So,What's everyone doing with the new update?

[HHHope]

Just curious to know what everyone is doing? Are you guys farming the DZ now with all the HE drops? Farming DZ5/6 for the 40% increased Division tech drop rate? Trying to knock of the daily / weekly challenges. Being that rogue that sits at the extractions? Or trying your luck with Falcon lost?! Seems to be so much to be done , I'm loving the update myself and personally I'm farming gear before I hit the Falcon.

Slaying agent bodies in the DZ and taking their loot as usual nothing has changed.

Took us three tries but me and a squad finally took down Falcon Lost last night. I can honestly say I went into it thinking it is going to be fairly easy since they are just "veterans" or purple bared enemies but even on HARD difficultly it was no joke. Plus knowing it is all or nothing once you get past round 10 or so and invested so much time into it, it is super intense lol at least it was for us. I cannot imagine taking on the level 34 ELITES on challenging mode and how much time that will take to try and beat. We are all geared out to 190-200.

Man it's a full commitment. I refuse to go and even try it until I'm geared up to 190ish. So I'm farming like crazy right now

My squad had the same idea...we want to be full set gear or close before we go back in, and some new high end weps wouldn't hurt either.

Gear skill is important but your build is even more so. Forget DPS when going in, IMO, it is all about having stamina and electronics. Being able to take a ton of damage and having super strong heeling skills is more important then DPS. I run about 150k DPS, 100k health, and 20k electronics and I was the one who was able to run the explosives each time without much trouble. Ran it using First Aid (Over heal mod) and Support Station (Ammo Mod).

Interesting. I think everyone gravitates towards DPS because it's the sexy build. But I like the way you're heading

Yea, again IMO, DPS is the most over rated stat in the game. If can have 250K DPS but only 60K health you are going to get melted in the DZ by players who know what they are doing. I'm confident I can dish out just as much DPS and people with 50-100k more than me because of my Pulse scan alone. Keep in mind that with the high DPS the game is assuming you are hitting every round out of your gun and no matter how hard we try that ISN'T happening. 

100+k of health makes you much more tanky and capable of taking on groups of 2/3 players in the DZ and not having to turn and run. With the 20k of skill power my over heal works so quickly that it is almost like having a mini survivor link because it gives you a huge jolt of health and recharges really quickly with the skill power combined with the Rapid talent on your body armor.

sorta true, but a pure dps build with the right weapon can one shot you at any health/armor combo....

Got a pic of your gear?? Curious to see the stats

True but I feel like the likely hood of me being one shot in the DZ is fairly low so vs being able to use my build the way I prefer. It gives me more of a hybrid build of healer and gunner. I hear what you're saying if I'm standing still to long someone with a damn HE Custom M44 is going to take my head off, but when moving I feel like that is much less likely as it is hard to lead a target in this game with all the movement.

those that really build for sniping are usually pretty damn good at it...or else they don't keep the build long...just sayin lol. I kept that build in the DZ for exactly 4 kills, and let it go because it felt like cheating.

me and the team i was on last night gave it a shot on challenging....we didnt even get passed the broken window where you jump down into the room ...gonna be a little while before im geared up enough to take challenging on

My skill power drop just a tad as I finally found a second good piece of Strikers gear. Armor is at 55% so that is really the one thing I am trying to boost now.

Nice bro!!! You definitely got the right idea

I see a ton of people with high dps and little hp and skill power , a bit depressing and over looked.

I'm working on medium DPS(170k) and high-ish health. I'm at 64k right now I'd Ike to be around 75. My damage Mid right now is 64% which is nice. But I want to combine the Strikers Gear with the Nomad. Get the 3 piece bonus for each. (50% crit hit damage) and 20% health on kill. Try to create a DPS survivor build .

I am pushing for more HP on my 30 , my 24 has 54k hp and 39k dps with 8k skill power , i want my 30 to have 100k hp , my skill power is 23k  , dps is 115k , and hp is 73k , so i got some work to do lol

It's a great build for challenge modes though, aside from incursions. No need to only have one set of gear anyway.

 

[HHHope]

True ^^ I can't wait to get into the incursion!
