Do you find any fun/interesting new weapon combos in the beta?

My findings so far (purely on fun or not and not about DPS, in open world pve):

pistol/torch harbinger - feels great and natural
gs harbinger - feels ok, not adding much to the play style
hammer fresh air tempest - ok to meh, tbh still feels like two different things on one, but it's better than dealing with spheres
sword/horn tempest/weaver - fun! Very mobile and many options for different situations
rifle and scepter daredevil - meh and probably bad, rifle without malice doesn't work for me at all, scepter does not do anything great by itself
staff deadeye - fun with perma quickness but probably not good at the end of the day

What do you think? But all in all I am happy for revs to finally get rid of hammers.

Haven't messed with too much, but pistol/torch harb for sure. Hammer holo is almost great but lacks heat accumulation (really hope that gets added, it's fun otherwise). Condi scrapper with mace/pistol might actually be worthwhile for the first time ever, too.

I think hammer holo as is might be a good chance to explore options with blasting module. Had my fun with holo trait 123 justing jumping in and exploding. But it will be nice if they add the heat system to other weapons, including pistol and mace, too.
