Am I the only one who...

High End vs. Gear Sets!

Am I the only one who finds when they get a nice item from a Gear Set (or even a couple) that it often feels like two steps back? Sure you get a boost to passive buffs but more often than not equipping means you lose active Talents from weapons for example?  I know this is so but I'm interested to know how you deal with it?

What's your plan when you get new items? Do you just keep re-rolling the item or do you stash it away in hopes of getting random drops that help for example?  Or do you switch your desired build type each time to accommodate...for example move more to a DPS build from a support build. 

As we know its all a bit messed up and incredibly difficult to understand for many, would be interesting how others cope.

I try to keep, what I perceive as a good piece, of each gear set in my stash at all time. I usually run 2 pc tac, 2 pc sentry, and 2 pc final measure so of course those are already in my "backpack" inventory but I also keep the correct pieces to be able to switch to 3 striker, 2 sentry, and savage gloves for max DPS for Rogue hunting or going Rogue as well.

I try not to re-roll anything that I get out of DZ or Incursions until it's time to start a new build that way I have plenty of options available to make the correct build. In order to keep talents active on your weapons I believe that the number you want to shoot for is 2,600 firearms.

For the Hor--er, Hoard!

I've got my three backup characters carrying a lot of set items at the moment.  Every now and then I'll try piecing them all together to see what I can come up with.  If I have three set pieces giving me +50% crit, I'll gladly throw credits at rerolling them until I get what I want.

That said, I've got no problem having HE yellow in my builds.  If it works, it works.
