Eruption is odd? Was thinking it would be a bigger Thermal Bomb. But its really for close range and often you miss it when a enemy is running at you.
So I'm bottom tree Pyro and my current set up is now:
- Volcanic Rounds + Voodoo Matchmaker with Perpetuum Mobile as my main damage dealer
- Overheat: because of the above, I can light a lot on fire quickly, even at a distance, and then pop major damage on then. I have a mod that icreases damage done to non burning enemies, so a couple of charges and snipers aren't an issue anymore.
- Feed The Flames is my main interrupt move and also my "I am in danger" move. I don't want to use this heal move, but am finding that world Tier 10, I just need it once or twice per room/boss.
...anywho, switching off Erruption and Heat Wave to Overload has felt really good. Then again I'm getting a lot of Anomaly Power bonuses through the bottom tree...
You can always respec too. If you aren't liking your build...change it completely at the camp.
Just quoting to highlight. It really encourages you to experiment based on the mods you are getting and based on new skills opening up. Other than leveling up a weapon or piece of gear, the free respecs of skill tree, the low cost for mods, etc. makes it really experimentation friendly.
