I’ve been running Annihilator full caster mode. It flows well and I like Collapsing Star. I saw on Method’s website there’s a “caster” Void-Scarred build that takes the melee combo ability and Collapsing Star. Is this viable? I do miss having a little 1-2 melee combo but I still want to cast Collapsing Star as a sort of ‘finisher’.
Not really. It’s useful for open world because it kinda gives you the “best of both worlds” but otherwise it’s not really a thing. If you’re doing caster you really just want to be annihilator for the extra resource gen.
in M+ it FEELS good and can be used in lower keys (6 and under), but if a fight goes longer than it takes for you to get 1 star, hunt etc out, your DPS drops off bad. The ramp up with star playing anni is going to win out, even single target.
In PvP, its ‘easier’ into melee or teams that can line you really easy and avoid star. But just run long meta, the meteor damage and void ray still contributes a decent chunk.
GRANTED I’m still extremely low rated and casual, so take that for what its worth.
Bottom line, its the most fun I’ve had with a class in a while.
