Description
It's not the best build and can definitely be finished, but it's a very fun build for close combat veteran.
You can swap additional toughness node for a Field Improvisation, but a think veteran doesn't have much ways to reduce toughness damage/replenish toughness quick , so I lean on Iron Will and Voice of Command.
Only In Death Does Duty End is also optional. You can run all 3 toughness curio with revive speed instead. Personally I need more stamina for running and blocking.
Laspistol is great for sniping specials and put fire stacks on to a bosses (if we run out of Krak Grenade and can't kill it quick). Also it keeps my mobility. You can swap Laspistol for much heavier weapon, like M35 Magnacore Mk II Plasma Gun , or Locke Mk IIb Spearhead Boltgun, if you struggle with heavy armor.
(If you choose Locke Mk IIb Spearhead Boltgun , be sure to grab One Motion)
Heavy Sword is a hidden gem of the veteran class. It is easy to use, and scale very high with Serrated Blade node. I run it with flak/maniacs and deal with carapace armour by Kraks. For Scab Plasma Gunner and Scab Mauler aim for a shoulder with heavy attack or just spam light attack for bleed stacks.
Heavy sword can deal great damage to a carapace armour. So you can run it with carapace/flak or even carapace/+10% elite damage to specialize even more.
Have fun!
