Is Kyros a tanky DPS?

Is Kyros a tanky DPSer because you can heal or a glass cannon?

Do you play him melee or ranged?

He has a lot of sustain because he can heal so much, but you have to play him melee range to get anything out of him. This can feel bad early on because the heal doesn't do too much, but late game he basically becomes unkillable unless there's a one shot mechanic.

play him how you want to. you can use range and you can go melee like daggers stack Pure Ability power and crit and GG

Sure you can, but his abilities radiate from him being a central point. So it's hard to play him at too far of a range.

Mind sharing your loadout and talent build for this?
Ive been toying with building an decent Kyros but havent seen a build that hits the spot or delivers the golden promise

Actually, Kyros does have a weird synergy with daggers. If you use the heavy attack immediately after hitting with the combo finisher you'll generate a second arcane fragment.

Kyros is fairly good at healing himself via Savage Rake ability 3d upgrade. With AP and Arcane Fragments focused build you can basically spam Rake and have a constant healing and high damage. With this build he also doesn't care much about weapon, since he uses abilities only most of the time. Still will have to block or dodge here and there, espeically on higher difficulty. And use weapons occasionally in coop or some boss fights.
