Would occasionally run into vets playing Warzone and they throw lingo around sometimes
CHC % ?
uhh lemme check also just got double crit
Double crit would help the core roll, depending how good or bad
The build is all blue anyways so damage is not the focus
Ah yes, a half naked Nicki Minaj sliding around is just the sort of environment you hear military terminology 🤣
I love using military lingo when providing central intel for my cousins while they play their shooters lol
Sadly, BF6 wasn't even a concept at the time 🤣 otherwise we'd find them there
"Delta Cousin 49er, you've got hostile troops inbound to your position on Grid # 3376981, Over"
I’d be like a Zeon grunt if I ever saw an RX-78 b-hopping around the corner with his rifle raised to my face as I tried to flank on 🅱️
My brain read "RX-7"... I think chow would be proud of me
I wanted to get those Gundam skins
I just want my crit pointman 😔
Purely to style on zoomies with Gramps or Aerial
FC or FD..
I’m NOT three times as fast as Char on the hot swap and reaction speed tests
You mean the EX-8?
Me personally, I'd go with the FC. The FD has been in the spotlight too long and the car has lost its specialty imo. Same way the R34 has been blow up way too much and the older models aren't seen as good
Oh boy, I can’t send Gundam gifs D:
But chow you're forgetting the FB as well 👀 and no, not Facebook
If I was rich I'd make a division wrapped car 💯
I wanna get myself the watch and device that our agents have
the rolls dont actually matter because if I were gonna use them I have enough to max em out
What is FB-?
Driven both. I'm too tall for a FD. FC I just like how it looks. FD is goat for what it is.
FB RX-7
<< BOYS, WATCH YOUR CORNERS! I SPOTTED A ENEMY SNIPER AROUND THE CAPTURE ZONE! BY ITS GLINT! >>
My dream is the FC with the 13B Rotary. Must be a hard top. I want it in white as well and I want the taillights blacked out. I'd also have the bottom half wrapped in black so it gives off a panda vibe. I'd also figure out how to make a black rogue skull logo and have that go on the back as a badge 💯 I've got a model car I built of it sitting on my desk
hey fifty brother you might hate me alot
Did you craft double crit closer?
Wait a minute- that’s not a Gundam, that’s a car
Me personally if the rolls are high enough I would invest in maxing it out
Having a mobile suit wrapped and treated like a car would be funny though
again the mats dont bother me at all
I've maxed out worse
the kicker is it took 5 crafts
I hate slow data speeds 💀
also wtf would I run closer on? pve wise*
yes
Closer chest, Ceska backpack, Grupo holster, fox's knees, ODogs, Fenris mask
Flatline weapons as well
0 stack damage mechanics. Vigi talent for the backpack as well
huh I have all of those
Basically you shoot, you're at max damage
linked laser too?
aight 1 sec
Technician is required for LLP
all red core I presume?
People sleep on spotter builds heavily
can you tell me why that thing is so inconsistent for me? it's been like that for years
sometimes it pulses, sometimes not
Spotter? Sometimes in the range LLP pulses
LLP i mean
Others.... Well...... It doesn't. But for me using it it pulses
yikes I just spent 600 chest weaves on that closer
Before overdogs it used to be contractors gloves. With coyote. Now coyote is pointless
weirdly I actually havent touched overdogs yet
Flatline gives amp, spotter gives amp,overdogs gives amp. Perf spotter is 20%, ODogs is 30%, flatline an additional what, 20%?
Is it truly over for the doggos? /j
70% amp total 🤯
Nah, my dawgs 💯🗣️
That is— YOU SAID 70-?!
Please touch them. The talent is stupidly strong
Assuming my math is right, yup!
Should be seeing around near 2m in crits with that setup. And I personally haven't used spotter in a long time
Amps don't add together though, so it's not 20%+30%+20%
It's 20%x30%x20%
I figured it wasn't as simple
any subsitute for fenris? my dumbass deleted mine
So, if damage before amp is say 500k, it's 500kX20%X30%X20%
The build even before ODogs hit pretty hard so I can imagine ODogs would make it hit harder. You'd see an average of about 1.4m crits to the body at the time those builds hit
I wanna pet the dogs— speaking of, tell me how devastated I felt for a whole minute after clearing out an elite territory zone and after I grab my junk-loot— I’m walking out to the nearby door as it’s raining and foggy- I see this big and fluffy golden retriever standing at the door all dough eyed, I walk over to pet and it runs away??? D;!!!
Walker, IA, either of those
UBI!! LET US PET THE STRAYS ;n;!!
what gun just curious
That doggo reminded me of this one golden retriever belonging to a distant Tia, she still acted like a puppy even though she was getting old ;w;
Most say use flatline on Lexington but I personally throw it on the SOCOM MK or whatever it is
The AR 5.56 weapon that shoots sorta slow
oh that kingbreaker or whatever it is? rpm too low for my liking
Nooooo don't touch Kingbreaker
Raccoons are trying to shift their strats to match with the current meta.
They want us to take them in as pets.
I mean, if you have an AR AUG, can it take LLP? Aug mag size is good and accuracy isn't bad
I use it with my OD build and it plays okay
yeah this is the thing I've barely used LLP at all so idk what it can go on
You'll need the long laser rail for it to go on weapons. Carbine 7 would be perfect
Why does the Invisible Hand always veer off heavily to the right side whenever I dare to shoot it-?
If you got an AKM that would work too
Recoil pattern
That would make gorilla wife and co very happy
The gorilla in question
I hate it when people in Europe call the AK's "Kalashnikov" 😭😭 bro just call it an AK
I got a socom m1a maxed out in stash
Flatline? On Lexi? I haven’t made a flatline build yet…I got a Nightwatcher or two..
Or just call her by her “real” name from GFL2 lmao
what right now is meta solo dz pvp build?
It messes with me :((
Best in slot rifle is UIC Mod
Bighorn Regen
You could do memento strikers but you'll have to play heavily towards landmarks to upkeep your stacks
I've solo manhunted a few servers with memento strikers. It's doable. Just exceedingly difficult since pvp is heavily a group focused mode
ok thanks, but the bighorn is much more viable then
fifty do you wanna see this build in action?
Definitely. You'll have passive regen built into it
Touch the Famas or EB, you'll think Invisible Hand is a kid's toy
I used to be terrible with the recoil control on both those weapons when I was forced off keyboard + mouse for controller due to injuries I've sustained
@strong cave builds pretty fun cause of no ramping needed
EB? :0
I gotta check my stash for a Famas..
And the Hand looks like a toy to me— I’d buy it :))
Eh...
Anything up to solo heroic is viable.
Good is a different story.
PvP advice my friend, not PvE
It's a DZ solo build
#td2-pvp-discussions Get out of here then! JK
falls under build advice no?
🤣❣️ we love ya chow
Ya it does but this
xD
hhappens....
Eagle Bearer = EB
BB = Beagle Bearer
Looks SOLID. Just get a Fenris mask please
DOGGO GUN WHEN???
but why tho? I am maining the mk17
it exists my friend
Allows you to swap between your rifle and AR without the loss of any damage bonuses between the two, since fox's gives you rifle damage and having Fenris boosts your AR. IA or Walker gives 5% to both but if I'm not mistaken 10% AR damage > 5% WD no?
