Jamlex Tank Graves

UpdatedNotes on 37 of 5448 itemsVersion 241Updated 10/28/2026

Explanation + Gameplay on Youtube @ Jamlex, Tested + Played in Ascendant. Tankier Variant: 908388 You stack Resists + Health for high eHP Torment Pulse = instance damage, the idea is to stack many item damage instances together to have higher effective DPS. Torment + Tesla/Capacitor + Toxic + Escalating Exposure + Scourge + Siphone Bullets - 7 item instances of damage combined simultaniously. If you do not like Torment Pulse swap it, but I think it's good. Leo Solved Gun Graves [788707] - Best Gun Build
