Been playing Painboy a lot, since it's the only thing right now I can get good exp on for leveling/req grinding, and I'm curious what a good loadout would be to roll with? What is everyone else using that's working? Right now I'm using shiny syringe, slab slugga (heavy barrel), 'ard armor, iron gob, painboy glyph, health and armor trinks, vial, and dok bomb. I was originally using PAIN plate but dropped it because toughness seems the best way to go, but 290ish health seems cool. Contemplated swapping the glyph for poison resist though, but I've not had issues with poison really. Haven't unlocked 'eavy armor yet, but I'll probably swap stuff out for that when I get it.
Poison resist for when you go suicide bomber and toss sicky nades. Swap the slab for a dakka slugga. You'll get better results. Also you won't need a heavy barrel on it so thats a free 20 points toawrds a trinket.
Reason why I was using the slab was because I don't have heavy barrel for dakka slugga yet, but if I don't need it I'll swap it out.
I was using Slab for a time and it was good, but you need the specific playstyle that it requires. Generally the Dakka Slugga is going to be easier and just better most of the time. Since the patch that greatly increased range damage, I've been relying on Dakka Slugga exclusively. Maybe I'll try the Slab again at some point.
I prefer the Slab slugga on painboy personally it's better as a support weapon since I can pick my shots easier. I also like to stack health on him since you can stick yourself before a fight and get that sweet HoT to keep you alive longer. Gork knows armor is worthless on supports now so just stack up that HP.
As with all things, It's down to prefrence. I have a poison build and a healing build. I can upload screenshots if that helps? Male them your own.
I have a build called Full Support. That's for healing and buffing friends while debuffing enemies. Urty syringe with poison mod, sikky slugga, combat vials, Dok bombs.
This may exceed size limits. The above is the one for healing. I can't seem to get the armor of my Apoth (85) So here, I've just stacked Toughness. I've got a little less EHP, 274 Vs the Apoths 285. My Ork does however have 150 Toughness over my Apoths 120. The only thing you can't see is that i have the upgraded 150LP vial.
@Cydonia see above aswell This ones all about poison. It's partly pointless taking the two sikky bombs, as you can only have one up at a time. There's also now a Smart Sikky Slugga, which from what i can see applies the same ammount of poison per shot and is no different from the non-smart one. Obviously, poison resist. It could actually be worth maybe taking Bloodrage Vial, entirely for the lifesteal, as i think that would stack with poison ticks?
