Outriders: Worldslayer’s new features have expanded upon every class, with the new PAX tree, two new legendary sets for each class and more. The Devastator is no exception, gaining some interesting options in its PAX tree that reward the use of old and new sets alike. However, there is one Outriders Worldslayer build that rewards an old base game set, the Seismic Commander. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best Outriders Worldslayer build in the game. Here is everything you need to know about the meta-defining Outriders Worldslayer Devastator build.

Outriders Worldslayer Devastator build - The Seismic Commander¶

The Seismic Commander is a base game legendary set that has found a new purpose in Worldslayer expansion. The core of the tier set bonus is useful, applying a 50% damage bonus to enemies afflicted with bleeds. However, the new PAX class tree makes the set even better.

Thanks to the new PAX tree, there is a perk that allows the Devastator to use any Seismic skill to inflict bleeding on enemies. More so, we now find that the typical Anomaly Power playstyle is one of the tankiest builds in the game, while still dishing out plenty of damage on boss and trash packs. Below you’ll find in more detail how this Outriders Devastator build works.

Class tree¶

The Devastator build requires you to invest largely in the bottom tree. You will want to take the Seismic damage buffs, alongside the Seismic cooldowns. There is also an additional Paladin option you want to take, which grants a bonus 45% Anomaly Power for 10 seconds after using a Protection skill. You also want to take the bleed duration and damage bonus options, as that scales with the tier set and your status power attributes and enhancement mods.

PAX tree¶

The core of the PAX tree for this builds you to head into the Tetonic tree and take the following perks:

• Impact Point - Your Seismic and Kinetic skill damage is increased by an additional 30% of your Anomaly Power. Bonus Damage is Split amongst all damaged enemies.
• Puncture - Your Seismic skills inflicts Bleed. Anomaly Damage to enemies afflicted with bleeds is increased by 10%.
• Earthen Shell - Damage dealt with skills is converted into shield.
• Upheaval - Enemies damaged by Seismic skills become upheaved for two seconds, storing 10% of the damage received during that time and releasing it once the effect ends.
• Multistrike - 30% of damage dealt by Seismic skills is stored and added to your next Seismic skill. This effect resets every time you release your stored damage.

What you find with these five PAX perks is that you get significant Anomaly Power increases, which also play into the multiple stacks of the skills you get. This scales your damage in your skill damage rotation to do even more damage. Not to mention your rotation will apply additonal bonus damage thanks to the bleeds you inflict.

As for the defensive side, a Devastator’s bleeds heal them naturally. Combine that with Earthern Shell and your high damage skills will shield you, while your bleeds will top you up if they fall off. This makes them incredibly tanky, on top of being one of the sturdiest classes already.

All in all, these PAX perks allow you to create a versatile Outriders Worldslayer Devastator build. You will deal bonus damage to multiple enemies and bosses alike and gain extra defensive capabilities in the form of a second health bar through the shielding.

Skills¶

The core of the build will utilize the following skills:

Earthquake and Impale are two Seismic skills worth using, thanks to the buffs you get from the Class and Pax Tree. The build enables both solid map clearing with the Impale spread one-shotting multiple enemies, followed by the single-target bonus of spamming Earthquake stacks onto an elite.

You can use your two or three Eathrquake stacks (depending on mods) on Elites to benefit from the Impact Point, Upheaval, and Multistrike bonus damage buffs, helping to pump out huge Anomaly Power burst. This makes the build extremely efficient at single-target and multi-target maps and missions.

We also recommend taking either Golem or Reflect Bullets. The reason is that you take the Paladin talent in the class tree, which grants bonus Anomaly Power for using a Protective skill. We recommend using Reflect Bullets thanks to the skill cancellation, making it quick to activate. This is alongside the fact you don’t need Golem anymore due to the Earthern Shell talent in the PAX tree.

Ascension Tree¶

The Ascension tree is another place where you can further develop your build. It is considered to be something you change naturally over time, but you will want to fill the Anomaly tree. Focus on improving your Anomaly Power first, since that benefits a lot of your PAX tree, followed by the skill damage, and then synergises with your stored damage bonus. You can then fill in the rest however you prefer.

If you’re still improving your build, you may want to add additional cooldown reduction. This helps those who are starting a fresh Devastator and need extra cooldown reduction until their mods and gear attributes improve. You can even consider adding additional firepower to the build when the three skill are on cooldown. It is also goes hand in hand with some key legendary weapons which we will get to shortly.

Weapons and mods¶

There are plenty of weapons you can use in the build. The options include extra AOE damage if you wish to include, weapons with decent ammo preservation, status power buffs and more. Below are some legendary weapons worth considering, especially the new addition, Sunfall.