At least for the AR category
yeah I dont think I'm keeping lexi on it tbh, gonna run my meme 30 expertise cooler
I'm barely gonna touch this build as it is anyways so its no real harm
Stackless damage is super super good. I use slower firing weapons with it and I play it like glass cannon so I don't really need "insane" burst DPS. With this seasons modifiers tho using the AKM or SOCOM is super good
Still not sure how the overdogs are working tho, I couldnt be bothered reading the talent so just figured eh itll proc when it wants
Yeah just shoot people and when you notice your damage ramp up, that's who you know to target
something hierarchy enemy thing but im not gonna focus that hard on what enemys I'm looking at
yeah figured i'd learn by trial rather than memorize it
There's apparently a trick to it where if you damage a specific tier enemy or so, you can insta swap targets and still get the 30% amp
aka caveman, ooh big number on that guy!
It's a nice build, I've been using it for a bit over the years. I need to dust it off bc we have ODogs now
I made a PvE BH build.
Why run Flatline when you can run Rifleman and get 50% WD?
Vector is the highest rpm smg, without exotic? Right?
I dont care about the build, its about its premise
if I didnt use flatline the chestplate semi unicorn piece would be void
It's all in the gearsheet
@vernal tusk You don't have access to a google doc?
Where is it?
Never mind
It's pretty much the 1-stop shop for all things div2 info.
If you can't find it in there, it's likely that you're asking the wrong question.
invisible hand named AUG
Oh
i need someone to tell me what the best dps build is and the best solo summit floor 100 build is
Strikers
Here's the thing.
If you're soloing Summit 100, your build won't help you.
Your gameplay is your survival.
You can use the best strikers build in the world, with everything fully optimised. But those hunters are going to tear into you quickly if you don't know what you're doing.
Easiest way to clear F100
https://youtu.be/qDaEiwUaqug?si=whvWa2VsHLn41Z8S
Whata best build for group and solo as i play with my friends as we try to do legendary strongholds aswell but everyone only post up solo builds
almost every build can be brought to a group if you know how to play with it
oneshot, HHF, PVGC Strikers...
@solar sable alr thx for letting me know appreciate it
@magic pilot or @meager fog, Can the DPS from Oxidizer build be legendary viable?
Yea it's used in specific group strats a lot
Most of Capitol is oxi
Just like shooting the stuff at a spawn door?
or area where enemies drop down to?
Mostly at spawns, but you need cc too
what kind?
can banshee pulse suffice?
Nah you need foam
you need foam to make it work? sad..
Boss room on Capitol is a good example, all the enemies spawn in 1 little box
well how about running collector chest for foam grenades recharge and then just going full skill dmg?
You'd be losing out on glass
I wouldn't run oxi unless you have someone else to coordinate with
lol at least the shit would work without needing a foam guy
im gonna do it lmao
how about this: running acosta bag?
It wouldn't work it's gonna be too weak
Could do that, eclipse would have the courier too though
this game is extremely frustrating when u wanna be creative
You need the foam to spread through walls
because enemies will spawn behind walls (inside spawn closets) or when there are multiple spawns
and you want them all to be stationary for a while
yeah no one's getting foamed if they're still in spawn doors
I made an abomination. Its a hybrid capacitator and Oxy build. Idk what it is even dont ask hahah...
ummm lol well at least run technician
i cant get foam nades on tech. Im running 2 brazos pieces to make up for it.
oh i missed that. well break a leg!
dta and dttooc also benefit oxi btw, it's why people run skill tier fox on here
yeah dont have the ones with skill dmg on em unfortunately
do u think running Contractors + Fox's (both with skill dmg and skill tier) + 1 piece Wyvern would work well with my oxy build?
yes, it's one of the default configs
most run btsu over contractor tho for OC
BTSU overclock is quite infrequent. If you want overclocks often you wanna run Axel (shiny monkey) you can OC every 30 secs there
so legit half of the time u play ur overclocked
yeah but you only OC once per encounter
you're not meant to overtake the dps role as oxi btw, either you do it right and the encounter just ends right there and you run to next obj or you don't do enough damage and you bring a dps instead
eh ill mess around
i give you the context so you know how it works in practice, but ofc feel free
ty
@onyx sage Supposing i run axel and get free OCs half of the time I play all the time, would that work? Do you really need the foam to keep em still or isnt like the 2000% extra Oxy radius generally enough?
you don't have enough oxi charges so that's your bottleneck
you spam them a lot
you need to spam them all for the spawns to die in time
and because of that you'll run out of them unless you know how to get them back for next encounter (dying by checkpoint)
how do you "know" how to get em back?
you want to oc with btsu because it doesnt take a damage talent out of the mix like axel.
context.. PvP or PvE?
terribly setup, man. System corruption is just good for PvP
also, artificer meshes well with oxi so it synergizes
PvP
Why streamline?
I'm a bit confused why you're using bulwark. Additionally, you'll want Ceska chest not Grupo
You don't get to use either skills..
Sys Corr only gives 20% amp and there's not many good skills to use with it besides pulse, sticky, defender and decoy
your CHC chance is low
You can make streamlined work but you have to play very peeky and hit flanks
Skill are too powerful in PvP not to use them.
@worn imp These are the two variants I run when I need it.
Very true but they're not always required, it entirely depends on who they're fighting
@worn imp there's a full oxi guide if you search for it.
whats fll?
It's very in-depth. I haven't moved it to the build hub
My suggestion would be swap chest to ceska for sys Corr. Sys is heavily crit starved
full
I'd personally also just full ditch coyote if using streamlined for optimist or strained paired with streamlined (tinkerer mask)
i been running oxi with 3 wyvern for the 45% duration... granted its just for when hive isnt best on my mortar setup
I chose streamline to get the extra damage on instant as with other talents I didn’t want to wait on other talents , I play off corners ussaly but not when I need to I use the boost to make that push in or to isolate people for 1v1 , I chose bullwark to help revive people/ deploy when I get a crate so if I’m interrupted I can cave myself , and defender is same thing , I looking into using tinkers mask with strained and streamline and the dmg was lower by I think 40k ish
Sys is in a poor spot but some variants can work
oh i'll try that, thanks! There's one specific area where I wished I had more duration.
i use it at the end of heroic tidal for the generators and sams
Were you using Lexington with Tink?
I can agree on the low crit chance but would it be better to change mods for more or go to the cheska
No , using a police m4
@worn imp here
#td2-build-advice message
Use a Famas instead that's your issue
Does more damage and shoots faster if I'm recalling correctly
Maybe, not a big fan of the famas but I will do some playing around and see
Not to be a butt can we move the PvP to #td2-pvp-discussions
On mine I run it as a 3/3 setup with EB plus Famas as secondary
I'm cool to take it there to try to point you in a good direction @radiant dirge
if i wasnt running mortar ide be running it with btsu, tech, and artificer
so in other words you never run btsu 
Why not try to fit waveform into this build?
purpose built and i would lose a lot of duration
its already stacking a lot of skill damage so more isnt as big an impact
how about just running a piece of murukami and shiny monkey to make up for lost duration?
At the cost of perfect glass and 3 wyvern
No you need the Skill Damage
You only need the duration mods. The guide is very well tested
would sill be losing 15% duration
DPS > duration
^
You have to time and watch when waveform is on the mortar side which isn’t easy to do
Are we talking about Oxi or Mortar now @worn imp
no but in general its a 15% skill dmg bonus on average
im talking if u were to combine the two and use waveform
No it isn’t on average it builds stacks to get to there. It is not worth it.
kk
If you used on either build half the time it does nothing.
for one of the skills. for the other one, its boosted
Waveform?
ya
Right so a Hive and a Mortar.
