*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

Quick striker 3 piece setup so enemy armour damage will be boosted to 64% now:

With cover:

I could get the full set with an all right striker holster but then I would lose that extra toughness when in cover so not worth it imo and likewise with striker knee pads but they have firearms as the main stat instead of stamina (had to roll armour)

Saying that I am probably going to go back to the previous yellow setup as:

1. the specialised backpack is too good with bringing my skill power to over 100k
2. my previous mask had the talent where when you use a medkit, damage is increased by 10% for 10 seconds

And lastly, no point of having just 1 striker piece of gear so I would just switch my chest piece to whatever gives me the biggest boost to toughness.

I have got a few of the boss gear items but not Barret's vest!!!! :mad:


Also, saw a video earlier stating that the pakhan is probably the best gun overall atm, at least for PVE anyway so will be buying the one at the BOO special vendor and see how it compares to my ak47 later on.

EDIT:

Also, I hate how all the yellow gear is ugly looking, the strikers and sentry stuff looks so much nicer :(

I thought I would try out the D3 set with a dream roll SMG running Brutal - Responsive - Ferocious and it feels a bit like cheating lol. Running Queens Tunnel Camp on Challenging and just blowing through everything :D
 
So yesterday i benchmarked my 290 with nearly settings between high and Ultra and got 52fps average, tonight when i got in i installed this Zotac AMP Extreme 1070 and benchmarked on the 375.95 drivers with the exact same settings and got 82fps average...

Im impressed, this is the first Nvidia card ive had in over 12years and i have to say AMD if they can beat this 1070 i will be happy as i bet i will miss Freesync.

Anyhow for now i have to feel dirty and run Nvidia ;) Will play some Division later tonight i think and see how it feels ingame.
 
Doesn't matter what you run, Si so long as you enjoy it. I am loving it and proper enjoying my 4 characters differing sets and time to try a couple more.
 
a few tips in Survival btw dont forget Energy bar to restore health! in Survival not just med kits ! So save med kits! for the big damage / Step into a hideout to restore to full health without wasting a Medkit./ kill downed players in pve with "z" to steal their hard earned loot ;)
 
Ok, the pakhan from BOO special vendor just shreds NPCs :D

Is the + assault/smg/lmb damage on gloves worth it? Or is it better rolling to % damage to elites or something else instead?

Got to say, liking the 3 piece striker setup, recoil control is stupidly easy now. Think I might drop the striker backpack back for the specialised backpack though as I notice the 20+k difference in skill power and it's not like my EAD isn't already decent enough anyway.

Best thing about the patches since 1.3 - sooooo many gear and weapon options and all of them viable!

Yup once they introduced the green set items, that sort of killed the game for me as everyone was just running the same build/weapons then.

Now, we are back to having more unique builds especially with the yellows being good again.

Tbh I just roll for 'flat' damage now where possible instead of aiming toward CHC/CHD etc and it's working out well (and you can switch gloves pretty easily for differing setups ;)).

I'll have to give Strikers a try if I can get the right 3 pieces :)
 
PFFFFFFFFFFFFT! I can't be assed switching gear about :p :D I got a good roll on savage gloves so they will always be the main ones equipped.

Strikers is good although if you aren't in desperate need for stability control or/and more EAD, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Using an AK47 and now the pakhan, the extra stability is a rather nice bonus to have, recoil was manageable before but now it is stupidly easy, almost COD like :p
 
Anyone about tomorrow afternoon? Looking for Phoenix credits so want to run through all the special missions one by one, likely on challenging where available.

That's why I always run strikers mate. Will be on tomorrow afternoon about 13:00 to rek, just needed a break tonight.
 
I think I have decided to settle on the following for my "overall" build:

chest piece - preferably barret's vest but looking at reddit, the chances of that happening are extremely low despite getting all the other named gear items!!! So strikers for now...

Mask - strikers

Knee pads - Strikers

Backpack - specialised bag

Gloves - Savage for now but if I get a really good pair of striker gloves then maybe, I will switch to have a 4 striker set as the damage stacking bonus will most likely outweigh the extra 7% crit chance on enemies out of cover....

Holster - Sturdy holster, I hate how it looks and much prefer strikers look though :p but 15% extra armour in cover is too good to give up


Really liking the pakhan for elites, although I want to get a good roll LVOA but I haven't had one of these drop yet :(
