I’m at level 27 and so far I have been playing exclusivly melee and I love it! Mistakes are actually punished (the way they once were on other classes) while perfection is rewarded it’s great.

Which would be ok if it was a glass cannon but it feels like a glass pool noodle to me. The melee weapons feel weak. Perhaps I need to unlock more of the tree but that’s how it feels ATM
What weapons etc you using? Everything feels so pony

He feels extremely powerfull to me, Rampage! turns you into a monster! Speaking of weapons though I don’t like the crowbar it doesn’t have any blessings I like, the cleaver’s good but slow and slow weapons don’t synergise with Rampage! the shivs though, oh I love them! Their fast attack speed allows you to keep rampage up as long as there are enemies around. As for ranged weapons mac 10’s are good but not really anything special imo twin pistols I have yet to try and the needle pistol might be overpowered. Blitzes rocket launcher is fun but it’s probably the worst blitz tox grenades are zealots fire grenade but good and the blinder is my favorite, being able to stun and knock down enemies whenever you want is geat for surviving when you are in your weakened post Rampage! state and if you combine them with pocket toxin then they just become filthy as hel.
Yes! Shiv + rampage is the most fun out of the class for me. You really get a lot of killing done. I stay alive by constantly dodging and repositioning. You get punished hard if you mess this up. The node Slippery Customer possibly helps - immune to melee attacks while sliding - but would like to see its uptime.

The one really big weakness imo with hive scum is reving downed players, his lack of tankiness makes it really dangerous even with 3 revive speed curious.

Yeah exactly this. The blind grenades come in handy again like you mentioned earlier

What blessing you use on the shivs?
The class is fun, but its toughness economy is pretty bad in my opinion. I also think the class is extremely weak starting out, with most of its power coming from later talents.
So far I really like the chem grenade, the saw, enhanced desperado and rampage. I’m level 20 or so and don’t have much experience with other stuff. The stimm mechanic feels super wierd though. It sounds silly but its a bit of micromanagement that I don’t really care for.

Run and gun is the important one it increased toxic damge while running but really this gun would be good even grey

It has blessings for crit chance which is a bit weird. Surely crit strike doesn’t affect the poison? If so that’s definitely not worth taking

I don’t know honestly I took gloryhunter on it for extra safety, btw don’t dump mobility dump stabilty instead the gun has no recoil.

I wonder if 25% damage to unarmoured works for all enemies if it bypasses armour
