User:Izrius/Phasewalk Melee Murderess

Equipment:
For weapons you should use elemental weapons with a high rate of fire, like SMGs and combat rifles as well as a shotgun for some close quarters escaping and a bladed pistol to increase your melee. Weapons with a high elemental chance are better but with your Spark skill maxed out they are not essential. Your going to want a Plaguebearer class mod with the best Venom skill boost you can find (+4 max), and an elemental MIRV grenade mod, corrosive is best. I recommend an Incendiary Artifact so that you are doing multiple types of damage all at once (shock from Radiance and corrosive from Venom). For a shield you should get the strongest one possible as you will be popping up right in the middle of your enemies often.

Strategy:
Best used in co-op games with at least one support based unit for you to retreat behind. This build is designed for hit-and-run tactics, the Phase Strike skill gives an additional 640% to your melee attacks in Phasewalk, with the Hit And Run and Venom skills already boosting your melee, your damage will be epic in proportions. For example: if your melee without any skills does 50 damage it will do about 454 damage in Phasewalk, on top of that the Venom skill also makes the damage corrosive and adds a chance to do damage over time if your enemy survives. While in Phasewalk you will be doing shock damage to enemies in a small area around you and will do fire damage when coming out of it. Once you attack, retreat back behind your support units and shoot your enemies until Phasewalk has recharged, which shouldn't take long once you get your Hard To Get skill maxed. Repeat until all your enemies are dead. Silent Resolve gives 70% damage resistance at level 5 and Diva increases your shields by 25% making it easier to get back to your friends alive, and the Inner Glow skill heals you while in Phasewalk. Although this build is almost useless in single player as you will be the sole target and have very little long range ability, it works very well in co-op games, especially for quickly wearing down boss's and stronger enemies.
