Dungeon Build SH

[mclovin]

I need advice for dungeons. Is msh better or range? I prefer range. Can someone post a good build for dungeons? I am already rr80+ but i still need the bloodlord weapons.
I guess pets are no option in dungeons?

I can recommend to go full range and just do all the aoe pulls in squig armor anyway.

But you need to make sure you have cap Ballistic and Strength.

Generally, this is what I go for. Straight up the middle, stick in meatball mode and just AoE the crap out of everything.

If you're aiming for any sort of speed in a dungeon, then it's inevitable that you'll pull aggro at some point. This build gives you extra defences in melee mode which helps a ton. Damage output is high, and the extra mobility comes in handy at times. I rarely run with a pet because they die to aoe damage so quickly. This does make it a bit boring, but it's effective.

There's nothing to stop you exiting meatball mode if you need some range. You'll still have your main DoT and ur damage channel for decent single target output. I would normally put my remaining spec points in the right tree, pick up the auto attack tactic. That way, if there is a boss where your pet will survive, you can boost your AA output.


The alternative is to stick with a ranged build and just go meatball mode when mowing through adds. You'll still have AoE channel, normal AoE plus AoE DoT when in meatball, so you'll still have good damage. It won't be quite as high, and you wont be as tough, but it works. I've tried this a bunch of times when i've been too lazy to respec. Overall damage is definitely lower, but you'll still get the dungeon done.


Just don't go pure ranged for whole dungeon. I've tried that too and my damage numbers were pathetic. Whatever minor increase in single target damage you have for bosses not worth the crappy output in aoe situations.

Another minor point:

I normally put some renown into parry when im in meatball, because i normally run dungeons in pugs and will pull aggro. If there is a choppa or mara in the grp, they always get guarded.

However, if I run with a guildie tank who knows the sort of damage a squig can produce, then I'll get guarded. That means I don't need to worry about defences. I can then spend renown in crit or weaponskill, and instead of the defensive parry tactic, I can go for the morale tactic (strength in numbas) which basically means i can use my M3 every 60s.
