    Gear sets advice wanted

    What is the best set for dealing damage? I've been using sentry's call because I aim for the head anyway, so bonus headshot damage would be good.

    Is it worth equipping 6 of the same gear set? It appears there is only a bonus for the first 4 items, so is 4 of one and 2 of another a better option? ...or 3 and 3?

    4 sentry + 2 striker is what most people go for.

    why not 3 and 3? is the sentries marks really worth it over the 50% crit dmg boost?

    I'm at 4 Striker and looking to get 2 Sentry - the Striker full set gives you the armor damage (only good for PVE) then the Crit Damage - all around great and then the damage increase on consecutive shots - with an accurate SMG that throws a ton of rounds down field you can watch DPS rise and rise. Then with the 2 Sentry you get the Headshot Damage bonus - another all around great.

    With 4 Striker and 2 Sentry you end up with one PVE-only bonus.

    If you go 4 Sentry and 2 Striker then you end up with two bonuses that are only good for PVE - armor damage and damage to Elites.

    If you go 3 and 3 then you end up with the same issue - two PVE only talents.

    I'm almost exclusively interested in PVE. Whatever is best for taking down difficult elites before they wipe a full team. On missions with lots of runners I tend to use Mobile Cover/Smart Cover combo, so looking for something that works well with that, or with shock turrets. Most missions aren't much of a problem now anyway, but it would be nice to pretty much be able to get through the incursion, even if my teammates suck.
