Description
Theory: Wha's this karking noise? Get stabbin'.
Melee god, the overall 50% crit rate and high finesse is perfect for Hyper-critical, with Flesh Tearer and Mercy Killer on the Shivs for taking out heavies. Don't stop moving, EVER. Through the use of shield gating with Burst of Energy you can actually take a heavy hit, just not a crusher overhead.
Hyper-critical allows you to dispatch hordes with mere light attacks, helps with heavies too.
The alternate, blue mode of the needle pistol is for spreading toxin procs, enabling you to drop the Coated Weaponary passive for Toxin Renewal. Yellow mode for stacking procs on a single target.
Make sure you stay up on your stim habit, the +20% crit chance and +40% cooldown are the backbone of the build. This lets you drop ability cooldown from your curios, which allows you to stack resistances, which allows you to run stamina curios.
This build is all about having an incredible high attack speed without sacrificing damage numbers, to do this I run two stamina curios and have it for one of my weapon perks, that's 10 stamina total which gives you +20% attack speed from Swift Endurance. This plus the bonuses from Rampage (+20%) and the stim (+8%) is a lot of attack speed for an already fast weapon.
