Vauban Build?

[TheTenno]

After watching the Vauban P D thread I got back to my neglected good ol' Vauban. He's level 20 now, probably will be maxed by next week.

So tell me, my friends, the best and optimal Vauban Build?

My concept of the ultimate Vauban will be :

1. Bastile maxed, supported with Constitution, Stretch, and Continuity.

2. Tesla maxed, supported with Focus, Constitution, Stretch, and Continuity

3. Vortex maxed, supported with Focus.

4. Redirection and Vitality

5. Add Flow and Streamline to maximize the energy of Vauban.

However, using those mods, we have to use 11 mods which is of course impossible. So, I have a few questions in mind :

1. Is Tesla useful against high level enemies??? Maybe not. I mean, they do so little damage to enemies in Xini.

2. Is Vortex worth using in high level missions?

3. Vauban is really based on energy - there are 5 mods of energy (focus, etc.) however they all can't be put it all in Vauban as he needs slot for skill (ability) and Redirection and Vitality.

In the midst of confusion, I decided to ask about the best overall Vauban build - offense and defense. Thanks.

My Build, do with this information as you want :

From left to Right top to bottom :

 

Tesla. Continuity, Vitality, Stretch, Fortitude

Bastille, Flow, Redirection, Streamline, Vortex

Aura : Energy Siphon

 

All but Vitality and Redirection (levels 8 and 9 respectively) are maxed, with 3 mod slots still available, no forma yet. 

I never really use Telsas so that's changeable.

My weird build

Energy siphon

Bounce Bastille vortex

Flow

Continuity

Max redirection

Stretch

Master thief

Thiefs wit

And Im barely touched by enemies

No Focus? Well in that case, thanks for letting me know. Perhaps I might not put Tesla at all. I see this video from a warframe youtuber - he puts a bigload of tesla on a Nyx and when the Nyx run around the enemy it technically become Tesla-Man as enemies are killed with bolts of energy.

I guess I should re work my Vauban. Thanks.

@whereisoscar : no vitality? You're very brave my friend. I might try it one day. Thanks.

Constitution could replace Continuity

Constitution has 28% duration + knockdown recovery

 

I like Focus too. Just fyi.

Tesla do no damage in my opinion I use Max redirection no vitality and I also use shade sentinel

[TheTenno]

Stretch is a must for a Defense build. Affects both Tesla and Bastille. 

 

 

Constitution could replace Continuity

Constitution has 28% duration + knockdown recovery

So what is your build? And do remembethat Constitution and Continuity's polarity is different.

[Cryp2Nite]

Personally I don't have Focus equipped. Vauban shines on Infested Defense, so I only use Bastille & Vortex, max Flow,

Streamline, Stretch, Continuity and Constitution. Along with Redirection, Vitality and Rush. I would not replace any of

them with Focus. You don't deal any damage later on, anyway.

 

 

Current one for Infested Defense. Continuity and Constitution gives you roughly 24s Bastille, compared to 19s with only Continuity.
