Thats the way to go Nex
I can have 285dps and 440stam,but my skill would be just 6k,which is not good in todays dz/incursions,so i rather loose dps.My main aug (crafted) is ideal for NPC's,so it doesnt feel liek im loosing dps.
Still havent decided what will do after 1.3 as i need to see all new stuff first.Saving all creds,mats ect.
When you come online message me NEX,if im not watching footie we can do some dz/fc/cs

If you don't mind me asking, Mario. What are the stats and mods on the weapon you use in order to get to that level of DPS and still retain 440k toughness?

Just found this on official ubi forums, tho its not an actual dev post, couple of interesting things if true that I hadnt heard before:

OP - http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...mp-it-was-Amazing!-Some-things-u-need-2-know?

*You'll be able to convert 3 gold div tech into any gold Material. (BIG NEWS)

*The new gear sets are guaranteed to drop in darkzone bracket 230+ (both in supply crates and the dz) but only a chance of them dropping in dz brackets 201-228. (confirmed new bracket i guess)

*Gear sets will come with a guaranteed mod slot now with Chest pieces always dropping with 2 mod slots. This rule does not apply to gloves though

anyone online I need to calibrate some stuff.

Mario · 26 Jun 2016 at 19:29

tek - here is what im using on that Aug from BoO (im not using it as primary weapon,as i rolled much better one tho,less DPS,but has way more punch):flash hider 20%acc 36%crit dam,small grip 22%acc 51.5% horiz stabil,extended magazine 100.5% mag size,29.7%fire rate,small RDS scope 22% head.dam 8% crit chance,on gear using stamina with crit% and fire with crit as well,that goes with 3centry,2strike + savage gloves (if my memory serves me right) - but im not using this setup due to very low skill,what dps will do if you can heal yourself? i run into this problem quite a lot and i rather have less dps but have constant overheal

I completed all my preparation for 1.3 earlier. Aside from saving crafting materials, I think I'm done. Try as I might, I can't seem to push my dps to 300k and have my toughness at 400k, so this will have to do -

60% crit hit chance
148% crit damage
110% head shot dam
75% damage mit

Now to wait and see how badly my setup is destroyed next week.

How have you got so much armour on your holster and a mod slot?

Will be missing Main stat/s similar to me i run my holster with no electronics as for me it's pointless. This frees me up to have another major atrib.

im quite opposite,after running a while without skill,i just cant stand when you cant overheal yourself,died to easily even with 280k dps.After 1.3 i will try to get 20k skill on dps build at least.

I only play in a group and our builds are complimentary the main guy i play with is an amazing healer and i have healing from other sources. I find myself personally going down not all to often. Unless in a pub group unfamiliar to myself.

In our usual 3 man we work quite well. However i expect this will all change Tuesday

! With that in mind i play with 480k toughness and around 180k dps on my shottys. 75% mitigation helps me a lot.

Yep, dead on.

@Mario cheers for the info. Comparing it to mine now

Nexus18 · 26 Jun 2016 at 20:29

Yup another one here who can't live without at least 15k skill now. It is just too useful

TheF34RChannel · 26 Jun 2016 at 20:41

Same; out of necessity I lived with 9K but now at 21K and it's wonderful!

GAM8LE · 26 Jun 2016 at 21:01

Good skill is still vital to a dps build, even if it is purely for healing yourself. 20k is spot on or thereabouts.

Things like smart cover etc can still be useful in tight situations but this where a dedicated team member can step in for that, with your overheal as backup.

Think that's why many grind for an epic holster

Not on much tonight again, got distracted doing a few things around the house to leave Tues and wed free for 1.3.

TheF34RChannel · 26 Jun 2016 at 22:42

Thanks Gamble for letting me try out that M44 on you, what a fantastic weapon!

I didn't expect you'd go down with a single shot to be honest.

Nexus18 · 26 Jun 2016 at 23:08

Right, definitely settling with this gear for now until Tuesday lol....

Could really do with a nice 240 holster, it would probably improve my stats "overall"

Fyi, to repeat the epicness of that weapon:

460k toughness on my dps build and I went down in one headshot....

We should have tried the 611k toughness build as well as I reckon I would have went down in one as well! Even with the 50% edr on it

I'll come on tomorrow eve, briefly, just for that and we give it a go yeah?

For those who may be curious: Custom M44 204, Brutal, Deadly, Vicious, Explosive ammo, pulse. We weren't sure if the Explosive ammo made a difference as Gamble said he went down before the explosive animation.

I've been thinking long and hard about the build I'll be chasing come 1.3 and I have decided upon 4 B.L.I.N.D. & 2 Final Measure 24/7. It fits the style I'd like to play and the new gear sets certainly facility playstyles rather than raw stat increases. Ideally the FM's would have to be a vest and kneepads for all sorts of reasons (in short; additional highest EDR & keeping highest Skill Power) when swapping gear on the fly but since I won't be doing that, and the latter look rather ugly IMO I'm going after the mask and holster, and see if I can get additional EDR on other pieces. It might keep me in the 73% range rather than the 90% I was hoping to get but that is fine; I need to keep my skill power above 20K because I'll be relying on my pulse (for the former set) and overheal. And to be honest, 73% is pretty amazing as it is! I think the two sets compliment one another perfectly. The 2 piece might be subject to change depending on what the other sets will bring, however I admit to being an FM addict. What a welcome change 1.3 is gear set-wise!
