Description
Godspeed
This build is nae intended to give you the most optimised Havoc 40 build, there are more than enough of those as is.
This is supposed to give you something better. SPEED.
What I put in, why and how to use it
When moving, keep your Tigrus Mk XV Heavy Eviscerator in hand and approx. every second and half press the special action to keep it on permanently, so long as you are running. This is the biggest buff to your movement speed this whole build is oriented around. Takes care of hordes and armour, as well as picking out elites and specialists you charge at.
The Zarona Mk IIa Quickdraw Stub Revolver is simply my personal preference, feel free to change the model, or perhaps swap it for something else, so long as it is a precise weapon that lets you snipe targets you cannot close in on, like those behind ravines or on ledges.
Thanks to Thy Wrath be Swift you cannot be stunned by attacks, so you are unstoppable as long as you are not blocked by meat shields, hordes arguably one of the weaker spots of the build, but mostly compensated by Savage Sweep. Providence is great support, so you can sweep into the fray and revive as fast as possible, so long as your weave game is good, further complimented by my favourite Stunstorm Grenade.
Keep dodging, I picked out as many talents that support it as I could find along the way down. Feel free to swap Grievous Wounds for something you like (perhaps Backstabber, cant go wrong with that one).
Zealous makes sure you dont run out of stamina easily, nor your teammates, for the few seconds you happen to be in their coherency before rolling off again.
Fury of the Faithful is here for extra distance coverage, especially useful when charging gunners without grenades, and also possible to ultilise as an escape tool, for which I left Redoubled Zeal here. Unrelenting Fury and Martyr's Purpose got your back with the cooldown, so dont be temperate with using them in the slightest.
And most importantly Inexorable Judgement is here to make sure every stop you take will hurt everyone else more than you, if possible.
Anything you feel is reduntant among the talents I used, go ahead and change them to what catches your eye, I am by far not the most learned in balancing the damage of a build with the gimmick I want it to have.
What you should be experiencing
The final speed and stamina of this build is arguably the highest I could achieve without sacrificing all the damage capabilities. You are way faster than all the melee enemies, and way faster than the Hive Scum can dream of. Once I even outran a dog pouncing on me from about 5 metres while moving aligned with its trajectory. I would not recommend slide sprinting that is most commonly performed to maximize distance travelled with this build around enemies, you are not missing out on much movement and are losing the dodge capability while doing so.
