Introduction.

Why It exists? I dont know, but I tired of builds based on berserk tokens so I decided to try to make build based on psalm doctrine and it works even better than I expected.

Pros and cons of a build:

+ Very high damage.
+ Great survivability. A lot of HP, life leech, capped resistances and damage reduction makes you almost immortal while you maintaining DoTs even on single target.
+ High mobility because of movement tree, personal teleporter and assault armor.
+ All needed enchants available on relic items and you can easy roll them.
+ Good season starter because it do not require specific items, heavy flamer aviable from lvl 2 and work just with perks (Obviously not that strong, but still more than enough for start).
+ Theoretically viable for Sororitas class if you prefer girls.

- Need a bit of time to get use to flamer.
- On some stage of mid-high level there can be issues against energy shield on bosses. (Gear will compensate it).
- Require archeotec psalm codes of same type so it can take time for build to get its full potential.

Perks, Attributes, Stats, Morality.

Morality
Depend on armour enchants you want.
For Radical: 100% increased regeneration main enchant on Daemonforged Armour.
For Puritan: Immunity for DoT damage or Invulnerability on Kill for 2 seconds main enchant on Holy Armour.
Puritan looks better, but I play Radical right now and there are no problems at all. Choose what you like more.

Perks



Attrition Feedback and Enchanted Attrition are two must have perks for this build and cant be changed. For the third slot I choose Artificial Organs II which synergizes with health passive tree, but it is actually free slot so you can place there what you like.


Attributes

Toughness is our prior to max. Gives resistances, hp, suppression and also synergizes with Artifical Organs II.
Warfare 15-20 for bonus movespeed and crit chance if you have free points.
Virtue 5 for +10 warp resistance.

Stats
Offense:
DoT Duration.
DoT Damage bonus.
Burn DoT Damage bonus.
Critical Hit Strength. 86 is minimal, otherwise it provides no bonuses (86/116/136/150+ our breakpoints).
Cooldown Reduction also can be useful but not necessary.

Defense:
Damage Reduction.
Resistances.
Suppression Damage Reduction.

I cant really say which offensive stat gives more damage for build, so just roll what you can and will work anyway :D

Passives.


Evasive Bionics passive works with our LMB and RMB skill and stack additional 6% damage reduction.
Cerebral Feedback reduced CD on crit and works perfectly with a weapon enchant.
And movespeed just make our holy crusade smoother and more comfortable.


Nothing really to say for this tree. Big aoe and damage buff.
Eradicative Protocols helps us to descrease CD of Scorched Earth and Phosphorus Splash.


Needed mostly for additional survivability but addition crit strength also useful. Spend point here after you get enchant on flamer.


Increases DoT damage and Duration. Also disable enemy HP regen.


Reduces heat generation and helps to stack Vulnerability. In mid game, after getting Neural Implant enchant you can reset tree and spend only 3 points for Adamantium Heat Sink.


Resistances, damage reduction nothing really to say.
Bulwark of Zeal work good with our armour provides additional 5% damage reduction.


HP, Suppression also nothing really to say. Just survivability.


Gives additional defense and offense boost because of Psalm Doctrine (Section Doctrines).

Psalm Doctrines.

Weapon

The core psalm doctrine for this build. In 6th slot place Invictus Shard for stronger DoT.

Armour

Works exactly as it described and even better. It applies two stacks of DoT on single target instead of one. It 6th slot place Uncreator Psalm for damage boost.

Main Implant/Inoculator

Just damage boost.

This code allows us to sustain Protected suppression status and synergizes with Suppression passive tree.

Belt

Just damage boost.

Note:

Uncreator psalm is what you should place in every free socket. Works only one psalm-code per item and if there is a vulnerability effectiveness enchant on it - additional effectivness from psalm-code will not stack with it.

Gear.

Sorry for this poor section, but I do not really have all required gear right now, so I hope you will imagine it is here. List of enchants you need for build to work properly.

Mandatory:
Signum, Belt Equipment or Neural Implant. I recommend implant because there is no more useful enchants for us.


Purity Seal


Eye Implant


Weapon

For secondary enchants you will need Critical Hit Strength, and -% Overheat. HP on critical hit also can be useful.

Optional
Belt Equipment - Personal Teleporter


For an Armour I recommend Assault Armour for mobility.


Main Implant
Main enchant: % bonus damage for Burning Enemies is what we need. Secondary enchants like Toughness, HP and DoT Bonus Damage will be also useful but roll what you need in terms of stats.
Alternative: Ancient Relic Main Impalnt of Boiling which provides even more % bonus damage for Burning Enemies and reduces Overheat.

How it work.

Flame Cone (LMB) - our main damaging or better to say - DoT stacking ability. Fears while there are no suppression on it's status Overwhelmed.
Disengaging Stream (RMB) - our secondary ability. Can be used to get rid of suppression on bosses.
Scorched Earth (1) - Knocksdown if suppression status Overhelmed and ignites ground on impact. Can be useful in some situations.
Phosphorus Splash (2) - Additional damage ability. Ignited ground on impact deal additional damage and looks like scales off DoT damage, also refresh DoT and Vulnerability stacks on target. I use it mostly against Energy Shield. Just spam under bosses feet and he will die.

Just stack DoT and vulnerability in a way that is convenient for you and it will works.
