So the game is yet again confusing me. I went back to DC yesterday to work on the season stuff since I showed the liberation of NYC at 100%... Today it's showing the Liberation of NYC at 88% and saying I need to do Dark Blades. I already killed Dark Blades and it shows on the map as "Reduced rewards" because it's already completed. wtf.. silly game.

Does anyone have a skill build for solo play? My only real gear set for 40 currently is a full skill power set. I've mostly duo'd everything with my friend who was going full armor with a shield and it worked very well. I find myself getting murdered very quickly even using cover well while playing solo on hard, forget doing challenging right now. It feels like relying on 2 skills without being able to really use a defensive ability knee caps me pretty hard. I tried the reflect shield with a few different options for skills and it worked ok but it was really slow.

I tried the reflect shield with a few different options for skills and it worked ok but it was really slow. This is what i'm running:  The backpack exotic is not strictly necessary but is just overall super nice for it. Most of the other slots have Skill Haste + Skill Damage and or Status Effects. Skills Used: Sniper Turret - With enough Skill damage you can oneshot Purple low armor enemies on solo Challenging. Airburst Mine - The Burn does just a trillion damage if you have the weapon talent Perpetuation Active. If you tag a boss with it that isn't immune to fire or a Tank, They will die I'm using the Talent Tag-Team which lets you easily keep throwing out Airbursts as long as you shoot people with your Sniper turret. The main thing is just to put your sniper turret in good locations and let it do most of the work while tossing airbursts to deal with yellow bars and flush them out of cover.

Frustrated posted:Does anyone have a skill build for solo play? If you want a skill build in the sense that you use skills to kill things, 2x Hana, either 3xChina/1xWW or 2xChina/2xWW. Get Skilled on the chest, Shock and Awe on the backpack, and prioritize Skill Haste > Skill Damage >>> Status Effects. Run Demo spec with bleed grenades. Seekers and whatever other skill you feel is good, though I vastly prefer the bleed hive to anything else. Hive procs S&A on the backpack, gives you a one-button response to things close to you, holds choke points on its own for CPs, baits heavies, and causes normal enemies to run in fear. You won't be tanky, but if you want to be tanky you really aren't looking at a skill build.

How do I get more specialization points for the other signature weapons? It appears I've gotten a smattering from something, but I can't tell what. Do I need to do the Field Research things for each weapon? Does the weapon need to be equipped to get the points?

You can only have one specialization activated at a time, and that is the specialization that will get any points you earn.

 UnknownMercenary posted:The main issue with Frenzy IMO is that it requires a reload from empty and the bonus is based on how large the magazine size is, combined with having the bonus only last for a few seconds. If there was an easier way to control when you get the bonus I'd use it. Felt like I mostly had control and when I was using my LMG it was nearly always frenzied.

So every time you’re loading that loadout back onto your character it will change the mods too back to what was originally saved. Replace the mods with what you want and then overwrite the loadout to save the skill with the correct mods. It’s actually a great feature (or at least it used to be) because loadout saving mods means you can change up your hive/chem launchers mods to assault or healing profiles basically with the push of a button.

Replace the mods with what you want and then overwrite the loadout to save the skill with the correct mods. I think this was it, my shield and turret mods seem to be staying in place. I was immediately disappointed to find I couldn't change loadouts during combat, which makes realism sense guess, but it would have been nice to be able to change from my recon setup to my little assault one as I work my way closer to the bad guys position.

Parnell was the steam / drones poo poo of a boss fight. I would think Dragov would be the faster fight once you understand the routine of minigun hopping.

The mini guns are on a fixed timer that rotates between the 3-4 of them. the lights on the corner/gun that is about to work turn bright white (instead of the blinking / red). A couple of enemies will always spawn right by it when this happens. So you run towards it, kill the enemies, then get on the gun and mow the tanks/dragov down.

