Devastator Vs. Trickster Vs. Techie For Solo Play?

[Lost]

Enjoying my trickster, but struggling somewhat on higher world tiers due to how squishy I am.

Apparently the devastator is a lot stronger for solo play, although I recall a few people talking about technomancers being solid too.

Thoughts?

Personally using a technomancer with no capstone. Trying to build towards vulnerability +80%. Running along the top line till +50% mag size, dipping down to get viral damage applies vulnerability, and +40%, I'm going to dip down to get frost applies vulnerabilty, and the +40% there as well, then start chasing after weapons that apply frost of viral on hit. Currently using the ammo active to change the weapons damage type to toxic, and a armour ability to restore 30% of the weapons magazine on kill. I've found this has amazing sustainability, but can be overwhelmed if you get too far into a crossfire situation.

Don't forget that I think one after the +50% magazine size there's Purge, "enemies afflicted by Toxic receive 30% more damage".

What I'm not clear on is if this increases everyone's damage to that target, or only the damage of the Technomancer with that skill.
I'd guess the former since if it was the latter it should say "you afflict 30% more damage to enemies afflicted by Toxic", but you never know.

The reason I Don't have the toxic boost is You run out of points. I use the vulnerability as I feel it will stack better in team play (and it gives me some more hit points.) It also means I can use frost, or toxic to apply the debuff.

Trickster lvl 23 WT 13

♥♥♥♥ is absolutely nutty. Decided to just sit back and kill Acari to get WT 15, heading back to the first area to farm the Elite boss, gear up then drop the WT down to 10 or so just to level myself. Would suggest doing this if you guys really want to stack it on WT 15 with a trickster. Best advice i can give: USE THE ANOM Rounds. I have hit well over 100k already with a single crit shotgun hit. Just need to build it right.

The Character other then that feels pretty drab now compared to early game. Will probably change to the fire dude when i max Trick.

Interesting, if you don't mind me asking - how do you deal with enemies that either are never close enough to let you score shotgun hits, or situations where diving into enemy backlines is instant death (multiple breachers+captain)?

I\m level 24, WT8. Trickster. It's challenging, but it works. I just need to keep killing things faster than they kill me, and shotguns work beautifully for that. I keep trying to use other weapons, but shotguns are so much stronger than anything else, I think assault rifles and therest might need a buff.

THAT is one huge difference lol

Yeah, I'd love to know what they are referring to. Because my Trickster absolutely rolls over enemies, until certain enemies appear (Strix, looking at you) at which time I'm going to die a lot.

trickster from start to finish, got one rule on my build out dps everything like a demon

[dePanique]

Without Best in slot or top-tier items i'd say Technomancer. WIth top-tier items it's trickster (if talk about finishing expidition less then in 15:00 minutes). What's it going to be with BIS items, have no idea. Probably all characters would be good.

Gave techie a try, the problem is that while I can chew through stuff at range, I tend to get swarmed in melee.

Mines help, as does the turret.

Also don't forget as a Technomancer your melee becomes a short ranged AoE freeze attack that you can fire off every 0.5-1s. Pull it off when sprinting and it becomes a large AoE ground slam freeze.

Great for if you get swarmed.
