15MeleeDox - Getting Crushing fists after Alchemical + BR shredder is good, but what if you skip all CORE items and just buy Echo + alchemical, BR shredder and then Crushing Fists? That is at its lowest, 21k Souls doing 600+dmg per Heavy Melee. (Duration Extender on Pulse is also still important)optional
