*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

Showing what health you will get with the removal of the additional armour roll, and also what All Resilience you will get to replace health if you have it rolled already.

Can already see the PVP meta being all health instead of armour with no real changes. Except 1 healer for contaminated events.

PVE - I can see some fun variations coming :)
 
So having come into a little bit of cash, and getting a £90 Rainforest voucher I'm considering an upgrade from my 980. Should I just go balls deep and get a 1080? It's for my 'new' i7 build. That's been sitting there for about 8 weeks now, waiting on me being bothered taking the 980 from the i5 machine I'm using typing this on. Or is a 1070 better value?
 
Connection lost on startup, had that just before WD2, then it was OK, now gone again..

Depends on your resolution, Misschief. With a 1070/1080 I'd easily go with a 1440p/144hz or above. 4K possibly if you don't mind turning down a few settings.

I personally went from 4K/60hz to 1440p/144hz/G Sync, that was a wise move.

Considering your post above as well, I would highly recommend going for a 10800. You will be able to 100% max the division, and many other titles and it seems like it would be an upgrade you wouldn't consider moving from for some time.

Worthwhile purchase IMO :)

It was for some on discord, servers were prob getting hammered with preloads
 
Played for a couple of hours last night, managed to get 2 pieces of striker (chest holster), two pieces of sentry' call (mask and gloves) and 2 nomad pieces (knees and backpack) Feels a good combo for grinding for me, still hunter AB pieces tho.

Anything is viable for PVE, but that 2/2/2 sounds nice! Nomad is very very useful i think.

AB is good for sure, strongest set at the moment and will still be strong in 1.6.

I wonder how effective the Destructive talent will be in 1.6? Will be interesting to test it on the PTS.

For PVE? Will be very good still.

For PVP - not so much. I think the meta will turn towards flat damage buffs and OOC so 3/3 Banshee/lone star.

Im sitting at 302k/399k/100k on my FA/ST/EL

Still havent tried farming the DZ as the last time I was there it was a hack and gank fest.

Can run challenge mode missions and they are fun as they can be quite challenging, but seeing as people have done 100+ lex missions, my setup needs tweeking

You're quite welcome to join me on one of my many lexington runs if you like? It's the best way I've found, cheesing aside, to both test and establish a decent build.

Sounds perfect, TheCarta on uplay.

147 hours in and I am still looking forward to getting home so I can play. The only other game that made me like this was WoW back in the day.
 
Yeah, it's pretty addictive. I'm bordering 800 hours and despite a few past frustrations owing to odd design choices, I'm still enjoying it. Another good thing with lex is that at 80 Phoenix creds a go, it's the quickest way to reach cap imo.

I'd rather run CS to be honest.
 
Things don't change. Ventured into the DZ to see what was what, found a new landmark and proceeded to kill the enemies and some random guy decides he will kill me instead of getting stuck in as well :D Only been in there 2 mins lol.

Greg, I saw you in there and thought I'll go and have a look myself, it's the PTS what have I got to lose. Then I saw you were gone and the rogue symbol flashed, so I then couldn't be bothered.

Interestingly, not all my gear with armour rolled extra came across with health, so I rerolled everything without health to health. Ended up with 5556 stamina which gave me 401,402 toughness (I normally have 450k on this build). I swapped a stamina chest for an electronics one to give 4816 elec or 144,480 skill power. Tried the Legendary Times Square solo, lasted about 2 mins...didn't even know where I was getting shot from and of course the thermo nuclear LMB grenadiers took 3/4 of my health in one shot. So much for new tactics.

Made it a bit of the way into the new Incursion until overwhelmed...if I had known what was coming I would have been able to handle it better, so there's hope yet for that.

Decided to up the skill power and swapped all mods from Stam/health to Elec/health. Dropped Stam to 4831 (366,867) and Firearms to 3864 but Elec went up to 6026 (180,780). This was a 25% increase and it has given a 34% increase in damage on paper to my sensor turret and seeker mine.

I haven't been able to test this build as I got Miked and haven't been able to get in again.

I'm off tomorrow for another four days without Internet ( or very scratchy) so I'll be interested to read how you all go and find the PTS.

Cheers
