    What do you think is the worst gear set?

    Simple question as stated above, what gear set do you think is the worst. Please no smart-*** answers like "all of them"

    I'm using this since the forum tool doesn't allow more than 10 choices and we have currently 12 of them.

    System corruption is pretty meh. I tried it in PVP a couple times when it first came out. It got destroyed by unbreakable. Stashed it.

    Tried the rework, the base armor kit cooldown was just too long to satisfy the div 1 player in me, even though it was already long enough the first time around. Restashed it.

    Anyone who says something other than Tip of the Spear hasn't played the game enough to be qualified to answer this question.

    System corruption is close, but at least has some redeeming value of healing. TotS is just outright bad though.

    Honorable mention goes to Foundry Bulwark and Future Initiative for having the lion's share of their potential locked behind the continuing sh*tshow of raid exclusives, but are otherwise good sets.

    I use to think TOTS was bad also until i got bored one day and made a build out of it and to my surprise its actually pretty good. It gives some really good weapon damage, I put striker below TOTS.

    Yeah...its all pretty close at the bottom of the barrel.

    Striker 4pc is pretty bad due to the buggy nature. But Striker 3pc is really good for AR or LMG builds. So I rank it above the other two.

    Huh, actually one of the builds i once used in legendary is a tip of the spear, since it helps to deal with robo dogs and heavies from far away

    Do you use that build all the time, or just swap to it for the dogs? And does it work better than simply jammer pulsing them?

    It's not so much that TotS can't be used. It's that what you get for it isn't worth losing brand bonuses and the extra attribute off each piece. Combined with specialization weapons being mostly garbage most of the time, and group synergy generating more than enough spec ammo already.

    Well it's an unconditional good damage buff for 60s and it also self sufficient at least. But it was more that i was already with my tip of the spear build when i joined in and forgot to switch, but since i only realised when the gunfight started i just rolled with it and it worked fine, of course someone with a jammer works better when they have high skill build, otherwise it wasn't half bad

    Tardigrade chest with 4 tots and sharp shooter.
    Back when IH raid was popular with my clan provided a handy team build.
    I voted system corruption btw.

    I have recently created a build using three pieces of System Corruption for the 100th floor of the Summit, and for generally killing Hunters. Pair with distruption resistance mods, the hunters can't jam my skills. The build is best used in a group, so my DPS team members can kill the hunters while I get them in a shock trap, foam them, and throw EMP grenades at them - or I just go with the jammer and the foam and then I can cream their stupid turrets too!
    Unfortunately, this build does not work against Keaner in the Liberty Island mission. So lame.

    I voted for Aces.
