Concerns of The Deep? I'm Goopin'
Description
"Expelling goo!"
The 5th build in the "Concerns of The Deep" series.
This one is oriented around Splatter (1). You'll be goopin' all over them and dealing huge damage! Try to shoot your target BEFORE using Splatter (1).
Items have little notes under them. Special thanks to Skinner for helping me making this build.
