For a game where you might have to fight DH regularly, then unblockable gunflame power build is very effective. Typically condis are pretty ineffective vs DH and Scrapper as they have good condi clear and without taking high spike damage they also have good sustain.
Of the two, I find DH to be more of a challenge than Scrapper (I assume that’s what you’re talking about, rather than base guard and engi).
I typically run melee, which would have me (ideally) running gs/a+sh along with Might Signet. The trick there is setting them up for a big bursts while Unblockable, and ideally with Resistance up so no blinds or snares to interfere with the bursts. Stability’s not a bad idea either. DH especially doesn’t have a large health pool, so you can sometimes down them with a big enough burst rotation.
That said, you’re pretty boned if you can’t surprise the DH enough to down him and he’s got a longbow and traps, because a lot of your stuff will be on cooldown. That’s where a ranged weapon comes in handy.
I find ranged weapons close to useless against a hammer scrapper, whereas I’ve had moderate success using a power bow or rifle against a DH, but it depends on the DH and build.

From my experience DH are easy to kill, i went from a 90% loss ratio against them to a 65% win ratio. As far as scrapper are concerned, you shouldn’t lose against one. Since the season started , i have yet to lose against a scrapper in 1 vs 1. Killing one is another story, but you should be able to drag the fight.
And i use power warrior btw…

Think he ment this build
That is one YOLO build! I’ve been running full zerk for years, but I don’t think I’d be willing to take that beast out roaming. I might bring it out in a larger fight though, and certainly in a duel.

I’ve been running this melee build for a while actually, it’s pretty fun, especially vs revs and guards. (Nothing like a rev finding out their shield 5 autoproc does nothing. XD)
Sometimes I play different variations with a rifle or with discipline instead of arms, different rune or ammy, etc. But in general, power warrior does well vs guard and scrapper.
