Best Vanquisher Skill Set

Skill Description
Gravity LeapGravity Leap Leap into the air and strike your targets from above, dealing damage and Interrupting enemies within a small radius of the area you land in.
BoulderdashBoulderdash Charge forward to Interrupt all enemies in your path and deal damage. At the end of the charge, you will smash the ground and deal additional damage to all enemies within a small radius around you.
Endless MassEndless Mass Select a target to encase in stone, inflicting Bleed and pulling enemies within a small radius towards the initial target. The stone will then explode, dealing damage to all enemies within a small radius around the target.

Gravity Leap lets you close in the distance between you and the enemy and deal massive AoE damage. With the right mods to buff this skill, you can kill a sniper enemy in a single strike and even fully restore your Health.

Boulderdash is a similar skill but deals two attacks for the price of one skill. This is the skill to use to kill enemies that swarm you such as the Cutthroats or the Perforos.

Endless Mass lets you gather nearby enemies in one place and inflict Bleed damage. You can then use Gravity Leap or Boulderdash to finish them off.

The class nodes in the Vanquisher build focuses on increasing your Weapon Damage and Cooldown of Kinetic Skills to maximize your damage output.

For this build, the Assault Master class node is used as Assault weapons can be used for general battles. For close range, you can use skills to stun enemies and then mow down with your weapon of choice.

Unlike the Warden build, the Vanquisher doesn't have regenerating health. To ensure survivability, unlock Profit Squared to allow you to heal your Health for every ammo pick-up.

Be sure to unlock the Bounty Hunter class node as this makes Elite-type enemies easier to deal with.
