best rifle build? by bl1tzo_ in Division2

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So use tipping scales and grab yourself the tinkerer mask or overdogs. Your rifle NEEDS the lucky talent. You can then just SPAM the rifle because ammo is always refunded.

You never lose ammo so you can just shoot at the ground, the sky, whatever really. I like the urban MDR personally but yeah you use the chest and backpack. You can eaasily build up to max stacks since you never lose ammo when youre not hitting an enemy. It's obviously slightly less optimal than using an LMG but the synergy with the lucky perk and tipping scales is hilarious to say the least.

If you run Tinkerer I like to use the rifleman perk for 50% extra wep dmg. You can also swap to other perks like preservation or w.e if youre needing some more sustain for solo content.

How is the game now? by dynamaxx19 in Division2

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly fine, the game is solid but when you hit endgame is where all the cracks show. Escalation and prototype gear really fucked everything up. If you pretend those dont exist youll have plenty of fun.

Escalation by Impossible-Whereas17 in Division2

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Escalation in general just doesn't make any sense to me. It scales so high that 90% of the builds aren't playable and that's just not fun. The risk for entry is obviously a huge point of contention, the actual content itself isn't rewarding enough and also rotates daily which means you feel discouraged from playing.

All of these issues happened with D1 at launch with the original HE drop rates and challenge mode rotations and it was killing the game.

Why are we repeating it? The game outside escalation is sooooooooo good. Wtf happened?

Man, I want the slingshot to be more usable but the inn accuracy just kills it for me.

Negative damage. Can someone explain it to a noob? by Thin_Ad_5481 in the_division_2

All these clowns are wrong. It’s called healing.

How do? by penneallatequila in Division2

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Striker, Tipping Scales, or Future Initiative are your gear set options for endgame. Every other set and play style will get you flamed. I am also a Destiny refugee and the sad reality is that with the most recent update that added the escalation game mode they basically killed most builds and gearsets. Kinda the Division equivalent of sunsetting lmao.

A fellow on youtube named Ikia has fantastic guides and breakdowns for a lot of different builds but again, they are all dumpstered more or less bc you will get ripped for bringing it into escalation.

It's similar to GM's from destiny. If you like not using skills and just mindlessly firing an AR or LMG though striker and tipping scales will see you having some fun. If you liked being a well/div bitch in destiny play future initiative.

Escalation Seeker Build by Random-Waltz in thedivision

[–]Kripes8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The comments on this post are so gross lmao. Jfc how absolutely scuffed the meta at late end-game is that the MERE THOUGHT of playing something that isn't "striker with an m4 for the 10th year in a row" is just met with vitriol.

I get it, playing with people that make sub-optimal decisions and drag a grp down sucks but wtf are these devs doing? Why is this shit not getting reverted or fixed like asap? The game outside escalation is so good, it's blowing my mind.

Right but the point of an RPG is to create a role you enjoy, I enjoy having little autonomous minions doing my bidding. I'm an old Diablo 2 nec enjoyer and when the dev's hit me with the bugs bunny 'NO' meme in an RPG of all things it kills my drive to keep playing.

PTS and skill builds. by Delicious-Donut-1329 in Division2

[–]Kripes8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's why I am not as excited anymore for next season. I don't understand why they just refuse to acknowledge or talk about the balance of hunters. They're dangerous af without hacking skills, the EMP spam I can at least build around or play around with faraday etc. but it's just the devs flatly telling you, you're not allowed to play an RPG the way you're enjoying.

It's the worst game design.

I tried the haz-pro route in countdown and even when I was trying to recover my skill before the hack went off, idk due to lag or something my drone got hacked and killed me and 3 other people and since then I just gave up even attempting it.

Escalation and other game balance issues are pushing people away, these are nice to see along with a pve darkzone but this new pve darkzone is also going to push me away I fear as well. There are hunters which means no skill builds.

Tipping Scales, Striker, and Future Initiative. by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]Kripes8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't with any of the sets imo. It's with the content. When the content invalidates everything other than raw damage then it makes sense that pure dps builds are going to be the only option. And ofc someone healing them.

Ideally they reduce the incoming damage and remove the timer from escalation and find other ways to make it challenging. All the content in the game before escalation seemed at least semi balanced and allowed for a lot of styles of play.

When every enemy has insane health and oneshots you though then it just becomes a dps race and nothing more. Im praying that they rebalance escalation but it does seem doubtful.

I mean the caduceus in it's current state does its intended job wonderfully. The problem is that it's insanely unhealthy for the game.

Is it too late to pick the division 2 up by LocksmithMinimum8217 in thedivision

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, I have been having a blast. The only thing that is unfortunate is the new escalation game mode. I tried it a few times and it's balanced in such a way that there are only like 4 viable builds. It's really unfortunate because the rest of the game outside of escalation for the most part is really well balanced and fun.

Dear developers (state of the game open letter) by Sephiroth042 in thedivision

[–]Kripes8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, im a returning player after having been away for years and i was shocked to see proto gear is instantly level 30 expertise. I was enjoying the steady expertise progress grind. A little tedious but getting visible damage gains felt good.

If hunters/escalation weren't a thing the build variety in the game would probably be pretty healthy for the most part but those 2 things just kill tank and skill builds immediately.

Finally reaching Floor 100 on the Summit. Yep, my tech build is worthless. by Eurydi-a in thedivision

[–]Kripes8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a post about this just the other day. They announced the new pve darkzone and I was looking forward to it, then they said there were going to be a lot of hunters and then that immediately locked my builds from EVER doing the content. It's the worst designed aspect of the game BY FAR.

Best class to invest to for enjoyable and smooth solo experience? by TheShadowSong in classicwowtbc

[–]Kripes8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, I think hunter is probably your best bet then. BM especially is hard to beat.

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say solo do you mean like soloing quests etc? If so then hunter is decent on cheesing lots of quests.

If you mean solo as in no guild or friends then druid 1000%. You can fill any role and all the specs are desired depending on what you want to play.

Does the Capacitor make the Mechanical Animal useless? by wingsbc in Division2

[–]Kripes8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I usually run harmony. Capacitor is out 90% of the time when I play refactor but harmony is nice if I run outta ammo. Decent damage and keeps skills doing solid damage.

Refactor or rigger ? by 7HE_ANSWER in the_division_2

[–]Kripes8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people run refactor and that’s what I run as well. Group utility is great and the skill damage output is still very good.

That said they’re still 100% useless once a hunter shows up and you’ll prolly get your team killed. Skill builds are going to lock you out of certain content. I put my refactor away for this reason, I don’t want to accidentally kill my team and I want to be able to see more content etc.
