Talent Tree
Description
The talent tree rework has greatly strengthened a veteran who swaps weapons for different types of enemies. I play melee-centric veteran. I don't play at the highest difficulties, unknown viability there.
Light attack chain for horde, activate the power ability on the falchion for anything more than stragglers. Keep Swinging mod is good to use. Very often you'll find you 1 shot horde, particularly when the sword is activated.
Plasma gun for elites and specialists, use executioner's stance when swapping from melee to ranged, reload between groups.
Krak grenades for ogryns and monstrosities. Shoot them when out of grenades.
I prefer Survivalist because I don't like the hunt for ammo against your teammates. Fire Team maybe better.
I don't like Voice of Command. Team just needs to hold it together. I prefer to illuminate the battlefield to shoot better at elites and specialists when things get dicey.
