I’m not sure I’m doing the damage I should be. I’m mostly basing that off of farming Slaughtershaft though. Sometimes it’s a pain to kill enemies and I have trouble staying alive.
I don’t really use 250% or 300% annointments while mobbing, don’t think they’re totally necessary from the damage I hear this build can do.
Right now my load out is
Reduntant Brainstormer with 75% damage and chance annointment
Fire/ or Lightning Cutsmen with 100% damage on ASE
Corrosive Cutsment with 100% damage on ASE
Dastardly Maggie with 125% damage on ASE, been looking for something else to use here, this one in particular doesn’t seem to do the damage I would hope for.
I also use Transformer with 50% radiation damage on ASE, and Recurring Hex with 50% corrosive damage on ASE, and action skill is using lightning element atm.
You may already be aware, but the COM was nerfed/fixed to match the description this week so it didn’t apply to anything other than gun damage. Also, mindfulness was nerfed at the same time, which had the effect of lowering the potential damage output.
My gear for spiritual driver isn’t as good as my phaseslam gear, so take my opinion on spiritual driver set ups with a grain of salt, but maybe give fire or corrosive a try for your action skill element in slaughter shaft, for anointed and badasses respectively. If you’re playing solo, you may even want to change it up mid battle. Also, picking up Arms Deal for those rocket launchers in SS is definitely worth it since you have points in Brawl anyway. Finally, fake casting may be a bit cheesy, but if you don’t do it, you’ll probably want a Sellout to keep the dots on you.
Yeah, I should probably try another element on action skill, specially fire since there is a lot of flesh enemies here. Fire Cutsmen would probably do work. Anyone know of another good fire weapon I should look for?
I am using a Night Hawkin a little bit, when it’s night it works great, but when it’s not night it’s kind of meh.
It’s armour on M4 sshaft that can be a problem. Shock rec hex, acid as action element fire and kinetic guns OR whatever floats your boat.

I would absolutely use an Elemental Projector artifact to get additional damage. Enhance your corrosion that way and armor isn’t a problem anymore. Though I personally use fire as my action skill element to get rid of the Anointed.
I second using an Elemental Projector artifact. I’d also recommend that you try out a Projectile Recursion gun if you haven’t already. I just did a M4 Slaughtershaft run since I hadn’t tried it since the nerf and it still blows up everything pretty easily. The key is lining up your shots with groups of mobs and letting the ricochets do all the work. Even post nerf I can sometimes 1-shot the full shield/armor badass tink turrets.
I don’t even have amazing gear. None of my guns have relevant annointments. My main gun is a shock/fire PR, that I almost never switch off shock. For my single target guns I use Laser Sploders with shock/corrosive/fire. I use a grenade with ASE 50% shock. I use a Flash Charge Re-Charger shield since it has the ASE 50% cryo annointment. Whenever survivability becomes a problem I swap to a Transformer, but that limits my mindfulness stacks since it doesn’t have the ASE damage and I use shock as my action skill element. For the most part I don’t have to switch, I just try to pay attention to the timing of the shield break cooldown and my Guardian Angel cooldown.
I mostly stick with shock weapons since I use that as my action skill element. My Elemental Projector also has +16% shock damage, so as long as I keep shock applied to myself, using shock should beat swapping to fire or corrosion, unless I was also going to swap elements.
If you have any questions about my build, gear, or play style let me know.
