I got synth and I most light and it’s as crazy as you might think. My lighting dash melle will usually take out champions in one go and everything around it at the same time.
My class item roll is spirit of osmiomancy and synthoceps, vortex grenade for getting void overshield, and boost melee dmg further from the artifact, tested my build on expert lost sector, it depleted almost half of the champion's HP, pretty fun build!
I have used this builds weird little brother, winters guile and arc melee with devour and hellion. After using prismatic you have unlimited melee charges that jolt. Effective? Maybe not but fun for sure
You can definitely spam it a lot with this but the damage of lightning surge is terrible without spirit of synthoceps. I prefer the class item with synthos and assasin's cowl. Then you use monte carlo for melee regen
I don't bother with lightning surge outside of pvp. I am sure it is good but feels too risky in harder content. I am using the crown but relying on Indebted kindness and the storm grenade to proc the perk, then with Devour + strand demo weapon = instant grenade. Then can also save the needle melee to debuff whatever is getting storm grenaded (jolting and unravel togerher is insane aoe).
I just pulled the assassins cowl / synthoceps warlock bond and going to make a build around what you are using with the strand melee and lightening surge. Any tips ?
I have spirit of assassin and synthos. It’s fun but I struggle with melee regeneration even with a Monte Carlo. I currently don’t recommend it in GMs though.
