Outriders – Trickster Tank Damage Taken: 0. No Legendaries Required!(For armor or primary at least)



So I made one more tweak in my skill tree. I took away Long Odds. I realized this really doesn’t help me almost at all. Thanks to damage absorber and armor of eons mods, my armor is over 200k ALWAYS which equals over 80% physical damage mitigation.

Now the absolute max to that is 85% not way better obviously but not a tiny amount either. BUT Long Odds only increases it per enemy in my close range by 15% which with 1 enemy would make it about 81.5% mitigation when that armor is applied.

That would not make virtually any noticeable difference and the only way I could get 85% mitigation is with at least 5 enemies in my close range. Remember my close range can’t be expanded like the devastator’s. Yes 5 in my cr does happen but not as often as you may think when you pay attention and consider the whole expedition rather than just key moments in a fight that takes place…and even when that happens that’s what only 5% less PHYSICAL damage not even from all damage?

So I swapped that for another 15% resistance in my skill tree. Now I got 40% resistance at all times which is very high. I think that solid decrease to all anomaly and status damage (for status think Moloch’s burns lol) without any strings attached is much better than Long Odds when I already have almost max armor at all times.

I think this is a well balanced tank now. It’s got great BASE armor and health and resistance. It’s got shield regeneration for days with its shield bolstered by its health. It’s got great skill leech for its health whenever breached too. Venator’s knife with the damage mod is what allows it to heal back to full from a group with those skill leech buffs. Finally it’s got its weapon leech side arm with sandstorm and death chains for good reason…because damage over time mods heal you based off weapon leech meaning my pistols can heal me quickly to full too just shooting one person. So whenever mobs aren’t available and somehow my health is breached, while my shield continues to regenerate over it I can still swap to my sidearm and quickly get my health back via another means.

Put all that together and this trickster is an invincible tank in absolutely ANY situation or expedition.
