Benedict in PVE

One of the problems I’ve had with Benedict is team-mates killing enemies before your rockets land.

I used to score really well with Benedict but since the beta I’ve not managed to do so great. I suppose there are other characters to pick we didn’t have access to before.

Once he gets a few levels into his helix it starts getting easier to one-shot mobs with rockets.

I have the exact same problem. Teammates kill mobs before my rockets actually arrive.
The trick is more or less to pick off mobs that aren’t currently being fought by teammates and land as many headshots as possible to score crits.

Allied body blocking is a problem too.
Also for gear I’m running attack damage, crit damage and reload speed.

Well, I gotta say, seeing this looks like I’ve been wrong about him. I’ll def be giviing him another shot :slight_smile: Curious about his legendary tho. You said it’s not about gear but it sounds like you use great gear.Does his legendary make much of a difference? I’m not familiar with it. I only ask so I know whether I should be focusin on grinding out his lore or not.

I don’t have his legendary yet but I thought it reduces cooldowns by 1 second per rocket hit…? Not sure if it’s one per rocket or one per enemy hit

“Air Mail” AGM Loader.
+Reload Speed
+Attack damage
Benedict only: Rockets who hit an enemy while airborne reduces all active cooldowns by 1 second.[/quote]

It’s a really good Legendary.
There is also a Legendary i dropped yesterday which work very well with him. It add Attack speed, maximum health and it give more damage if you have been airborne for more than 1 second. (Talon of the Hawk)

Tested it, i think it reduce cooldown if your rocket does damage, whatever the number of enemy hit.
It also work against ANYTHING (Like Shards)
I need to test it again, just to be sure, though.

Good lord! lol that thing is amazing! yeah I think it’s safe to say that his gear absolutely does matter. Not that this is a bad thing really. I’m sure there’s some other gear I could use instead of that legendary…psh who am I kidding, I need that! I had no idea it was that good. Thanks for the info. time to go check his lore challenges :wink:
