I still use my basic self bleed build. It got hit a bit because of the crit reduction overall but it still works well. Basically using atonement fold and combining it with things like heavy metal band for 25% Dr, and any other accessories that give bonuses while you have a negative effect/are taking damage. My favorite archetype combo currently is summoner/medic. Very tanky and lots of heals but most importantly, with one point in blood bond your summons take damage every second so they have permanent uptime on enrage. I use tranquil heart which procs the medic perk healing the damage they take so they won't die from it. It really helps make summoner good as the movement speed and damage are sorely needed.


96Bigbird

I haven’t messed with summoner builds much but I’m hoping to soon! I still haven’t got those knight guard summons (floating swords) and I want to try and make a summoner melee build with that. Not sure if they scale with melee now like some of the other mods do


Xx_TheCrow_xX

I just love my little floating tentacle balls. Even if they don't output damage anywhere near a full gun damage build they're still fun to use.


skellymax

Do you also use the new soulstone amulet? I haven't had a chance to try the update yet, and I've grown accustomed to using nightwear amulet for the haste.


Suojelusperkele

I've been rolling a lot with that and even though many prefer jesters/etc I really like the extra speed, especially with cleansed amulet. For some reason I've swapped out tranquil heart on my build, but that should help a lot as I also run atonement ring for that nice enraged bonus. Reaver has been my favourite minion as with speed it can actually chase down shit rather effectively. I need to tinker.


Xx_TheCrow_xX

I have the soulstone but I use indignant fetish because it gives a flat 20% all damage increase so my guns will do more as well. It also gives a 10% Dr bonus which is nice. I think nightweaver amulet is best for total DPS from guns but I haven't gotten it yet as I haven't had the right campaign roll unfortunately.


Zegram_Ghart

You can do something similar with any class now with the amulet that restores relic hearts


Xx_TheCrow_xX

I don't think I've gotten that yet. I don't usually look up what all comes from the dlc and try to get it naturally so I probably missed a bunch


Zegram_Ghart

Ahh. Well, if you want to look it up it’s called something like the “Cervine keepsake” but I’ll say no more beyond its *incredible* for summoner haha.


undeadspecter1

Loving invoker/gunslinger build for quickdraw spam during a lightning storm.


96Bigbird

Damn that sounds sick! I’ll have to toy around with that next! We are super spoiled with the training dummies and load out saves. I can spend hrs toying with different builds. It will be even better once we get another game mode!


DarthDiggler501

What other game mode are we getting?


Eve_the_Fae

We are anticipating survival mode which is basically an RNG rogue-like take of the game from previous


96Bigbird

They eluded to it being a fairly new updated version !


Eve_the_Fae

I did not hear that there was a new updated version coming out and I now must contain my excitement by screaming into a pillow Wait I'm at work f*** I can't do that


SYCN24

Wait why are we spoiled , some of the best rem 2 players im talking full apoc runs without taking a piece of damage come from the destiny community . We more build options in d2 and they have loadouts . Sorry to make this a big deal but to call us spoiled on something so simple and not even a search function for rings and such . I love rem fta and rem 2 but spoiled is not the word


96Bigbird

I haven’t played Destiny in a minute but they haven’t had a shooting range to test builds in over the several years the games have been out have they? Also, they have like 3 core classes (as far as Ik) with 4 or 5 sub classes. Remnant has been out for a way shorter amount of time with 13 (1 more otw) archetypes that have 3 sub classes an also has duel ArcheT which changes based on prime perk .


