    I need a better build

    What do I need to make a better character build? My GS is 248. I do 232,882 dps with my G36 C and only 164,938 dps with my SRS A1. Toughness is 365,364 and only 14,000 skill power. Running around with 3pc FM at the moment.

    I run a 5 piece lonestar with 232.5k dps on my G36 C, 182.3k on a 204 FW M1A, 389k toughness, with 40% exotic damage resilience, 75% armor, and 18k skill power. Maybe get a better marksman rifle, and recalibrate some of your gear. You don't say what your exotic resilience or armor is at, but what I wonder is where are you having problems? In the DZ you might need more toughness, but for PvE I don't have any problems with my set up.

    I think the first question you should ask yourself: are you looking for something more well-rounded or do you want to spec in something specific? You can look for a Reckless chest to boast 300k DPS on your G36 with something like 5 Sentry for your Marksman. (I'm currently collecting the pieces for a build like this) or the much hated Tanktician.

    I'm currently needing two Tactician's pieces (mask and holster). If I get the rolls I want on them, I'll be able to stretch 30k Skill Power, in conjunction with 503-510k Toughness and 240k DPS. I think this will be a pretty well-rounded build. It will equal to two Blind, two Deadeye and two Tactician's.

    My exotic resilience is at 64% and armor is at 75%. Mostly looking for a more well rounded build, I would like to get closer to 20k on my skill power, without sacrificing my toughness or dps. I only just got into the 200k dps because of the G36. I would want to get my hands on a better rifle, I'm guessing the M1A is still the king? I keep an old pair of 240 GS TA gloves for the DZ, boosts my toughness to 444K, and drops dps down to 209k. I have yet to find a pair of 268 gloves. My build right now lets me use all the talents on my equipped weapons, but I've noticed that sometimes when I use the seeker mine, nothing happens or when using the flashbang, it doesn't blind the enemies, just disrupts.

    You need to roll + skill on your mask and backpack to increase your skill power without sacrifice.

    Is it worth buying the lvl 32 mods for weapons or will the lvl 31 mods work just as well?

    Just join the meta and do 5 piece sentry with reckless chest piece and a shotgun , sneak up on guys fighting NPC's and one shot them in the back of the head take there loot and run . This is about 85% of the builds in the DZ right now . There are a few running sticky bomb builds also .

    Lol, I would say 97% run that, including me at times.
    All I see in the dz is agents with shottys.

    that's depends what do u want. Crouch NPC's, or players, or support other players.

    85%? Groups from randoms perhaps.

    Organized groups:

    Reclaimer, or even two.
    Tactician.
    Predator
    Sentry/Dead eye.
