Stats

• You can use less crit to avoid overcapping on Evolve, but the uptime is low
• Feel free to use as much Berserker's gear as you can without dying
  • Swap out Dragon gear first
• The given setup aims for maximum Effective Health
  • You can swap Marauder's to Demolisher's to make healing more efficient in exchange for increasing your chance to be spiked from 100%

Sigil

• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Stamina for activating Explosive Entrance

Consumables

• feast option with additional power and ferocity.

Usage

General

• As soon as you get the 25 stacks of Sigil of Superior Sigil of Bloodlust and get out of combat, swap back to the Rifle without it