Hakarne posted:I threw together a hardwired artillery turret build and it's stupid fun/powerful. I'm using 4 piece hardwired, a named China Light (+15% explosive damage) backpack with Perfect Shock and Awe, and a wyvern holster (10% skill damage). I'm using a Stoner LMG that has Spike to suppress enemies and get bonus skill dmg on headshot, and Emeline's Guard which has Perfect Preservation for healing. I found a good skill that compliments my mortar nicely for hard targets: my gun  . But really, I actually used the healing drone and focused on health repair as my secondary stat to skill damage when I could. My drone's up to 80k repair which makes you incredibly resilient when gunning from cover. That lets me spray bullets from my Stoner LMG to constantly have spike proc'd and lock down targets for my mortar. Your weapon damage obviously isn't great but it's not too bad either - you can still kill reds and charging enemies on challenging easily enough with just your gun, and you can drill the same spot on a heavy for much quicker kills.That's just for solo too. This also makes you a fantastic support for groups. LMG for CC, mortar for indirect fire, and you can also play healer with your drone. I'm digging it so far.

But are the miniguns better than regular miniguns outside this mission? Otherwise you're very vulnerable at higher difficulties for only medium-ish increase (or barely an increase if you're full red attributes).

The miniguns definitely feel like more of a group thing. If you’re by yourself trying to use them can feel like you’re the only one in Boomer’s room in the raid.

I've been having Delta-03 disconnects since the Warlords update. It goes away after awhile but its pretty irritating. Now it seems their new patch has made even more people get them. There has been multiple threads on their forums about it and all they have ever done is suggest "Did you try forwarding your ports?".

I've been using stuff like the shield and chem launcher that are effectively always available, so that I can pop them to refresh my turret cooldown whenever it runs dry or needs to be moved. Seems like you have less flexibility with a skill like the drone that's longer duration and longer cooldown?

What I meant is that the other named enemies in the Wall Street and Tombs missions (Judge, Duchess, Ron, and the last shield dude) won't drop it. It only drops from Dragov or Parnell. That's their thing with the Y2 exotics, mission-related ones drop from the last boss of the faction mission and not from any random faction boss like Merciless or Lullaby did. For example, I'm pretty sure Tardigrade also only drops from the last boss of a True Sons mission (or at least I've only seen it from from Keates in Lincoln Memorial despite the other named enemies).

Does a shield in a skill-damage build, like say with a turret for hardwired, actually make you more resilient? Like obviously it should but I wonder how much survivability comes from blue secondary attributes. So far I've really only hosed with red and yellow builds, and found the lowered time to kill on my red build usually makes me more survivable - although it's possible I just wasn't running a good yellow build (I tried to rebuild my Ongoing Directive build, stinger hives and assault drone.)

Seems like you have less flexibility with a skill like the drone that's longer duration and longer cooldown? I was worried about that too but it hasn't been an issue so far. The drone lasts forever and you can just cancel it to trigger hardwired for your turret if necessary. It's like a 20-25 second cooldown on the drone and I'm using a non-set backpack so it matches pretty close to hardwired's cooldown. The only thing I sorta have to keep track of is the drone duration between multiple areas. It's like a 5 minute duration which is plenty for individual fights, but I found it best to cancel it when moving between fights. But I may try the healing chem launcher tonight to see how it compares to the drone. I realized I'm still thinking of skills as if I have no skill power. I'm guessing a tier 6 healing chem would last quite a bit longer than it would on a red build. That's what drew me to the drone - continuous mobile healing while firing and launching mortars. If I could preemptively lay a chem patch that lasts a while that may do just fine! Hakarne fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Mar 12, 2020 |

Do you mean if hazard protection and explosive resistance affect the shield as well as you? I don't think so because the shield is a skill deployable and they aren't affected by your resistances. For instance, if you get 100% disrupt resistance you can throw a turret out even if you're sitting in an EMP jammer's radius, but your turret will be disrupted. When it comes to using the shield, if you're not shooting your gun with it then you're better off equipping a second skill. The increased DPS is worth having to stick to cover to live.

Chem heal isn't bad in this setup, and you have lots of charges at skill tier 6. What's really fun is the riot foam. Ran that in a group last night and it was tons of fun effectively stun locking named enemies and rogue agents so my team could focus fire them down, revive people, repositions, etc. Pretty good oh poo poo button when they try to rush you too.

Shields use yellow or blue pips interchangeably when determining your skill tier, so 6 blue, 6 yellow, 3/3, or any other combination of the two gives you a shield that's skill tier 6 and thus pretty beefy. There's probably better skills to run on most skill builds in terms of synergy and utility, but the shield is definitely usable on a skill build if that's how you wanna roll.
