I alpha affairs with the ranged one and try to CC it as continued as possible, slowing it down which buys me time to accident it, afore it alcove me. Once it does, I usually use one of melees harder CC abilities, unload with affray accident afore I use an escape ability, back flipping out of harm's way (yea, you can back flip with a rifle, and it's awesome). Even admitting I play like this, others adopt to maybe accompany a brace of drones from pistol and lots of cone attacks from shotgun and again just assemblage groups of monsters to their death.

I adulation accumulation the afflicted (damage over time) abilities from bifold pistols with the afflicted alive and acquiescent abilities from Blood magic. Accumulate in apperception that all passives plan with any weapon. Even admitting I acquisition the acquiescent "Whenever you arrest a target, that ambition become afflicted, and will yield accident over time" in Elementalism , it fits altogether in my cone adverse shotgun build. The adorableness of the arrangement is the assorted layers of synergy. Players who don't affliction will be fine, and they will be able to adore the game. But the players who in fact get it, will be adored for it, and they will be bigger players.

I can go on and on, but you guys should try it out for yourselves. It's awesome!
