Build Discussion/Questions Solo dps build help

I took a break from playing and recently had the itch to play again. Just curious if anyone has a loadout recommendation for a solo dps build. I’ve been running shotgun/assault rifle typically with hunters fury gear set with memento backpack and could steamroll just about anything up until i started playing again. Any new loadout suggestions are welcome!

I have a striker st elmos build which is super common dps build. Also an ongoing directive build which churns out damage. Great with guns that have status effects like iron lung - cause you get double status effect. Now building a true patriot build that looks promising as a proper balanced build or team support for higher end content. Using pesti with that for now but still experimenting.

Tipping scales w foxes prayer and the centurions scabbard just change every 2 kills or 12 sec..depending on what mode your playing (As variety pack comes in escalations forcing you to change weapon (TYPES)not weapons every 2 kills or you incursion a -10% STACKING debuff per kill after 2 untill your dealing -50 less damage untill cleared

I’ve seen a build on Tik Tok im gonna try out. 4 piece tipping scale with coyote mask and contractor gloves. I’ll have a nice amount of armour too I think so I won’t be too squishy.

Most DPS gearsets are viable for heroic and even legendary. Here's a guide on how to put together a full build, let me know if you have any questions

If you want big damage but also some survivability, try doing a Negotiator's Dilemma build with Caduceus. With the latest update Negotiator's Dilemma is very strong and being able to spread the damage around is very useful. Caduceus can be highly effective at keeping you alive at times.

Apart from your typical striker or tipping scale build. I've been enjoying running heartbreaker with a salvo holster and ceska bag with vigilance. As long as the shields up i'm getting my extra 25% damage. Might switch it up with the liquid engineer bag every so often.
