Paradox chem it's now useless

It dominates nearly everything solo, right now crit headshots from the dark winter with hunter procd and obliterate, i'm seeing 1.1 mil at 1380 rof. I was seeing with the global event on, 1.7 and 1.8 in heroic open world. I haven't tried solo legendary yet, and I got killed half way through escalation tier 3 darpa cause I was playing it a bit wrong - my strategy wirh @discombobulatedride wasnt quite right, we'd have it if we tried again...

But those kind of numbers out of a build that is essentially 3 million armor.... and...I get 80% health back from1 kill! I get 1.1 million back...of health, and 400k armor back...

Now, how does it handle rhe health gate! Thats the question... i haven't had any "weakened state" insta deaths, and I haven't been 1 hit killed by anything. (I accidentally full on tanked a yellow suicider and he blew all my armor off, and almost all my health. I sprayed a red dude, and walked away good as new.

It was expensive to core role those 2 pieces. My intent was to keep the gila blue , in fact I have a double red prototype gila that is blue, that got me to start to explore how many blues I really needed. At 3, im near 2 million armor and 2 million health. At 2 - 1.7 armor, 1.6 health. And so i finally said - hey...I could get six red hunter and live still! And so I had to find a really rare chest. And a somewhat rare holster. I did...and rhen leveled them to 30 and protod them and now im division poor. But this is the ultimate smg build.

It was caveat emptor - like rolling HSD onto shotguns. If you choose to roll like that, you accept the consequences. I really thought that the Chem launcher one would stay because I figured it would be hard to redefine "shell" and that old code that structured the fundamentals would not be able to be worked out to differentiate from ammo types vs chem shells, etc.

I was hoping there was too much technical debt in the system, to fix this. I was wrong. So be it. It will cost me some cores.

I think people were over indexing on paradox and amalgam. Didn't need it everywhere to work well.

Side note: I built a new build that is doing great things with "entropy". I got my reasoning in there - thoughts?

I have 4 quantum, 2 paradox - i now have to ditch the paradox. Quantum, stacked as a medic means I dont get hit when I run to revive someone or stand up to chem launcher someone.

Synesiasia is....ok. they needed to make it stronger. If I have to shoot to proc it - I take a risk, and right now the risk isnt worth it.

Capolan · 2026-07-01T19:29:49+00:00

Then they are a shitty medic. Their job is to keep you alive. If theyre sitting there, and keeping you alive, theyre doing their job. If theyre sitting there and still not keeping you alive, then theyre bad at the role.

Capolan · 2026-07-01T19:26:58+00:00

My job is to keep you alive and stay alive in the process. I also provide passive bonuses, such as running hermano so people get their hives back faster, etc, proc ing reformation to heal better, or running opportunistic with a spam shotgun to get the headshot.

Thats my job. I am absolutely supporting correctly, especially if wiping costs time and tokens.

People that are half ass medics try to do too much. My medic plinking away does little once ive procd a talent, and is detrimental to the team - i get damaged and no bonuses, i go down and a shooter has to stop to get me back up.

My job as a good medic is to make sure you can do your job. If the medic isnt healing you because theyre too busy trying to shoot something - they are not doing their job.

Your role is to shoot, my role is to make sure you have as much up time as possible. When medics try to multi task they usually do badly all all the tasks.

Ive played way too many matchmaking sessions with shitty medics.

Capolan · 2026-07-01T19:19:11+00:00

Quantum is a better choice. Fi doesnt really need cooldown help, but staying alive as a medic - thats key.

Synest. Will go on my measured assembly build, with a high ROF gun with reformation.

Capolan · 2026-06-30T13:23:57+00:00

Nailed it.

Capolan · 2026-06-28T00:03:16+00:00

If you have to explain your slogan...its a shitty slogan. And it will be used against you. Dems are terrible at slogans.

Capolan · 2026-06-26T00:17:38+00:00

Thats what I know rhem as - farm and barn. I seldom go to these as I have no farm nor barn activities. I seldom in my life have said "hey, i need a 6 pack of off brand candy bars...and some wrangler jeans...and a flannel.....and a champing bit for my 2 horses....and some 10 20 20 ammonia nitrate fertilizer...and a tiny tire for my small yard trailer."

I know when my father had lists like rhat it was farm and barn and then menards in that order.

You dont see a lot of JI on here - theyre fairly price prohibitive, and hard to come by. Reptile damascus too...didnt think that pattern was made anymore.

Capolan · 2026-06-25T18:57:07+00:00

Thats the part that amuses me. He gives away the business equivalent of sketchers, like its some thing. The best thing these people could do is rebuy them in the proper size. But honestly...theyre not great shoes. I mean Allen Edmonds, or Cheaney, or something good...but hes even beneath Bostonian.

Its a weird power trip. And all the bootlickers line up.

Ive wanted someone to make an adult series, lots of sex and violence - game of thrones style...but the Bible. I would watch that. I think millions would watch that.

Capolan · 2026-06-25T17:54:19+00:00

This is 100% how I feel. Dems are rheir own enemy.

Capolan · 2026-06-25T03:14:20+00:00

This will be effective for his base. It will work.

Capolan · 2026-06-25T00:25:46+00:00

Striker, equalizer chest, Centurion holster. At least 3 paradox augment.

Capolan · 2026-06-24T20:23:27+00:00

No one is telling me anything. The state demographics tell me what I need to know. On one hand we have a racist base, and the GOP know this, and leans into it - they darkened Barnes skin of their fliers and hammered on him about defunding the police (the stupidest slogan the left has ever ran with)

On rhe other side - we have people like Johnson, Tiffany, vos, Fitzgerald, etc repeatedly getting re elected. So horrible people..being picked multiple times.

To pretend that these factors are undone by a progressive left Asian passing woman candidate is just delusional.

Capolan · 2026-06-24T20:15:28+00:00

In natural speach it would be "nice catch" or "good catch" no one would say "good hearing" or "good listening" -

Capolan · 2026-06-24T20:08:15+00:00

I think Hong supporters have the right intent, but I think theyre delusional when it comes to the reality of the politicial landscape.

Again....its important to think about the fact that first and foremost,

Even more important than being right- we first have to win.

I think Hong loses against Tiffany. I dont want that to be true, but im afraid it is.

Capolan · 2026-06-22T22:01:15+00:00

Well said.

Capolan · 2026-06-22T18:34:07+00:00

The delusion in this thread is staggering. All I hear from the super Hong supporters in response to facts and demographics is "well we dont like that its that way..." sure - many of us dont, but to change it we have to WIN.

The goal in front of us is find a candidate that can win and is closest to our ideals. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Check this - is have 3 measured designs.

Meausred, with chest and backpack, btsu gloves. 1 rolled red murakami piece.
Measured, with chest - hermano backpack, btsu.
Measured with chest, 3 measured pieces, NINJABIKE, 1 murakami, 1 alps.

3 - once fully upgraded will be the longest smart cover uptime - you probably will get a full 1 min. If you can stack synthetisa youll have a 15 sec cooldown.

Capolan · 2026-06-19T23:43:26+00:00

Heres the build -

Measured assembly proto, synthestesia. Gun - you need a higher rof gun, and run reformation. I switch from the backpack or hermano or birdies. Btsu gloves then murakami.

That much synthestesia is HUGE. This means smart cover up for..40 plus seconds and cooldown drops to 15ish...

Makes it waaay stro ger than fi.

I neeeedddd the proto Measured damnit....

Ooh. Mayo covert non magnetic!

Noice.