So when it’s giving the Hive Stack of Skill Dmg it does nothing for the build.
if waveform was total skill damage i would use it... as of now, its regular skill damage stacked on top of 130ish skill damage
Even then since you can’t see where it’s stacking on it would pita to use
no dude, for the combination of mortar + oxy, couldnt it work?
you gotta remember, this is a setup for 1 specific area with my mortar. if i was gonna pure oxi i would btsu artificer
Oxi isn’t a great to use in normal PvE ads will just run out of the cloud
You’ll get like 2 to 5 ticks on them then they’re out of it.
For leggos, Oxy and Mortars are the only DPS viable builds right?
huh!?
apparently this is what ive been hearing and from what ive seen it seems true
you need to seperate dps and skill builds in your mind... 2 different things
bro skill builds CAN do DPS. there arent many tho. mortar is the only one ive really seen be efficient
Not really.
bro, it sounds stupid saying skill is dps
Mortar isn’t a DPS build by any means.
they are skill damage builds.,. so when you say mortar/oxi is only viable dps in leg it sounds like you are confused
in some ways Mortar is CC because enemies roll around when u shoot them
okay fine DPS is the wrong term. "viable damage capability" would be more correct
just call them skill damage builds and everyone will know exactly what you mean
Skill Dmg build.
refactor turret/drone is a viable skill damage setup in leg
i see that way more than mortar
press X to doubt. the insane RoF of the 10 million damaging mortars is just plain better than both a drone and turret combined
you run legs a lot?
y
because i dont think you do... personal experience sees refactor way way more than mortar
not at all, but im always curious to try out new combos to see if I can find something different for sake of fun. Never tried it, am here to discuss whether something like that could work. 🙂
👆
want to revise
?
When you shoot at 3 enemies all close together with 1 mortar shot for every 1,5 seconds, each dealing at least 9 million damage, the burst damage to that entire group of enemies is better than Refactor
made a correction
Anybody here know if ODogs is used in incursion during wright boss fight over coyote?
If you're talking about legendary then IMO it's better to think of things in terms of encounters, not builds. First think about what specific encounter you want to deal with. Then think of a build that can deal with that specific encounter (or multiple specific encounters). If you're trying to make a creative build for all encounters then you'll be disappointed b/c generalist builds are consistently either shooting, foaming, or healing. Not much room for variety.
thats fine, but its not more viable because of that fact... you need to be good with mortar to even compete with refactor in legs... and i bet ref will still come out on top. constant damage even though its less damage adds up quick
When they are close or grouped but then they scatter. Where refactor it just tracks and shoot them, pull some agro and heal everyone.
Also refactor's value is the healing and aggro. The skill damage aspect is just a bonus.
ANYONE? HELLO. WHAT AM I?
Thank you chow 🙏
the great thing about mortars is the fact that enemies rolling around to try to dodge the mortars keep them from scattering if you start shooting at them early when they all arrive together
Things I know but also could be done differently or better with other builds.
Local is about to see why we drone on and on 
The better one is EP sticky them all
🍿🪑
They don’t move even and they won’t shoot back.
Sticky eh?
huh? you only have 1 shot then u gotta wait 20 secs to get another
i wonder if dude realizes im a mortar main 
unless u OC a lot which will take up valuable gear slots
refactor still better in legs
EP (eclipse protocol) + Sticky (Riot Foam)
i have been a mortar main as well lol
is this to spread the bleed from stickies?
Not really it’s either on slot
Any CC….
yeah i know. but bleed generally isnt great for damage from what I know, thats why im asking if this would even be worth running for bleed ticks
We’re not.. Riot Foam…
ah right yeah, brainfart mb
give this a try
yeah ive seen, its insane CC
With support damage due to Setup and for skill refresh + skill buffs for the entire team with OC
the stinger hive addition looks interesting
Pretty sure local put me onto using Setup bag. I used to run creeping
Even with 0 skill damage attributes, the stinger hive packs a serious punch. Bleed will last a while too and have them go running. Except they can't because they're foamed
but for a CC build like this why would hella extra CC potential (creeping) be worth losing for perfect oppertunist?
Why creeping? Bc my dumbass didn't know the DPS guys can spread my cancer
its more about the initial foam. the initial foam is giga important unless it's a premade team.
Is it just me or is foam wildly inconsistent with the perceived radius???
with experienced players they know what im about to foam before i foam it
Like I can directly shoot a foam next to an enemy's feet and it registers maybe 25% of the time
i think if they're in certain animations you won't be able to foam them
fair points, i usually play leggos with randos so i never build around coordination
You need better The Setup so you can get survivalist!
There's a few way to run EP
eh that feels very unneccesarily minmaxy but thats just me lol
There is no fixed way to run EP why I haven't made a guide for it yet.
Trust me I've been chasing that damn unicorn for years too. Double crit matador was basically a freebie due to the CD vendor bug, double crit closer eludes me and I already have the double Regen Emp Guard knees I stole off a goober in DZ
@strong cave Why would u run The Setup instead of creeping death?
Survivalist gives 10% amp to your teammates and a team healing and crossbows to take off armor plates...
Dunno if that's min-max...
now we're talking, i gotcha!
Helping the team to delete things quicker..
20% overall increased damage to all targets marked with shotguns. Unsure if it's Amplified or just an extra 20% from all sources. I figure if the DPS guys can kill quicker, I don't need to wait 20 seconds for creeping to refresh
wouldnt more CC give the team more oppertunities to delete things without interruption from the enemies
it's 15, not 20?? or am i wrong
very valid point about the creeping cooldown
Either 15 or 20. I could be mistaking sledge
it's 15 i swear
Setup 15%
Survivalist 10%
Sledge 20%
Anywho... How to best farm for fox's prayer?
Countdown, challenging matchmaking. Target loot Overlord
Is retaliation a good method?
With how dead CD has been lately, it'll work
I am more curious what are you farming it for?
i am making an Oxy solo build abomination :=) wanna replace backpack with wyvern with creeping, then go with contractors and fox's with skill dmg and skill tiers.
this is what i got so far
🤮
hahahahah hey at least i get free foam from nades and collecting helping out hahaah
i really hate it too trust me (but I have to do it because im severely wierd with building)
its probably not gonna give me enough foams cause of the nades hahahaha
hey ya gotta f around and find out lmao
Please take technician for 6 tiers
dude thats why brazos lol. im ready to sacrifice 10% skill damage to be able to foam the enemies myself with foam nades, hence the collector chest
And do yourself a favor and run a second red core
eh. i want main dmg source to be oxy as well as it can be
Acosta's for self OC could work
plus gunner kinda makes up for a lost weapon core cause 5% extra fire rate and also faster reloads
i know i would love to, but my nades gonna run out and wont get em back. collector is every 30 seconds back. maybe im wrong tho and i should go acostas idk
Acosta's refunds your grenade
only once per 60 secs 😭
But you also get extra grenade capacity with Acosta’s go bag
still. when they run out im useless
Real 💯 11 grenades go brrrrr
no more foam go brrrr when im outta nades and dont regen as collector does
plus extra grenade radius from collector is huge
Then don’t just spam them. Utilize the grenade refund talent from Acosta’s and use your grenades only when needed
@subtle bluff Can Acostas bag help me keep a consistent supply of foam nades for my Oxy build? then i dont need disgusting ahh brazos pieces
bro how often do u need to foam? like all the damn time lol
I also lose creeping death man
Even if you have both riot foam grenades and riot foam chem launcher, it’s not required to use either for every single encounter/fight
mm fair
but creeping death being lost 😭
Then you’ll have to choose between grenade refund/capacity bonus or creeping death talent
what u think?
cause the trade off also give me glass cannon
Well with glass cannon, it could work. Riot foam any hostiles then spray them while they can’t do anything
I just use riot foam to force enemies out of cover or to disable them for a bit
the intent of the build is that i wanna use Oxy as much as possible
The Oxy? First time I’m hearing of it ngl
oxidizer
Oooh
Oxidizer chem launcher is kinda niche imo. It can be useful, but it’s kinda situational
If you want to utilize the oxidizer chem launcher more often, prioritize skill damage/haste and skill tiers
This should be a sign 
😂
hey i wanna do wierd builds and will go to any length to make em work. dont judge!
