    Armour/Health or OP Damage?

    I've been playing The Division (both I & II) for a long time and up until now I've never had an issue with the game as a whole (except for a few minor bugs), but after Warlords of New York I've gone back to DC and I'm getting absolutely slaughtered more often than not.

    I had a decent build before where I could easily do Solo but I'm now finding that I'm dying over and over. I'm finding that the bomb drone from enemies are absolutely destroying me as well as just the enemies in general seem a little bit more OP than usual. I thought it was quite balanced before Warlords of New York in my opinion but I'm finding now that it's massively geared towards a bias in favour of the enemies I'm encountering who can just strio my armour and have me dead in seconds.

    My Armour is 791K and Health is 363K should I have this the other way around? As before my armour allowed me to take quite a bit of damage before my health would start taking any damage but now I'm just being annihaltated.

    That's not true.

    I myself have put up my build to several people who said that, and they conceded it's a good build and video's of me on hard difficulty and challenging world difficulty

    With only 1 red stat in the entire build

    So no you do not need all red stats, also on a side note I did Washington hotel on hard and with only 1 red stats my total damage at the end was 224 mil of which I showed proof. (not bad for a 1 red stat build.)

    The original point of my question was, regardless of weapon damage which I find is absolutely fine as can melt enemies no problems with my assault rifle, having my armour at 791k and health at 363k should I take away some armour and add more to health to try and stop being annihalated by incoming damage as it just destroys me just now

    The damage of certain enemies are 650,000 - 1 million per shot on Challenging +3 players
    So you can guess how much armor is effective at that point.

    I run an all tank build no reds or yellows.

    Solo challenge I can kill decently fast with my pistol no issues

    4 person I support the team. Face tank heavies revive and still get about 500 million damage per mission.

    Depends on how you want to play I have 1.7 million hp
    And 13.9 million shield hp and my pistol hits for 700k on headshots. (Liberty)

    Yeah once I manage to get a set of True Patriot @ 40 I am gonna try a pistol / shield build.

    I have used shield on a Skill build and it can get pretty tough.

    Im generally just sticking to skill build with Drone / seekers. atm.
