They were a fiesty bunch. Watching that one guy kill himself to deny us the xp was pretty satisfying.


Camping the dz02 saferoom and sticky bombing anyone entering is some next level pvp. True pioneers and visionaries of the dark zone

I have come to the conclusion that I am a support / team buffer player.

came up with a "perma pulse / Smart cover" build centered around use of the Caduceus rifle


It works. Well.

quote:

Doing all this (in theory) should allow me to stay around 100k base DPS, 65k HP, 60% damage resist, and somewhere around 30k skill power.


Coming in at 107k/72k/25k with almost permanent uptime on smart cover and pulse.

Max crit chance on AR and LMG, insane crit damage (85k per head shot on a 32 elite using pakhan at almost 900 PRM melts enemies quick), capped damage resist with armor and smart cover, constant healing with smart cover, huge base damage increase with smart cover. I took like 5 shotgun blasts without going down in the Lexington challenge mode.

When combat starts, I pop smart cover and pulse, then start picking headshots with the caduceus, once the recharge meter is full I switch to Pakhan for the last 8-10 seconds of the buff and melt 1-2 elites and repeat the process.

My teammates in my rando group were loving it too, reporting how much damage they were doing and asking how I kept pulse up all the time like that.

I have found my build. It is fun.

EDIT: Still have some tweaking to do as I want to push my skill power higher towards 30k but my gear mods aren't up to snuff yet. I get more benefit from my + skill power and + crit chance stamina mods vs the few purple electronics mods I have

Edit 2: this build also facilitates much utility in changing skills out. Switch out smart cover with gas mine, first aid, flash sticky, shock turret, whatever suits your team needs, but chances are you will be the only one able to keep pulse up for everyone all the time.

wouldnt they use the same ammo?


They do, but my strategy is to end a fight quickly. I always have my AR if I run out.

I'm not sure how that situation should have been handled. One hand the he drop was on the ground, witey wasn't very far. But on the other those rogues could have ventured back from the safe room and scooped it up and ran. We would have been forced to shoot then turning us rogues. It would have been a vicious cycle.

I would have left it in the ground until sorry returned.

My most prized moment in this game happened last night. It was me and a buddy running in the DZ. My friend was super low level DZ (8) and we were extracting. Group of 4 guys roll up and proceed to run up and look at his rank. They deliberated on what to do and went with kill us both. They did get my buddy but they made a bad miscalculation trying to get me, lol. Dropped all 4 of them in about 20 seconds.

That was mayhem. Dz02 is a war zone.

Many thanks to the goofs who followed us into the subway repeatedly to feed us rogue kills. (Same group?) Got me half a lvl of dz xp it seemed.

I guess they wanted that HE back.

oh wow.

come next Tuesday, all named NPCs will drop a guaranteed high End item.

gear score of the item determined by lvl of the npc.

also certain npcs will drop certain items. For instance, farm a lvl 32 LMB sniper for a lvl 32 HE FW M1A



this change is going to save the game

Ok, these Devs are complete schitzo.

Yesterday they are telling us we have too much gear, now they're going to drop high end gear/weapons 10-12 times a night (for me, at least)?

Are the gear sets about to make the HE gear obsolete?

yea, who knows. they are schizo.

they are basically gonna give us all the loot in the world but then make incursions hard as frick and make extracting said loot out of the DZ a tough task because you know there will be rogues camping every extraction zone.



people can just farm Challenge mode missions too for guaranteed high level HEs. solid

They are definitely schizo, but this change is very good for the direction of the game. Most of your gear should come from killing bosses. Not killing bosses and dismantling whatever they drop without even looking at it because the crafting materials are more valuable.

This kind of invalidates a lot of the grinding. No need to visit any of the NON-HE vendors ever, or to craft because you'll get so much gear in the DZ

yeah.


here is a protip for everyone regarding loot in the DZ for next week...

if you kill a boss and run over it and see a HE you really want, but, a group of 4 people are also there and you are skeptical of them...

...don't pick up the loot. they cant steal from you something you haven't picked up. let them move on or kill you, then respawn and go get your loot when the coast is clear. it will still be there.
