Description
Run fast, hit hard, stay alive, get stimmed every minute
Combines rapid light attack spam with cleave and 50%+ crit chance to apply toxin, plus some rending to get through crushers/maulers.
For protection includes all relevant sliding nodes plus the ogryn-tier toughness recovery from Toxin Renewal + Adrenaline + curios.
Clear mixed hordes with Rampage! and use the stimm after it is over. Crushers and maulers should be attacked with heavy attack into a weak spot and/or back (shivs have "hidden" backstab damage bonus). Ragers and specials can be softened with a shiv throw or Needle Pistol and finished with a heavy atack. Spam light attacks on all other targets and monstrocities.
Save 1 chem grenade for an emergency revive, no revive speed is needed on curios.
***
+ 3 stamina curio is MANDATORY
+ 90% toughness regeneration speed is MANDATORY
Ranged weapon is up to personal preference, but the included Needle Pistol allows to ignore havok shooters and reliably kills crushers.
One 17% toughness curio can be replaced with 21% health, to get HP over the 100 mark in havok 40 and avoid being one-shot
Switching from Anarchist to Gunsllinger Improved is an option for ammo-intensive lobbies
