Description
Pretty chill build. Everything you do spreads poison, so go be a generous Doctor.
- High Crit for maximum triggers of Coated Weaponry . I like Shred on the Bonesaw for this reason and more frequent Hyper-Critical procs.
- I really like this curio set up. I find that running more than 1 Stamina curio is unnecessary. If you want the extra attack speed from more Stamina, then by all means take it, but with the Bonesaw you have 10 stacks of Swift Endurance from just 1 +3 Stamina Curio which is 20% attack speed. I prefer the extra Toughness just for a liiiiiittle more leeway vs Havoc ranged enemies.
- Hive Scum Stamina regen is insane and with triple Stamina regen we are basically always above 75% which is great for Jittery and the damage resistance on Hive City Brawler. Revive speed is a preference.
- I like Blackout for quick and easy Tox application and quick staggers in hairy moments. You can easily swap these for either of the other 2 blitzes, at your preference. I would take the +1 Blitz node over the Pocket Toxin node with the other 2 blitzes though.
- With the Saw's lower mobility, I like Alley Rat the over Nimble , although again this is a preference thing.
Regarding Stimm tree:
- The Barrage tree is nice for your team the higher the Havoc levels go, and for you. 16% DR on top of the 20% from Hive City Brawler is certainly nice when you're taking chip toughness damage. Means you can have 51% TDR on max Chemical Dependency stacks as well, not bad for a squishy class.
- I've maxed out Wildfire to Fury II because Rending is premium now that it's been (mostly) removed from weapon Blessings, + anything that helps burst down Crushers is good in my book.
