--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main idea of this build:

Spamming Voltaic Emitter on CD for CC and debuffs from System Shock.

Active dive build, be aggressive and learn how to thrive in melee chaos.

Pros:

Tons of control.
Debuffs.
Solid horde clear.
Easy team rescues.
Special/Elite gunner sniping.

Cons:

Boss DPS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have 2 options on Catachan Mk I "Devil's Claw" Sword, which will determine our playstyle:

Skullcrusher which will buff our DPS vs beefy targets: Bosses [If team got boss stagger tools], Crusher [Respectable ~1200 DPS in H40], Reaper and Scab Mauler. We will prioritize elites listed before in this variation.
Wrath will provide great mixed horde clear speed, but we will lose ~30% solo target dps. We will dive gunners (Gather 2 stacks of Voltaic Emitter before doing so. Be aware, that gunners hiding behind obstacles will not be affected by gun jamming (Skitarii is super squishy vs small gunners) and deal with anything which jumps on us after.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Possible node adjustments:

If we prefer just to spam lights on Catachan Mk I "Devil's Claw" Sword or Catachan Mk VII "Devil's Claw" Sword , we drop Hydraulic Impact and grab Adaptive Combat Engram for more survivablity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alternative weapons:

Branx Mk XI Paired Transonic Blades 5%Crit/Carapace + Shred/ Riposte / Superiority
Different DevilClaw mark you enjoy.
Branx Mk III Arc Maul 5%Crit/Something + Enhanced Voltaic Arcs + Execution / All or Nothing / Confident Strike
Shock Mauls
Combat Blades Carapace/Flak + Riposte / Precognition / Haymaker or Flesh Tearer + Mercy Killer

Additional Tips:

Branx Mk CV Galvanic Rifle with this setup is the best special/anti-gunner tool. DON'T USE ADS with this gun! Stop for a milisecond and hipfire oneshot at enemy head. Spamming is inacurate too, so just time your shots well.
Switch for Ablative Wards on The Blight Spreads and Toxic Gas missions, thank me later.
