Dont use Rocketboots, you don’t want to knockback yourself and the toolbelt skill is also not very good as you only have 300 condition dmg.
Better use the Battering Ram instead!
> 2 Knockbacks (Rifle, Ram) are OP as hell and you can easily land your Jump Shot when enemy is laying on the ground.
Plus, the toolbelt skill gives a nice cripple and does a LOT of direct dmg even without Static discharge!
I’m no fan of Ogre runes as you don’t want to get hit much so. Better use Eagle or Divinity Runes. I prefer Eagle rune for add. 5% dmg when target is below 50% – which is after the first burst.
Furthermore I don’t think you need 2 Swiftness from III Trait in Firearms AND perma-swiftning from VI Trait in Tools. Its smart to use your medkits anyway while your toolbelt skills recharge and you can heal yourself up.
The Fire Sigil is far superior to Air Sigil and Earth (you don’t have condition dmg!) so better use this one.
Fire does a little less single Target Damage than Air Sigil, but it’s AOE and Air is not.
You can try yourself at the big Group of Golems in Heart of the Mist with a violet/steady weapon.
The only thing that is discussable is Trait X in Firearms. Personally I think its very good to have a 5 Sec blind every 10 secs but you can also switch back to +10% dmg on rifle.
Hope I could help you :-)
