So, just got the overwhelming HP mod from the kingston outpost and here are my findings: First of all the special mod doesn't increase it's HP gain if you enhance it. It will just lower the capacity, just like skill module. The HP increases with the body enhancement skill module, and you can get as much as 18k health with the build I have shown in the video minus the skill cooldown module (remove nimble fingers). Right now, I'm sitting at 18,777 health and 56883 DEF. For the conclusion, I think it's good with the annihilation set as you will get the buff more often but, it will definitely decrease your survivability especially in hardmode interception and as well as hard mode boss fights. The annihilation set has 30 seconds cooldown, and you would need to wait just to activate the firearm attack bonus again so, I think it's just optional to go with overwhelming HP. I'll be looking for better alternatives but for now, it's better to go with skill cooldown and as well as more health on the build with other modules. The extra shield does help a lot especially soloing hard mode content.

Instead of overwhelming HP, there's an ultimate descendant mod that's the same effect as your set bonus but even better and I don't believe it has a cooldown. I think it's called Walk the Tightrope or Line. Gives you a lot of firearm damage and other things while your hp is below 50%.

​@@Jean-sx8msI have a build that reaches 135k def, so i guess he rolled slightly better modifiers, but here is the gist. Ajax usual trascendent module, overwhelming hp, iron will, all the modules that buff hp and def. No need for skill cooldown or skill dmg as you usually just shoot your gun. On the gun there is a module that gives you 120% more def for 10sec every 18sec, i dont remember how It's called tho. Your shields will literally never break with the amount of def you get this way, and you are almost unkillable. For weapons just run tamer or thundercage, whatever you have more upgraded, they are both fantastic for bossing and mob clearing.

If you use those higher level element mods it has to match the element on the gun or you have to install a blue conversion mod first which wastes mod capacity.

Hey dunno if it's interesting to know, but I mainly play Ajax and played a simliar build in the Beta and re-did it now on release. And if you fully upgrade Ajax with Crystallation Catalysts and Energy Activator you'll become seemingly immortal to any content you can tackle. To put it into numbers, I've got 37257 Hp and 63343 defense and because i've got still room left i threw in a Senory Dep (Mp) Mod which give you 10% Dmg negation on top, I didn't do the math on "is it worth at this point" but I feel a bit mor tanky with it. If you throw in a HP Collector you can heal massive amounts of HP in combat when there are enemies you can kill. I still got 1 slot open to throw in for what i need. All in all a really fun build and nice to see im not the only one who enjoys playing the chonky Tank and being the Lifeline of the Team. Cheers.

If you want good MP return find a way to get MP Collector into your builds. At maximum enhancement (lvl5) it costs 11 capacity and gets you 12.2% mp back per kill (17%chance to trigger with no cool-down on trigger effect). Work wonders on all content, even boss fights with add clearing. Personal experience it feels much better than 17% chance.

Fyi Battle of Stamina descendant module gives skill duration and in general skill duration sadly doesn't increase the time of Ajax's wall and sphere.

@@thegrindshack For maximum survivability maybe the -10.5% incoming dmg mod with a gold elemental resist substat on an external component would be optimal but there would be diminishing returns as the -10.5% would most likely take effect before defense and resistances. Long story short, maybe keep an elemental resist substat on an external component and then focus on getting ~50k defense and as much hp possible with a bit of shields if you can slot it in your build. That goes for most characters if you wanna focus on survivability. Enzo for example should focus on shields instead of hp.
