Warden
Weakens his enemies and chases them down

Warden leads from the front, jumping into the fray and hindering his opponents' ability to fight effectively. But what Warden considers brave, others consider reckless, and if he's not careful he can easily find himself in over his head.

Description

An unconventional gun build abusing Vyper's fire rate to apply debuffs and cripple groups of enemies while also lifestealing a stupid amount.
Basically Infernus but with an execute instead of afterburn.
I also don't recommend taking this build if you have an Infernus or Mirage on your team otherwise you'll override each other's toxic bullets and bring each other's damage down.
