    its like you said, hard to find the back of the BAM so make a gliph build around that and use those wrathful and pounding crystals, just like a tank hiting on the front will help alot

    I wreck IoD bams on my gunner. I have a custom glyph build just for it but my biggest thing is rocket jumping to their back and immediately arc bomb stunning them before they turn around and that will give you more back time. you'll never have enough time to drain a full WP bar of burst fire before they turn but you'll get most of it, as well as AB and MM back crits. Glyph Arc Bomb for longer stun obviously. You can also Arc Bomb stun first, then rocket jump behind them for the back crit, just do it quick.

    Just like Allwordnoplay said. Try to take advantage of stuns. Also learn and take advantage of bam animations. They are locked in place for their duration. One you look at certain animations and patterns enough times, you will know when to dodge and safely move to the back of the monster.

    Sure, it's tempting and seems easier to just slap wrathful. I used to do it for a while, but bams have great crit resist on their front so you will be seen a lot of white damage and fewer crits. So just practice how to back crit an ever turning enemy. It's not as easy as facetanking it but in the end you will get much quicker kills.

    Oh. Also, is not that you have to hit them 100% of the time on the back. Some bams can be stubborn so while getting to that perfect spot you will hit them from front and side a few times as well.

    Thank you guys for answer me but i found my BIG problem ,is the high ping (160) duo that a made some tets and found that running carving,focused,pounding and wrathful is the way to go since i can't be that fast ,btw guys 150+ ms from 40/70 is like a whole new game :(
