Description

This is quickly becoming my favorite Skitarius build. The Branx Mk VI Mechanicus Power Sword feels so good - though, it's the only part of the build I have doubts about (specifically, the perks on it). Carapace damage was chosen as you do really want to be hitting headshots with this weapon, and a good number of Elites have that armor type on their head. Moreover, the new Vanguard enemies have Carapace shields. In my testing I wasn't able to come to a conclusion on whether or not my DPS against those specific targets was higher with or without it.

The Branx Mk IV Arc Rifle is a great sidearm, able to shred through basically any group of anything sans Crushers. But it doesn't do bad damage to them, either, especially if you prime them with Voltaic Emitter first. To me, it feels vastly superior than Chordclaw Strike , and Advanced Combat Doctrines only shines on dedicated builds. 

Flensing Protocols is also too good not to take. You could take Resurgence instead of Foe-Render Creed, but I think the Power Sword benefits from it too much. There are also multiple other tweaks I'd make in conjunction with that change that would be easier to upload as a separate build than explain in the description here.
