Before title update 5 hits this Tuesday, I wanted to show players that this type of build is already possible now. You can run a very effective and powerful skillbuild that doesn't have to be the explosives build. It also feels more like The Division while running this build, instead of granny out driving on a Sunday afternoon. I hope you enjoy!

This is the counterpoint I see on a lot of similar build threads. For those that run these builds, do you find that having a strong non-DPS is enough to carve out a niche for it? Or, rather, what do feel are the particular strengths of these less conventional (or convenient) builds over raw DPS builds?
