Since we are really focused on kinetic Leeching Attunement and Material Components are great options for lifesteal and more damage. While a kinetic weapon is not needed for Bloodletter it's still great to take because of all the damage bonuses you get for them, and that will help with the bleed.

Lifesteal is a massive part of this build as well. Essence Leech will grant you some and double it while Incarnate is active. Then, in return, it will grant you even more damage because of Blood Is Power.

To keep Incarnate up forever, we can take the skill Grave Sustenance. Not only will Blood Is Power get a benefit from it being up, but Enchantment will as well, granting you even more kinetic damage. Even skills like Volatile Essence will get extra splash, which is great paired with our weapon of choice.

When it comes to augments it's honestly up to you, but I like running Geistwave for a boss debuff since you can kill bosses in literal seconds. Your capstone Heartpiercer doesn't matter too much, and if you want to take it off, you totally can.

Equipment

Repkit & Ordnance

Utilities

The reason we have 3 points in Conjunction is because of our legendary class mod Teen Witch. With it, your lifesteal applies to your shields and overshield. It's very strong with this setup and makes you almost unkillable.

Being that you can lifesteal your shields now, having the amp modifier on your shield is great because you pretty much permanently gain 100% increase damage. Shooting will drain your shield, but your class mod will heal it right back up.

Ordnance and repkit don't matter too much with this build. Any repkit that can increase damage further (like splash and amp) and any ordnance that can debuff enemies. The penetrator throwing knife isn't needed with this build at all, but if you have one, you may as well use it.

I would also highly recommend a Jakobs shotgun with the setup for massive damage, and they are always kinetic. The Hot Slugger is great for this because not only do you get the benefits of everything in the build, but it also does splash damage and can take advantage of Volatile Essence.

For your enhancements, just look for general stat increases to damage, crit damage, splash damage, or shotgun-specific attributes.

The goal with this firmware is to buff your critical hit damage up a ton. This is really easy to do with the three-piece stacking of Deadeye, and you also get a little bonus from the two-piece of Trickshot.

One Shot, One Kill is great because you will always have excess damage. This makes it extremely easy to mob and even get high damage on some bosses.

Bullets Are Scared Of Me and The Best Defense are amazing because you will always have max health with this build. You will constantly be granted a permanent damage increase and damage reduction.
