haha it feels like a brand new game in terms of mechanics etc - same fundamentals apply for a balanced build though, even down to good skill attributes but now its balanced.

Only exception really is armour, that is very different from 1.3.

First time in about four weeks, and since the patch today/ I have no idea what's good, what's bad, what I should keep and what I should change/get rid of. Happy days!

same here, not played in months and been back 4 days.

My rule of thumb at the moment, if it makes my stats go up I keep it

Likewise!

Not going out of my way to have matching gear sets anymore, not when it reduces my stats overall significantly, at this rate, I will be back on all yellow gear!

That EAD is awesome Rad

Hey Rad, here's my Preds setup;



Not as awesome an EAD (I'm at 30% and 17% DTE) but a nicely balanced build I feel


edit - DPS upto 261k now, switched to a VX 12x Scope

Looking like a very nice build there

Just started checking over my gear properly, wow recal on kneepads to armour is really worth it now, before it gave about 200-250 armour iirc, now its 1000-1200.

Quick question about gear sets - why 2 piece nomad specifically? HoK important with the 60 sec heal cd? dps not really needed on 2 piece?

Quite lost with things still, despite a few hours in game. What's the recommended crit chance value now? Mine seems to have halved since the update.

 

[Raiden85]

Finally thanks to that stamina mod blueprint I could craft a few decent ones, got my toughness up a bit. Armour mitigation is now at 57.9%

Got hold of a better pear of savage gloves so upped my DPS as well.

Crits are dead now; don't invest in either of them, instead invest in flat damage.

Very nice rad!!

So buying stam and fa bp's is needed after the rotation, can do! Peeps, don't listen to skill up his buyer's guide; he's often so wrong - recommending crit mods, x15 scopes for MMR's etc.

There goes my high crit, self preserved build I'll have to reroll my weapon talents. Is destructive still worth it?

For PvE I'd go for all or either of these: brutal, destructive, responsive / ferocious. (short range / long range, respectively).

Why is crit dead now?

 

[El Jimben]

Why is crit dead now?

From what I gather, I think it's pretty much impossible to get anywhere near enough crit chance to make it worth speccing into.

 

[Nexus18]

Doesn't pulse and one of the survivor skills increase crit chance as well as damage though?

 

[JediFragger]

Yes, but pulse have been severely nerfed

 

[Nexus18]

Urgh looks like it is time to equip a new skill then Any suggestions?

 

[neil_g]

I'm sticking with pulse for the time being personally. It still does what I want. But then I was never maxing it pre 1.4 so probably not seeing the nerf.

Is it me or are brutal/fierce/deadly dropping more regular? Got a nice aug yesterday with 2 and an even better mp5 today with all 3.

Finally found an ar to replace the ak74 too, had a nice drop on a P461. Got a bit of diagonal recoil but not enough to lose control over unless you're doing a rambo.

This. Makes pulse useless too. Deadly, fierce = rubbish.

I managed to upgrade my sniper build tonight since I last showed you this afternoon, gamble. Lost 1K toughness but got FA and armor up and gained the performance mod slot. I need more practice to fire rapid headshots with an upwards kicking weapon. Close to 5500 FA, 476K DPS on a not well rolled sniper. Need to improve my PM with a very specific backpack but currently it works extremely well!

 

[Tek81]

Rerolled a few talents last night in light of the crit changes. I'm wondering though if I should reroll Destructive as well. I'm using an LVOA and it's not easy to keep it on target. Is Accurate considered a waste of time?