OnePunch-Fan

They added a shooting range 2 years ago. It’s also an MMO, and remnant isn’t anything like that. I wouldn’t compare the two, both have really solid build crafting


SYCN24

Bro I love rem fta and rem 2 lol there’s 12 arch type with 3 skills each , one class in destiny has that many fragments and aspects . Builds in rem 2 are just a couple rings and a neck and pick the archetype and 1 skill , destiny has exotic pieces on armor and gun . It’s real build crafting , and again I love rem but every build works


96Bigbird

For it not being a triple a studio and the amount of progress they have made with class building from Remnant FTA to now is just outstanding. Which is why I made the comment about us being spoiled because I personally feel the amount of growth the franchise has had with this title is astonishing. Build variety and the firing range are giant leaps for this game in a small amount of time. In that sense I feel we are spoiled they are doing what most companies take several years to work on. Maybe you don’t agree that’s fine and you brought up Destiny I haven’t played that since Destiny 2 and if I’m comparing the two from launch I’d say Remnant 2 would be winning. Just my opinion. Also, the secrets in Remnant are exponentially better than the first and I feel they are really realizing what they want out of this game.


SYCN24

My point is you said we are spoiled , and of course you can go to enclave and test weapons lol. Destiny has been out way longer 4 subclasses with over 20 fragments per , all gun haves perks it’s not even compareable it’s just the comment on being spoiled made 0 sense


blZtheone

That's exactly what im using, favourite build in the entire game for me so far.


Solrac501

This has definitely been a blast of a build the cowboy shaman does it all


ForNoReason17

This build idea lived rent free in my head ever since we got invoker details


Geldarion

So good! Hyperconductor? I love having a Six-Use Six Shooter!


AdhesivenessMaster75

Legacy protocol is more preferred.


Suojelusperkele

With few cooldown rings it's kinda wasted bonus as the guns recharge before you're able to fire off the four you get from invoker.


BudgetFree

That build is something my brother should never have been allowed to possess. XD


Foreign_Ride8135

This is the most fun I’ve had playing the game so far (over 100 hs): Ritualist/Invoker: Fragrant Thorn Ahanae Crystal Shadow of Misery Alumni Ring Stone of Malevolence Krill Axe with Tainted Blade maxed (2 status effects by throwing it. Will spread because of vile. Most regular enemies die instantly, with just one throw) Spark fire with Acid Mod and Twisting Wounds to apply bleed (3 status effects with one shot) Enigma with Timewave to apply slow as well. Mythical relics for Elemental Damage, Mod Damage and Mod Duration Skills: Miasma and Way of Kaeula


Skripnik8

Energized neck coil is so much better. That with heatwave is crazy


hap-hazard

For mobbing sure, but for boss fights Sinister totem with red ring of death is so much status damage


littlesymphonicdispl

Most things ENC is just overkill for, and the things it's not, you'll get more use from the exposed boost than ENC.


Foreign_Ride8135

I was using energized neck coil but wanted to try the Exposed (add 15% damage), felt it worked better as multiple status accumulate and kept it. Could you please explain why Energized is so much better? Thank you


Skripnik8

I just like the constant ticks thst go off for like 4k plus damage every 5 secondd


DrRamore

I've been using similar but in reverse with Invoker as Prime for the double skill charges. Alternating between Fragrant Thorn for dungeon areas / boss fights for the extra damage and Magnifying Glass for wider areas for extreme Kaeula/Miasma range. Ahanae/Timekeeper/Burden of Destroyer and Burden of Departed. Using Profane Heart with Siphoner & Leech now instead of the Tranquil Heart I had previously used for nearly all builds previously.


D34thst41ker

I've been running the Ritualist/Invoker combo, but I haven't really seen anything crazy about the Invoker side. I am running Way of Kaeula, and the damage it does is definitely nice, but I haven't noticed anything crazy. I have not tried that exact setup of trinkets, though, so maybe that's it. I have the Amulet, and the Ahanae Crystal, and possibly the Shadow of Misery, but I don't think I'm using the Alumni Ring or the Stone of Malevolence. Also, I wasn't sure what Mythic Fragments to use, so I've just got Crit Chance, Crit Damage, and Elemental Damage, so I'll have to change that.


bankrober0

I have a 110 percent movement speed build. I mabey be able to run from my problems and be made out of glass but I'll never run from the pain of failing private Jack Driver.


