If the Skills you are using do damage (like Firestarter Chem Launcher) then use Capacitor. Pulse the entire room and instantly kill all reds and purples without firing a shot. I rarely run these types of builds, but EVERY single time I run them, I am summarily impressed with how they punish an enemy that exposes any body part, ESPECIALLY the head.

Airburst seeker is a great skill if you learn how to use it. Damage to target out of cover stacks will all your status effects. Nice. It's pretty legit, lol. Also you don't want china, you want a Golan Backpack with tech support/shock and awe, or any other golan piece if you don't have that. Mods can be skill haste, or hazard stuff if you combine eclipse with hzp. So the dot from vile is considered explosive? I have a Rock 'n Roll as primary with a g-rolled ACS-12 with Close and Personal on it in a 2/4/0 build. Oh well. I got tired to get downed by they jump in the line of sight and block the shot.

But if I dont reroll one of the cores I will have 7 skill tiers which is useless or are you suggesting I go for a different specialisation? Someday. Skill damage effects the damage the skill does, not the damage the status does. I use a drone to mop up any Elites that survived. Doesn't propagate the way status effects from Scorpio do, though. Also not stacks, so if anyone runs with Survivalist, this talent not apply. As far as skills to use, it depends on what your intention is. Status Effect (and Haste*) on everything. Recommend Demo over Technician. Longest burn duration ever. I'll give these a go tonight. I tend to fare MUCH better w/ foam + burn sticky.

My concern on this build is always going to be ammo.. Firewall as solo - sure. Pestilence tick adds additional damage and spreads.

You get incendiary grenades which work quite well with EP, and if grouped, your entire team will enjoy 10% extra damage to your burning foes. 2pc Wyvern is good. Vile is extra easy damage, since it gives you that damage whether or not your skill does damage, but its not absolutely everything. No. In fire build, Firewall better. Vile will make all the status effects you apply (including the ones that normally don't cause damage like blind or ensnare) inflict a 10 sec damage over time debuff. An interesting pairing that I wanna try is one guy running HB with Coyote while the other in close proximity to him uses Catharsis with his HB build, so one benefits the other for CHC/CHD, and the second can heal the first when the Catharsis heal pool dumps on the ground. Getting the golan gloves can be hard, and you can substitute in wyvern until you get them. Dont get tunnel visioned on Vile Damage. Run a firewall with spec for assault rifles. I go all status. You only got to change your china light piece for a golan piece( glass cannon) if you have one. If you already have your 4, or I'm a little late, please don't wait I have never attempted a Legendary before.
Banshee pulse is extremely good, it has good range and can hit through cover. Time Trials = Hunter's Fury with Chatterbox & Tsunami, 2022 Cond Nast. As final result, the team damage output will lower with Survivalist even with 10% damage boost to status effected enemies and the all NPCs burning compared to Firewall, but this true only for skills which apply burn.

Eclipse GS itself is designed to enhance damage, as well as spread effects. I've tried the EP build, and while that is hilarious, some of the enemies can be a real problem after your initial attacks.

But in my case, the continuous result is " Russian, why is the entire screen always on fire?". Still not sure what works. Surely the talent on the EP backpack is too good not to use.
Perpetuation as a talent, I dont find very useful, because the extended duration is scaled from the base tier 1 of the skill or something, so the actual extension is really small.

The +Haste from 1P Hana-U isnt bad either, since it helps your frequency of usage. Yeah, Skill Haste mods. There are also other skills which do damage and apply status, like Stinger Hive, Shrapnel Traps, etc but since their main source of damage is front-loaded in the skill damage component, they arent as ideal for an Eclipse build.

To overperform this 700k damage with Survivalist, groupmates need to deal to ALL burning enemies at least 7M damage before they die. Slow-firing, accurate AR modded for stability is a pretty good choice. I know it doesn't stack, I know the buff is for the group only, but many times buffing your group can actually be more useful than extracting the last quartile of damage on your own build.

Now yes, the vile may do more DPS, but the imperial helps start the fire and keep it going. I love the incendiary grenades and the x-bow bolts, and that little healer seeker does an acceptable job for a fast heal. Outta the loop a bit as I've been out of town the last few days, head back home tomorrow.

4 piece ep with chest piece, vile mask, and Hana u bp with creeping death. I'm trying to avoid running similar builds over missions or time trials, so I'm letting Grom have fun with HB while Needle has fun with EP and a Bluescreen LMG. this may be an old post but the builds still good but i do suggest swapping the Knees to Eclipse and the gloves to Firm Handshake, you get an extra 5% Status Effects and 10%smg on top of it, the you can use a smg with in sync/future perfect along with the capacitor.
