Description
People saying you can't be the party tank on hivescum are right. But those saying you can't be tanky on hivescum are wrong.
Rampage gives +25% damage resistance, chem dependency gives +15 (20 if you can manage the extra stacks with shorter window to stimm), hive city brawler is up to 20%, and the targeted toxin makes enemies you hit deal -15% damage (so just hit things first, be hyper aggressive), with the stimm giving up to 16% DR on top of that. You can tank a crusher overhead on scum up to auric.
Rampage when you fight, stimm between rampages, you won't have to take extra stamina curios to make the bonesaw usable with the extra attack speed. Use the bonesaw for horde clear and needle pistol for anything big. If you find yourself running out of ammo, take out battering momentum (50% cleave on your next attack if you hit 3 enemies) and replace it with pickpocket (melee elite/specialist kills refill you to 20% ammo).
