I had a discussion with someone on this at the last GE and we figured between farming Barrets/MDR pre-GE and farming credits during the GE we had to be at several hundred clears of the level by this point.

If you mindlessly just equip every blue gear item that drops you can easily end up with no stam pieces and then you are dead.

It’s not difficult to get in the dz and collect divtech with nothing but a decent gun and any random gear, at which point you craft gold, so no

If it works for you to only take Stam pieces, keep doing it. That’s cool. But it’s not essential once you figure out a couple dz routes and can get divtech without running into yellow enemies.

I tried Marco's Solo DZ Nomad build and even with chest & backpack with ammo capacity I don't understand how he doesn't run out of ammo every few minutes, when running 2 ARs and Immunizer instead of Ammo Box. I assume his is just for PVP only because gently caress trying to clear landmarks with that build, you'd have to go back to checkpoints constantly

Well my weekly chests got.me another goddamn Blizzard Holster, and two more Barret chests. gently caress sake.

I do wish specific exotics would be removed from the loot pool for a period after you get one. If I was seeing new stuff I wouldn't be half as irritated.

Yes! I feel like the weekly and exotic caches have weighted drop rates for the old exotics yet everyone in skirmish has a house somehow.

Regarding poo poo exotics, you might still want to hold on to any Thompsons with good perks because Terry Spier said on a recent stream that it's getting reworked. Not that it was hard to figure out because how can they not rework it

the list of exotics I don't want to see again is unfortunately long at this point. I got real sympathy for poptarts and their perpetual quest to Not Get Another Bliss' Holster

like personally i'd like to see:
-a better MDR
-a good talent devil or heel
-maybe another big alejandro with good talents I guess

that's a pretty drat narrow list. I'm sure most people are in the same boat.

I've never even seen a Bliss Holster, but if I never again see another Cadecous or MC Skulls gloves I'd be pretty happy about that.

I've gotten like 4 Bliss Holsters in the last week (and I have no other real Exotics, just keep getting that one over and over) and I would love to have an MC Skulls pair... I wanna fool around with weird non-set builds since I'm not gonna have a classy set anytime soon.

Hell yea. Classy 6pc D3 is the only set i have where all the rolls are where i want them. Now i just need a mountain of div tech to fully optimize.

Guess i should reroll for skillpower so i can hit max shield health.

How is everyone farming div tech? I can do some loops in the dz to make around 50 a day with caches. I know the WSP is dropping div tech now as well but I would assume the DZ comes out in a per div tech per hour formula? That D3 build video is insane.

is there a right way to kill those giant rikers machine gun assholes when you're solo? I know you can shoot em in the back to set them off, but that doesnt help much when they're facing you and murdering the gently caress out of you at a million dps
at the moment I stay more or less in cover and just try to spam them down before they kill me, which mostly works but is a shitload harder than almost anything else in the game

I'm a sucker, a little fucker.
Any other guides/content creator out there other than Marco? Not really liking the PVP focus on his guides considering I mostly do PVE content. I get that most of it is for surviving rogues in DZ, but eh.

Anyway, just got back into this and started over on PC. I can't believe how much loot drops now. I used to play a lot during release all the way up to when they first released gear sets and I remember how loving miserable it was back on those days. Though it kinda sucks how crafting is mostly an afterthought now. I didn't realize this and was deconstructing most things on my PC playthrough.

Yeah they're difficult, basically if you can get them hit with a status effect that stuns them, then try setting off the ammo pack and then use that time to just magdump into their face.

It's not easy though and yeah they throw tons of damage.

toss a grenade at them, use cover to cover moves, wait it out until they throw a grenade at you - anything to get them to quit shooting for a second so you can shoot their rear end. Best yet, if they start to toss a grenade and you lay on enough damage they drop it at their feet and then stagger/bleed from their own grenade, where you can then just shoot them.

failing that, enemy heavies like that love running over to kick a turret or heal station. Drop either of those somewhere away from you and they might go chase it instead of you, giving you a chance to hit them in the backpack.

yeah, this is very true. also personally I don't think he's as good at pve builds. I'm pretty sure his skill as a player just lets him smash through pve and he's not getting pushed to really think about it like he does for pvp and he doesn't put in that extra effort like he does for PVP guides? Or maybe he's just not willing to specialize to the degree I am. I'd recommend his poo poo as a guide to how the stupid math in this game works no question, and for general pvp knowledge he's solid af. But for pve, listen to me instead :v:

Assuming no one else is going for the same sealed caches/DT cases you are and assuming you don't die or have to wait out Rogues then the DZ is faster. WSP is just you and the NPCs.

Alright so I've got a day off over the weekend and my partners away, so I'm going to just sit down and grind Last Stand for those last two loving trophies and Ubi challenges. Just got to win about 40 more games and capture the same amount of objectives...

What quick and easy build do you guys suggest? My shield is nigh-on loving useless in PvP due to the damage modifier, and I don't have a group like Marco, so I was thinking firecrest or reclaimer. Just stick myself up someone's butt and hope we're coordinated enough to actually win.
