General tips / thoughts
Branx Mk VI Mechanicus Power Sword is my favorite class weapon, but they're all good and work well on this build.
For Power Sword specifically, I ended up dropping the Cleave nodes on the tree (Shockline Breach Protocol) because of Sunder + Machine Spirit combo. You cleave through everything with empowered heavies, even EVIL Vanguards. You can cut Machine Spirit Resurgent for Superiority but I'd consider adding Shockline Breach Protocol if you do so. I would never cut Sunder because the other blessings are terrible on this weapon. 4s active time Decapitator is contender for the worst blessing in the game.
The Power Sword can one shot Mutants with Empowered Heavy 1. Its very fun.
Target Prioritization Psalms is the secret juice. See ALL the specialists, melee them through walls, one shot them with Branx Mk XI Phosphor Blast Pistol. Its good. You also get Salvation Doctrine which lets you pull off Zealot-tier revives to save charges on your Medicae Servo-Skull. You can cut these two nodes for Moebian Conductor and Ammo-Cell Augury , or also cut Hydraulic Impact to path into Ammunition-Restoration Pod. You have free will.
Ablative Wards is extremely OP, I run it even on non-blight maps. Of course, its main purpose is letting you ignore Blight like Zealot does. Other underrated things it does is reduce Pox Hound corruption damage, makes you sit in Beast of Nurgle belly forever, and Chaos Spawn munch after being grabbed does like 1-2 damage to you which is surprisingly nice the few times the game actually works and you aren't being magdumped by a Purple Reaper while grabbed :D.
The pathing on the build lets you change Blitzes to what you desire. You should always take Overcharged Refraction Emitter / Overcharged Arc Grenades if you do so. You can also easily swap from Chordclaw Strike to Voltaic Emitter, and from Flensing Protocols to Redline Capacitors, but Flensing Protocols is just without a doubt the best keystone. Don't bother with Power Overload until it gets buffed.