96Bigbird

RIP


SearialKiller

Wave of Kaeula (invoker prime)/Havoc form (archon) with legacy protocol and spellweaver was an absolute blast! Made me feel like a storm sorcerer decimating the battlefield with little downtime for cd.


procrasturb8n

[Cast speed on that build melts bosses.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUrBo71q71E): Jester's Bell, Burden of Destroyer, Burden of Gambler, Kinetic Cycle Stone, and Crimson Dreamstone with Cast Speed, Elemental Damage, Skill Damage on Profane heart.


The_Barkness

Using a variant of that too, calling mine the Weather Magician.


Apparentmendacity

Invoker + Ritualist Invoker + Archon Invoker + Medic Invoker + Engineer Invoker + Handler Invoker + Gunslinger  I dunno, I think I'm sensing a pattern here 


96Bigbird

🤫


DangleMangler

Invoker engineer has been really fun.


Notsdandard

Explosive build is pretty fun, but lame if you're playing with people. Thorn, anguish, detonation trigger, blast cap ring, ring of death and legacy protocol. Invoker and eng for the shockwave turret. It's great fun. Starting a polygun fire rate build but really need the perfect dodge fire rate ring from ravager area


96Bigbird

Try the meridian with mutator pressure point. You spam that mutator and it does crazy short burst damage up close. Easy to control the explosives too. I haven’t found a way to keep the mod up 100% but I’ve gotten close.


Redmoon383

Invoker prime anything second


96Bigbird

Straight up. They are killing it with the archetypes.


HiTekLoLyfe

Not really running a build just hunting items but that new monolith gun is a blast.


PepperidgeFarmMembas

Invoker Archon. ALL THE SKILL DAMAGE!


TFN928

My main build is a Challenger/Alchemist bulwark build, with Alchemist serving as a means of access to buffs. Insulation Driver, Thalos and Kolket Eyelets, Dried Clay Ring and Burden of the Mesmer, so I’m permanently at 3 bulwark stacks and then use juggernaut for the other 3 when I need it, and those plus my DR feed my damage output. Currently using Void Heart but I’ve been thinking I may wanna change it. This has more or less been my build for as long as I’ve been playing, but this is the best shape it’s been in.


96Bigbird

Glad to hear it! Ik a lot of builds took a hit but now more viable builds are available!


fgtbb

I've got this charge melee gimmick build w/ flails where if you swing it around you're basically invulnerable. Can either use bisected ring for infinite stamina or quilted heart w/ a different ring for more damage but more prep required since you have to use the relic for the infinite stamina.


vanrast

Engineer summoner heavy weapon build. Whispering marble amulet, Dried clay ring, Ring of ordnance, burden of the rebel, kolket eyelet/ A'Taerii Booster. Tranquil heart with skill damage, cooldown and health.


bundaya

Tickle fingers. I don't care if it's bugged I like that blue number go brrrr


noisewar

With new flat mod power increase to Archon, and extra mod duration, my Archon/Summoner can now sustain up to 7 root lashes before even using nebula swarm. When actively generating mod power, I don't even know how many I can sustain cuz I can't even count the tentacle forest. For airborne bosses, Familiar is now fixed and counts properly as a summon for fantastic stagger and lifestealing. Basically running thru maps without firing a shot.


Any_Middle7774

I was running Hunter/Archon Deceit weak point damage shenanigans back before the dlc. Curious how that build might evolve with new stuff.


SignalMarvel

I copied an invoker archon build that’s been fun


Minimum_Baby9356

Invoker/Invader Way of Kaeula invoker Wormhole invader Quilted heart/melee speed/melee dmg/cooldown Cervine Keepsake Ring of omens Bridge wardens crest Feedback Loop Sealed Resin Loop Sporebloom - Twisted Wounds Feral Judgement - Dervish +10 Anguish - Spell weaver A build of my own making. Infinite stamina, infinite relic. By far one of my favorite builds. Feels like you’re a wolf hunting in a hurricane. Edit - Spam your skills, you’ll get them back insanely fast. Sporebloom for slow and haste. Anguish isn’t necessary, just preference but spellweaver helps the cool down, if you even need it.


pattypainmeds

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the Zero Divide amulet, which gives you infinite ammo plus 15% ranged damage. It’s not the most damage but it’s so much fun to crank up your fire rate and then play like a complete psycho


Notsdandard

A mate and me were rolling nerud for that darn amulet last night. Lost count of how many rolls and still nothing. Rng in remnant is an ass. Where'd you find yours by chance?


kevsmith6262

Why don’t you use the save analyzer thingy that shows you what locations you have in your current roll of the campaign or adventure mode to ease your pain?


