I can't seem to get to grips with the Survivability stat. Is there a "sweet spot" that people tend to aim for, or is best to go for a balanced, high as possible dps/svr mix? Presently I'm 250/250 give or take a bit. I don't feel much different to how I did pre 1.2; squishy.

Cheers.
 
250 toughness is pretty low especially if you are not 75% mitigation witch is something people aim for as the defense it gives you grows exponentially not linearly. Though this EDR may change things.
 
How does everyone get the gear that they have?

I am having a really hard time trying to find better gear. Last night I did the HVTs dallies solo to what I am able to do (all except level 32 mob ones) and I got greens but stats are crap.

I went in to the DZ for a few hours and again got caches and greens but nothing that increases my dps\stamina.

I did FL run on hard and again, got greens but again crap stats!

I'm coming on in the evenings and getting to a point where I don't know what to do s nothing is giving me any better gear. think my stats are not good for CS so haven't ran it since patch was released.

any tips? DZ rank is 53 other stats are 208k DPS 160K toughness

I'd say DZ 201+ but you really need some more toughness for that, your dps is ok, I was struggling till I went farming dz, but I had 200k dps, 277k toughness, & still got squashed a lot.

Stam/armour mods all the way if you can, & roll armour as major attrib on all the big pieces ( chest/knees/backpack/holster), if you have the recipe from the dz for 32 stam thats best, but the 31 I think u can get from boo now? The way I do it is if it gives me more toughness than I lose up to a certain point its worth it, say if a piece gives me 20k toughness but I lose 10k dps I can live with that, would try not to drop under 180k dps if possible tho.

Why are you measuring your improvement only in DPS / Stamina ?

The whole point of this game is to put together a build. The gear set items have different set bonus's depending upon how many you equip.

If you're going for a DPS build (which at 280k DPS and only 160k toughness I guess you are) then one of the most popular builds is the 3-2-1 build. 3 piece striker, 2 piece sentry (for extra HS damage from sentry and extra Crit Dmg from striker) and the 1 is some 204 savage gloves since these give +13 crit chance to targets out of cover.

Once you get some decent gear, the next step is to start making a character build.

There is also another build that revolves around using shotguns and the 4 piece striker set since shotguns build the striker damage buff really quickly (usually in 3/4 shots) You could combine that striker 4 piece with another 2 piece such as maybe the lonestar for extra ammo or 2 piece tactician for extra skill power.

Marcostyle on youtube put together a tactician build that has maximum armor, all health and uses the 4 piece tactician set to maximum skill power with 550k + toughness which makes him an absolute tank, but still with high skill power.

Once you've got good pieces, the next progression is building a well thought out character build rather than just random set pieces.
 
For the SMG and AR I'm thinking of replacing the extended / heavy magazines with ammo cap and rate of fire for the same but with weapon dmg instead of rate of fire. I'm wondering which is better and if the dmg percentage needs to be higher than the rate of fire percentage to make the weapon do more dmg? I'd say so, if that's even possible...? I suspect rof will do more dmg simply because you get more bullets out albeit with lower dmg.
 
after a long time i did rage quit dz yesterday :(
only after i calmed down return and with momo stir whole sector and made them chasing us through whole DZ :D

Sniper rifles - I use damage

SMG/AR - I use ROF

LMG - Use ROF + damage (no extra ammo)
 
Well you can see the stats - 29% ROF vs 11% damage so you will be doing more dps with the ROF unless you miss a lot more with the ROF mag on.
 
im thinking of getting back into this, need to look at this new patch now. Any tips on what's now key regarding loadout stats? Best ways to achieve good gear etc.

I would say to collect gear and put together a loadout you are happy enough with for running DZ/Missions etc I believe you had good DPS before so focus on toughness to make your survivability in the DZ better.

Sentrys and Strikers are still epic combinations, and if you are more of a support player, Tacticians is also still the best to go for with 2 final measure from the new set for resilience.

I will be on in about 10 minutes and don't mind running through anything :)
