Description
If you want to do melee damage and shred hordes with a Ripper DoT version, then this build is the best at both. We are taking the hammer for melee because it is the best standalone weapon for Ogryn, without taking too many points into Heavy Hitter, and it still does everything well. For the ranged weapon, we are taking the Ripper Gun MK VI because of the double crit damage and the bleed DoT.
You can take Bonebreaker's Aura if you want to do more damage with the hammer, but I think it’s a bit overkill for me. The extra toughness from Stay Close! is the sweet spot, tanking with Steady Grip, Bullet Bravado and the melee notes Smash 'Em! and The Best Defence, so it’s an all-rounder.
We are only taking Heavy Hitter for the extra damage, because the base impact of the hammer is good enough, and the cleave from Unstoppable Force is also good enough. The extra attack speed isn’t that valuable. You get more value from No Stopping Me!, because you can get to enemies faster and get toughness back.
The most important notes are Massacre and Lucky Streak so the Ripper Gun does almost triple the damage and shreds bosses, hordes and even Crushers (more or less). Together with Light 'em Up and Flechette , you’re doing so much DoT.