This is what I ended up with @shell walrus @strong cave
There is no real synergy when dividing up your build. Acosta has a little more synergie but I doubt itll be worth regardless
same, but cant hurt to try
You could add 2 wyvern and 2 hanna in place of the murakami/shiney. Youll end up with the same skilldamge but more duration than the current setup...
Or maybe, 2 wyvern/contractors/foxs
😎
If you use an insync shotgun itll support oxi damage similar to capacitor
True
What are you seeing for oxi ticks on the collector and accostas setups
havent tried yet im going to sleep soon lol
How many skill tiers do you have?
6
nope. want the foam nades. thats the whole point of acosta's: for free foam nades
Fair enough. Then again, Technician has Emp nades and you could run the riot foam chem launcher
lol i love how Chow just checked tf out after he saw my first failed build atttempt xD
this is supposed to be an oxy build, so cant do that, though wouldve loved to
oxidizer is chem launcher btw
I’m aware
There is a reason he checked out 
it wasn't just chow 
Tbf oxidizer chem launcher isn’t the best skill to use in general
There are better skills that outclass it
are the blacklisters kneepads of any note or is it just another gimmicky exotic that's niche or shows no usage potential?
niche at best
we'll see if anyone finds a way to use them but for now they're not worth the tradeoff
taking 600% more amp damage is super fun
trust
inb4 they release a new set that heals the team based on damage YOU take
or gives bonus armor
nah there's no way it's worth it
If I could only change it's core...
They’ll be great for some random niche challenge about taking damage any season might have 💀
i asked this question earlier but i got a better pic, where do i even begin on making a better build?
i dont have the highest damage nor the highest armor im kind of lost
Use the build hub, pinned in this channel
In build hub start with the Farm guide
i’m getting back into the game. need some help getting billy back up.
build this and don't die. This game has reached such a deplorable state that one build is better than all of them.
thanks
who told you that build is "better" than all of them?
Pick a build from this list:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-nOwUSECa-1iLhET-mW04u6oMBdIdMjFjB2Ie25ziEA/edit?usp=sharing
You can pretty much progress top to bottom if you want. There's variety within every category that you're interested in.
most players use striker for pretty much everything because it lets you kill the enemy in the shortest amount of time
every time a new gearset comes out the only thing that comes to mind is: can it beat striker?
Tipping Scales is on par with Striker. Negotiator's Dilemma has higher peak DPS potential than Striker. Headhunter builds can outcompete Striker in kills easily. Regulus headhunter can wipe entire spawns with one shot.
And that's not even talking about support builds which amplify a DPS's capabilities.
I'd also love to see you use the build you posted by yourself with all directives turned on.
true, striker forces you to shoot at the enemy to build stacks while tipping scales only requires you to shoot, you don't even have to hit an enemy
"This game has reached such a deplorable state that one build is better than all of them"
Just because you prefer to play with a different build doesn't mean that most players will follow your lead. As long as the current build is easy to use, doesn't require additional mechanics, and allows you to deal as much damage as possible, it will remain superior to the rest.
with that build I can play with all the directives enabled without any problem, at the moment I don't play with any directive because it doesn't bring me any benefit. I have everything I want and I don't need anything more. I just play for fun. I don't want to put in extra effort by adding directives to achieve the same thing.
Where would you get ammo? (with pistolero)
Do you even know what this specialization does?
It won't replenish enough ammo for you to run open world with all directives.
it gives you enough to kill someone, it depends on the player whether he is capable or incapable of killing the enemy
Open world has more than one enemy.
It's generating 97 rounds every 60 seconds.
Yeah it cannot keep up at all.
Of course it can't.
The fact that he's claiming it does is really funny.
So let's say you turn on all directives. You start with 0 ammo. How long are you going to sit in cover before you start attacking your first control point? 
it gives you enough to kill someone, the enemy will drop ammo,you can switch from your main weapon to your pistol anytime you run out of bullets
till it reaches 900+ rounds....
Most likely yes. I wait several minutes before attacking on heroic in the summit
Haha or a smoke break
tbf this argument/debate is very weird because no one is running that build on 5 directives, it works with 4 - pistolero if its 5 open world you're gonna run a pistol build
That's actually my point. He's saying it's the "best" build but my point is that "best" is determined (ahem) based on the content/context.
saying it can run 5 directives is a bit ludicrious but its a solid build for 4 and under
Oh and he said the game is deplorable because it's the only build to run.
OD, nego, hh, hhf?
if that's your preference to stay in cover for 10 minutes, you can do it, the game allows you to, or you can use the gun to kill someone and get bullets. I feel like I'm talking to a wall. :))))
Y'know what can run at 5 directives with you holding down the left button? My beloved OD
Exactly. OD is perfect for all directives. And you don't need to waste time pew pewing enemies with a pistol to replenish some ammo.
And if you're in a team you now allow all of your teammates to run whatever they want.
So it's fair to say OD is "best" for all directives. Or headhunter.
Yes you can replenish ammo by killing enemies with a pistol. Which is really inefficient compared to NOT having to do that. I can clear a control point way faster than you with a headhunter build on all directives.
tbf this is just what I run on 5 directives
dont play it all too often but it works a charm
sick
I just prefer optimized HEs for open world, strikers peak is nice but it also bars you from just running whatever guns you happen to enjoy at any given time. + any HE build optimized has more than enough damage for any open world activity
Strikers feels like something you only really want for legendaries or incursion/raids
For missions I can see it but what am I really saving time wise by running strikers vs a HE build ultimately so it’s just like use HE for enjoyment
i want to add that i know some people would prefer to run survivalist instead of gunner for pistolero as well due to the on demand ammo regen from cover to cover, but idk if it's worth it
Hotshot with survivalist is so great cause a simple cover to cover even for a split sec gives you 5 round to which you could just keep playing off of too
well its faster than tugging one out for 10 mins
Almost like the game has variety. Holy moly.
no never, strikers is end all be all
🤯
strikers is just easy to build when ur a new player and its viable in almost every content
strikers is the foundation u need to slowly branch away from it and explore other builds
no i mean i haven't played with it enough to know if the regen rate is high enough, but if you know it is high then it's worth discussing as well
agreed but its wild to call it the best build compared to everything else
This is the evil meta people think meta players are
yea ik, its just very good at contents where u have high density of enemies while they are also being a sponge
I don't care what you can and can't do. Don't try to force a comparison between me and you. In pve you can do whatever you want. If you prefer to finish a checkpoint with all the directives in the shortest time possible, then do it. I don't want to sweat for something I don't want.
