    Build advice from the PTS players ?

    I'm on the ps4 so as you can imagine I can't wait to dive into 1.4

    Can any of you guys who played the PTS give me any pointers as to which 2 piece set to aim for to go with my main 4 piece sets:

    On my main I'm going for a banshee 4 piece set, what would you guys think would go best with that ?
    On my first alt I'm going for a 4 piece nomad, whats would complement that ?
    And on my final character I'm after a 4 piece predators mark, any idea's on a good 2 piece for that.

    Edit: I might go for all high ends on one character, what do you guys think ?

    Roll on Tuesday..

    2 piece nomad pretty nice , robust got nerfed but still good , vigorus good combo with booster shot and of course the almighty savage glove.

    I didn't try the Banshee set as I'm not a PvPer. I did run a 4 piece Nomad with 2 Alpha Bridge for the regen that you get. Also, with that build, you want as much Health On Kill you feel comfortable with. As for Predator's Mark, I used 2 Striker pieces for the +20% Stability.

    Thanks, I've heard elsewhere the nomad alpha build is potentially a good solo build and that stability might come in handy with the new gun mechanics.

    Appreciate your help guys.

    3-piece Nomad + 2-piece Alphabridge + Steadfast holster also works well for solo play. You give up the "resurrection", but your regen kicks in a lot faster.

    There's definitely more combinations to try in 1.4.

    Personally, I had a lot of fun running 4 PM/2 Nomad. That allowed me to solo all daily and weekly HVT/HRT and the challenging story missions. Have a play around and see what works well for different types of content.

    For PVE Hvt missions I ran 4x Firecrest with Robust chest and sturdy holster stacking elite damage where I could. Very effective and fun

    4x Predator + 2x Nomad or Savage+Specialize are fine. With latest nerf to HoK it is not excelent and you have to sacrifice lot of utility just for HoK. For solo play, it is fine, but in team HoK is not worth to take it - my point of view.

    Last week I was try my current gear pieces and 3pcs Sentry with 3pcs Striker are really great for me. Extra accurancy and stability was great. I guess that Lone Star is very good too. If you like to switch weapons very often, then 3xPredator and 3x Lone Star sounds good as you get +8% for AR, SMG, LMG and Shotgun. You can add MMR on gloves

    Anyway, mostly anything is fine. 2-3 pcs bonuses are not huge, so, you can easily choose one which gives you best feel.

    For example AlphaBridge is very potent set from what I can see in formums. I was trying it but for me... propably I do not know which talents combinatil will work best for me. But 3pcs AB bonus is still fine and should be combined with mostly anything.

    I really enjoyed running FireCrest. The Turret becomes really powerful and deals with both NPCs and other players really well. In PVE situations it draws aggro and provides strong CC capabilities to a huge area. In PVP it will either light them on fire if they get too close, make them stay away from the area the turret is in, or force them to take out the current which gives you the opportunity to run or focus on them.

    Excited to try all these set combos. Glad I kept coming around and waited for 1.4.
