Fl4k's wasted capstone... In the 2 capstone era, is Gamma Burst even slightly viable? FA and RA max orange and green, but the Master tree lacks a keystone (Dominance doesn't count...) - and Fl4k's terrible new class mod

Gamma burst build is no doubtly viable, its just theres some terrible designs with fl4k’s blue capstone and his new mod that desperately needs a look at, so we can be more flexible with builds and not just railroaded into bunch of items/skills for a looter game.

We agree about this much - there’s definitely some bad design in the blue tree, and the new COM is a joke.

But I’m not sure in what sense we’re being railroaded. GB players are working around a few skills and one COM that are known to be minimally useful. Of course I’d like it if the pets got a buff, the new COM was adjusted to perform better, and some of the blue tree skills (especially the capstone) got a rework.

But every character has at least a couple skills that are mostly avoided, and all three other characters have popular builds that build deep into a tree but don’t take the capstone of that tree. Zane’s META right now takes zero capstones.

My claim is this: Blue tree has several poor skills. Capstone of blue tree and new COM are bad and need a rework. But even with those caveats, GB is still a viable endgame strategy and is not as underpowered as some people think.

I main Moze but decided to play around with Gamma Burst Flak. I was able to do solo TTD with it. Surprisingly easier than Moze because of the easy crits and pet aggro
