Do you find it difficult to shoot women and children? No, you just don't lead them as much!

Tess Just been playing some last stand with nexus, bloody hell it's hectic and difficult to see enemies lol.
Yeah good fun last stand, very hectic. Although personally, like survival, I can see it getting a bit old (essentially it is just TDM) so don't want to overdo it, especially with the below...
The new "cheese"... airburst sentry mine, wait for the groups to come around a corner, throw it right on top of them and watch them all go down lol.... Can't complain as I'm using it myself with all sentry performance mods
Going to have to look at SMG's again as it seemed like quite a few were using them (by the looks of it, the vector) and dropping people very quickly...
EDIT:
And yes, something didn't seem right with the lighting etc. as it was way too dark even for the neutral light setting... Possibly a bug with the neutral light setting in LS?
EDIT:
Re-rolled some of my strikers stuff so sitting at 418k toughness now, going to get some performance mods with skill on instead of health, which will bring me to about 400k, I think that should be enough and a nice balance.

Skill haste is technically better for certain things with no investment into skill power. Using the support station method from 1.5, in 1.6 (for the first part of CS) they come back quicker so for an all damage build, don't waste rolling skill haste or even skill power on anything IMO.
PVP I run booster shot and concealed pulse, LS, I run booster shot and recon pulse due to the lower CD.
@TonyTurbo78 fire turret is so weak now, it got a proper nerf and is only strong if you go really into electronics with firecrest, so if your going to run the DZ, have one person on concealed and the other on immuniser as you will find a lot of seeker mines and grenades.

Well the GPU isn't dead - cleaned it out, the pump seems fine so I'm guessing that there is probably some sludge buildup inside the tubing (restricting the flow) so might be time for a new air cooler as a backup - this H105 is 2.5 years old now.
Tested it out in ARMA and temps were fine.

Is the H105 not your CPU cooler? I thought your 980ti had its own AIO cooler?
You be on tonight then?
True, might be better for me to look into mods with skill haste instead then, got to keep spamming those airburst sentry balls....
Currently all my gear mods are health and I'm at 418k toughness. What would you recommend for gear mods bonus if wanting more damage?TBH, might have to equip ferro's fire mask now with this new "cheese"! EDIT: Would that mask even help with the fire sentry balls? As isn't there some damage from the mini explosion still?

Yeah sorry meant the 120 AIO on the 980Ti, still need to think about replacing the CPU cooler also, think I'm going to go back to air.
I'm slightly paranoid now that both are going to leak everywhere - won't be on tonight, got an early start tomorrow so having an early one.
Had a quick play there, unfortunately not got any skill haste mods so skill power ones will have to do for now...

Using my LVOA now (despite my lightweight m4 doing slightly more base damage as well as having destructive over it) as I'm finding the unforgiving talent quite useful for PVP, generally I fall to 1-2 bars of health quite quickly + quicker reload is useful.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFT! Slacker

Yup as nice as the AIO/water cooling looks, the peace of mind you get with all air is just the better way to go imo.

not sure what the sentry mine balls are but i had a guy on the last game using the ones that are incendiary.. didnt work out too well for him though as the fire effect ran out by the time he ran upto me for that 'free kill'
safe to say i emptied my newly aquired mp7 into his face
also unforgiving is very useful for pvp, especially in last stand.. got a few weapons with it on just for that
oh and shortbow knees are great not time to dodge my nades hahaha

Yeah I meant the airburst balls (incendiary)
Catching up on reddit and so much salt over them now, some guy saying that his squad will stop playing the game due to them now muahaha
And yup, there is a technique to getting the best from them, don't just deploy it beside you, aim and throw it right at their feet, no chance for the players to react, well unless you are very quick... I have added to my explosion radius for those ones
It works even better on tight spots.BTW, does firearms now scale better? Seems like a lot are now stacking firearms again.
@Nexus18 firearms scales just like before, but stamina is much worse scaling now.
So most DPS players in LS run over 7k FA, some even 9k.
I run 7100FA and with booster my burst SMG has 30k damage. If I go up against someone with 4800FA - RIP them
@Furbs For PVE if you want to do damage, you can go deadeye with high firearms, reckless and another HE of your chosing. Or alternatively go all HE gear with exotics.
Also, if you aren't already on OCUk discord, come along. We are always on there:

Think I will switch out a stamina mod for a firearm mod then. If possible, I will try to keep my strikers as it is now for toughness (400/410k) + skill (105/110k) as that seems to be working well for me in LS currently (coming in top 3 and came first in a few rounds), although that is probably more down to my airburst balls
Ditching the d3 build, it received too much of a nerf to make me like it over my strikers loadout now (it definitely needed a nerf though and is still decent but just not as fun!)
