    A bit of advice and answers on some queries.

    Hi All,
    I am on a score of 229 and my two main weapons are the First Wave M1A DPS of 268109 and Military G36 DPS 196263.

    My toughness is 277981 and Skill Power is 115230.

    I also have 2000 Phoenix Credits which is the max I have now discovered as I am leaving any credits I get now behind.

    My queries are:

    *Can I increase the effectiveness/power etc of the M1A and G36 by purchasing blueprints or something with the Phoenix credits?

    * Is my DPS more important than my skill power and toughness? Am I going about my overall performance the wrong way by trying to keep my DPS higher than the others? Does it really matter?

    *What would be the best way to use the Phoenix Credits?

    Thanks for your help.

    Honestly it's all about preference. If you want to deal more damage then you focus on DPS. But if you want to take more damage and be able to stay in combat longer then go toughness. Skill power is ok but only if you spec heavily into it and are willing to be the support player for the team.

    As for phoenix credits really the only use is recalibrating weapon talents and buying the weekly blueprints in the Base of operations HUB area. Other then that they don't go to far. Best just spend them cause as you can see its quite easy to get them.

    And the sucky part about the game is no you can't increase the power of your stuff. You'll have to regrind all your gear over if you want stronger gear. This is the part about the game right now that makes it unfun and boring. They literally make you regrind the same gear over and over on the same missions over and over just to get a slightly higher value. Thats what makes this game suck more then anything. Right now they fix a lot of major problems but now they really need to get more content flowing like monthly other wise the game will die before the last stand dlc drops.

    WT5 will give you access to lvl 34 weapon and gear mods which will improved the damage on your weapons and access to WT5 exclusive weapons. As for your gear. That's your decision. I don't know how you play. But at a guess I don't think you need to work on your skill power. In WT5 it's all about up grading our existing prices. But if you want to stay in 229 and have the edge in WT4 then get a few 256 pieces and when you see a vendor selling 268 gear and weapons you could then purchase the power level 34 gear and weapons mods blueprints from the HUB vendor and gear and weapons mods from said vendors and check weekly due to rotation.

    If you go into the DZ at DZ4 see the vendor at the saferoom.. the firearms mod is available there it's level 34. That will get your armour up and give you decent firearms. Then again that was before today's server maintenance.

    Don't just go on DPS and toughness for T4 because when you go up to T5 your toughness will drop. You will need the 256 gear to survive longer and it will increase your weapon damage. DPS does not increase weapon damage, Firearms does.
    Armour increase toughness.. So you need to get lots of gear and just grind through it finding what best works for you
