Stimm Lab
Description
Support buff & debuff hive scum.
Theory: Hive Scum is the best support class via Stimm Supply, let’s maximize its use.
This builds is not about having a high TTK, this is about keeping everyone alive and empowering them.
Needle Pistol, Stimm Supply, and Splash Damage keep the toxin spread around everywhere, anything more would be wasted. This in turn causes enemies to deal 15% less damage take 10% more damage via and . Use the stagger of the tac axe special attack to keep heavies tied up and in range of the Stimm Supply and Chem Grenade. I usually try to go for a special-special-light attack pattern but at high attack speeds it’s not that important.
If you have a team composition that’s really good at avoiding damage (smite psyker, shout vet, taunt ogryn) swap Targeted Toxin out for more damage.
Adjust Stimm Lab to personal preference and conditions, e.g. reduce to just two points on each leg (strength, speed, regen) if corruption cleanse is needed.
