OUTRIDERS Devastator Tank Build with High DPS

Since the demo I have been theorycrafting builds for myself – here is one for Warden. I believe it will be unkillable at level 30.

PROS:
– very high health regen
– high armor constant 50-75 physical damage reduction without Golem skill.
– high Resistances while killing groups of mobs.
– 2 free class points
– high dps with right mods (section Mods)
– great mix of survi and damage
– can reach 150-250% extra weapon damage easily below level 20

CONS:
– slow start till Anomaly in the Veins third skill
– only 1 free skill slot to mtach your style
– constantly in the face of enemies due to close range bonuses
– not the highest armor for a warden
– depending on your build can lack party bonuses
BUILD

Milestones reached at 5,8, 11, 16 and 18 class points. Two points are free although I recommend:

for shotgun path

for assault and close range damage.

For even more heal and survi.

2. High damage weapon – for me these are shotguns – standard pump action or narrow automatic.

This is a must. It grants increasing flat weapon damage buff according to your health regen – for me it is 30% weapon damage increase and 70-80% total flat weapon damage increase after Tremor health regen effect. There is a sweetspot for regen and additional damage, but for now I cant figure it out. The value somehow decreases after certain threshold of healing per second, I thought it would be constantly increasing – overall it is still a solid damage boost.

Second mod is your choice – for bosses I prefer on hit effect for mobs increased armor or firepower after aimed kill.

Gravity Leap variant – accessible at level 7. Good early game especially for single target damage, mostly overheals you. IMHO tremor variant is better. Great mobility skill.

Increase in damage means greater synergy with Life Absorption.

Tremor variant – has muuuuch more synergy with CYCLE weapon mod(next section). Damage is dealt over time such as heal. This skill setup lacks mobility skill.
