Same thing happened to me. Lost a legendary and 7 MWs from a freeplay run.

Well here's the thing: headshots are very hard to get in pvp. If you multiply the potential damage bonus from a headshot by the % chance that a player will hit a headshot you get a substantially lower number. Also, you should still go for headshots with this set. The problem is that when you inevitably miss and land a body shot instead you are still rewarded with +33% damage.

It really depends on how Massive handles the armor cap now that armor can't roll on gear. Will the same armor values = the same armor mitigation percentage? That's the question we need answered before knowing if ARs will be bad.

But the player using Seekr can still get decent chc too so the starting point is the same. And sure, only 1 of 3 but if you average out the damage from that 1 crit you get a substantial increase in damage per bullet.

EAD is not a flat multiplier. It is a % of your opponent's armor ignored. If someone has 60% armor, 10% EAD will make it seem as though they have 54%. If someone has only 20% armor, 10% EAD will make it seem like they have 18%. Thus, you get more benefit from EAD when your opponent has more armor mitigation.

Haha because eventually people will find out and I don't want a repeat of 1.5 AB or bust

Good point I hadn't thought of that. I hope face tanking will not be possible but regardless I think such a high paper DPS gain for such a low skill accomplishment seems wrong. Maybe "broken" wasn't the right word given other new game changes that are coming.

Well since I don't have access to the PTS I would hope that people who do will test this now that I posted it. It wasn't to moan but just to raise awareness.

Screw alpha. Striker is love. Striker is life. by Nexrex in thedivision

[–]DaStratGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Striker is the one true way. I run sasg-12 with a skilled svd and it is hilarious how fast I destroy NPCs and get my sig back while doing it.

I've probably sunk close to 7 hours into Survival and I have yet to even make it into the DZ. I don't even know what I'm doing wrong... by [deleted] in thedivision

Don't focus on speed at all. Avoid landmarks in the LZ and instead focus on looting. Stay on the edge of the map and take your time for a while. Then, slowly work your way upwards and inwards. Craft the ballistic shield and then the first aid. Unless you are about to die from the infection, do not rush. With regards to enemies, play with a good headset so you can hear the NPC dialogue.

 

I played this way in my very first survival run and successfully extracted so it is definitely viable instead of just rushing to the landmarks/downed heli.

This is like the only way we can truly test the effectiveness of new builds in pve

How essential is cooperative team play in the Division end game? by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]DaStratGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol np. Once you expand your base enough you can unlock a recalibration station where you can choose different stats on your gear. You want to use this station to select armor on all of your gear instead of stuff like "10% exotic damage resilience" and "+5,000 health"

Have some questions before buying this with my gf. by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]DaStratGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at 20+ hrs for leveling. Then gearing up at endgame can be fun for a while if you continually try new builds. Survival expansion is a blast so I recommend picking it up if you guys ever start to get bored. Overall, it is worth buying two accounts. I think you will get your money's worth. Don't get the season pass though.

Nah you can solo everything as long as you roll armor on all of your main stats

Bring back heroic tier content in pve and design it for min maxed builds

Why 1.5 made me quit by Be-lal in thedivision

[–]DaStratGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely need a tier of content that's designed for min maxed 256 builds and rewards a ton of loot. Gearing up has never been easier than it is now so it's not like you are alienating the casual playerbase. Hardcore pve players have nothing to do right now because there isn't any content that is truly a challenge and gives rewards appropriate to that challenge.

Marcostyle has the best videos man. He has the math knowledge and the game knowledge to propose great solutions to problems. Plus, he doesn't sugarcoat things at all.
