VI: Speedy Kits
IX: Scope

A glass cannon build ...with a lot of tools to get away from things/keep them off you. Stacks long-lasting and ...dangerous conditions; crits often...for good damage. Grenades for ranged AoE and trigger your traits, [debuff] enemy and kite. Rifle + [Fx] skills for mobility & control. Bomb Kit in narrow spaces or when you can't kite; also good for running away. Abuse Speedy Kits for mobility.

Build doesn't work against worst mobs: they don't care about blind, resist vulnerability and knock back, and hit too hard for this build to recover/defend. TEF notes: it has some great self- and group-combos.

Weapons: Rifle is ...weak against ranged foes (blunderbuss, Overcharged Shot, and Jump Shot). Pistol/shield ...[is] much better at anti-ranged.

Vili doesn't like the enginner elites, so suggests considering a racial elite instead.

20 Defense

IX: Shield Master
20 Tactics
I: Leg Specialist
VIII: Lung Capacity

Cause long-lasting, damaging bleeds, constant fury on every weapon set, has passive regeneration that's not regeneration boon to enhance moderately good survivability, crits often, two AoE "fuck off" buttons, effective against champs with unshakable (Throw Bolas is more reliable than fear or launch, though, so might consider swapping)

Mending is a good alternative healing skill if more condition removal is needed

No tactics until L40 (for Opportunist):
  • < L40: 10 arms, 10 defense, 10 anything
  • L40: 20 arms, 20 defense, 10 tactics
  • L60: 30 arms, 10 defense, 10 tactics
