Description
Sub dum dum with Headhunter for more Blazing Piety synergy if you are good about hitting the weak spots. If you prefer fast hip fire melting, stick with dum dum. Combat Blade MK 6 works extremely well as the better weapon choice, if you are better with it. I prefer dueling sword for ease of use and parry crutching at the slightest reduction in shroudfield big hits. Both are perfect for this build. Sub flak or carapace for unyielding to chunk the boss even harder on stealth.
I love playing the recon veteran. After playing with this, and realizing the insane synergy between Recon, Piety, on top of Fatmangus survivability... This is just absolutely insane. You can take all of the damage talents here and never worry about dying -- 90% Toughness damage reduction as long as you are getting a crit, and with Combat Blade - you will have 95% crit uptime, Piety will be up non-stop. Swap to recon and clear entire time rooms, disintegrating everything while still being an absolute god in melee. Your team will be questioning why they even brought a veteran when you do the job better. I found taking the cooldown nor damage reduction was not even worth it on Shroudfield, considering how precious the talent points are for other huge potential items. Shroudfield, since you are critting non-stop, is pretty much ALWAYS up. With 350 health, Bleed for the Emperor and 90% toughness reduction, nothing even remotely scares you. Poxbursters, Snipers and Crusher overheads tickle at best. Also, those stealth clutch revives are money.