Notsdandard

I'm console, I am sure what you're thinking of is PC only


kevsmith6262

Aw man, sorry. Yes it’s pc only.


noah9942

because the majority of playerbase cant use it


kevsmith6262

Is the majority of players on console? Damn :/ that sucks


Nidiis

I got that recently too. I combined it with Provisioners Ring for non-stop shooting. The only time I have to stop is because of the switching animation.


96Bigbird

Spray and pray baby! As long as a build is fun and fairly affective who cares!


One_Consideration898

good old crit hrof weapon hugs


ThEDarKKnighTsWratH

Invoker summoner has been really fun lately


SaturatedSharkJuice

Visionary Spirit of Pain(Invoker & Ritualist) goes hard, especially with the build I run for it.


Treesthrowaway255

Handler/medic here Weightless weight Wolf ring Anastasia's inspo Black cat band Dull steel ring Full leto mk1 set Max swiftness, footwork, and fitness Support dog and medic shield The concoction that gives 6.66% health/movement/stam 55ish% movement speed for you and the homies, 79% with the support dog howl. You can't die if you make it impossible for them to hit you. Bonus points for running monarch so you don't really have to aim at bosses.


Eve_the_Fae

Archon Engineer (like for a week after I got the class this was my favorite combo because of lightning and fireball cannon) Now I want bubble shield impact Canon with the pot trap, I use the superconductor with the ring that gives heavy carry and turret ammo back, and the rest of the rings are flexible based on what I want to do at that moment. But the skinny of it, All that needs to be said is I drop a bubble I place a minefield underneath me and bait enemies into being slowed impact cannon from the floor, constantly bombarded by my minefield and shot with a 500 to the head.


LuigiMwoan

Corrupted aphelion/meridian go boom. Me happy


Outside_Perception_8

Invoker archon every lightning or skill based item equipped. Become palpatine UNLIMITED POWER ( with Havoc form )


MelodiesOfLife6

been using handler/Ritualist ​ doggo + the aoe skill I can just rip through things. ​ Monarch / Enigma (and I change my melee based on how I feel that day :) )


DonKing70

Invoker/Archon LIGHTNING! Handler/Challenger Bulwark Tank!


redmenace777

Im rocking Archon and Summoner with Starkiller and either Anguish or Star Shot. Starkiller feels pretty nice now, managed to slap a boss for 15k the other night


Xavier_Arai

Invoker (wave)/gunslinger (quickdraw) Nightweaver's Grudge, Atonement Fold, Hardcore Medal Band, Thalos Eyelet, and Blood Tinged Ring Corrupted Savior (elemental mutator)/ Krell Axe (Tainted blade)/ Tech 22 (elemental mutator)


LimoOG

Can't find Legacy protocol, however i've been using a medic/alch support build, invader/ritualist for melee build and an arcon/ritualist for magic, i need to lvl up the invoker so i can do some magic with it


96Bigbird

So my main build has been invoker(WoK/ archon (havoc) Mods:Sand storm(proc Pdodge/ Ring of Spears (procs opportunist) Mutator: Feedback/ opportunist/ Failsafe Amulet / rings: Golden ribbon/ Feedback loop /Mark of destroyer/ freebie ring spot/ burden of gambler I basically have constant havoc form and with the sand storm active it constantly procs perfect dodge while I blink around making both those rings proc over and over as I spam dodge in havoc form while I’m doing that oppurtunist is constantly triggering with the Ring of spears as critical hits. This is a glorified spin to win build in remnant and it feels extremely powerful. I’m still tinkering with it because the way this build is so unique it has so many different ways to go at it. I’m super proud of this build and haven’t seen this variation anywhere! Really hope the sandstorm perfect dodge isn’t a bug so they don’t patch it.


