    Is Pred Mark really that strong?

    So I was chasing down a rouge, and thinking I'll be okay with my 6piece nomad. Nope got destroyed in three shots with shotgun. I know Pred has that stupid bleed, but it seemed like he killed me before the bleed kicked in. Someone shed light lol or just tell me I suck lol

    3 things:

    a) Depends on their build. It can be very fast killer. But alot depends on the build of the target especially their resistances. WO seeing your build its tough to know.

    b) There are apparent glitches/exploits that players can use to be stronger than they should be. As of 1.8.1. So its possible they were cheating.

    c) The servers for this game are in need of an overhaul. So it could have been lag or some issue with connectivity on your end.


    Take your pick. )

    Hopefully (a)
    Just looked a my character and my all damaged resilience is at zero, and my edr is at 26% and bleed is at 17%
    I'm just a little shook because I never died so easily with my nomad, even against preds but oh well life goes on lol

    A Pred build spec’d for PK (CHC/CHD) together with the House.....that will drop you faster than a mule-kick!

    Well you have some edr. All dmg resistance Im not to sure on. Never tried it in the dz so I cant say. But Ive seen vids with builds that have 35% EDR and 50% bleed res. which they showed worked against pred bleeds. Though dont know if they were the strongest pred. bleeds possible. Probably more like middle of the road. The higher of those two resistances you have the better vs their bleed it will be. I generally tend to have about 25% edr and about 30% bleed for pvp builds. And only were possible. For most pred. encounters its fine though not 100% effective.

    I dont know anyone running a shotgun with Predator and its not that effective if they are. Its much more deadly with an SMG in every instance. I can tell you that 3 shots from a striker shotgun will destroy you especially if they have their stacks and/or they are using cronus and everything is automatically a headshot.

    Desync/lag issue most likely. Had that happen more than once.

    Pred is a decent counter to striker shotgun
