Paladin of the End-Times
 Skitarii Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

The goal of this Paladin Skitarii build is to consistently generate teamwide toughness through Power Overflow, while taking just enough offensive talents to control the front lines. It also stacks many types of damage reduction to keep your personal toughness maxed out, because you can not regenerate your team's toughness while you are regenerating your own.

You are the rocks of the eternal shore. They will crash against you. And they will be broken.

This Paladin Skitarii build is optimized to maximize the survivability of quick play groups at high difficulties. As such, it favors reliable defensive talents over offensive ones. If you find yourself not needing this level of safety, I highly encourage you to move talent points away from defense and into offense to match your personal preference.

-------

The build has a very simple gameplan. You want to Chain the Arc Maul's heavy attack 3 and 4 to stagger everything in front of you while generating toughness. Anything not staggered by your heavy attacks WILL be staggered by your Chordclaw Strike. You can also use Chordclaw Strike to buy time to replenish your stamina, or for bursts of speed to reposition. For bosses, use phosphor pistol to apply brittleness, then use the charge attack on Chordclaw Strike to deal massive single target damage. If you are ever out of capacitance charges, use the special action on your arc maul to clear groups instead.

Phosphor Pistol is fantastic at sniping problems before they become one. A quick swap into 2-3 hip fires is enough to solve most problems.

ARC MAUL COMBO

To quickly get into the Arc Maul's heavy side swings, charge heavy attack after pushing. The side swinging heavies repeat forever.

DO NOT DO PUSH ATTACK.

For an overhead combo, reset your swings by blocking. Then chain 2 heavy attacks into 2 light attacks. Repeat. You can also chain 2 Heavy attacks into 1 light attack, then alternate heavy and light swings.

- HEAVY - HEAVY- LIGHT - LIGHT - HEAVY - HEAVY - LIGHT etc            OR            HEAVY - HEAVY - LIGHT - HEAVY - LIGHT - HEAVY etc

Equipment Changes

The Arc Maul can be replaced with the Shock Maul for better single target damage.

Curios can replace Ally Revive Speed if you find consistently find yourself not using all of your Medicae Servo-Skull charges

Phosphor Pistol's Man-Stopper can be replaced with crit blessings

Talent Changes

Medicae Servo-Skull , Threat Detection Imperative , and Binary Ballistics Protocol are all luxury defensive talents that can be reallocated for more damage or less personal defense for more teamwide buffs.

Easy offensive talent replacements include Noospheric Command , Moebian Conductor , Galvanic Marking Array , Hybrid Combat Covenant , Retribution Conduit Retribution Conduit 

Last Stand Relay Flux Conduit Build-Up is an easy dip for more capacitance generation. I would not route through Adaptive Combat Calibration because you should have enough cleave already, but it is an option.

For more toughness generation and damage you can route into the top of the right side of the tree through Moebian Conductor to get Superior Defence Engrams
