Description

2nd attempt to post:

KeepSwinging mod required, unless you want RSI.

Any ranged weapon will do -- I like Bolters for the "oh shit" factor.

Brutal Momentum or Shred is also fine too. I think Tactical Axe + Zealot talents give enough crit though. Use your preferred mark of TAxe -- Mark IV is better for hordes, and Mark II and VII are better for single target. 

2 Wound Curios is a must for Martyrdom. Last Curio is your preference -- I prefer Toughness. My substats aren't exactly meta or ideal (I think there's a 50% limit to the Gunner resist), but I've been fine with it so far.

Stun Grenades for res-ing in a crowd, but any blitz is fine.

I prefer Fury of the Faithful, but any of the Abilities would work. I can see Shroudfield being really fun.

Basic idea: Spam light attacks with Tactical Axe, get as many crits as possible while also getting as low HP as possible. Divebomb into every horde you see and turn into a blender. I have not taken this build into Auric or Havoc, so ymmv.
