I started making a no worries character last year to run around with on Darktide. Due to many game additions and some focus on leveling this character I have been able build a solid character.

Currently, I am outkilling/leveling my much higher level Archer on Gold Island.

Besides for a couple banes (which do not go away after death) I do not buff any skills or life protections outside of what I get from my quest gear.

Below is what he is currently setup using.

I am working towards getting the Asheron's Robe and the Master's Robe to augment my buffs. There are a couple quest items (like Shadow Slayer) that I am also in the works collecting.

With the setup above I can throw Imp6 grenades on Gold Island and with using the Swarm Sword, take down Gold Shredders in a few swings.

Since I use the Isparian Wand it is possible to cast level 7 banes even with 10 vit. Since vit does not effect the grenades I can usually burn through any vit I have within 1-2 minutes.

If I concentrate on leveling only I have hit 70 million per hour on Gold Island.

When I die to PKs, and I die a lot (over 5,700 deaths total now), I drop nothing of value and my buffs are not effected. Throw a couple grenades and I am back in business.

Hunting golems? I use the grenades and then the Overlord's Sword. It crits them for over 1500. Usually 2-3 swings.

Basically the character was viable and well rounded enough to play before however with grenades and Gold Island he is really starting to shine.

Just sharing some possibilities with the peanut gallery.
