Description
This is a pure melee build. It's very ammo efficient because you really need to be leaning into using your dog for special picking and then the bolt pistol is deliberately specced for max crit so that when you need it.. you hold for 1 second and it's basically nearly always a crit.. on average it's about 60-80% crit on a half second quick draw.. I really only use it for snipers or trappers that i've stunned out of a mass of shit with shield blast. This build very easily sustained 50% rending on any target regardless of whether it's staggerable or not because of concussive. For elites do the shield swipe drop down combo.. for hordes push and then move into shield swipe+wide regular swipe combo.. for bosses do the double drop down combo it does quite a bit to monsters.. crushers are very easy to deal with in this build, just lock into the shield bash/quick drop down combo.
This is hands down my favourite build on Arbites. The mobility is very good once you get into the swing of using the mobility aid that all the power attacks have at the end of their animation. You can really just weave through everything just ripping through it like it's nothing, which is why we're using the mark 6 in this build.. the mark 11 is better for the block builds fyi. it's the better shield for this playstyle. the There's A LOT of damage stacking here which I think makes the shield and maul probably higher damage in this specific build than most shock maul builds will do.