Oh fs you can speed run early game with strikers no issue that’s what I did for all my friends lmao, stuck em on strikers and St Elmo’s then let them build stuff later
I don't really believe in "best" build but if you made me choose it would be this. It allows you to play more aggressive which means faster clears (including solo legendary).
the problem is you gave really shit advice to a new player, thats the issue with tihs
hell yea brother i mean the point is to quickly put together a build that is viable for endgame content
strikers does that really well
You called the game deplorable. A game that has a ton of build variety compared to other games. You said that to a new player which leaves a very bad (and wrong) impression.
saying its the best build you can get in the game is highly wrong and may impact how he plays in the future
That wasn't a shit advice, it was reality.
🤦♂️
it's a good build, hell I use it myself but saying its the only viable option? brother lets be real
and I won't change my mind, the game is in a deplorable state
just because you lack the creativity to branch out of strikers doesnt mean you have to force that onto newer players
no its not, the game has alot of diversity when it comes to how you build ur dps build
granted, striker is REALLY optimal for incursion, but its not the only option for raid either
some would run HE builds so they dont need to bother with stacks
Considering the state of some games out there....Division 2 is in a very good state.
Its a healthy 7 year old game
Yoooo look at all of us agreeing for once
much of legendary which is a big part of endgame content, striker is actually not the best build either
United against the forces of stupid
john division
I didn't force anyone to use a single build, striker, for beginners, is very good and easy to use
uh oh rivens gonna get you
thou shalt not summon who shall not be named
Div2 could be in a much worse place. We could have weird anime crossovers and people dressed as Homer Simpson running around...
its very easy to obtain and quite strong yes but you then said "This game has reached such a deplorable state that one build is better than all of them." aka referencing the one you advised him to build
when said build is no where near better than some others, in which we have explained and you refuse to accept
honestly i wish i could convince my friends to branch out of strikers for open world activities where u dont need all that damage
but theyve been stuck with strikers like glue 
throwing this opinion onto a newer player is a very big problem because you are essentially telling them to get stuck on strikers for the rest of their playtime
1886 headhunter is therapy for striker addicts
Strikers is the base, its versatile and easy to farm. Can be built several different ways that all work the same way. Its recommended for new level 40s for those reasons.
Not because its the best
d50 headhunter hunters fury 
honestly it's part they already have 1 build that can do everything, part they don't know how much faster or comfy other builds can do it. you can show them gameplay of how content is done with those other builds, if you show the right videos of how much faster they can be they might make the switch
yeah 1886 hh is like the easiest switch from a striker only main pov
the enemy is typing
unless you get em to run it without determined
yeah you show them regulus instead, then they'll actually have to rack their brains
and I'm not going to change my mind, striker is so versatile that you can use it for almost anything,easy to use, easy to build, after you get bored with it, you can build something else
Bashing their head on the keyboard to get one of those hot takes from the back of the skull probably
gotcha I'm not gonna change my mind that you gave shit advice (not the build the attached braindead opinion)
have a good one
well i mean they just like dps in general and idk st elmo works too well with strikers tbh
most contents we play in: incursion, cd, raids are absolutely viable for strikers soo yea there werent any incentives to try out different builds
which meant im on healing duty 24/7 (i enjoy FI debuffs anyways)
Show them Nego
Us lowly DPS players are thankful for your service oh wise healer
This is da wae
It is da wae
FI is goated with the setup due to the amount of amps you can apply to one enemy its absurd 
at least healing in div2 with FI its not just dropping heals occasionally but u can also contribute to damage
SOOO.... Here's my thought.
Farm striker up first so you can do CD well and keep the striker build around for when it's needed.
new players should start with glass anyway
i mean they probably play open world solo too and that's where those other builds would shine
the Ol'e pavement kisser
unless they only get on for co-op then yeah idk it's really just self-motivation-dependent
naw we are usually in a party 
im the one solo branching out especially for builds to support my teammates and idk myself with more build diversity
Make them use PGC and stop using healer.
They'll soon change 🤣
I tried doing rmm healing and constantly had to switch to dps because it was just taking far too long
I do not have the strength to endure that torture
i'm just taking their pov, they wouldn't take pgc because the default obliterate still works and it's not like they'd be speedrunning or wanting challenge for pgc to be relevant
im just on healing duty when its leg, cd, etc...
otherwise for open world content they can manage on their own while i go have fun with HF blue core 
Some people just develop a default comfort level.
As AP says, if it ain't broken they won't fix it
i started a friend off on pgc and he trusted me enough to stick with it
now he's really really good at staying upright and its not his main game
tbf it really is a sink or swim lesson
adapt or die brother
Let your friends experience the glory of actually having supports in a team
When my friends went from pure strikers to support/roles in a party all our clears went twice as fast lmao
I think they have experienced this tho from what he's said, but trouble is they dont try healing themselves so he's stuck into running it
Bashing your head against a mission on 4 red builds without changing strategy is the canon dark souls experience in div 2
OOF, I have the semi inverse issues of them never wanting to run any DPS so I’ve been the DPS slave for months now lmao
i swear im gonna make these idiots use FI if it wasnt "kinda" difficult to put together
coz setup bp with skill repairs and haste alr on it
Do you even need all that skill repair, I ran like 0 skill repair and as long as they weren’t standing with their arms open for the bullets they were fine
If it gets that bad a chem shot does the trick
hey 20% is 20% better chance of sustain during lovebird dps phase 
if i go healer u bet ur ass im gonna chase for all that stats
Just use MA dog 💀 , it hard cancels the drone when they spawn it so you just get to freely wail on em to death straight
In fact it’s so potent it kills the sniper turret mid toss
And the box
sure but if ur lucky FI is still better if u wanna one phase them
yeah but you gotta kind of force them into change, otherwise you're gonna be stuck as healer for the foreseeable future
No I mean it will literally stun lock them into attempting to respawn the drones non stop
The lovebirds will not leave the center lmao
if you're always gonna heal because you have the unicorn they will never adapt
lowkey will try MA on incursion 
It cooks dog I’ll see if I can get footage for you later this week
You can even kill the kid mid chase phase by just throwing a hive at it
So wipe the adds and throw the hive out, skip all the middle work of shooting it
its fine i can do heals reliably and i enjoy healing on hard content
i dont enjoy healing on contents with minimal threat like heroic missions or open world tho 😭
You need the backpack CDR to be able to loop them
u most likely run the bp anyways coz thats kinda the point of MA
yeah this I can understand for the hard stuff like incursions n shit but you gotta put the foot down at some point surely
Since MA hard kills anything that counts as an enemy deployed skill (funny enough even BT mini tanks)
i lowkey thought it would kill the dogs but nothing happened
I WISH MAN
too OP frfr
I’ve seen it cancel Martinez’s mortar flare call but inconsistent
ok now imagine MA killing skills every 0.5s
razorback hardwired jammer be damned
I feel like DH is the reasoning behind this lol
But either way you get to kill Johnson so the fight is 95% done in 2 hive tosses
high key
buddy and lucy would be COOKED
Tbh tho I think our group is dumb since we always just burst Johnson down first
"hey man we one shotting?" "nah lemme just change loadout rq"
But if we just lower Martinez’s health too we can 1 phase them without dealing with Martinez at all
idk what happened to shooting johnson first coz the incursion pubs i went into theyd always shoot the FAT GIRL first
and the THIN BOY later
to be fair fat girl is great at rage baiting people
Despite being like the single weakest raid boss I’ve ever fought
*shows image of martinez
incursion pubs: yo fat girl
martinez: not what im called!!
