ah, nice to hear that elemental beacon works like that with beacon, hmm im prolly gonna use build like that, since running is more "survive" styleish than standing and spamming rapidfire
hmm, so maybe 1 point into hollow point and rest to phasing grenade?

well, not sure which I would suggest. But one thing, it may take some time to be lvl 50 hce, so you should have time to experiment lol. Personally, I am finding that phase grenades, with the 1 sec delay, may not be as helpful as anticipated. But I will decide what to do as I get up in levels. Plus, I am a sub, so I will get a respec token, so I may just test out the phase grenades

@ RapidClick: I have no "real troubles" killing bosses yet. Sure, I will never mow them down as quickly as the cookie cutter build, but that is not my agenda either. I have a blast playing with this char. And reco/reflect kick in so much things die quickly anyway. And you are right about ele beacon. It depends on your dmg type you will be using.

I will suggest getting an archlight fusion rifle and use that. It works wonders, drops at level 6 or so, and can take you well past aba (by upgrading it ofc).

im scriber too

also can nomal shulgoth drop that archlight rifle?

i think you're going to struggle to rely on the grenades tbh, IMO - my mm kinda works in similar ways to what you're looking for, i use a wep with phase dmg and i've put a phase str mod in as (i hope but i'm estimating) this increases the amount of time a enemy is phased which = dmg + they do less. couple this with high % chance of crit and maxed passives = ownage especially in groups.

for real hard bosses you could even try a voodoo rifle sacked with phase bonuses, one shot to phase them, switch back to reg guns, multi and see what happens.

yea. I used a simple green one that had 4 mos slots and augmented it up until I found the veteran (bad ass but all phys dmg). At 400 shots a min and direct fire dmg, hard to beat really.

And I agree with Rapid about the grenades. But go ahead and add 1 and test it. It takes a bit to get used to aiming it. I don't think I will add more than 1 though, even though I had planned on all my extra points into it

Nope. First vendor to sell these is in Oxford, and first drops around charring cross station zones.

U can always ask nicely for a hunter to buy ya one from Oxford =). Starts real low lvl too, a white one requires Clvl 6.

lol, I gotta stop posting at work. I never meant to say they dropped at shug
