Outriders – Back to the Dev! My old friend…

I changed Life Absorption mod to Circle of Power by the way if you see this build from my previous videos. As I’ve said recently, resistance is key for a truly invincible tank build because it protects it from the highest damaging attacks like anomaly rifts and lightning storms and in positive World skater bosses will be far more in the anomaly damaging area.

Anyway with all my healing I never needed life absorption and grav leap still heals me some regardless off the skill leech. Now this guy pretty much always has 75% resistance plus the Resist the Mob skill node makes that really 80% minimum at all times and easily over 100% if crowds are near me.

I’ve often wondered though how I will tweak this build if, for instance, the expansion removes the weapon leech healing from damage over time mods like death chains. Honestly all my other tank builds you’ve seen would probably be fine because their weapon leech healing is merely a BONUS whereas their true primary means of healing is from either the skill leech for my pyro and techno or the shield regen for my tricksters.

But the truth is it’s just a bonus on this build too just a slightly bigger one. With golem up I’m fine regardless. The healing from tremor and grav leap alone is sufficient during golem.

As for what I’ll do for when I’m not in golem mode, though, I think I plan to spec my pax tree in the bottom instead and pick up more bleed skill leech healing and especially earthen shield so I get constant shield regen, instead. Also I’ll probably slap fortress on my primary over sandstorm too. I’ll still keep the weapon leech for just a little more gun healing off my statue bonus helping it but then I’ll get a good amount more resistance again and a damage buff from fortress to moaning winds and grav leap.

Now I doubt that’s something they’re changing though. And if they ever do they may just change it to heal you off skill leech, instead, rather than removing it entirely.
