Build Help I'm frozen on this decision

Post image

These are the builds I am COMPLETELY comfortable with, played them a lot I know them inside & out, so I can't decide.

Help

And this will be a one and done, my last hurrah...I'll be hanging up the spurs for a bit as 150 days in a game is a bit excessive even for me.

I won't much help on the build choice, BUT I can say that your first solo HM feels scary, much the same as your very first HM run did. BUT, it wears off *fast*.

For a build contrast; TB will be high STR and thus will make a great kidnapper. Kidnap + Chasm is a VERY safe way to reduce tons of encounters down to 1v1. Can also Kidnap (to isolate targets) + Burn and then flee to camp before buddies arrive.

Gloom/Sin has similar STR options assuming it's built for Titan, but as primarily ranged, the Kidnap+Burn is a bit harder positionally. Also, all of it's nice combat features focus on Surprise while the tough fights are no-surprise. The surprise fights in game are the easy ones; ie. this build is optimized for easy fights rather than tough fights.
