this is mainly a place holder for my [Nidus Prime] but feel free to grab the build. choose either transient fortitude or blind rage. transient fortitude doesn't give as much power strength, but the -duration is actually pretty nice. [Nidus]' 2 lasts too long, and if an enemy is stuck behind a wall then the 2 will last for it's full duration. even with the lower duration, the 3 and 4 both have adequate durations so it's not a problem. [Blind Rage] gives more power strength, but with a decrease in efficiency. the decrease in effeciency can be combatted with the use of [Hunter Adrenaline] and [Primed Flow] (I have not personally played [Blind Rage] yet, but I will in the future). [Stretch] gives more than enough range. [Adaptation] is there for stacking 90% damage reduction with [Nidus]' 3 to become very tanky as he already heals passively and with 4. I'm a melee main, so [Steel Charge] is my option with naramon focus (combo decays slowly), or you can use [Swift Momentum] with no naramon focus and go whatever focus tree you want (or use a combo mod on your melee weapon, but I don't advise this as it decreases the strength of the melee weapon). if you like using heavy attack builds, (like scythes) [Empowered Blades] is also a good choice in the aura slot, as [Nidus] has no shields to begin with. arcane strike for the attack speed on melee, and the other arcane slot is free. I would recommend arcane avenger, arcane arachne, or arcane [Fury], althought you could put anything there. as always, you don't need to fully max [Adaptation], as it only buffs the speed at which you get the damage reduction, so if you need more mod space, don't max this one. if you don't have any umbral forma or don't want to put any into [Nidus], just use the regular [Vitality] [Intensify] and fiber.
