my current build

Mainly meant for survivability, with steel fibre im sitting at about 64% damage reduction, you can swap it out for armored agility and be at 54% damage reduction. The reason for high efficiency is to be able to spam blind while still maintaining EB. I rarely ever have to use EB until well, shit hits the fan for everyone or enemies are becoming bullet sponges, use EB with blind for easy kills, stretch is completely optional and can be swapped out for damage. I like to think of this as a berserker build, take damage to deal damage, it has gone through many of changes and is currently still going through changes.

I find it fun building excal tanky over damage, his EB is already strong as it is. Modding for strength kinda just makes him a glass cannon, one wrong move and you are insta downed, especially in sorties (thats just my thought about it). Oh, also for focus, im currently using Zenerik for the energy passive, its quite nice, as for arcanes im using Arcane Grace and Ultimatum. I know this build is well... its something... but if it looks stupid and it works, it isnt stupid. This is how I mod my frame and my frame only, people can build however they want, but I decided to share my build and see what others thought.

Tips - Casting Slash Dash, Radial Blind or Radial Javelin prevents you from being knocked down, helpful for Heavy Gunners/Bombards and such. When blinding enemies, use slide attacks to quickly take out multiple people without performing the finisher animation, or if you are using EB it easily shreds through them all. If it gets to the point to where blinded enemies are taking multiple hits from EB, use some of the combos to ragdoll them and clear them away, especially if you are crowded.
