The Newest Update Gave to Me My Favorite Combination

Fade Away + Guerrillas in the Mist and Not My Circus + 6/3 Head Count with R4kk P4k + Megavore + Brainstormer + ASE Anointments.

So what does this all equal? Well, with the introduction of the R4kk P4k class mod, we can finally put extra points into Head Count. Though the legendary effect is nice for Rakk Attack builds, having 6/3 in Head Count allows us to abuse a different action skill: Fade Away.

Guerrillas in the Mist gives us 5 seconds (7.25 with Persistence Hunter) of invisibility and pseudo critical hits. Upon exiting Fade Away, not only will your ASE anointments proc, but so will the effects of Not My Circus. This means that during your action skill downtime, your pet will be taunting nearby enemies for 10 seconds. This is easily enough time to get your action skill back, assuming there is a group of enemies in front of you and a magazine loaded into your Brainstormer. Each pellet and arc of lightning emitting from your weapon, chaining to enemies, can all crit with Megavore, and will crit very, very often. And Head Count being at a 60% chance to proc means you will slash two seconds off your cooldown timer very, very often.

It’s actually possible to reset your cooldown after exiting Fade Away so quickly that your ASE anointments can have a 100% uptime, and have it to where there are only two scenarios to which you’d find yourself in: being invisible, or being visible with your pet taunting everything.

Future Testing Plan: to find out if each pellet and each arc of lighting from the Brainstormer adds damage if using the “Consecutive Hits Increase Damage by 1%” anointment.

Last I checked this kind of build honestly existed before this class mod. You would just use a purple one. Also by doing the classmod for this your def missing out on that juicy rakk dmg.
