Agent vs. Agent DZ builds & Tactics

[quinch1199]

Open thread to share your Dark Zone...Agent vs. Agent/Agent vs. Rogue builds. 

What skills and stats do you ensure you never leave home without before going into the DZ?

What builds and tactics do you always do to ensure survival against Rogue agents?

What dirty tricks do you throw out there when you Rogues ambush those foolhardy Agents?

Obviously this is to highlight that PvP is VASTLY different in tactics and builds to pure PvE and even PvE solo play. This might help Agents survive longer, or help Rogues cash in better.

Heading into the DZ I run 3 piece Striker kit for the 50% crit bonus. My other 3 pieces are just HE with high armor to max out at 65% mitigation. I end up at 3015 Firearms (210k), 3033 Stamina (95k), and 1100 Electronics (13k). Have my 1 stamina gear mod with 1,500 bonus skill power. 

When running solo I run pulse with scrambler mod and first aid with over heal as my two skills and of course survivor link for my sig. If I am with a group I switch to the from scrambler to tac link for pulse for the added damage and crit chance. 

IMO the biggest thing about the DZ and surviving Rogue's if you are out numbered is knowing the DZ WELL. Know the shortcuts, ally ways, and subway routes to be able to lose players while hitting your scrambler pulse and you should be able to get away most of the time assuming you have a little bit of distance between you and the Rogue agents. Once you are in a position where your skills are ready find the next corner you come across and pulse and turn and fire and take out the lead Rogue agent chasing you and try and kill them completely. Works almost every time assuming your weapon skill and DPS numbers are up there. 

I run solo quite often and this is the tactic I employ regularly when a group tries to pick on the solo agent.

I'm running 4 sentry 2 tact. I swap out my gloves when I'm PVP'n.  With the gloves I'm at about 270k DPS 85k health and 15k skill. Run pulse & overdose.

Going to be trying out a 4/2 build with Predators/Final when I get the right pieces. Looks great on paper for PvP.
