Description

Divider

I've been running some variation of this setup since the Arbite launched, and it is easily my most fun and most successful build. The ONLY thing this build struggles with is boss damage against the monstrosities, but everything else, even the shielded captains, are fodder for you to bully. Damage is not the primary purpose of this build, but rather to be a melee stagger powerhouse that can knock down anything and wade through the hordes of crushers with impunity.

Aim for melee headshots to stagger and build up Hammerblow, then you will be knocking everything down. Use Break the Line as needed to gap close and to throw the crushers or maulers on their asses. 

The Mark 8 shotgun is my favourite of the two, as the tighter spread allows you to snipe distant specials and more consistently proc Full Bore. Also, just sic the puppy on them and get the bonus from Canine Morale.

Give it a try! This build stomps through ~Havoc 20, but I've yet to push beyond 23 yet.

 

Melee Combos:
Hordes: Charged Heavy -> Light, rinse repeat
Single Target: Light -> Charged Heavy, etc
