Okay so I’ve been playing around with this for a bit and have put together a build with a good level of survivability and damage output. It’s pretty good on grounded bosses that give a lot of space to build speed.
it looks like it works with Spark Plug artifacts as well. I’ve been cycling through a bunch of different things to see how much damage I can get without shooting xD.
Unleash the dragon would probably be better because once you set the dot, you can run around.
What I do is grasp (TTB), punch the grasped enemy, run around. Most trash die pretty quickly to that and the only time I have an issue is when something can’t get the dot.
As for your build, I run almost the same thing with a couple of exceptions. I don’t use jab cross and I max out clarity. I also take dread on the red tree. I should note that I am using the Buttplug and I haven’t quite figured out the hidden multiplier and how it works with unleash the dragon, but I am consistently getting dots of 55k/second. Melee Build
For boss farming though, I do switch to a white elephant and pull out all my +300% phaseslam facepuncher.
One last thing I noticed, using revelation instead of allure sometimes was able to apply a pretty good dot on it’s own, so if you are looking for a bit more damage, try it out.
I have the COM and am working on the Dragon artifact. I’ve never been one for melee though. I enjoy the amara phasegrasping aspect more than anything. So hopefully it works how I think it will. I cant give up my Maggie just yet for a buttplug lol
So keep the COM, I have a few white elephant artifacts and one or two face punchers. Skip out on the dragon artifact? I like that idea because I’ve farmed el dragon all day and not a damn thing. 2 cutsman, Maggie, face puncher. Sounds fun!
The clip with the 2 Million damage on Captain Haunt was from a melee with White Elephant. For some reason he is or was immune to fire dots. So I used that and it worked out really well.
I’m just so new to amara it’s crazy. I played maya all through 2, and then some mordecai. But I went moze in this one because amara was shown as being more melee, and I generally hate melee. But I made her sheriff build, and enjoy it a lot. Just with this new com and being so strong and fast, I may have to change
hope not, my old terror melee build got slaughtered in maliwan takedown, if i am spec into damage - i am missing the survivability, if i am spec to survivability - i am missing the damage. this class mod might solve it for me.
