    Classified Nomad

    What is the best way to build it for PvP?

    Firearms or Stamina? What should the balance be?

    I have tried it Firearms heavy and I burned through my health so fast and I was more of a handicap to the team.

    Then I flipped it seemed like I could stand in the center of hellfire and brimstone, yet couldn't hurt fly on the under side of a flyswatter.

    I tried to balance it, I now have talents unlocked, but not a huge impact with damage and yet I can tell that I can't take as many hits either.

    So with that set I trying to find the style that suits it best.

    Depends on you're weapon talents. If your able to get an M4 with Unforgiven then High Firearms is the way to go.

    Doesn't Unforgiving require 4790 stamina? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought responsive was the way to go with a high firearms build? Unless you land unforgiving in the third slot, responsive in first or second and then toss up on deadly or whatever else suits your build.

    I run my nomad build when playing solo. If I'm farming and only run into the occasional rogue, then I go with 7,000 fa & 6,000 stamina. However, when I am rogue hunting or trolling rogues, I run 6,000 fa & 7,000 stamina.

    I have a video of youtube of me running my 6,000 fa set and completely ruined a group of 4 by distracting them and splitting the group up and allowing some randoms to come along and kill the whole group.

    There were times in this video where I would have died if I had any less then my 7,000 stamina.

    (The good part starts at the 5 minute mark, the HOLY CRAP, how did I survive that part is at 9:30, and then the killing of all the rogues is at the end)

    Yoda I can help you in game if you like send me an invite later...

    It's a defense heavy set. You get a LOT of strong defensive buffs when wearing nomad but nothing for offense so you don't need high stamina and you rely heavily on firearms, weapon talents and crit to deal damage. My build is something like this..

    8500FA/4500ST/2900Elec
    CHC on mask, holster and all 5 gear mods.
    Health on vest, knee pads and backpack.
    Gloves very important - SMG damage, CHC and CHD.
    Mod your SMG to crit damage muzzle, scope and handstop for almost 60% extra CHD.

    Works out to 51% CHC and around 110% CHD.
    About 425k toughness but it feels like a lot more when you enter every encounter with a full overheal and the nomad talent.

    I like to use an SMG obviously the house being the best in class. I suggest responsive/deadly/card counter or responsive/deadly and competant on the free slot if you don't have the house yet. Unforgiving is a great option too just need to bump your stamina little to unlock it. Don't bother with adept, feirce or vicious I will explain why..

    Character talents
    Combat medic if playing on a team for every build no matter what.
    Critical save
    Strike back
    Precision**- headshots will scan the target for a short time adding 7% CHC and CHD taking you from 51/110 to 58/117. Obviously close enough to the cap of 60 CHC that you don't need weapon talents like feirce.

    You guys can feel free to copy this template for any DPS build.
