What's the most recent build/set up that you've discovered?

This^ (though, admittedly, I've not yet tried Hurricane and Mantis combo). My preference is to use the Jugg as a Soldier i.e. prime with Incendiary Ammo and then detonate all the things with Siege Pulse, the main exceptions to this rule being Phantoms and Nemesis, whom I'll happily melee till their shields are stripped and then SP and/or shootify till they's deadified . As to the Hex Shield (especially the small variety), though it has some value, nowadays I've seen the light and don't spec into it (build).

Weapon? - I like the PPR (with Mag' Upgrade and High-Velocity Barrel) but agree that its ramp-up is a pain when things get particularly heated. The Lancer works well for me as it's considerably lighter than the PPR and so cuts a couple of seconds off the Siege Pulse's cooldown, which is nice. An Adrenaline Module should be considered compulsory when he's facing an unknown map, because Rio .

By the by, when I'm jugging and have a Phantom (or, if I'm in a pinch, a boss) hanging off my heavy melee, I don't mind terribly if my teammates so-called 'steal the kill' - that's, IMO, part-and-parcel of the game's mechanics when playing said behemoth.
