Still researching True Patriot but I don't have Pestilence so I was wondering if it's possible to make a True Patriot build without it. All the old You Tube stuff seems PVP based.
The build seems like it's more for groups versus solo and I wanted to start doing missions again with season 2. Season1 I did all the missions solo so want to try groups this time around. I wanted something else to play besides an all red build or Turret/Drone.
With TU,10, what two other pieces would you recommend besides the four TP pieces?
FYI, I haven't had an exotic weapon drop since starting the game last year so unless it shows up in the SHD weekly cache, not expecting to see Pestilence. I don't like farming missions for Exotics and no luck with Targeted loot in open world, Heroic or Challenging.
Thanks for any replies.

Well for general weapon use you want weapons with big magazines to use with TP, so you can keep applying all stats in one enemy before moving one to another, so any good LMG should work, so if you plan on using with LMGs, Contractor's glove becomes an obvious choice for glove, while for other piece i would suggest something like tardigrade armor or ninja kneepads as you could either use tardigrade to help your team or kneepads to skip reloading
How did they nerf it exactly? Because I still use Pestilence with TP and I seem to do fine with it. I’m still applying the poison to enemies, and the FF is still being applied as well.Originally Posted by desrocchi Go to original post

They mean that Pestilence's DoT effect no longer proccs the white buff heal from TP gear set, so it's no longer OP. I still run Pesty with that gear set too, but I never did go down the incoming repair road and instead went with repair skills on all pieces and ran Healer Drone/Mine. It's still tanky like that.Originally Posted by TOKYO_ROGUE Go to original post
Forgive me, I’m not following you when you say it doesn’t proc the White buff from FF. I still get FF with Pestilence using TP, so Im not entirely following what you’re saying. Not trolling, serious curious as TP is my current main build. Do you mean TP w/ Pestilence doesn’t proc the White buff at all even though I’m still seeing the White buff appear, or it simply doesn’t trigger the White buff “first”?Originally Posted by RichardOshea Go to original post
The damage caused by the plague debuff from pestilience would count as a "hit" so if you marked an enemy with the white flag AND plague debuff, you would be constantly healing since they hits were being counted, since it's debuff and not status effect that is causing damageOriginally Posted by lrigsby_081284 Go to original post
Yep as stated above and to be honest I find that nerf to be dumb. Just like in division 1 people find counters to builds and it gets nerf. TP with Pestilence Plague build was a counter for most crit builds. Not only that but they nerfed the incoming repair too which is dumb all around. In typical fashion Massive is continuing to push the idea of "Hey just do lots and lots of damage really fast and nothing more. Every super tank build we make(I'm sorry the shield build does not count since you lose most of your weapon damage since smgs and autos need reds and such to really pop. and pistols aren't enough damage in PVE) I want a build where having millions of armor matters and have other means to help face tank people. If i make a build where skills heal me, I have too little armor to outlive enemy.But run all armor build of sortsd and have no means of upkeep.
True patriot provided the armor to survive and the pestilence paired with it gave me upkeep. I'm soooooo sorry peopl who crutch to crit builds can't kill me...Seems like its Striker Vs Nomad from D1 all over again.
"Waahhh!! Mommy Nomad is beating my Striker and I dunno what to do." Sorry buddy its called a counter for a reason...You want to do massive damage, then I'll just outheal or outlive you first. So dyumb how me having almost 5 mil armor can lose to someone with barely 1 or 2 mil because of his damage compared to mine without healing.As I find using skills does nothing if they kill me before I can even launch it.
Simple thing can be fixed with this...Major changes need to be done to give us other builds aside from dps dps dps dps...that's what ruined the first raid for people and looks like that won't change for this one. I want a full blue tank build.kind of like ones in mmo's. let me put on my juggernaut armor and tank and poke at enemies for my teammates and proper hold aggro. I hate trying to play captain america, so unoriginal and unfun
Without Pestilence upkeep for TP is garbage, especially with nerfs to incoming or repair skills.
TP with Pest Was never OP it just pissed off the little crybabies.made pve actually fun and was nice to **** on full on smg crit builds for once on my own.Especially against people griefing and trolling in DZ.Not only that but after spending months building that build,(Before it was ever on youtube mind you) I know find no enjoyment in making a build seeing as if it isn't a massive dps or crit build it will get nerfed anyway.
