This is what puts me of every time they patch now... It is like DICE, they pointlessly change things for the sake of it.
No idea what is good and what's not good now.
Also, what has happened with the major + minor attributes, all my EAD rolls are gone and replaced with something else....
Anyone fancy giving the quick run down for the following?
- best gear set? Previously I liked strikers or d3 with a spec. backpack + savage gloves
- what are the go to rolls? i.e. before 1.6, it was armour + EAD
- what weapon, assault VS SMG?
- what to aim for fire, stam. & Elec. now
The new appearence/customisation for your kit looks nice but pointless as I don't know about anyone else but I only have 170 uplay credits so I'm only able to buy one thing and that's it...

I dont really use sets except for on my alt, but thats running 2 nomad 3 strikers and spec backpack which is working well so far
my main has barrets, shortbow, skulls, spec backpack, think its tenacious mask - the one that gives +10% damage after using medkit...
and a sturdy holster but thats pretty bad now so need to replace that
what ive got so far is instead of armour its now best to stack +health
EAD apparently depends on wether you pve or pvp more.. people say its not that good in pvp now, i dont pvp so i put EAD on a few things to get me around 50%
as for weapons im using my m4 still but rerolled to get predatory for extra heals and also running a pp-19 along side it
fire, stam, ele depends on wether you solo or run with a team, pure dps would go most/all firearms.. healer would go most/all elec
for solo i did try to balance it more but i found under a certain toughness i just took far too much damage.. so i have more fire/stam than elec by 1-1.5k i think
im sure someone else will post later with better info but this is from what ive read or tried out for myself and its working out OK.. just needs a few tweaks

Thanks.
I PVE more so EAD for me then.
And I do solo and group stuff. Generally I have always liked to be a bit tanky but have good damage along with a good skill power, here are how my stats look after 1.6 patch, before my toughness was about 450 iirc
Pretty sure that my damage and skill were higher too :/
Either way, I can't see myself putting too much time into the game until the next patch/dlc as there isn't much in this patch/dlc for me (as noted earlier, I'm not really a fan of PVP in this game, which is what 1.6 seems to be all about
) I explored the extended dz just now and is it just me or does it seem rather empty??? As for legendary mode, it might be ok for a bit but I honestly don't know if I cba running the same missions that I've already ran hundreds of times before...Is the new incursion any good?

I will say I enjoy Final Stand far more than I have any DZ PvP. It's objective based with a far smaller map so there's more action and more backup too. One thing though, going off by yourself is akin to going into the long grass in Jurassic Park.
Wrong Greg.
We did Leg today and finished in first go,and just because Twirl used shield (cant say what gear he used with it tho,sentry for stacking?).Legendary felt harder than in PTS,or maybe to much gaming for me today
Marco went in depth to cover this recently, I'll upload the images and put the video in below.
And ofc the YouTube video explaining why he felt these choices were now the goto stats.
Bare in mind these are subjective and are just Marco's opinion, there is some math behind it to back it up but for some skills there is choice, for example in the images above I will use Health on Holster and Ammo capacity on Backpack. I'm not sure about Mask as to whether Enemy Armor Damage is better than Crit Hit Chance
PvE enemy armor also hasn't changed so Destructive will still be good for that. As for enemy armor damage I believe there is simply better options available for min maxing that gear set.
Hope it helps, I've not been playing this as long as others and won't pretend I know everything about this game so if others think something is wrong their more than welcome to point out errors.

According to Marco it's 35%
Only thing I'm left wondering is what is the best roll for Mask, Crit Hit Chance or Enemy Armor Damage for PvE

EAD is still good for PVE tbh.
Been running LS since the servers went up yesterday with a quick break for legendary and heroic CS. Absolutely amazing patch so far!
Going to grab some screenshots of my builds for PVP/PVE later, glasscannon Burst SMG ftw in LS!

Exotics + HE is def a powerful 'set' as it were, loving mine with an MP5 atm 
Nice and powerful for Last Stand too

worth trying out the pp19 too jedi
ok so i went into dz to start on the weekly lmb objective and managed to get a Midas drop.. which after killing 2 rogues i managed to extract
but whats the point of the unique talent it has? lowers damage of you and your target

my shield build from 1.5 isnt too bad but i dont think its going to cut it. going to look at HE or maybe strikers.
