Description
The point of this build is to crank out crits with secondary Inferno attacks and be able to place a new shield before your current one expires. It is a deviation of the standard Shriek Inferno builds that sacrifices some extra damage and peril management for supreme defense.
The Inferno staff is preferred as it cuts through hordes and maximizes the crits you can pull off.
Two toughness curios supplemented by one health curio is nice but not mandatory. Go for combat ability regen on all and modify them as you see fit.
The Devil Claw is a defensive tool only. Use it to back off any heretics who get too close. The generous Parry window allows you to keep alive when rushed by melee specialist and elite as well as fend off Plague Ogryn and Chaos Spawn.
It works both in defensive and offensive playstyles and should allow you to keep your squad covered for advancing under heavy fire or to throw shields down over those downed or endangered.
