All-Rounder Lightning (Capacitance Not Included)
 Skitarii Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

This is a pure lightning build without any capacitance assistance that utilizes every-single node without wasting a single track. In fact, you ignore all abilities/blitzes, including nodes for capacitance and go pure damage for the best of both worlds. Melee for mobs. Range for elites. Perfect fit. You keep your distance with elites and shred through for your team, without having to rely on any abilities or blitzes. Melee get's even better as you roll into a survivable bruiser - building off stagger that makes toughness never go away. Also, you still have your basic, unadvanced Voltaic Emitter that helps clear mobs for when you run out of melee lightning, thus giving you plenty of time to recharge. Additionally, that Arc Rifle that takes forever to reload; guess what that's doing? It's auto-reloading while you clear and travel (aka Reloading NOT required).

IMHO: All abilities and blitzes for the Skitarii are purely situational. Solution: avoid being in that situation. Bubble = out in the open, why? Cat Claw = Elite's in your face, why? Aim Assist Mode = You can't aim in their general direction, why? Now, I tried each of these just to have fun with them but they didn't provide any sense of efficiency, and forced me to take nodes I could otherwise put elsewhere - and the limited amount of uses didn't help the attractiveness; so why risk it? Additionally, I found that the keystones are really nice. For this build, you could go into Power Overload but it just takes too long to build into; relies more on defense; and gives back capacitance which you don't need; furthermore a node would need to be put in for switch-stancing, like the veteran, which we are not doing. The juiciness of Flensing Protocols is you already start with your stacks and get them back automatically through playing, and thus provide you with not only more survivability but more damage; which for the added most left node is purely for attack speed (not crit) so you can move that one if you already feel like the speed is good. Best defense is a good offense!

Granted: This build can be tweaked to your preference. We left TWO NODES available should you wish to put them toward Voltaic Emitter and Voltaic Motivator for even MORE ATTACK SPEED, or the TWO AVAILABLE BLITZES should you still want to feel special :)  ENJOY! <3
