    Done until they fix the skills

    Before the Tidal Basin update I was having a blast. Now 220 hours in and I can barely stand it.

    Before the update I was all skill focused and had around 8500 points into my build. I couldn't do a lot of gun damage or take tank-level damage but I could crowd control via the chem launcher and seekers. It felt good to be part of a group that were usually dps run and gun centered. Like I had a role to play in the squad.

    Now there's no point. Skills are stomped into the ground. My dps AR build does SLIGHTLY less skill damage than my 4000 skill point build. I want my chem launcher 200% range back. Also I didn't know the multi seeker 'glitch' was a glitch at all. I thought it made sense to throw it out there and have multiple waves of seekers come out of it. I thought it was part of the +4-7 seekers mod that I needed a TON of skill points to use.

    Now with the 8 man raid just over a week away, it's just going to be groups of 8 run and gun dps builds blasting through it. There are no healers, there are no tanks. I just don't see the point of even attempting to be anything else.

    PLEASE fix the other builds and make diversity actually viable! Let people have shield builds, or healer builds, or crowd control builds etc. I want to be able to get ready for a raid and actually plan things out and have some fun with it.

    Diversity of builds is a good thing.

    Personaly I do NOT want to see DPS, TANK, HEALER again. Its old and unoriginal and leads to constant nerfs as the pvpers ***** and whine like pathetic *****y whiny things over whatever rotation of Rock, Paper, Scissor is currently in effect.

    What does build diversity look like then? 10 variants of the same red build and a few skill dps builds?

    Try Pacman - there is only one build for all players. You should love it.

    Diversity of builds is gun dps, skill dps, healer, and general support (team buffs like pulse, smartcover, etc) without these type of things, it's just a bang average shooter, not what the division franchise was meant to be. TG384729393 has his opinion, and that's fine, but I dont see what diversity is, if it's not the above. Diversity isn't a dps AR build, dps SMG, dps LMG, that's all the same in my eyes.

    Unfortunately these guys dont have a great history of fixing the game promptly, it arguably took almost 2 years to get TD1 into an ok place, I fear the same again.

    Awwwww look all the little rock paper scissor losers came out to attack me.

    There are a number of ways diversity can be achieved without resorting to the limitations of your imagination.
    There are already 3 types of specialiation. More emhpasis can be put on to those.
    You can look at ranged combat and close combat, you can look at area attack and precision attacks.
    You can look at making the game so that diversity comes out in group requirements rather than individual requirements, or having it in addition to individual requirements.

    You can do all sorts of things beyond the utter idiocy of rock paper scissors pvp garbage.
