psychic Vampire to reliably build warp charges.
