Description
I’ve personally played this build up to H20 duo and 2 bots with a pretty new friend easily. This build excels in melee but stim pistol is insane for thinning hordes on secondary mode, special sniping, elite killing, and boss DOT’ing, on first mode.
Important stuff
This build doesn’t have blessed stimms, if playing havoc without a beacon of purity aura zealot, stimm pack scum, or field improvisation vet consider ditching a point for blessed stimms
This build may not be hyper optimized for this game especially H40 since i haven’t played past H20
This build has pretty low toughness and no health buffs, okay DR and good toughness regen, if you play this build wrong and don’t know how it works you will die pretty often. Play it right and you melt everything in melee and dodge everything easily.
Change aura if you feel the team doesn’t need ammo often
Change dodge aura to your preference
Toughness regen
56.25% on using stim
100%on activating rampage
30% over 3s on taking ranged dmg
50% restored on toughness break, 10 sec cd also gives stun immunity for 6s
4% on melee hit
8% on melee crit or weakspot hit
12% on melee crit weakspot hit
Standard regen on melee kill 5%
TDR
20% from maxed chem dependency
20% on max stamina
Damage amps
20% at no stamina(rarely fully active) and not really needed cause atk speed is buffed with high stamina anyway
15% close range on dodge for 3s
Hyper-violence
Crit chance buffs
4% per chained hit(don’t miss)while using comb axe stacks 5 times
5% per chem dependency stack (4 times)
20% for 3s on dodge and perfect block
10% as base for scum
70% total if all is working perfectly
Attack speed is buffed by 2% per stamina available with combat axe and these curios you get 20% at max stamina
Effectively infinite ammo, melee kills on elites or specials will restore up to 20% ammo if below 20% ammo
Stim grants
20% str and 35% finesse, 4% atk speed, 25% swap speed, 5% toughness replenishment, 4% tdr and health dr
Use stim pistol sprinting to dodge ranged hits while above 50% stam
Horde clear isn’t great without rampage but you regen it very quickly with these curios and maxed chem dependency up
Focus on keeping finesse up by one shotting light elites and horde enemies, without missing, this with your high crit chance. And your crit and weakspot dmg buffs from high finesse allows you to one shot most enemies other than bosses, and crushers, maybe maulers and bulwarks with a crit weakspot hit. Especially while stim buffs are up.
To melt a boss mag dump stim pistol into them to max toxin DOT, pop rampage, melee kill one trash mob as often and soon as possible for hyper violence, spam heavies to the head, after dodging a hit, you could immediately rocket them(optionally)
Give me any feedback on this build since i use it and would love to improve it.
