    Real reason why 9000 stat requirements suck

    This thread is half sarcasm half serious

    It has everything to do with the lack of breathing room on gear and the optimization station. This thing is great and terrible at the same time.

    If you haven't figured it out by now if you need the the optimization station to increase Firearms, Stamina, or Electronics you pretty much have 2 choices.

    1. Re Roll them at the calibration station

    2. Farm new gear

    Nothing more depressing than getting gloves with a 1290 stat roll, use 50 div tech, and then go to 1298.

    So unless the RNG god's blessings me with new D3 gloves my shield tank build won't be unvieled anytime soon.

    Mini vent over.

    This is why, when I find a piece of usable gear that needs a stat change, I recalibrate it till I get within 10 points of max level. That way it won't take as long and expensive, Div Tech wise, to max it out. I do feel for those that will be optimizing more than one or two gear sets. That's one grind I'm glad I won't be doing. I'm just optimizing 4 pieces of Tactician's Authority (mask, gloves, knees and holster) to go with my Barrett's chest and Inventive pack. Spending my time farming for gold, teal and exotic gear and deconstructing it for Div Tech for optimization purposed.

    It's funny I came back to this game to check the update and see what the WSP is about etc etc.

    So far i'm still playing with my old Hexo/skull gloves build that I can run challenging solo/grouped and everything else P v E orientated ,

    i'm on 6000 FA(435,000 to 513,000 DPS)/6000 Stamina(515,000 toughness) and 3000 electronics109,00 Sk power (mains urban MDR and Bullfrog. )

    I'm beginning to realise I don't need any classy gear, so thankfully I don't have to farm or get disappointed when I don't get any classy drops and don't have to use the optimization station thus not wasting Div tech etc etc etc

    It’s true, you don’t need classifieds.

    But hell, once you’ve got it, man, there’s no going back ever again!

    I'm just looking to upgrade my 4 TA pieces with classified versions but, if i happen to collect a 6 piece Firecrest along the way, I be happy to take it. The other 2 sets however? Vendor trash or crafting materials is their fates.

    I feel the same way. I used to be a Hexo all the way guy but Striker makes me feel so powerful, Nomad thanks in part to not being part of the 9K to make great family and part to the built in HoK and overheal is so versatile, and Reclaimer makes Resistance/legendary content almost easy mode. Part of me wants to go back and try the Hexo build with some of the 1.8 changes in weapon damage perks but another part of me doesn't want to give up the 1401 rolls for 1272.

    To be honest I couldn't care less for Classified don't and will never need them. I have what I need to play the content I want upto and including challenging solo with my 5 to 8 month old HEXO/skull gloves build.

    If I go into the DZ and get ,melted within 1 second don't care I don't go into P v P