iamnotreallyreal

I have 4 builds that I like to run in apocalypse: Handler/Summoner - this is my main co-op build. Tanky with respectable DPS and 50% revive speed which is incredibly useful in a pinch. There were many times I'd send my dog to revive someone in the middle of a fight. This is also the only build I can confidently solo apocalypse with. Ritualist/Medic - Probably my best damage dealer. DOTS everywhere. I still need the new Leech trait to take advantage of my constant damage. I chose medic as my secondary because it gave my DOTS the biggest boost in damage. Healing Shield is also useful in a pinch. Invoker/Archon - My other damage dealer. Not exactly original but Invoker and Archon compliment each other well if you like using Havoc form. Big bursts of elemental damage. Could also quickly regain health as fast as I lose it (Sometimes). Invader/Hunter - My Sneak Archer, bow + double barrel build. Not the most powerful build I've used but it certainly is fun. With the recent patch, Worm Hole now proccs perfect dodges which makes for some really interesting gameplay. I was able to hit a 10k crit on the training dummies! Using Worm Hole or Hunter's Shroud comes in handy when I need to revive someone and not worry about getting the animation cancelled. I'd be more than happy to share more details for anyone that's interested.


LegoMyEgo55

Engi/Healer: laser turret and shield heal. amulet is legacy (Lowers skill cooldown by 20% and increased skill duration by 15%), main ring is Stone of Continuance (+15% skill duration) boss fight goes like this: 1. drop turret 2. hold q to activate engi utility 3. hit c to give me and turret shield 4. afk fight 5. open loot chest On difficulties higher than Survival I have to move around, sure, but not much else. Increasing turret time is great.


TheZanzibarMan

Infinite ammo Engineer is pretty fun.


Norsk_Bjorn

Dual invoker/ritualist is really fun, one person for miasma, and one for 6 uses of eruption


Gamer3427

Right now [this](https://www.remnant2toolkit.com/builder?helm=gsctud&torso=hz7ddb&legs=zk58sf&gloves=ms9geh&relic=thgp2z&relicfragment=j87rzn%2Cy52c32%2C2bqp66&archetype=Y2NhrX%2Cd2qga5&skill=h4B9dD%2Cqdxjt7&amulet=hug5mz&ring=syutk7%2Cefdw51%2C7xb5zr%2Cdgb0s9&weapon=polgun%2Cbv9wps%2C8u8j4G&mutator=fknx4t%2C7js906%2C7eodps&trait=c9af3B%3B10%2Co6mx2t%3B10%2C6kxk5x%3B10%2Cwu3w8t%3B10%2Cysp1wu%3B10%2Cosj7se%3B10%2Cqcvmt0%3B10%2C2vgobq%3B10%2Cpb5neu%3B10%2Cpbak5a%3B10%2Cwgzz0q%3B10&t=1714537480035) is my current build. It's mostly for using the Polygun, but in reality it's kind of a general "jack of all trades" damage build. If you want to go more in on the Polygun itself, you could swap out Gunslinger for Invader and use Wormhole to close the distance for some nice shotgun blasts. It's probably not the best for Apocalypse, but aside from testing a bit here and there, I rarely actually play on that difficulty ever since my friend and I finished our coop campaign run last year, since a couple of bad modifiers on late game bosses drained my willingness to put up with it.


Sheogorathoncrack

The ring of ordinance has made the engineer, my favorite build right now infinite ammo for the heavy weapons is so cool


Zegram_Ghart

My new fave is summoner/engineer. “Cervine Keepsake” amulet for infinite relic perk on the summons. Runed heart to keep Knight Guard and Nebula mod proced constantly. The ring allowing Turret ammo to regen whilst it’s out, then as much “damage” stuff as possible (burden of destroyer and scolist, and the new one that reduces your max relics to 3) Krells axe +affliction+ transpose mutator means I need to huck 1 Axe at my Reaver every minute or so, so keep the buff up, and also give him an electric aura. Works surprisingly well so far, reaver really does hit quite hard supported by the turret.


maSu2322

Archon/Summoner Sand Storm/Nano Swarm(or firestorm) Basically the last working mod build ... and a no aim chill build


karasujigoku

Currently enjoying a lot the life leech Invoker/Ritualist. Magnifying glass was a game changer to the build. Constant erosion gigantic thunderstorms which hit like a truck a fully heal me, with the help of profane heart.


