Gear Sets - Bonuses/Talents Revealed

[Ebontis]

Hey all.  Just did a run through of the new Gear sets and the bonuses we can get.  Honestly they are pretty substantial when you get to the full talent level.  It takes 4 pieces for the talent to be in effect so you could even go 4 of one set and 2 of another.  Its going to be interesting to mix and match and i can't wait for the 12th.

Great stuff! So 4 pieces of strikers and 2 pieces of sentrys is my goal. But wait, you say...

.... indeed everyone will want the sentrys call first ....

Lets look at that.

4 pieces of strikers = +20% enemy armor damage, +100% critical, and a stackable effect that can reach +100% damage.

4 pieces of sentries  = +30% headshot, +20% damage to elites, and a talent that can add up to +45% damage to the enemy, for ten seconds

+20% enemy armor damage = +20% damage to elites, for all but the last section of their life/armor/health. These are functionally equivalent

+30% headshot damage =/= +100% critical, unless your build is lacking crit chance. It's a HUGE difference. Anywhere over 50% crit chance is at least +20% damage in the long run going with critical

+45% damage to enemy =/= +100% damage to the enemy...I hope I don't need to justify that. It takes more precision, but controlled fire should be a goal anyway

Now, 4 pieces of strikers adds up to +20% armor damage, +100% critical, and a constantly evolving damage boost culminating in +100% damage. Top it off with two pieces of sentries for an additional +30% headshot, and you're one hell of a dps monster...provided you can aim.

The talents do not really excite me that much.

I want 3 each of strikers and sentry. I'll be happy with that.
