2. Phasecast and Gun Damage
If you’re a fan of shocking, freezing, corroding, and watching your enemies burn before you, then Amara is the vault hunter for you. This build enhances Amara’s elemental damage, allowing her to literally burn through enemies all without breaking a nail. In order to create this build, focus on these skills:
- Do Harm- Killing an enemy creates a stack of Rush. When stacks of Rush are consumed, Amara’s Action Skill Damage temporarily increases which also increases your elemental damage.
