Twin-linked Heavy Stubber gunlugger is dead, long live Explodey gunlugger.
Maximum Smash therapeutic build:
Charge up those heavies and beat any body fluid out of snivealah. Staggerlock the twins on havoc 40 laying into them. Crusher train? boink boink
If you need anything to bow down to the king, pull out the kickback. Hold a few moments for a crit shot, point blank shot into a big target gives good strength bonus.
Box of boom for snivelah parties and you can shake it in the lift.
The Karsolas is nimble while still doing good damage.
UPDATE TO THIS BUILD: Swap Murderous Tranquility for Blazing Spirit, and Fire Frenzy for Raking Fire. Soulblaze has done a lot of DPS on bosses and you donât need the extra Peril quelling from crowd control, and Raking Fire helps make your autogun damage output more consistent.
Would also recommend changing Maniac Damage perk on Greatsword to Crit Chance. You do not need the extra damage to one shot Mutants or Dreg Ragers and more crits is what you want. Carapace Damage may also be good, I have not tested. Maybe Precognition instead of Blazing Spirit? The damage on crit headshot is already nuclearâŚ
Zealot with fury of the faithful, martyrdom and Invocation of Death. You can stack up to 50% melee attack speed. Take a tacAxe for the gore with brutal momentum and decimator.
I call it the shredder.
Get in and get shredding, you are not gonna see your swings as the light attacks will be that fast but you will see the blood. TacAxe requiring a very low distance will make you feel right in the middle - very therapeutic.
Heavy crit builds on zealot. Even today running something with shred (or even without) and slamming into a horde with Fury of the Faithful and Blazing Piety stacks resets the FotF cooldown extremely quickly. I used to run this on a DC blade, but you could do it with an Evi or even on something like a relic blade. Martyrdom builds can work too.
I would like to see Brittleness more viable TBH.
