Introducing Knock off Swarmers. This build allows you the ability to overrun your enemies with your favorite green bugs, while still offering an impressive 60%+ DR. Click [here](https://dim.gg/bkeqt7q/Prism-Filaments-+-Swarm) to start your build crafting journey today.

  
Alright enough jokes, It's time to explain. The first thing I will address is why spirit of swarmers, threadlings without unravel aren't that useful. Hoard shuttle makes threadlings sever, and to shreds can make severed enemies unraveled. To shreds doesn't proc very often in all honesty, but with how unravel self propagates if one enemy unravels in a group the whole group unravels. Filaments was an obvious pairing freeing up an aspect slot and giving class ability energy with devour kills.

For the DR that comes from a combination of a few things. The RoN armor set gives 20% while devour is active (should always be active). To shreds also gives woven mail (45%) from killing unraveled enemies, this happens a lot more than you would think giving high uptime as long as you're killing unraveled enemies.  Doing a lightning surge or rapid arc final blows proc amplified giving another 15%.  Those three give 60%+ DR, keep in mind that these calculations don't include sever, facet of protection or any armor mods which can push the DR past 80%.

If you aren't weird like me and run a primary ammo weapon you can swap out the ammo gen mods for something else.



That's all for my basic explanation of the build the rest of this post will be more of the nitty gritty for the nerds like me who care about this stuff.

Why Pocket singularity instead of arcane needle? In my experience I've found it has more consistent uptime than arcane needle. I know that arcane needle scales its charge time based on how many charges you already have. I just don't want to worry about that.

You'll notice I don't run a lot of orb gen mods with this build. That's because I rely on the RoN 2 piece for the most part. Every single ability and two of my chosen weapons can apply a debuff allowing the set bonus to work remarkably well as a source of orbs.

The stat split is just about perfect for my uses. Higher super is always nice I just don't have anymore stat points to spare. 

Weapon stat can go lower if you would prefer a higher distribution in a different stat, especially if  run a primary weapon. 

Class stat is where I have to explain myself as it is by all accounts not worth it to go over 100 with most builds. The extra shield from casting a rift has saved me more than a few times especially because I'm stuck with empowering rift. This build relies heavily on the class ability so I wouldn't go below 100 class as that allows for you to spam your class ability at a kind of absurd rate.
