This build is good for farming resources in dark sectors, or just playing quick missions. You got enough damage with a good stat stick to deal with acolytes.
Enough survivability since you can shield gate, pets will life steal and heal you even sacrificing themselves to stop lethal damage on you and respawn after a while.
TLDR:
You'll only die if you really want to.
Remember to equip the Decaying Dragon Key on your gear wheel. Reducing your max shields, and so making you able to [Regen] to almost max shields with 2 casts of whipclaw
Archon shards
WIP
i like to run 4x crimson shards to give 50% Duration or 75% if they are Tauforged (still testing with the new shards from Whispers update)
you could use 5x crimson shards to give you 125% Melee Crit. Damage. or 187.5% if Tauforged if you want more damage on you Whipclaw.
Playstyle
If its a survival mission, find a good spot to sit and use your Stangledome (4th ability). Preferably corridors where enemies can only come from 1 place.
You can start of by using Ensnare (2nd ability) and use your melee, not the whip itself, to build up combo fast.
Use Lycath's [Hunt] (subsumed 3rd ability)
and spam Whipclaw (1st ability) on your cage
Enemies Affected by Ensnare take 2x damage from Whipclaw, this works on Acolytes and also CC's them for a brief moment
Both [Venari Prime] and the [Panzer Vulpaphyla] are using [Synth Deconstruct]. You'll be getting a lot of Health Orbs specially from the Panzer and its [Viral Quills], and so Helping you stack Arcane Blessing. Paired with Equilibrium you hopefully won't run into energy problems.
