Iceborne and Skarn seems redundant.
Nah, just get yourself to 50% or less at the start of the fight. Pop weapon charge, get 1k+ shield that never really goes away unless you stop doing damage while still having the perks of rage/iceborne/wild frenzy and faceroll the fights without worry about any damage spikes.

I am getting bored of sword / repeater though so time to change it up.
