Best Solo and Endgame Devastator Builds

Solo Devastator Build

This Solo Devastator build is similar to our Seismic Shifter build and is recommended for those playing the game on their own.

Skill Set

Skill	Description
Earthquake	Release shockwave to deal damage and Interrupt all enemies in front of you.
Golem	Fortify yourself against 65% of incoming damage for 8 seconds.
Impale	Select a target to Interrupt their skills, inflict Bleed, and deal damage. If the damage is lethal, the enemy will be impaled, granting a powerful bonus to Armor and Health regeneration to all allies for 9 seconds.

Node Set

The build focuses on building up high Anomaly Power and Bleed status condition. This lets you clear areas of enemies easily while keeping your health up with Bleed damage over time.

Mod Set

Golem of Death	Bloody Boost	Emergency Stance
Claymore	Improved Bleeding Bullets	Rejuvenation
Stand Tall	Golem Rising	Personal Space

The mods above take advantage of the Solo Devastator's Bleed buildup to boost the overall damage output and provide passive effects.

All weapons should have at least the Improved Bleeding Bullets mod to make the most out of this mod set.

Endgame Devastator Build

This Endgame Devastator build is a mix between the Warden and Vanquisher builds as it makes use of the nodes from both skill trees, giving you a balanced defensive offense build. Recommended for co-op Expeditions.

Skill Set

Skill	Description
Golem	Fortify yourself against 65% of incoming damage for 8 seconds.
Reflect Bullets	Create a barrier that captures all enemy projectiles and accumulates damage. After 10 seconds of triggering the skill, the accumulated damage is reflected back to enemies in front of you. The barrier also protects against melee attacks by reflecting some damage back.
Tremor	Create a series of explosions around you, each dealing damage and draining Health from enemies within a medium radius around you.

Node Set

The nodes from the Warden allows this build to have enough health regeneration and to ensure survivability in high World Tiers or in Expeditions.

Mod Set

Golem of Death	Emergency Stance	Aura of Force
Claymore	Rejuvenation	Stand Tall
Golem Rising	Bloodlust	Personal Space

The mods above allow the Endgame Devastator to have increased firepower and skill damage, which is important especially when taking on Expeditions or higher World Tiers.

Best Path for Devastator

Warden Path

The best path to choose for a true Tank Devastator build is arguably a Warden build because of the health and armors buffs the Warden path grants.

Of course the best path for your unique game play will still depend on your playstyle preference. Here's a short guide to help you choose the best path for you.

Path	Advantages
Warden	Very tanky Build, great for co-op play
Seismic Shifter	Anomaly Damage bonuses
Vanquisher	Firepower and Weapon Damage bonuses
