Description
Tried to make a build around my favorite melee weapon and the new plasma gun mark. Fair warning, unsure of the viability in higher havocs but felt very good in Auric Maelstrom. Could try some switching around with Chordclaw to Advanced Combat Doctrines, but as the ability is currently bugged, I haven't really bothered with it much. The plasma gun mark 2 would probably be better for an ACD build.

EDIT: I think this configuration (Power Blast, Rising Heat) of blessings/perks is better, with the caveat of making uncharged attacks slightly worse. It will feel bad killing specialists unless you hit them with a partially charged shot. Your servo skull is going to be your primary special killer on this build.
Gets Hot! still feels great and you can absolutely run it over power blast if that's your preference. If you want to lean into using your uncharged attacks a bit more, I would sub out carapace for flak or maniacs.

The subnodes of the Chordclaw are also up for review:
Satiated Steel is great. I can definitely see an argument for using it over Slice and Dice. It's really 50/50 for me. This build will get great benefits from both the extra boss damage and the increased uptime. If you're wondering which one you should use, go watch Reginald's video on YouTube.