Anyone got a good Medic/Support build recommendation?
But yeah I’ll try to get some footage for you so you don’t get scammed going into it later lmao, it does cook but if the pubs don’t know what’s going on they’ll run from Johnson lmao
🤔 FI healer
check google sheets on how to build it
Bonus points you get free overclock so you can dump out a Smart Cover for team wide 35% DTOOC too
And you can run BTSUs on top of it for extra memes
my bad g the smart cover is locked behind BFB 😔
i kinda wish smart cover retained its effects for like 3-5s after ur not taking cover
like how div1 sowrked
Overclocked Achilles is good too tho
Above
one time, a player who put on one shot build wanted to 1 burst the dps phase for wright
but bro was the only one with the 1 shot build while everyone is running strikers, and if we shoot anywhere while the achillies mark is on, it removes his mark
(not to mention iirc u usually need the achillies mark OC'd to deal huge damage)
so everyone has to wait for him to pop the achillies mark, while at the same time people could have just shot him and one phased him
when you say overclocked do you mean overcharged or is it a talent? (i vaguely remember a talent being called this)
The overcharged state of the skills (for some reason I’ve always referred to it as overclocked)
ahh gotcha all good
If it’s misleading to call it overclock I’ll change the way I say it
Um.. OC Achillies doesn't do more than 0 Skill Teir Achillies
nono my first thought was you saying overcharge
so it just gives more marks to shoot at?
I just thought I had a huge oversight on that overclock talent
I think it just gives more zones + more zone health on Overclock so it’s still nice regardless
+15% amp on pulsed targets 😎
sometimes you need the headshot zone for them double dips
Sorry chef I’m a exotic gun enjoyer I’ve never used a gun that isn’t ACS12 for utility
Do you have anything else that puts in damage a bit since I have a similar one like this and its kinda Passive playstyle close to Div1 Reclaimer
No idea about Div 1 stuff
no i mean pulse OC gives u +15% damage amp on pulsed targets
Oh shit that’s wild
If you want to be hybrid go Refactor
Well simply put it that its just too Passive and letting the Hive do 90% of the work
It's not..
Plus teammates doesn't tend to stay in 1 place
If you didn't read the guide FI is the mai support.
uh, u have the chem launcher for that
hive is useful for when u need to lock down a zone
or pop OC to reset your teammates revive hives
That build is the Meta support build
Alrighty then
miss me with those heals. i just want that juicy amp.
you can sit in a corner for all i care
me and my 3 different amp sources on a healer build of all things 😎
if that isnt busted op, idk what is
You want to be actively shooting targets with Scorpio and use grenades with lefty to apply massive global debuffs to the enemies. Chem foam also lets you heal people who aren’t in hive/need an emergency top off
...CHEM FOAM?!
I don’t even know what it’s called dog 💀
if the team doesn't need much healing just run a booster hive
In fast leggo's I'm on Foam on FI
I call them chem foam, riot foam, burn cloud, and oxi foam lmao
reinforcer chem launcher 😂
foam is the riot foam for cc
you dont heal tm8s with your goo?
CHEM FOAM COUNTS
FOAM IS THE ELEPHANT GLUE
REINFORCER IS THE HEALER OMG
Just trying something new, too much Striker and Heartbroken 😅
40 mike mike
heartbroken 💔
I heal my teammates with the sticky green glue
We are not the same
its a gas canister that gaslights ur teammates into thinking they are at full hp
Bonus points if it also ensnares them
bro is a sleeper agent working for BT
there are plenty of builds in the Build Hub you want to look
Sure
i like the random OC i get from MA causing me to foam myself due to the increased range
Nah trust bro I’m trying to put ensnare bullets on my homies ouro trust
Part of the plan
the sticky bullets would jam up their guns tho
nuh uh combustion
It’s preparing them for the next season with the amped to ensnared trust
the goo launcher
It heals the enemies 
i remember reinforcer chem used to heal the enemies for some unknown reason 
Can I make Aegis work in small scale PVE?
Unfortunately it's just trash
Sad days
@hidden moss That's not entirely true, you CAN get it to work for small scale PvE. I've managed to created a build for it purely out of boredom and determination. The issue with the set itself is that the enemies need to target YOU for it to work, and the players that pull the most aggro are the DPS players. However, if you use the chest piece and a decoy, the chest talent allows the decoy's aggro pull to count towards the damage resistance. It will work, but you have to build it in such a way that you're better off taking Future Initiative healer, Crowd Control, or joining in with the DPS players
I'll post the setup but please note this build is NOT RECOMMENDED for serious play. You'll be doing next to nothing besides being a sledge proc and overcharging. Every yellow attribute is Skill haste, and so are the mods
Yellow rolling everything just to force an overclock is crazy dog 😭
Lastly, to wrap this up, you'll be busting your decoy frequently just to keep aggro pulled. You'll need to rely on artificer to prevent it from breaking. Plus it's for overcharging when you bust the hive, and for being useful to teammate skills. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK
hahaha
I appreciate the pure determination that went into it tho
Yea that's creativity right there
But but but but it's fun bro 🥺 decoy 10s cooldown
- every other build advice person that pops in here
I feel like we’re ignoring hardwired
We are. But hard wired doesn't give damage resis does it? 😂
What am I resisting dog the feelings of sadness 💀
Another thing you should note: yes that build requires TDI Custom
They’re not even trying to hit me
Honestly you should see a clip of it at Leggo dua, the beginning. You can run right past every enemy and not one of them will bat an eye to you
Soon as that decoy gets dropped, they ALL turn head and shoot
Can’t you pull that off with just a normal decoy anyways
I remember seeing a run where there’s a specific route that lets you use a 0 tier decoy and get past all of them without being shot
Have you ever seen an invincible decoy?
I've taught some vets that yes you can keep a decoy repaired with artificer. If it works for shields, why not other skills? 🤣
The build is just so awful and memey that I had to keep it
It’s all fun and games until a WT Chunga with special rounds shows up and nukes it instantly, that said I will be taking this build and using it
FOUND THE CLIP > #ask-td2-community message
I happen to get a Kard custom earlier during houndsman and I’m finna put it to use
Just heed my warnings, it's super bad
It’s ok it won’t beat my NBB monstrosities
Honestly the damage resistance the set gives is impressive. Pretty sure my clip showcased the resistance but I'm not sure. I can come back with more and show off just how much resistance it'll give. If I thought dropping a decoy was sufficient enough, I'd go with a defender drone as well. But that's sadly not the case and you'll be relying on busting skills when aggro is lost (+ overcharge)
Could I toss Provocator on it
Aegis chest allows for decoy. It's a must sadly
DAMN
doesn't provocator allow the decoy to have more resistence as well? or am i mistaken it?
Pretty sure it was however close to targets you are
ah, nm. maybe i misunderstood the provocator 😹
Got these two and oro, rec builds?
