Patch 14 Salamanders Tactical - One shot Melee/Pyro Build | True Solo Absolute | Space Marine 2

#warhammer40k #spacemarine2 #gaming Patch 14 brings huge nerfs to Pyro. Burn damage no longer benefits from Aux Scan, which is a very strange balancing decision. Pyro itself is still very strong, and with Scan it used to absolutely melt bosses. But instead of nerfing Aux Scan, they completely removed the interaction, which dumbs down ranged combat even more. For this build, instead of the usual top final perk for Pyro, we're taking the bottom one for the 20% melee damage increase. With "new" toys like the Heroic Chainsword and Wrath Relic, we can now reach MASSIVE melee damage. Since Scan no longer increases burn damage, we take Battle Focus and Close Targeting instead. Battle Focus was already the best-in-slot perk, and I used it even in Absolute Plus because it gives you a passive Scan on block, which is extremely valuable, especially in solo play. To push our passive damage even further, we also take Close Targeting. It gives a 25% damage bonus while Scan is on cooldown. Unfortunately, it's not multiplicative, but it's still a nice passive damage boost. With everything combined, we can literally delete almost anything with a single Shoulder Bash (509 dmg from 1 hit) , assuming all buffs are active, of course. Also, Patch 15 should bring the Tactical melee rework before they even rework Vanguard or Heavy, which is interesting to say the least. I'm excited to see what they do with it. If they make Tactical's melee anything like Bulwark or Assault, it will be legendary.
