Alex's Unwieldy Builds for Occult Defence
As you may well be aware when my connection was working fine I was in OD a lot. I was the first kid on my block with a confirmed kill! However by unpopular demand I am posting my Assault Rifle / <weapon of choice> builds here. I like Assault Rifle. A lot. Sometimes I feel I might just be an American survivalist....
Assault Rifle / Chaos
For when you absolutely are too lazy to build anything else but have to vaguely stay alive I present this monstrosity.
Actives
Incendiary Grenade (purge + DOT + AOE + Nemain procs)
Placed Shot
Full Auto (with Nemain it makes a rapid mess of most things below 21)
High Explosive Grenade (Nemain procs on this too)
Reality Fracture (AOE exposed)
Twist Fate (damage reflect)
Passives
Secondary Explosion (replace with Anima Tipped Bullets about wave 17)
Slow Burn
Backlash
Rend Space
Extended Magazine
Reasons
Like the Bee Gees your primary concern is
Stayin Alive long enough to keep the mobs off the centre stone. In conjunction with judicious and timely Anima Allocation tweaks this should present you with decent damage and a measure of survivability.
Hammer Variant
Replace the 2 chaos skills with
Burning Wrath plus passive and
Thick Skin plus passive. Be aware that whilst both provide extra protection they also generate extra hate so make sure you have a tanky friend or are soloing where threat pulling doesn't matter.
Despite having a decent Elemental focus I find that it just doesn't have enough mobility for keeping on dealing damage as many of it's skills are static AOE rather than movement based. Flash Freeze and Crystalised Frost are good for CC but OUTSIDE the inner hagstone circle and can buy you some time to put some distance between you and them.
I'll edit this for the blood and fist variants I have too in the future.
No liability is accepted. Your mileage may vary. Please consult your local dealer. Music is to blame.
