New Gear Set Theory

[WayneGSG]

Here is what I am eager to test out. Can we combine the new sets of gear to create new HE builds that give us bonuses from two different sets?

For example: I am bouncing all over the place dodging grenades and such so my aim may not be the greatest, therefore I may not benefit greatly from the consecutive hit modifier on the Strikers Battle gear for having four items in the set. The big question here is could I use (3) items from striker set and (3) items from the Sentry set to stack these bonuses:

Striker’s would give me +20% Enemy Armor Damage & +100% Critical hit Damage for having (3) items.

Sentry’s would give me +30% Headshot Damage & +20% Damage to Elites for having (3) items.

The same mind set could be put to different mix ups with (4) items from one & (2) items from another set.

If this is possible, we have been under thinking the possibilities of the new gear sets and I am more than certain that this is just the first wave of gear sets to come. Let me know what all of you think about this theory.

Almost positive you can do this.

Yeah. I think that is actually everyone's plan. I want to run 4 of the Sentry's Call gear and two of the Striker's set.  I plan on getting them all and mixing and matching as the mission benefits from whichever set up.

Since it only takes 4 items to get the max benefits and not six, I was hoping this would be the case and open possibilities for specialized mission specific builds.

99% certain that you can, but missing the 4 piece on either set will lower your damage. Highest theoretical damage would be 4 strikers/2 sentries, followed by 4 sentries/2 strikers, and in third place 3 of each.
