    Saw this coming 200 miles away lol. I saw everyone raving about striker finally coming to div2 and I was like... really? It looked pretty awful.

    Static buffs or very simple easy to quickly stack buffs (like focus, you just scope in and you can maintain 50% damage buff pretty easily) will always be king unless something really OP is tacked on.

    That was my logic when I expected the chameleon to suck (and it did), that’s why I expected the diamondback to be nothing more than a funsies weapon (it was). I haven’t bothered to check out the WoNY exotics but I bet I could tell at a glance if it’s practical or not.

    Massive, stop trying to make weapons/gear that are either too complicated to flow with how combat actually works, or too gimmicky just for the sake of trying to be creative.

    Ok. I agree.

    However, in my case, striker is all I’ve got I’ve managed to find some “god” pieces... but, how do I survive with this ****???

    I do a decent amount of dmg, but I just can’t survive. What is the best combination for the striker set at the moment?

    This might be not true for all instances, but my opinion is if they giving it away like candy, it may be not as good as people think. Especially now that people say it's bugged.
    Couldn't test it myself as i have only 3 pieces so far, but from the looks of it i have far better golden gear. I play on console so it happens that i miss a full AR magazine entirely so...nah... not for me.

    On the other hand i got the named P416 yesterday as a season reward which i'm okay with...there are exceptions.

    No, no, NO, you are supposed to get **** on by NPCS. Survive a sniper shot or a grenade thrown by some behind cover NPC 100 m away? You filthy casual. I and my elite buddies fancy getting trampled in every difficulty mode, so you should suffer as well. So Git GuD or quit kthxbye.

    The Striker set wouldn't suck if it didn't suffer from hit registration issues. When a hit doesn't register, it counts it as a missed shot and drops your stacks. If they worked out the bugs Striker could be just as good as it was in div 1

    No it wouldn't....

    Gold/Yellow gear straight off the table blows Striker in the water...

    BFD you get ROF/Ammo......You lose way to much....

    Brand Sets push my stats, untouched to 114k Damage/52% CHC/78% CHD/71% HSD....

    Once tuned up I will easily top 130k Damage/60%CHC/120%CHD/90%+HSD.......

    Simple math...

    Oh, BTW, I also get to choose my 2 traits...not be stuck with 2 that suck nuts and don't work 65% of the time...

    Guess you don't take advice well, when explained in simple terms...

    Enjoy your mediocre build...
