Someone just suggested swapping Goal Beyond Understanding for Spectral Spike. Sounds like a good option for predictable damage. Worth trying out with this build.
I’ll definitely try it out in the lab!! Thanx for the info!! Also I was using the Damascus offering a lot at first until I found an LMG called Mythos.. it’s tier 3 skill Omen is very powerful and I added Mages Rage to it for more Anomaly Power bonus! Cheers!
I appreciate your trickster videos. Had a survivability issue until I saw you first one. Now I have a great build I've tweak a few things but I get the damage and can solo things because of you videos
Great video. Ive been maining sheildbeast and i prefer the more meta damage build, i just swap a chest piece with medication if im solo and go full glass cannon if others join. But love the video, the to the point info and style as always.
Wow, nice! This seems a lot of fun! I ran similar to the other build you mentioned, but they were rather squishy indeed. I don't min not killing the arbiters in seconds, after all most of the time is spent getting to the arbiter anyways (unless you cheese it, and if you do why even bother playing the game if all you do is kill the same 1 boss over and over xD).
Ha. Indeed. I found the same. My shield was going down all the time. With this build, that very rarely happens. 🙂 If you can hit crits on the Arbiters they go down from the dimensional rockets fairly quickly. Took me a couple of minutes which is fine. Cheers
So I built this build, but I didn’t like how it fights bosses. If you haven’t killed anything, because only the boss is left, then your rounds are down forever. However, if you switch out your Time Rift for the bubble, now you have a way to instantly reload practically on demand. This means your two mods used to keep rounds up can be used for anything else. Also, on the Pax Tree, check out the Spectral Spike node. It has a 100% chance of doing even more anomaly damage as long as you are hitting the same target. This means that if you’re just down to the boss, keep firing him with anomaly rounds and using your bubble as required. Your rounds will never drop and that one node may end up doing more damage than anything else.
Switching out of Time Rift loses all AoE so I’m not keen on that. The downtime of Twisted Rounds is 17 seconds with cd reduction in gear. Which I find manageable given I am running 100 rounds in a mag with 2 mags of TR. But each to his own. Spectral spike does look like a good option for more predictable damage. Cheers
I run a closely similar build with my trickster. I've found that with with bodycount, you rarely need double mags on twisted rounds to get the cooldown, so you can swap that out for something better if you like. Especially using Damascus offering and it's high mag count. Also, Cut them Deep only applies the 30% bonus damage for the first damage received, since the mark is removed on first hit, so not really optimal for bullet focused builds. Consider maybe switching it out for something better.
This is the same exact build I am using only thing I am using is self medication like u said it gets a little squishy... VK is good for mob trash as well...
Self medication works so well with shield builds. Great option. Try Spectral Spike instead of Goals Beyond Understanding from the PAX skill tree as well. 15% of AP damage with every Twisted Rounds shot. More predictable than GBU so might be a really good option. Cheers
@@NYLCasualGaming my pax tree I'm using the bottom part with the points going through the middle.. great build tho my friend... Zoe u feel about the dev?
@@NYLCasualGaming u mentioned to someone about the dimensional rockets I tried that on the boss and rarely worked for me... Is there anyway to get in touch with you besides here?
I’m not that keen on Perpetuum Trickery, the end of the middle of the bottom tree. Short up time on the damage buff and very dependent on crits for AP buff.
You have to hit crits for the rockets to proc. There is an internal cd on them for the animation to complete. They also work better on large elites. Just seem to home in better.
As long as you can hit crits. I’m thinking the best way is to have a secondary weapon with Mage’s Rage, Anomaly Enhancement, and Dimensional Rockets for the arbiter fights. A tactical AR.
@@kusanagi1394 The burst damage of a tactical AR is very high - it has 164% critical damage modifier - the large critical hit box of the arbiters makes them a good weapon for it.
This is not bad but gotta stick with the other build. Even if a few steps are missed you still output far more damage than this build and for me survivability has not been an issue
Sounds good. Will also depend if you play in groups or not. Definitely go for the more damage version if in a group as damage taken will be so much less.
Yeah I'm done with outriders it's incredibly difficult just to get apocalypse gear and the resources for the gear, it's extremely unrewarding to grind so hard at a game that I love and to get nothing out of it
Thanks, you've reinvented the game once again. Much appreciated!
I made the exact same class adjustments from your first build and still wrecks!! Best trickster build and it’s not fully optimized yet!

That’s the great RNG isn’t it. I’ve had one bad Mythos drop and that’s it. When I get a better one I will try it out.

That’s great to hear! Tricksters can be tough so I’m glad the builds are working out.
Thank you! I'm bad at Trickster and really need this!
Hope it works for you.
Your skill tree is exactly the same as the one I put together for shieldbeast...I'm so proud of myself lmao
Great minds think alike.

Thanks Paul. Glad you like the style. Self medication is an overpowered mod.
Your shieldbeast build is simple. I'm going to try it. The other ones I've seen have too many steps and are a bit complicated for me.
I found them to be a little too squishy at times as well so I think this is a good option. Cheers

Just got back from vacation so will play around with the build a bit more for version 2.0. Thanks for the input.
With the update im feeling quite a bit squishy. Can't wait for a new updated build that goes with the buffs/nerfs.
Sorry, been a little quite on content recently. Trying to spend some time with the family. 🙂 Going to get back into it, including updates soon.
I love the build idee
Glad you liked it!

Hi 👋
Would this work better with spectral spike pax node ? Thank you
It is certainly an option and is more predictable. Good call.
@@NYLCasualGaming you need to try mod “and another one” makes 7 seconds of infinite bullets on boss, works much better than instant reload.
Lmao farpyre, thanks for anther build Casual, im a Lil over farming on my tecno so it's good to have another class to start looking for gear for
My pleasure. 🙂
You would get more damage if you paired Mage's Rage with Anom Enhancement, it's too good to pass up IMO.

Agreed. There is so much grind in the game which hides the lack of real content.
@@NYLCasualGaming thank you for your videos by the way. They helped me out allot with outriders
My pleasure. I’m going to keep covering the game but not as much as before I think. Waiting for Darktide to come out in September.
