Anyone remember the old Qularr Mini-gun build using pestilence? Trying to rebuild it and can only think of the passive...

    I don't know of the build, but Pestilence was changed to not proc as often on attacks that deal many dmg ticks per second, so the build prob wouldn't be that good anymore.

    To me it sounds like just a Normal Min-gun build with the Qularr skin and given the "Qularr" in it, likely used Toxin for most of it's powers and perhaps the Mingun as main source of damage, although that whuold be a strange build.

    Perhaps something like this?: This is mostly just powers that -might- fit for a Qularr build, so it may not be perfect, Flow can help you out better then I can Phaseshifter, but just some ideas for you

    Well, Gatling Gun isn't really a strong enough power to build around, imo, and it no longer has a strong interaction w/ Pestilence's DoT. Gatling is okay to take for a long-ranged Muni AoE, but the core of the build wouldn't work that well anymore, so I'd prob consider taking a different approach entirely.

    Hurm, this must be a very old build then, I don't ever recall Pestilence's DoT being like that

    Yea, it would have been a pretty old build by now. I think it was the PA revamp that more normalized the dmg tick rate on Pestilence's DoT, effectively neutering interactions like Pestilence + Plasma Beam, which hit very rapidly. I assume that old Qullar Minigun device had a similar effect back then, but I dunno for sure. Either way, it's prob not very viable right now.

    Pestilence *never* had a stacking DoT. I think the main point of the qularr gatling gun build was that at the time it was prevalent there weren't terribly good passives or debuffs for piercing damage (bear in mind that the qularr minigun hasn't dropped in-game since before On Alert).

    Yea, I think what I saw back then was just a very rapid tick rate on some powers, and not multiple stacks of Pestilence's DoT being on targets, but I don't have a great memory of it all. Regardless, I don't know any of the details of that old device, but it sounds like there's not much of a reason to make a build for it anymore, when a more normal Muni build w/ Gatling as an AoE (and some other attack for single-target dps, like AR) can do okay.

    Yeah it was Cyrone's old "Photon Fury" build that combined Plasma Beam + Pestilence. I can't remember the exact interaction. Old Pestilence's toxic DOT interacted with certain aoe powers and would tick at an insane rate while spreading out rapidly among enemy mobs. You could melt entire groups with it. I ran a version of that build for a bit, before the Pestilence was updated.

    I have played around with Munitions + Pestilence builds a few times, since then. It's actually still fun to watch and very thematic, but nowhere near as powerful. If the OP is just looking for theme and not trying to top the damage charts, I say go for it. Should still work with the right debuffs and advantages.

    Thank you for everyone's feedback! Its been a while (6-7 years ago) I think it was cyrone's old photon fury build but mixed with gatling gun and mini gun(back when you could use PA powers at the same time..).
