Brilliant loadout options, excellent game
Just had to drop a quick thread to gush about how much I love this game, first playthrough totally blind under the belt at this point. Had such a great time running a true "Sniper" class with scoped rifle and single shot pistol (I love seeing 4 digit damage numbers on a weakspot shot with 2nd tier Hunter skill active)
Combined the above precision offense with extremely nimble but tricky defense; the light armor set from N'rud set me up with delicious light armor rolls, threw on ring that gives much better I frames, as well as ring that does electric AOE on a perfect dodge. Made my defense INTO my offense. So satisfying being able to focus on tougher enemies and clearing weak trashmobs with a perfect dodge.
Amplitude to the max, later in the run blended into using poison SMG (boss weapon, I forget the name) Krell axe for extra SHOCK, plus Amulet that boosted both damage and duration of DoE elements. Poison mod slotted into scoped rifle went perfectly as well. Super fun, wholly recommend.
Now I'm onto my second build and it couldn't BE any more different. Experimentation is so fucking fun & I love how many options we have to tinker with. Can't WAIT for more DLC

I feel you. I fell in love with the First game for this exact reason and It had like 1/3 of items to build with, no archetype, no mutators and only dragon hearts as relic. Still, there were some builds that defied common sense.
My favorite build was acid mod mage (slight change on a build by our only god and savior Bolt) and It melted trough everything with constant mod uptime. Still, the most fun build was faceplanting into enemies and oneshotting them.
Remnant 2 has nothing to envy to the First, but probably bcs of nostalgia I still love the First more
