Cheers man, purchased!
Hey chanjy, good news that you've bought the Season Pass


Tried a full Tac build last night, was AWESOME in a group in the DZ!! Getting 60k+ Skill power is lush

Cheers man, purchased!
Remember that the toughness is not everything. I would take 2 Final Measure for the resilience above a random piece with a slightly higher armour score.
I'd say you probably have one too many pieces rolled towards firearms - maybe 2x firearms, 3x stamina, and the 3 stat holster would be a better balance.
Flash; can you show your primary DPS instead?
Also, you now have random single pieces on, focus on doing 2 sets for running the DZ as Gamble suggested, pref. with 2 Final Measure's to get the Exo DMG Res. Gamble's plan is solid, I'm doing just that however RNG isn't kind on me at all ha ha!
Flash. I don't have current screenshots of my builds but here are two I was messing with last week which meet your DPS/toughness requirement:
The top screenshot matches what Chanjy said as this gives you exotic damage resilience with the two piece final measure but I had two tacticians and two sentrys which could easily be changed for strikers, or whatever. Take a look at how I have everything rolled for Stamina and Firearms.

This one is the same loadout as I run for my current DPS but I have replaced a few bits and bobs to get higher stats.
Main things to note with my DPS build - the actual DPS figure is buffed up by gear set bonuses. As soon as I equip 2 piece sentrys, it shoots up due that bonus, then the three piece strikers really pushes it up due to that bonus.
I also keep final measure gloves on me with this build to get exotic damage resilience.

Overall - the 2/3 set bonuses are worthwhile as they automatically give DPS a boost for free basically which your loadout is currently lacking so that could be a starting point for DPS. (Sentrys/Strikers)
Now that I have seen your loadout, I am sticking with my original statement of get in a group and grind DZ/Incursions etc/Supply drops and build up a collection of stuff to put together without rerolling.
I am 100% certain you will find some stuff you can put on straight away without having to roll it and it will benefit you.
Also, I am more than happy to grind the DZ with you, and share every gear piece I get(unless its a mask - that's mine lol)
Strikers/sentrys & tact really are the foundation to good set-ups, unfortunately FL CM is the best source of them xD
The whole loadout above, minus the sentrys backpack came from the DZAll level 240 by farming supply drops in DZ6/5

I need to PvP more, most people I play with just want to farm. Farming lost its appeal a little after I hit dz75
All my gear is mainly rolled towards stamina and armor more than Firearms, not much actually rolled firearms, I was just too obsessed with trying to get high toughness and armor and didn't actually think about much else which is why I appear to be in this predicament.
I think that's what it is, I've gone for too many singular pieces which only help one bit rather than spec into a more balanced build.
More importantly, you're not getting any set bonuses this way. You wanted to do DPS, right? I would advice 3 Sentry's & 3 Striker's then (incursion rewards, DZ supply drops). However, if you want protection from those flamers do 2 & 2 and 2 Final Measure's (DZ drops). I've been running both setups quite happily.
You'll have to start anew, yes, as am I and still in the early collecting stage too. Only farm and take supply drops from DZ 05 & 06, 240s is what you want.
Then, buy the DZ 04 stamina, firearms, electronics mod (level 32 items, DZ Rank 75) in that order.
We'll get you there buddy![]()

So you reckon start a new character or just collect things as I'm going on?
I do appreciate all the help guys, if there's anything you need, I'll be more than happy to help!
