A little update on my meme sword build. As of my last post, i was already in 3 digit territory using a shitty electro machete from junkyard. So i cheesed a little the iron head outpost so i could kill MacLander for his Claymore, which was one of the objetives of the build. The sword is pretty good, have some nice damage to it, but that's not all. Good critical bonus, 180%, so critical power really shines with it. And it gives you it's own sweep ability, just like spears build have. You go to the crowd of enemies, sweep, and flurry away. I have hit n run and fancy footwork, so i can kill badies and retreat out of their LOS.
Parabalus, you asked about the damage in comparing to high dex builds, my flurries are dealing around ~700 damage on a crit. Few things survive a claymore flurry. While the non crit hit does not deal much damage, when it crits it's around ~200. Not too shabby. Also, the claymore also has a chance to daze and even stun opponents, adding to the stun chance i already have on cheap shots. When i got the claymore, i just went ahead and killed Balor and all his gang. I'm at lvl 16 now, hit chance got better but it's still a little problematic with some enemies. Sweep helps, and there's nets, tasers and flashbangs just in case. Too bad styg made impossible to cheese Aran's gear with toxic grenades before the end of expedition. Having to finish the expansion just to get his gear sucks.
