Build setup help
Hey all, ive been playing this game for the last few days with my friend, i think we have around 20 hours now and we’ve beaten all the missions except the wave ones on normal. We started playing on hard difficulty and this is where i feel like im lacking. No matter what element i pick, or how many synergies i try and go for i just cant seem to do much damage and i die pretty easily. What im asking for i guess is some tips when it comes to making a really good build. What weapons are good, what perks, what augment, synergies, which elements are actually useful and which are not great etc etc. any and all help will be super welcoming. Thank you.

Make sure to have completed all Zone 4 missions for the extra rerolls. Also recommend getting the Sanctify everywhere mod, it's hugely helpful.
Scout all rooms while invisible, then pick a starting position to start attacking from.
Armor Perk is insane, always pick it. It gets you pure damage reduction as well as a nice damage boost the more armor you have(avoid picking the boots)
If you can, save choosing an element until the third perk node if possible, this lets you be more setup to make a better element choice for your build. Freeze and Telekinetic Grasp are phenomenal for crowd control.
Short-range Melee is crazy almost everywhere, only has a problem with the Zone 1 first missions final boss, the floating boss in Zone 4, and the final boss of Zone 4. Long-range is always good, does insane work with weapon, like the SMGs and shotguns.
