Okay so firstly I’d like to sincerely apologise for mentioning the Vile mask the other day, talk about lighting the blue touch paper... Anyway I’m a fan of an AR / shotty loadout and I’m interested in your views on what is the best AR talent? I’ve been using the Test Subject for the Perfect In-Sync which seems to do well but I like the higher ROF of an M4 so I started using the Pyromaniac for a bit. I like it but setting every fourth guy on fire seems pointless when you have a 50-rd mag and he’s dead before the fire does any damage anyway. I have a Mechanical Animal which raises your skill level (I always have a striker drone up) when you kill people. Not sure if I like it as much as the In-Sync talent. Any other AR talents I should be looking out for? Preferably those that increase damage in general.

Depends on your build. If you have a high crit/dps build, killer for sure. Depending on your play style, close and personal or Ranger. There’s other damage talents dependent on the enemy having certain status effects so that would also be build dependent. I’m doing the math in my head, and it might be wrong but I don’t think strained or optimist are ideal for ARs.

I’ve found strained to be effective on an AK or scar due to the low RoF, but I’m not sure it’s optimal relative to ranger or CnP.

On a damage build with a good critical chance Strained almost always wins over talents like Killer/C&P/Ranger no matter what the rate of fire is on your AR, SMG, or LMG because it’s always on with no conditions besides doing what you’re going to do anyways. If the combat was slower and more deliberate with a greater need for healing/buffing/cc/etc I could definitely see the use for something like Future Perfect in a damage build but as it is there’s too much advantage to front loading your damage as much as possible.

Finally tried out babby's first legendary stronghold, and managed to beat DUA with three other randos slinging drones and turrets all over and dang, I feel accomplished now. The war dog backpack hanger is kinda neat but I'm not gonna swap out my unicorn for it. Guess now I gotta figure out the tough legendaries, since I want those cosmetics.

So I was curious what the fuss was here and so I put together this build since I had all the parts. I spec'd into status effect hard but don't have glass cannon on chest yet and I'm doing really good numbers while adding a bunch of AoK mods to keep my resilience up and it kinda whips hard. It's not high dps but it's also not meant to be. It does some good DoT. It's highly wide area and stunlocks most BT/WT including their pets. Also using HW over EP means I can keep my pulse up almost constantly. It's a really good build and I'm glad I tried it out. It's probably my most favorite fun run and gun build that's not my Negotiator's Dilemma/Bullet King build.

monkeytennis posted:Okay so firstly I’d like to sincerely apologise for mentioning the Vile mask the other day, talk about lighting the blue touch paper... Strained wins by a large margin; even with a high RPM if you use the extended magazine (and there's no reason not to) you will consistently reach maximum Strained stacks in the back half of the magazine. Killer if you can consistently proc it but it works better for SMGs since SMGs have natural crit chance and let you go nuts with crit damage everywhere. Optimist is serviceable but only adds to your gun's base damage so in effect it's lower than actually adding 30% weapon damage; it's more ideal for low magazine high base damage guns like shotguns, rifles or revolvers. If you're always popping your shield then I suppose In Sync works for a DPS. It's best in slot for PVP because it immediately procs off of shield usage. I wouldn't suggest Ranger since at the distances where it would be significant you'd be getting hit with a lot of damage dropoff. Close and Personal is a bit of an acquired taste; I prefer it on SMGs and shotguns over ARs since those favour the 7m engagement range to start with.

Wamdoodle posted:I just want to say that it is bullshit that this Talent is a possible roll on snipers and has anyone actually tried to make it work on one There are ridiculous number of weapons talents that were just thrown out on all weapon types when when the gear was reworked without any forethought and they currently only serve to increase the odds of something being terrible. Strained on pump action shotguns and bolt action rifles, Ranger on shotguns and SMGs, Close and Personal on rifles and sniper rifles, Steady Handed and Fast Hands on shotguns when you can only get one stack per trigger pull no matter how many of the pellets hit.

Close & Personsl is workable with rifles/snipers - swap to a red dot or whatever, hipfire the poo poo out of people (and robots). Suboptimal as gently caress, though. Kinda want to try a Mosin close-assault for fuckaround purposes. :TFRgoon: I run my Baker's Dozen with the lil' 5% crit chance nonmagnified sight myself, but I suck pretty badly with real scopes - usually shooting at medium range, or dumping rounds for suppression/drawing aggro at long. I suck at posting, too. Ygolonac fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Feb 18, 2021 |

Honestly the real story in Division 2 is helping the various settlements claw out a new life and finding out just how big of a dicks the factions leaders are. I will say through I did wonder if the guy from the downtown settlement batteries quest was ever gonna come back as a man hunt espically after what happened the second time you find him.

Keener wanted to gently caress the Division and watch the world burn. Lau didn’t know what the hell she was doing. She is a casualty of the devs having no clue where to go after Keener.

They didn’t even really know where to take Keener after Keener. Like (spoilers for the benefit of the guy who just posted) at the end of Division 1 his master plan is to take the virus printer and the virologist to create diseases to bargain with but apparently his actual plan was to just create one super virus to destroy a single already mostly destroyed city while also building and dispersing an ISAC rival to the rogue agents across the country because rogues are now an organized faction that want to be back under quasi-control of an AI?. It’s a mess.

It make more sense that Keener would have wanted to continue to try and make more money since that was his thing in the before times and Lau kinda sorta I can see the turn because her sister died and she had no one left. I did enjoy the banter between the manhunt targets when collecting intel but there just wasn't enough.

so i have another quick question kinda related to this how much of the united states, uh, actually exists during both games? division 1 seems like it's mostly just NYC that's hosed, but the intro of 2 and the fact that there are legitimate settlements makes me think it's just the post-apocalypse now, which kinda begs the question as to how the expensive and complicated technology the Division and the rogues use is still able to function, and what the division as a faction is even working to accomplish anymore like, what is actually going on???

In Division 1 it's explicitly stated that every major city in the US is hosed. NYC was ground zero so it got hit the hardest. There's an easter egg thing in Division 1 that also indicates that other major cities on the planet got hosed too. The SHD tech like ISAC was already in place pre-pandemic and it's barely operating going by what happens in some of the missions. I'm sure there's some lore book at Massive's office. And you're right. Division 2 takes place post-pandemic. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Feb 18, 2021 |

What's funny is I want to say that Div 1 takes place like only 3-4 months tops after green poison spread (which was done on black friday). It's still the same winter it happened, so all of the barriers/CERA response was done in the space of a couple months tops. It's even more comical now looking at the US. Div 2 takes place at the height of summer of the same year, so it's only another 4-5 months. It hasn't been a full year of post-apocalypse in The Division's world yet. Reading between the lines looking at the environmental storytelling it looks like DC-62 promotes rapid plant growth after it goes inert or something because that's apparently why DC looks like Ferngully in places after barely over half a year of no maintenance.
