Description

A slightly cursed, off-meta build I came up with. The idea is to maintain the maximum number of damage buff against Electrocuted enemies and not rely on abilities. 

Try to use Chordclaw Strike to kill a target every time you reach max charge to maintain your damage buffs and avoid using Chordclaw Strike below max charge. Of course, lowering your damage buffs is better than dying, so Chordclaw Strike can still be used to get yourself out of sticky situations when needed. 

Using Chordclaw Strike at max charge grants a +25% Strength buff from Advanced Power Management and a +15% damage buff Moebian Conductor. Redline Capacitors, Satiated Steel and Augmented Power-Cycle should provide enough Capacitance regen to maintain these buffs at max Charge with very high uptime. On gaining a charge, you also gain +12.5% Strength from Sequenced Charge

 

The other half of the damage buffs comes from damage bonuses against Electrocuted enemies by taking all the relevant nodes from the top of the skill tree. While at 4 Charges, Retribution Conduit grants a 30% damage buff against Electrocuted enemies, the extra 5% damage is not worth it to avoid maintaining all the other buffs from using Chordclaw Strike at max charge. 

I did not take Voltaic Emitter since it can not be used one charge at a time. Instead, you spread Electricution through the Branx Mk III Arc Maul, Integrated Refraction Emitter, Voltaic Burst, and Electro-Strike Conduit. Overcharge Transfer Lattice also spreads Electricution but should not be relied upon since it requires taking damage. 

 

Optional nodes to take out: 

Voltaic Resistance 

Voltaic Burst (is only useful when the Branx Mk III Arc Maul is off)

Shockline Breach Protocol 

Augmented Power-Cycle (Can be replaced with any other Capacitance regen node)

Overcharge Transfer Lattice (mostly a safety node that also happens to Electricute; can be replaced with any other safety node) 

Electro-Strike Conduit  (is only useful when the Branx Mk III Arc Maul is off)

Resurgence(can be replaced with Foe-Render Creed

 

Optional nodes to add in: 

Binary Ballistics Protocol(take to reach Moebian Conductor if dropping Augmented Power-Cycle or Electro-Strike Conduit

Ablative Wards(For annoying Havoc modifiers) 

Entropic Transfer

Kinetic Repulsion 

Adaptive Combat Calibration 

Force Distribution Actuators 

Hydraulic Impact 

Foe-Render Creed(Replace Resurgence for more Cleave & Rending)  

Axial Slash 

 

A ranged weapon can be whatever you want. 

M35 Magnacore Mk II Plasma Gun & Branx Mk CV Galvanic Rifle for big burst damage

Branx Mk XI Phosphor Blast Pistol is great against specials + damage buffs against bosses. 

Branx Mk IV Arc Rifle has overall great synergy with the build and is good against pretty much anything.
