This [Baruuk] build is different from the usual route of building combo on Desert Wind.
With the update to slam attacks, Baruuk's Desert Wind enjoys a very beefy heavy slam attack. This is why we can go the aura mod Ready Steel and Galvanized Reflex on Desert Wind to hit 6x combo multiplier.
Because of how the slam attack play-style works, Elude has a nice synergy with slam attacks, as you will be heavy slamming a big group, then moving on to find the next big group. Compared to continuously spamming light melee attacks, there is down time between slam attacks, which gives a perfect window for enemies to shoot through you and reduce restraint up-keep.
With the update to allowing arcanes on exalted weapons, [Desert Wind] can now do a heavy slam influence build, so [Reactive Storm] is a must slot for influence dps. [Reactive Storm] is currently giving twice the listed amount of status chance bonus, so with [Precision Intensify] and maxed Molt Augmented, the total modded SC to [Desert Wind] is 625%. This will make [Desert Wind] have a final SC of 126% on slams.
[Precision Intensify] is a good fit as [Baruuk]'s other abilities don't scale well with strength and Desolate Hands will already hit reduction cap on a maxed Molt Augmented.
Nira's Set Mods such as Nira's Hatred apply +100% melee damage to slam attacks that is Additive to both Primed Pressure Point/Sacrificial Pressure and Seismic Wave. Making this mod a current must have for an additional 1.8x damage. If you don't need Stretch, or if you're using Seismic Bond from pets ([Serene Storm] counts as channeled ability), you can add an additional Nira's Anguish for 2.4x more damage on slam multiplicative to Base Damage and Seismic Wave.
Using Pull as our subsume for grouping, we can scale the amount of eletric dots in 20m to a high amount as each electric dot applied to a group will [Reflect] back out in the 20m radius.
Playstyle:
1. Activate 1 and get shot a couple times.
2. Activate 4.
3. Pull enemies to you on the ground or in the air.
4. Start heavy slamming in the air.
5a. Roll or cast an ability like pull after slamming. This will force you into idle animation for Elude to reduce restraint.
6. Become Kenshiro.
You will need a specific Mod setup for Desert Wind since it is going a heavy slamming route. For example: https://overframe.gg/build/505425
