Turret Builder 2.0

This build is the first (2.0) update to my Turret Builder Keela Build. The build is a turret centric one and includes a lot of turret based dmg and cooldown bonuses + some nice dmg reduction to allow face-tanking most of our enemies. The set that is used is the Builder’s (Battle Architect) set. It can be modified for more survivability or for more dmg based on the content difficulty. It’s good for both solo and group play.

The gear I recommend using is:

•  the Builder’s set (Battle Architect)
  
• a Cogtooth Hammer (+10% dmg reduction & +20% turret damage for 5 second when we use melee attacks near them)
• a Corroder Pistol [until Forgeblood is fixed] (gives 200% dmg when hitting enemies that are in the moving circle)
• Mountain Pendant (cooldown decrease + energy regen) [OR Bloodstone Pendant for god skill heals]
  
• Granite Ring for dmg reduction + hp (or other of your choice with good rolls)

• Heavy Pounding Mastered (decent dps source + procs the Cogtooth hammer)
• Move Mountains (nice dmg reduction + a bit of AoE dmg + can stun)
• Makeshift Automaton Heroic (decent additional damage + used to build duelist’s chain reaction stacks)
• Explosive Rush Superior (OR basic if you need the points)
• Engineer of War basic (dmg reduction buff +  does some dmg) [OR rework the skills to use Mastered for additional armor piercing + healing]
  
• Duelist’s Chain Reaction (up to 400% crit  dmg which is 4 stacks of 100%)
• Upgraded Automatons Mastered (+2 max turrets + 30% turret dmg  vs stunned + 50% CDR for the turrets)
• Upgraded Radiator Mastered (dmg reduction based on overheating level + 100% dmg for the overheat explosion) [OR superior/basic if you need points]
• Alternating Pistons Mastered (alternates between 20% dmg reduction & 20% dmg buffs + reduces cooldowns while alternating) [OR superior/basic if you need points]
  
• Hero of the Desert (a bit of everything) [if you don’t own the Tomb Kings DLC swap it for other]
• Padded Armour (good dmg reduction but can be swapped out for other)
