That is my current spec: 4-pc HF, 1 pc Ridgeway and 1 pc Antumbra with Clutch rolled into it. Currently using Chatterbox, which is freakin' amazing at max RPM buff, but you have to reload with as many enemies near you as possible to get it.Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post
P.S. I suspect that since my set is already at the game's max allowance of 60% CHC that Perfect Vindictive would NOT stack on top of that. Does anyone know if 60% is a set max, or a hard stop max regardless of source?
AFAIK 60% is max. But you could recal into more CHD instead.Originally Posted by Sock_Monkey Go to original post
Before it's nerfed, you can use the Eclipse Protocol backpack with Ridgeway Chest and the 4 others being Hunter's Fury.
The Symptom Aggravator is working as intended : stand alone talent
If you have too much damage, and not enough survivability, you can re-roll a couple of HF core attributes to blue = armor
I'm using that at the moment with the Grudge SMG in groups or the Dark Winter in solo, and either a shotgun (The Mop with Sadist) or an AR (Famas or Police M4 also with Sadist) as backup (longer range) weapon, not used that often as it's not the idea of the build
Artificer Hive and Crusader shield are my choices but it doesn't really change a lot if you prefer another specialization.
So in the end, it's a 3 blue, 3 reds, with all mod in red (CHD) and it's making every Heroic solo content pretty easy
60% CHC, 135+ CHD and on top of that all the talents and bonuses from the gear/combo
1.4M armor
NB: I have everything maxed out, but I'm sure it would be working quite well with some lower rolls
Is there a max on that? I am currently at 147%.Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post
Is this a bleed build?
Ridgeway pride puts bleed on any target right? I don't have it but if I remember correct.
So if that's the goal to put bleed on everything and capture the se and cause damage then I presume your using Ridgeway with 4 OD and have 1 left since ep bp is getting nerfed.
My first question is the Ridgeway chest better then OD chest?
Secondly, how about OD chest and bp combo?
Third are you using perfect sadist lmg or golan with anarchist cookbook or contractors gloves.
Whats the goal? Spread the bleed or get more damage from bleed or 50/50.
Personally, 50/50 is not the way.
My "new" OD build is vile, OD chest and bp, contractors gloves all se and I get 95k tic with pesi. Thats down from around 140k with ep bp. I have not tried perfectly wicked. With another golan piece the bleed lasts longer but not as hard.
1 shot to reds bleeds them out,
2 shots to purples and 3 shots to yellows. Of course these are single shots and all se is gone before npcs are shot again. at the shooting range.
1 blue, 1 yellow and 4 reds and se. Tactician with stinger and striker drone for distraction.
They have improved the shooting range a lot since Div 1, but you're right, it's still not quite the same as a sandbox-type area.Originally Posted by ink3pointoh Go to original post
Maybe if they refined the hooting range a bit more? It's great that they added self-damage, and skill testing stuff. All good, but I wish more stats were saved.
This is what I've done for the longest time in Division 2:Originally Posted by ink3pointoh Go to original post
Keep 2 pieces of each brand, sometimes 3. One piece that's generally all or mostly red, and one that's all or mostly yellow.
The tricky part is with backpacks and chest talents, and knowing which ones are useful on which brands. For instance, kinetic momentum on a Wyvern chest you'd obviously want to keep. Or Glass canon. But entrench or intimidate on Wyvern would some kind of wonky build I can't fathom.
Takes a bit of sorting sometimes, but eventually you just start to have a deep well of gear for potential builds. That way the farming is going to be less intense when you want to try something new.
And don't go out of your way or anything. Just collect stuff as you go. If you're not sure about a piece of gear, pick it up and sort it later.
Yes, creeping death works, clutch probably would work much better on dps, for a ridgeway pride build, I would go with creeping death and a status shield build with maybe a 2 piece hunter with sadist on a smg a the artificer hive.Originally Posted by Sock_Monkey Go to original post
