    Highest Damage Build (Uses No Green Sets)

    SMG...Havent tried to build this on AR or LMG yet. Building a sniper based off this now with Nemisis.

    If you do the math, or build any high damage spec, the green sets are garbage. Everyone using delimna is losing damage. Better yet, you are better off crafting the lowest yellow piece, an Improvised piece for anything other than mask, back, chest.

    If you do the math for SMG for example:

    Coyote mask - probably the most op piece in the game
    2 piece Sokolov - You will have maxed crit chance and don't need the last piece
    1 piece Groupo Sombra for the crit dmg
    1 piece Ceska for the crit chance, the 10% bonus is better than any roll on gear and replaces two gun mod slots

    You will have gained 3 offensive slots compared to using greens for a 3 piece negotiator plus the benefits of the 3 yellow set pieces.

    That leaves one piece with really nothing to go for. 10% headshot dmg is garbage for smg.....

    I was looking at some stuff in the crafting bench and notice the lowly Improvised Knee Pads....they give 4 offensive slots...so you actually gain another 10% crit damage, you just need to roll dmg, one of the crits, any, red mod or dmg crit crit any mod and reroll the stat or the mod.

    If you get too much crit hit chance, just start rolling crit dmg on your gun mods.

    So they developed a game where the highest damage spec uses no gear sets and the lowest item you can craft at max level.

    I know this yellow setup is the most dps, dmg, etc. for SMG...it will give you max crit chance and max crit dmg compared to any other set up you can go for.

    I agree that green are bad, but for max dps u want LMGs and

    2-3 providence(named chest with perfect glass cannon), backpack with vigilance, holster ( could be replaced by ceska or groupo sombra

    yahl named mask with 22% health dmg
    petrov named hands with 11% armor dmg
    overlord armaments kneepads with 15% out of cover dmg

    every item is ofc WD/CD/CC +red socket(mask, chest, back)
    named items are replacing one of the above, but provide much better stats instead of it.

    The problem with gear sets is that they have only one secondary stat. Plus their 2 and 3 pieces bonuses should be higher.
