Max Armor Striker is my favorite build now. (Destiny)

With the last update that allowed unstoppable to completely fill out the armor bar, this has been my go to build. I'm running it with an Armamentarium with extra Arc armor boost, so I can survive shoulder charges, and flux stickies. It usually surprises most attackers and allows me time to counter them. I run a 5,5,1 maxing out int and dis. 2 lightning nades with the aftershock perk gets so many kills. Example:

Yup, that was a breaker from lighting nades :P

I also run the shockwave perk for that extra range on the fist of havoc, and Amplify to help boost my super recharge. I try to stay away from close range as much as possible so my melee is usually charged every time I actually use it.

My preferred guns are medium-long range primaries, generally scouts and pulses, paired with short to medium secondaries such as LoW or fast firing fusions like Split Shifter Pro. My preferred Heavy is Thunderlord. They boosted the stability lately and it holds alot of ammo. I really love the vendor IB weapons of late. The last Nirwens with the max stability and FL5 scope is killer as well as Colovance's Duty. These guns hit hard and can kill in three shots easy. I really wanna run some auto rifles, but every time I try one, my kd drops considerably. Most of them just don't cut it for my play style. They are too unstable or weak at mid range. The hard to medium hitters are too slow at close range. The Doctrine archetype is still the best of the bunch with the right perks, but I don't have a good roll on any of those.
