This fella was beggin for a meme build, and it operates on an easy 3 step method for engagements:
- Pull
- Lift
- Push
This is a fire strike build and honestly I’m not too impressed by FS overall. It’s just ok, it gets stuff done I guess. Commando fit well thematically but also I thought the damage conversions on Huge Wood and the skill bonuses lent themselves to this. I bet that a build focused primarily on the internal trauma DOT will be able to leverage this item to it’s fullest girth.

Leveling is pretty easy, playing is pretty easy. Spam warcry and hit things. Reflection is an issue, just try not to hit a reflect mob and if you do, the DOT isn’t too scary cuz you’re not playing into it but if you don’t find mobs to hit and lifesteal from you will most likely die. It’s whatever, throw up a TP if you notice your health ticking down and the DOT has 12 secs remaining.
For items, I found a good Shambler’s Heart that I stuck with over my theorized Righteous Flame which would have hardcapped FS, but the Heart simply gave better stats. The Fleshwarped Casque was a drop from another character that I kept, but you could try out doing Warborn helm and armour. I liked Targo because of the resists it provided. Markovian’s Advantage you can hardcap with just +skills from these items, the Fabius shoulders in particular are quite good. It’ll net you a 290% wpn dmg WPS that DA shreds alongside Bonk’s 350% wpn dmg. Before I found Markovian’s Stratagem medal, I was using Korvaak’s for the FS 15% wpn dmg and 8% lifesteal which is pretty good. I was also looking for Break Morale +skills which gets it up to -42 phys res, and of course we need the Hulking Legguards for the space they provide.
Possible to take on Mog, Rav, and Calla. Obviously Crate is an ass. I don’t see why it couldn’t do Nerf, but I don’t want to go through the quest atm. I think his damage would be enough. Wog is a challenge, I’m not too keen on that fight as there’s a lot of things going on, so I’ll say no at this point.
Ultimately, I think Huge Wood can be better but I don’t think it will be with FS. Bonk is pretty good and with a trauma build I think it will do better instead of just being supplementary damage.
