Roughly a week ago i made a vote to see what where the worst gear sets (https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthrea...worst-gear-set). As of the moment i am posting on this thread these are the top 3 worst gear sets in the game by random forum votes
It was mostly as i expected (but i didn't expect tip of the spear to reach the 4th place wiht only one vote from the 3rd and system corruption to be right up there). But anyhow now the question is "What now?" we have some idea of what are the worst ones, but what should we do with them? scrap 'em, buff 'em , replace them by other division 1 gear sets? As people say knowing is half the battle now is the time to see how you propose to fix those
Tip fo the spear has really big damage bonus and free signature ammo, True patriots is really good in groups not sure if raid people use it that muchOriginally Posted by N3mB0t Go to original post
but i very rarely see them being used ,apart from raids they arent really that useful in PVE , its just my opinion though.Originally Posted by xcel30 Go to original post
Tip of the Spear is a better sniper set than Aces, unless you don't like Headhunter. The generic all around weapon set with some emphasis on signature weapons is better for Headhunter builds than the MMR specific set. It's also the least interesting set in my opinion. That's why I voted for Aces personally.Originally Posted by N3mB0t Go to original post
As for what can be done for Aces, I'd recommend taking it back to it's original theme as an offensive buff/support set.
For OD I shared my thoughts on someone's suggestions here: https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthrea...Directive-Idea
Just quit playing? It's not like Ubi/Massive could be expected to fix it..Originally Posted by xcel30 Go to original post
That ain't it chief, but seriously that's not fixing anything. I mean this thread ain't about semantics of thatOriginally Posted by YodaMan 3D Go to original post
Quick and dirty, but I think these changes would bring those sets up to par, if not a little OP.
Striker: Remove the penalty for missing and just make the stacks fall off over time.
Aces: Instead of revealing a single card on each hit, reveal an entire hand on any headshot or weakpoint hit. Number of amplified shots don't stack, but can be refreshed.
Ongoing Directive: Does bonus damage against any status effect, not just bleed.
I have never used Striker because of the penalty for missing a shot. Having it fall off over time would make the set more appealing to me. Great suggestion Sircowdog1.Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post
Strikers: Remove penalty for shot missing, allow 100 stacks as a default. Change chest talent to make stack decay more slowly.
Aces: All bonuses work with rifles as well as MMRs.
Ongoing Directive: Just make it a more direct analogue of Predator's Mark. Instead of granting hollwpoint ammo on kill; give it to users on hits. For example: 10 hit or 5 headshot hits grants hollowpoint ammo for a full magazine. Bring back the item scoop function from Year 1 OD. Increase bleed damage in general; this helps OD as well as struggling skills like Stinger Hive.
