Build Overview

Slip N Dip Amon!

Ever felt like kills skills were too much of a hassle? Did Zane's Seein Dead COM entice you back in the day? You aren't alone cuz GBX turned it into a skill tree.

Well then Slip N' Dip Amon is for you. Activate all of your kill skills right off the bat with some fish.

This has become THE standard Amon gun build. Using proper weapons in combination with an easy to maintain loop this build is exceedingly powerful and easy to run. Requires little game knowledge once the skills are specced and the items are acquired.

It uses My Touch Is Death from Calamity tree to keep all of Amon's skills up at all times. This is done by spamming both your Forgeskill Stormcutter and your ordnance Slippy.

My Touch Is Death works by giving a chance to activate kill skills on melee damage. Slippy is melee damage. Bonus damage from outside of skill tree applied to this melee also counts as instances of melee and can contribute to these kill skill activations. Watts 4 Dinner and Berserk will apply bonus damage to your Fish.

So all together you have a self contained loop that allows you to keep your kill skills up permanently and apply them quickly in bossing.

This is the same synergy that brings you this.... monstrosity.......

Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Fast paced mobbing
  • Fundamental build mechanics that allow you to expand on weapon choice
  • Skill based build. The better you are the more fun it gets.

  • You're so powerful the fights are typically over before you realize from ricochets and DOTs.
  • Your Fish are patricidal
  • Bosses that move around erratically are frustrating.
  • You're so powerful the fight is over before you're done having fun.

Calamity

Force of Nature Skill damage explosions from primed enemies that are double dips.

Stormcutter has a fast animation and will loop onslaughter in mobbing

What Burns Within is double dippable on the Detonation to RI loop

Gut Punch gets double dipped on Force of Nature - good soup.

The Best Defense keeps Watts 4 Dinner bonus damage up

Dragon's Breath amped skill damage shot after each Fish - point will come from com.

Fists of Stone regens Stormcutter with Slippy

Crackling Aegis will buff your DOT damage

Electrical Fire will help keep catastrophe crit chance and damage up

Berserk high uptime gives bonus damage and freeze immunity.(Is most likely skill damage - need to check)

There Is Only Red kill skill buffs the bonus damage of Berserk.

My Touch Is Death activates all of your kill skills with Slippy


Vengeance

The Thrill strong healing.

Cybernetics

Gathering Storm is a double dippable kill skill with permanent uptime from loop

Bolt Action 1 point is purely for catastrophe procs

Equipment

Weapons
Repkit & Ordnance
Utilities

Furnace with as many points in Raging Inferno as possible

Jakobs Enhancement sequencer is on shot buff and will contribute to Berserk

Watts 4 Dinner for permanent shock bonus damage and HUGE survivability

Triple Bypass - Amp on demand since healing really isn't needed.

Slippy procs My Touch Is Death and Tail of the Comet and acts as the centerpiece to the loop mechanics. This cannot be swapped for anything other than a rocket and that's ONLY for a 1 shot drop in kill. The build revolves around this grenade getting spammed.

Hot Slugger will be the main weapon. Wombo Combo is another good one as is T.K's Wave if you can get the pattern down. Seventh Sense is great, Complex Root, really anything.

Berserk is strong enough that you have a wide range of weapon choices. You can make use of any strong underbarrel, high ROF weapons, anything even decently strong will work great.

CRIT KNIFE

The Crit Knife is has been "fixed" twice now. Currently its add with itself. For boss melts if you're going for a 1 shot with a Detonation DOT you can swap to a crit knife to increase your chances. The 15% soup is a double dippable too.

High Caliber allows for double hits with splash weapons through boss's feet and gives on shot damage

Action Fist gives Action Skill Damage for your detonations

Specialization

Specialization 1Bullet Train
Specialization 2Riddle You This
Specialization 3I Am A Gun
Specialization 4The Best Defense

2 of these skills feed into your gun's and skill's damage and are used to pump your formula a bit.

The Best Defense applies to everything

I Am A Gun feeds your gun damage into Skill Damage which Berserk, Tail of the Comet, Dragon's Breath, and Force of Nature all get

Riddle You This is a good source of Gun Damage for Amon

Gameplay

Mobbing

The build mobs in a similar manner to BL3 sniper builds - but MUCH FASTER. By starting any point of the loop you will begin increasing your own damage and building overkill.

The simplest start is to throw a Slippy at the biggest enemy you see, pop Onslaughter and start shooting at anyone that moves. After the first 2 kills you should be able to turn, throw another Slippy, and NUKE anything short of an actual boss with just a single shot. Don't miss to keep it going.

The loop doesn't slow down until you start messing up. Miss a few shots or grenades and you simply have to pull back and restart it. Watts 4 Dinner in combo with The Best Defense plus The Thrill will ensure you stay alive. The only thing that takes you down in mobbing will be your own grenades

Bossing

Bossing is simple - as long as you don't miss then it doesn't last very long. Amp yourself and use one of the several weapons displayed to build Prime Stacks. If the boss survives something like the Sniper Shot or Oscar Mike underbarrel laser - follow up with a single Stormcutter or Rocket Punch to set off the Force of Nature detonation.


Notes

The simplest way to building solid damage with Force of Nature is a similar theory to Moze's Shorfuse in that you'll want to balance the number of explosions and the strength of those explosions. By using legendary weapons that deal there boosted damage ina time frame that works with Onslaughter while also making each Prime stack actually worth it - you can end any boss fight quickly. Radix is the slowest kill by far and they are not slow by any stretch.


The build is tad overpowered for mobbing. While Berserk is up you can use whatever.
