“Necros are in a good spot”…. let the kitten sacrifice commence.
What build are you using for Verdant Brink?
I use celestial full built, with defender runes.
Heal Gyro, Nades, Shredder, Elixir Gun, Mortar
Traits:
Explosives Top Top Top
Inventions Mid Bot Top
Scrapper Bot Mid Top
The healing fields and the whirls are awesome.
I’m using this. You are very mobile, can give superspeed/switfness to NPCs and the damage output is also quiet nice, while also having a good amount of defensive stats. Healing Turret would probably be better but I like how the toolbelt skill of the Medic Gyro works with hammer 3.
elite specs ruined pvp.

My gear is crap, but I rarely go down… Hp is like 20k. Usually running around with 20-22 stacks of might without proper runes or gear.
As long as you can dodge and kite, then you can solo almost anything (just watch out for Retaliation w/ FT)… Perma vigor, perma stability in combat helps.
Walking backwards and having the melee mobs run into your mines (Bunker Down trait) is also great damage.
Granted, my crappy build is better in old world content, as the new stuff is over-tuned for solo play.
PS. Scrapper doesn’t really add anything to my build without taking away a lot more.

My old solo PvE build, it works pretty well. I tried Scrapper, but I miss the Rifle. When wielding the Hammer I don’t have a fast traveling ranged weapon for tagging. Nades kit range is too short, Mortar too slow.
Meaby I am crazy but i run full sinister pistol/pistol. (Explosive, firearms, tools). First time i trying my love, power granade build(you know, acid bomb, jump shot, 100nades..) but hostiles at new locations are tough, and have betrer dmg. I change strategy and counting on rally.
My strategy: jump into mass numbered enemy group, use smoke bomb, fire and conclusive, pistol 3,4,mortar 4,,3,2,swap granades , flash, sharpnel… rally, fire bomb, pistol 4..rally… at this time is almost every mobs dead.
I really want try tanky scrapper. But i not have rdy eq. Then i want try sinister scrapper. Some synergies are really usefull (like protection after heal skill , and add tougness). 1 slot i change for some def gyro (condi remove or bulwark)
Btw: hammer skills looks good… but for ME is tottaly useless. I like swaping kits and have brutal versatility for every situation. For me, elite give me skills, that I can use at centrain situations…i dont image run with 5 gyros 0.o

So.. I start play scrapper. "

I’m running a pretty heavy CC build, I find getting the breakbars down whenever possible is great for those champion fights, especially if you’re running solo or small group. Damage output perhaps a little lower than other builds due to less might stacking and fury, but the sustain is fantastic.
CCs:
* Hard : Blast Gyro, Slick shoes (lots!), thunderclap, healing turret destruct, lightning field combo (whirl/leap)
* Soft : Freeze grenede, Endothermic Shell, Chill field combos (whirl/projective)
