I strongly believe that Bastion is overrated. For those prioritising survivability, Unity clearly outshines it with superior stats and a weapon skill that delivers impressive break damage. If you're looking for high DPS stats, Dryades is simply outstanding. Additionally, if you're after an incredibly powerful weapon skill for single-target situations and even aoe trash clear, Tooth and Claw is unmatched. So, what's left for Bastion? Healing seems unnecessary, especially when the third Rake upgrade can fully heal you against just one enemy. Bastion needs to step up its game to compete effectively with these options imo.
While I do agree with all points, I wanted to stick with those two options for this build. First of all, bastion is a very early accessible shield, that you don't have to be in the third act for. Also, I try to show a wide variety with my builds and not use the same weapons over and over. I did use unity in my wingrave build. Also tooth and claw being the top tier SnS option gets kinda lame at some point :D. Overall I think it is important to test around and stick with what one likes. I just want to give two options that I found solid. I don't go with the straight up bis option always.

The reason the savage rake has a limit of 7 instead of 5 is the affinity perk raises the limit by 2.
Great content!
Thank you
