This build shouldn’t need any introduction
Mk III, Frags and Bolter
sacrificed Precision Strikes and Superiority Complex to get a cuple of crit p*** talents on the right to enhance your baseball bat experience, breaking points be damned (puncture will help with those anyways)
dropped the stam curio cause that never worked for me with the bat
the push attack just works (against armor and bosses obv) just as if you were playing Mk VI for some reason, 3 taps crushers consistently on the push attack, light, light
when you get walled you throw ONE grenade at your feet and just start swinging your bat, basic stuff
113 HP and 144 Toughuness at lvl 40
don’t be tempted to go for the +25 toughness talent on the right, it won’t do anything, you are never supposed to stand still like a lemon with marksman focus on
versatile between ranged and melee, all rounder, boss killer, support, noob carrier, its giving me plenty of satisfaction and never feel useless
only warning, you will get carried away with the baseball bat, and basic groaners will kill you eventually

My only thoughts/notes:
I personally take Cleave Targets as the 60% on the powersword, because Sunder basically just gives you infinite cleave (from my experience, I think the only thing I’ve ever stopped on is multiple crusher heads sometimes), and you gain a single extra cleave target (from 7 to 8) with that percentage, verses doing that little bit more damage to all the enemies you strike. At the end of the day it’s personal preference, as we are talking such a small amount of change for either stat, but since I have a blessing fully making up for the cleave but not necessarily the damage, I go for that for that ~0.05 damage increase.
And beyond that, Longshot just isn’t a talent to me, so unless I’m taking it because a build HAS to have Exhilarating Takedown I don’t ever care for it. It only begins to give you damage at 12-15 meters, and only gives you it’s max output at 25+, so unless you’re routinely sniping targets literally cross map, just doesn’t feel like it ever helps to me. I think against roided snipers is the only thing I’d see it being useful for, but not sure if those are a thing in Havoc atm, and even then you could take precision strikes to help to make up the difference across the board. Though, if you just hyper value that reload speed, then ‘understandable have a nice day’, I just tend to function fine off tactical reload so I’d rather have that little extra bump to toughness and Superiority Complex.
But, again, these are mainly just ‘you might want to try’ stuffs, obviously this works well for you so ‘to each there own’ and it’s all personal preference from this point anyway, but figured I’d offer what thoughts came up!
Longshot is just a tax for the reload talent, you can sacrifice both of course, but just so happen that i like play bolter with both reload talents and i wasn’t going to cheat you by posting a different build that i used in game
then i go 60% cleave damage because i did the math and there was only 9 damage difference between a 60% cleave damage and 80% last time i checked
and no, unfortunately sunder doesn’t give you unlimited cleave as it should, especially in havoc where often enemies get mass buffs and such
but even in normal games you can’t cleave more than 5 maulers/bullworks