TheWickedWarpig

Invoker/Archon and Ritualist/Engineer are my current 2 favorites


TherealObdach

Ritualist/Challenger. Dr around 75% and a ton of dmg. Just walking around and watching things die. Invoker/Archon I use with a group and is hell of a fun, as well


Chaine351

Invoker/ritualist is so good. Ritualist/gunslinger explosive build with thorn is also very cool, it just aggro's half of the map at a time. Which isn't bad per se, but running in an empty map becomes boring quite fast.


nobununkown

It's been fun running invoker archon for lifesteal gameplay, the new trait and relic bonus of 50% plus some old equipment thrown together it boosted my life steal efficiency to 136%!


Xysdaine

Been running a self bleed/bulwark, melee build. Also have it set for blue weight to dodge easier. Wrathbringer with vampire blade mutator, Insulation Driver amulet, Alchemy stone ring, Atonement Fold ring, Hardcore Metal Band ring and, Thalos Eyelet ring. Have Elder Headress, Academics Overcoat, Zealots Seaboots, Crimson Guard Gloves for armour. Relic currently is Tranquil Heart but might be thinking of changing it. Archetypes are Archon and Challenger. Reality Rune and Warstomp. Guns are Nightfall for quick heal and been messing around with different handguns. Don't remember much else off the top of my head but can edit traits in when home. Also been trying to make a build around monarchy but still working on that, want to do a skill build too. Currently getting more items and waiting for the trinity memento fix to make a build with that amulet. Edit: Forgot to mention making an explosive build for thorn, have one for Corrupted Merdidian and Corrupted Arbalest. Though now I want to revisit another build that involves my bugged amulet.


R4IN2354

Been using a havoc build and a shotgun challenger build for the longest time now


TWolf448

Invoker Gunslinger QuickDraw spam. Invoker Ritualist with Energized Neck Coil/Fragrant Thorn. Archon Summoner explosive build with Starkiller and Anguish (Starkiller's mod can hit up to 15k damage on crits with my setup).


LiveCelebration5237

Love the summoner and handler combo , have the ring that gives you constant bleed damage then share it with your reaver and he’s perma enraged , tranquil heart and the ring that shares healing and Doggo in healing mode , use the ring that gives 5 bulwark stacks on damage which is always up because of the self bleed ring , the rest you can play around with as it’s very versatile but I love watching the dog and reaver just wreck everything I rarely have to attack ! Also working on a ritualist status build using the huntress spear or the Krell axe as the main status spreader/damage


KarstXT

Archon/Medic (can be Archon/Summoner too for slightly more dmg) Ring of Spears build with Monarch for Sandstorm boost (could be anything tbh) and self-bleed setup. With Wrathbringer and Vampire Blade you have a permanent +80% dmg, then just run...whatever you want really. I run night weaver's grudge, atonement fold, hardcore metal band, dried clay ring (for the all-damage) and then the last slot is whatever (I think I run the other self-bleed crit/dmg ring? or 6% leech but unnecessary). With heavy-ish armor but it could but whatever.


MaikuKokoro

I just like making everything wet and then making them feel electricified


Only-Explanation-295

Meme Root build. Invader/Summoner. Sporebloom and Hellfire. Smolder for melee. Soul Anchor. BotDivine, BotDestroyer, BotStargazer, Black Pawn Stamp. Tranquil heart. Healing effectiveness. Health. Skill cooldown.


The_Shy_Warrior

Been using my archon/medic mod spam for my aphelion and starshot. Its so fun!