Hold up I actually got you
#td2-build-advice message < build here
Ravenous is niche for what it is, the talent is too specific for raid usage. PvE usage, not entirely the best but with the right build it works
Dope. Much obliged
Clip of it on action, to back up the fact it hits hard. I do have clips of it in PvE against actual enemies, it's just like any other normal rifle build
Ah ok, glad to see it’s got some viability to it
Not many are using Ouro since it got nerfed during Y6. Dark Winter has took the spot
Yeah use ravvy at mid range or close range or against super tanky enemies. The M16 I have is for looooooooong range
Ah damn ok, luckily I got one of those too lol
Stoked to see how the new gear and weapons are gonna hold out this next season
The new gearset is questionable. The new brand set is gonna be awesome. But it's not gonna slot too well on striker, definitely not the new chest + holster paired together. You'll have serious crit loss. Plus perfect oblit is only 4% better than normal oblit. Ceska is a must on striker for ARs and LMGs and Rifles (don't use rifle on striker). So you could take the new chest + 1 piece ceska for 4% better overall damage. Except you're trading coyote or overdogs which is pretty hefty of a choice to ditch either of those exotics for 4% "better damage"
I’m leaning more towards the group gear anyway. But I think it’d be fun for a tinkerer build over a meta especially strikers
Problem I'm reading into with the new set, which many are confused by, is the talent description. You have to mark the targets and your teammates have to shoot your marked targets (or skills) for you to get the benefit. That's gonna be very hard to orchestrate everyone shooting multiple targets considering everything in this game is a Single-Target damage source. Nego dilemma is an exception to this
Additionally as well, by the time you even maybe get 25% stacks, striker will have cleared the room already
You can probably mooch off the strikers players and get stacks in about 2 rooms tops no, as long as you slam out a mark and they kill it fast enough you’ll get 2 minimum
3 if multiple people happen to target something together
Brandset and Gearset
Then when the room is clear, all that damage you had to put effort in for goes bye bye
Just run Nego
Wait does it insta reset upon room clear? I thought it was like 10s a stack for decay
Sometimes it takes more than 10s to make it to the next point
You’ll be fine senor that’s like 1-2 stacks tops
I'll have to read the talent and see what the stack decay is all about
Unless it’s a boss fight with virtually no adds then yeah you’re doomed
The way it’s worded you’d assume it’s 1 per 10 seconds so not too bad?
Now it’s also 3% and 2% crit (whatever the backpack buffs it to as well) per stack so it’s honestly not a bad gear set for super long fight with lots of adds non stop I don’t think
Contributed is also a weird term cause does that mean some dude can toss a foam shot at 3 people and that counts
Concentrated Company – Gear Set
- 2 Pieces equipped: +10% Weapon Damage.
- 3 Pieces equipped: +30% Weapon Handling.
- 4 Pieces equipped unlock a new unique Talent.
Talent “Camaraderie Talent” - Shooting an enemy marks them for 7s.
- When a marked enemy dies, receive one stack of 3% Weapon Damage and 2% CHD for each Ally or Skill that has contributed to killing that enemy.
- Max stacks is 35. Stacks decay every 10s. Maximum amount of marks that can be placed is 4.
Chest and Backpack Talents:
Chest – Talent “All for One”
- Increase the amount of marks that can be placed from 4 to 8.
Backpack – Talent “One for All” - Increase the Weapon Damage bonus per stack from 3% to 5%.
Would have to see how it holds up in legendary. I don't see it performing for heroic
This maybe interesting for pesti.
If it also depletes every single stack on TP it’s doomed for open world pretty much
Now the biggest thing to note is "for each Ally or Skill that contributed to killing the enemy"
If it doesn’t even have to be a damaging skill that’d be quite huge
The wording makes me believe YOU can't be the one doing all the damage. Others have to shoot them
Wouldn’t some form of CC application be valid too
Bluescreen maybe
Like EP is an easy pick to farm stacks on for one since their vile ticks is on everyone frame 1
Or iron lung
Then you just clean up and it’s 2 stacks per kill
Chow is right too, it'll be super interesting with Pestilence
turmoil hot swap
I pray to god the stacks are visible to allies or it would actually be impossible to use
If you think about it it's a mix of HF and OD.
In my opinion it's like OD and Unstoppable force on a gearset
fair
With the mark limitation taking inspiration from Nego plus the CHD
well OD has marks
It does. But OD doesn't have a target mark cap. Nego does
It's a weird mix between alot of the meta talents we have. Super creative, I'll give the devs props on that. But in practice? I have my doubts
Yannick still isn't 1k shd yet
Bit late but it does count yourself, if yo go read the patchnotes of the PTS in the "known issues" part, it mentions exactly that the set count the player and isnt mentioned as a typo
So if I'm understanding this correctly, the set also counts towards the player wearing it, getting the kills solely by themselves?
Yes, 1 stack only
Now for allies, does it give more when they help kill?
Camaraderie Talent description does not mention that the agent themselves counts toward the stacks gained when a marked enemy is defeated
probably killing the targets you've marked
if it works the way it's "worded" it should be 1 stack per ally (not sure if ally skills count)
tag it with 2 skills that hits them that's + 2
in a perfect world i think you can get 6 stacks a kill
there's a mark limit but it doesn't say how many people can contribute
More people hitting something the more stacks you get in a kill
They seriously need to change the description to read "if YOU or an ally kills the marked target, you gain 1 stack" yada yada
I think CC still does damage even if 0
You have to shoot them. Keyword SHOOT. Iron Lung and Bluescreen can be used for Crowd Control
Even Scorpio on crowd control setups
Need to see if its counting hit or not
no no your allies
you have to shoot to apply the mark yes but it just says "contribution" so as far as the game's concerned what does that really mean
cause hitting a whole room with EMP jammer and vile is "damaging" it
Unsure. Depends on the status you're applying I think. I know there's the skill part
Because stuff like seeker mines are explosive and otherwise only turrets and drones would count for skills
I definitely see people taking Pestilence with this set
if it's the same weapon damage category as the AWD it'd be huge for tick damage too
Massive considering Pestilence scales off that
ok guys ngl MA is busted OP for lovebirds essentially stopping them from being able to deploy any skills at all 
It's only good if the group isn't good ngl
which is MA in a nutshell
id say its interaction in the lovebirds fight is really interesting if u dont struggle with the rng where johnson consistently deploys a drone every dps phase
I might consider switching to MA instead of FI just for lovebirds 
He only spams drones if you don't do enough dps
Fight is 1 phase, if not I'd rather just wipe
thats good to know
General it’s still slower than FI due to MA not have that many buffs and if the group is really bad heals can burn out.
It’s why it’s not the strat to use still. FI is faster still with most groups.
any build suggestion for sniper 1 tap and hw explosion thanks
@subtle bluff So which skill damage build can be used as an alternative to mortars in your opinion?
why not? 4pc HW and Chainkiller and Arill (can't spell the Brandset the MMR DMG one) w/Vigil.
context?
context: legendaries with randos
I'll try this aril is back pack right??
ya
thanks brother
the buidl is Hotshot build just take out hotshot for hw.
you have to balance out Red cores and HSD in the hw
the only remotely viable thing is refactor and even that is borderline
alrighty... thats the only one that reaches acceptable damage numbers? lol
skill damage builds in general are very bad for legendary missions
and ím guessing u wanna do assault turret/strike drone?
yea. and you have to aggressively place them so they actually heal.
so like push into spawn zones and drop your turret at a high position
and keep a close eye on your drone to make sure it's actually doing stuff
for sure. but the damage output of it, how is it. say if you yourself fire at a dude while both ur turret and drone is. How much DPS are we talking approximately?
i've seen so many refactor player drones stuck in narnia
I mean you've said you've done leggo enough.... To be blunt..
idk but it wont be good b/c the RPM of turret/drone is low
the reason i said refactor is b/c at least it heals
if you want pure skill damage that's primary role is damage... it doesn't exist
yeah its just I always only play like 3 builds. Whenever i go to make one i go here to ask about what experienced people's opinions are so I dont waste my time with builds that arent worth it
at least not in a way that's beneficial to your team
I see but Im still interested to see what number you reach approximately with both the drone and turret and your capacitator firing at a dude.
