Notes

This build is all about suspending your target and locking areas down while creating a horde of threadlings to spread your suspend and kill your enemy's

How it works:
1.Consume shackle grenade so that any kills you get suspend enemy's
2.While in weavers trance get kills with Wish-Keeper to build up snareweaver and then use it to suspend enemy's and create threadlings
3.Create tangles from suspended enemy and destroy them to spread suspend and create threadlings
4.Create as many threadlings as possible by using your bow and your heavy grenade launcher
5.Any threadlings kills that you get while in weavers trance will suspended enemy and can create more tangles

Suspension Unleashed:
On Rounds before a boss fight or when you have a heavy crate go crazy with your heavy grenade launcher I run enhanced demolitionist with threadlings. On those rounds enter weavers trance this allows you to spread suspended with your heavy grenade launcher and threadlings while getting back your grenade energy quickly so that you can stay in weavers trance for the entire round.

Your Pick:
You can choose what ever special you want I mainly use the bow and use my special if any adds get close
