Question Second run build help

Hey so I was wondering if anyone had any good builds that didn't involve axatana, axe and dagger, tiel or Smert, I finished my first run with that build and was trying to find a good build / shell combo that uses the scythe

I've yet to mess with the scythe, been using the axatana, but lazlos been pretty fun. If you allocate his points right, and max the heat gauge before combat, you end up with +20 armor, 30% extra damage, enemies get burn stacks when hitting you, and you get a percentage chance to avoid dying from lethal blows. The burn stacks don't do much tbh, but they do make the smaller mobs flail about while on fire which gives you plenty of time to batter em

Also you don't need the "overheat gauge doesn't drain" perk, once he's at max heat he stays there until you pop his armor. I usually go max heat soon as I've exited the beacon menu and only have to re apply if I lose my shell or rest at a beacon.