also you said matchmaking with randos. in matchmaking people run all sorts of dumb stuff in legendary. ninja backpacks, blue builds, chameleons, you name it.
oh dont i know it lol
so if you actually want the run to not suck you gotta go in hard
like whats the RPM of the drone? i can figure this out on my own lol
and what dmg does it do per shot
i forget. it's like 700 or something. maybe 750? no thats turret
lol okay thats fine.
the drone limitation isn't rpm. it's the flight time and how it can bug out and do nothing.
lol
by the time you send the thing and it gets there and starts shooting... hell will have frozen over
and then the default behavior of flying back to you first before going for the next target
ill take my chances, im desperate to find a different build to give novelty to this stagnating game lmao
its only stagnant for you b/c you're bad at the game
if you push yourself with hard content the skill ceiling is stupid high
(i say that as someone who's bad at the game too, welcome to the club)
HB would be so cool if they removed the pulse nonsense and instead gave armor regen and increased damage on headshots. Kinda like classified striker from div 1 but nope..
All due respect what tf do you know about it. I literally play leggos in groups often as well as with randos. I know that the skill ceiling is high. But you HAVE to realize that different players desire different things out of an ARPG like this. What gives me novelty these days in Div2 is not getting any better at fighting the enemies, but rather finding new builds to do it.
I have used all the legendary viable ones that dont include team support or healers.
i'm only taking issue with the "stagnant" comment - a day before they release a major patch
honestly based on what you said, the questions you asked, the builds you posted - i don't believe you lol
HB isn't that bad. Armor regen.. is worse than it's bonus armor.
im not arguing how the game feels for you. im just saying that personally i need new build setups to make the game interesting for me
like how do you not know skill damage builds don't work in leggo
it's easy napkin math
because I havent tried them. that wont disuade me from trying to find one that might. You can say that im fishing for it here.
It's not hard to put on build and try them out in CD.
you mean my oxi setup? Yeah it's quite situational at best, but it was worth the fun of experimenting. That's the point im making. Different people get different things out of this game.
maybe i'm jaded from having to drag oxi players through it (in matchmaking)
possibly
while you're foofing around someone is trying to hard to do the mission
literally why i am here, to not ruin someones leggo attempt with experimentation. i am empathetic of not ruining someone else's run.
So pls dont make such assumptions
respect
but i can defo see where the irritation can arise from hahah i have been there myself having to carry
Or bonus armor, I just don’t like the pulse mechanic. And you can’t get any more bonus armor once you’re at full stacks.
It's not that bad it's how it's a balanced.
what i don't get about HB is why they made it not stack on minitanks
and other proxies for that matter
sounds like a hate speech towards clankers
THAT 110
My HB experience on leggo being a "tank"
OH Hi mini tank runs else where lets the whole team deal with it instead.
it felt very band-aid for the root issue of "we don't want people to build bonus armor on decoys"
whats screwed is in PVP you can stack striker on decoys along with heartbreaker. plus if you shoot the center of the decoy, it will proc EB tenacity
wait wah...
yes, thats a thing in pvp. its why you dont leave your decoy lying around when someone is using striker or HB
youre giving them free stacks by doing so
yeah i know striker still does that, it's why i said it felt band-aid because striker can do it when HB can't
Probably 90% sure the answer is no but in leggos, can stinger hive in any scenario give helpful damage with a skill damage build?
depends.. but mostly no
factor in the fact you cant even pulse minitanks either, it really is just striker with extra steps morty meme here
wtf does snowfall do lol
Makes enemies look pretty while they burn to death
Serious note. Using EP burn with snowfall is pretty funny
doesnt the snow put out the fire? 
now heres the real questions hahah
Snow can't melt steel.....wait no, I take it back.
this is exactly the build advice im looking for 😹
Watching enemies swat at snowflakes while they burn is pretty funny
Pretty sure steel resists ice, and steel is super effective on ice
Ice is super effective against dragon though.
Should make killing Fay Lau easier
WHATS UP BUILD ADVICE CHANNEL
The sky
r/technicallythetruth
We shall not talk about reddit. It is a silly place.
On that we have full agreement
use striker
please refer me to the pinned sheet
All yellow striker?
sure
I've done it
based rainbow striker
Did that too....
if you need one I can hook you up
want an aegis decoy build too?
What's the best talent for stack broker?
Try Brazen
Can also try fast hands, helps the downtime on strikers. (also makes slower WPNs like Rifles become viable.)
Finally finished it off. So what is the best PvP build for this.
Thank you
I just wonder amor regen on umbra , on google it says it synergize with weapon damage - shall i use weapon damage, armor regen or how does it work by gaining stacks armor when battle , i know it works in cover , regain health, armor....
I now have armor, armor regen
Does this include extra weapon dmg for allies?
Pretty sure unless the Talent adds allies it is just for the wearer.
only reason i have crossbow is because i haven't unlocked MG and i still like to snipe some. or at least enter with explosive crossbow and do the rest with LMG
What am I looking at right now
Turret in countdown is a big no
i was just told to share my current setup 😅
Bubble if you want to run the lmg, use contractors gloves,
oh i was doing it for high dps
Insanely easy to get in countdown
i have contractor gloves too
For high dps run backfire fr ong
My beloved
what's backfire?
Exotic smg
dont have it
If u dont have it run the vector
Yeah ^
But first of all dont use turrets in countdown
mm i dont have vector either. i dont do well with smgs lmao
what do i switch to?
Reviver hive is a must
For the last round with the hunters
oh..i dont even have that unlocked...
Riot foam?
Should have it unlocked. Ur lv 300
i'll go unlock em right now. should be able to unlock both
so reviver hive replaces turret and riot foam replaces shield?
So I only have a striker build maxed out. I’m looking for 2 other builds to focus on and max out to have some variety with legendary missions. Does anyone have a suggestions?
Shield is ok, just replace the turret
@kind epoch in countdown just run any build you want tbh, your teamates will do fine 99% of the time
I usually just run things I need to expertise
Im just pointing out the turret bc the hunters are gonna hack it and use it against him
ohhh yeahhhh that toooo
Why is turret in Countdown a big no?
because hunters likes to take it over and kill your team
same with drone
Oh yeah that would be bad. I never even use skill in Countdown really, it's just run as fast as you can and gun everything down
Countdown is really just 3 Builds, all red Striker/Tipping Scales with high DMG LMG or Bluescreen Dilemma
don't forget OD helps a lot in there
Ok Countdown is 4 builds but you only need one OD in each team
there's also a few players that take healer build to cd and it's really nice
Best way to counter hunters in countdown is with status effects
I have honestly never seen healer in Countdown
Really? I run it every time, since I afk basically I make sure to run 4 pieces at least and put down a hive and a drone to chase someone.
healers are so good when they show up in cd runs
That’s how I make up for being afk, lol
Fr thoughhh, or just any mission in general, you could legit be brain dead asf and they’ve got your back
I really don't pay attention much when running it I just follow and shoot lol
Check the chests and then shoot more
nods when i run it i tend to just follow the crowd and shoot what they shoot 😹
i appreciate the service of healer players but if only they could respectfully KEEP MY FI BUFF UP
you dont need heals when every everything is stuck to the ground 
is that a new emoji
one from my server
Not fair he get's to use them here..
let's just say Local is hacking discord and call it fair
at least they are game specific
