Enrage Question

How is using Enrage on a ranged build? Is it just a bad mix? Will it depend on Passive at all (I'm planning on NW Passive)?

    Well, Enrage gives half its damage boost to ranged attacks, and procs on knockback attempts.

    So, if you have someone who uses both ranged and melee, and uses, say, Shotgun when at range, it works decently.

    Deliciously nutritious!

    There's a few ranged knocks.

    Force obviously (Geyser, Eruption, Cascade among others), Updraft in Wind, Shotgun as mentioned, Torrent of Arrows, Shuriken Throw, the various chain powers ...

    Although knocks and Night Warrior seems like an unusual combination. However, I made a speedster level 40 retcon build that uses Enrage with Rising Knee, Dragon Uppercut, and Brimstone in HW for knocks. So it can certainly be done.

    Although I'd personally be hard-pressed to not take either or both of Ricochet Throw and Throwing Blades on a NW build. The bonuses from stealth are SO GOOD. That said, either would still benefit at half strength from Enraged just like all the other ranged powers.

    If you're taking it for Endorphin Rush, I'd probably recommend Force Geyser, particularly if you have MSA.

    I don't think Stealth Strike is boosted by Form damage, though.

    I have a unique thematic and yet very effective melee/range vigilante using enrage and no knocks at all.

    The basis for my build are combos and range, heavy weapon and munitions. DPS is rather high mainly on the melee part, but the range powers allows me to play lazy in a party and is very thematic.
    Powers I use:
    Way of the warrior
    Aspect of beastial
    Cleave
    Decimate
    Bullet Beatdown + break the trigger
    Submachinegun Burst + advantage (refreshes my enrage)
    Two gun mojo + advantage (a stack of concentration on top of enrage)
    Unleashed Rage

    Night warrior can be very effective as well making the melee/range more balanced.

    Yeah, the idea is to use Endorphin Rush with Night Warrior on a build that relies of Gust/Whirlwind/Typhoon.

    Ah hah. I'd definitely recommend Force Geyser for that. Updraft would work too, but I really like Force Geyser for the short cooldown to fuel MSA.

    And using Cleave for Enrage building makes perfect sense. May have to include that on someone...
