    Lose dps vs striker gear talent??

    Always tinkering with gear, wondering if taking a sheet dps loss vs using 4 piece striker gear talent is worth it. I know the stack can be massive, but...
    I normally run 3 striker, 2 sent and HE gloves with savage, however is losing headshot damage because going with extra striker piece worth it??

    Striker is never worth it.

    atm, the only 2 sets worth getting is:
    4x sentry, 2x strikers
    4x tacticians, 2x sentry / striker

    Best way to know is to go test it in the range. Too many unknown factors for anyone to tell you what is better for you in this instance. Imho.

    Tried that and that's why I'm asking. Kinda inconclusive becuase I'm trading one for another.

    Im pretty sure its general consensus that 4 pc striker isnt worth using as the bonus isnt very useful

    Also in my expierence striker is the gear that artificially boosts your DPS. I know if I replace my sentry with striker I go from like 210kdps to 260 or something but overall im weaker

    Mine is the opposite, I'm at 260+k dps with a mix of strike and sentry, when I replace my sent gear with striker, I lose 20k dps.

    Naturally Striker's gear will be great at the range. The targets don't move. In the game world, you'll never have a stationary target.
