This (HC) SSF Tactician Mercenary leveling build guide will allow you to complete the campaign safely and quickly, while melting bosses and transition easily into the endgame.
What this guide will teach you:
When and how to craft the best weapons that will carry you through the game.
All the information about skills, how to use them, and what the best Passive Tree choices are to enhance your build.
Important gear suggestions to help you stay alive.
How to easily progress your character through the early endgame into T15 maps and Pinnacle Bosses.
BUILD OVERVIEW
This build utilizes Pin from the Tactician Mercenary ascendancy to hold enemies in place, and stop them from attacking. This is achieved through the “Right Where We Want Them” ascendancy node. This notable is incredibly powerful, and also enables you to inflict Pin buildup with any projectile attack.
While your enemies are stuck in place, blow them to pieces with an arsenal of different grenades. This build has insane AoE clearing damage as well as extremely solid single target damage.
Defensive wise, the Tactician's Pin is the best form of croud-control in the game. On top of that we will be taking advantage of Armour and its application to Elemental Damage, Evasion, Deflect and Runic Ward to stay alive.
SKILLS & ROTATION
Use a combination of Explosive Grenade, Flash Grenade, Gas Grenade, Oil Grenade and Cluster Grenade to build Pin on enemies and blow them to smitherines.
Use Explosive Shot to detonate your Explosive Grenade immediately when you don't want to wait for them to blow up.
While clearing, your general skill rotation is to rotate between Gas Grenade, Oil Grenade, Flash Grenade and Explosive Grenade to deal damage - while using Cluster Grenade for areas with high monster density. This synergizes perfectly with the Demolitionist notable on the Passive Tree, adding alot of extra fire damage.
Early on, we utilize Frost Bomb to apply Elemental Exposure, before replacing this with Oil Grenade in Act 3.
For mobility, we use Pounce with a Talisman on Weapon Swap 2 to dractiscally increase movement speed, while also allowing us to jump across difficult terrain.
DEFENSIVE & SPIRIT SKILLS
For Spirit Skills, we use a combination of Attrition for increased Single Target / Boss DPS and Scavenged Plating to improve your Armour Rating. This build constantly breaks armour due to the Eroding Chains Passive Tree Notable, which allows you to break 50% armour when you pin an enemy. Which you will be doing ALOT OF. This also synergizes really well with The Molten One's Gift, which increases the Armour Break debuff to 35%, and has this debuff apply to increased Fire damage taken as well.
IMPORTANT - ENDGAME INFO
The endgame portion of the build will be interated and changed quite frequently as my character progresses through the new endgame, and incorporates new 0.5 related tech, items and passive tree changes. I'll be testing the Trarthan Cannon (grenade only) weapon base, along with many other things. With this build being primarily for SSF, I need to thoroughly play the game and understand this progression properly before I feel comfortable sharing it. This will help me bring you the best build and guide possible. So stay tuned for frequent updates, I apprecaite the patience.
