Couple thoughts:

1.) If you can, recalibrate the following for better options (especially the ones that you don't use OR start using them):

Vest - +22% Kill XP
Mask - +9% Sticky bomb explosive radius ( not using sticky )
Backpack -  +8.5% seeker mine explo radios ( not using it )
Holster - +9.5% Smart cover duration

Try to trade them out for protection from elites or exotic damage resilience, if you can.   Both of these will help with lvl 34 NPCs and roving cleaners.

2.) 190k DPS, 276k toughness 20k skill power can work if you have the right skills and it fits your playstyle.  I need to be less squishy so I'm running 150k DPS, 395k toughness, 11.4k skill power with an AUG primary and either LVOA or M60 secondary and 2x final measure/4x lone star.  

3.) Try to at least pair up more of your gear.  Right now you have 2x lone star (+100% ammo), 2x strikers (+10 enemy armor DMG), 1x tac auth, 1x HE.  If you can swap out your HE, for say a tac auth, you'll get +4K skill power, so you could recalibrate some gear to add to armor/health (toughness) and still keep the 20k skill power if you wanted.  Otherwise pick up a 3rd striker for the +20% crit hit DMG and then try to get a better HE for your 6th piece.  Another option is to drop the tac auth and HE and try for 2x final measure for the +50% exotic damage resilience. 

4.) What talents do you have on your G36 and are they all active?  If your talents aren't good, try to recalibrate the worst offender.  Also, if you really like the gun and all the talents aren't active, you'll want to change your build to get the stats needed for your talents. A lesser gun (base DPS, DMG, etc.) can be more powerful than a higher one if it has good talents that are all active when he higher one has "useless" or inactive talents.  

Just in case you're curious, I tend to be more of a tank for my group.  We're mediocre, at best, but we just play to have fun.  We stay primarily in PvE, but we occasionally run DZ.  if you want to see my build in action, I have a video from last night on my Twitch channel (S7_SockPuppet) that has both some PvE and PvP on it.

That's what I've got for now, hope it helps.

Hi Puppet,

First off i allready recalibrate everything, so i cannot get rid of those ''useless'' stats unfortunatly. So i need to find replacements for them. Im using Pulse + First aid.

Protection elite or exotic dmg res.. Check... I understand it can be very helpfull against bombs and flames and stuff..

I've tried looking into other pieces for the HE and the Tacts aut, but they are the best items i have at the moment. I've done tons of incursions and underground on challange but i never get any better drops.

The talents on my G36 are: Predatory ( i really like getting healed when i kill + i have 36% Health on kill on my gear )

Focused, increased damage when no skill are in cooldown. The DPS/Damage output from that is awesome.

Viciouse. Extra crit chance when at full health.

I allready recalibrated my weapon to get Predatory, i was thinking about recalibrating it into the skill that gives health on every crit hit, but i can only recal it 2 more times so i don't wanna screw it up.

I like being a tank, but i like doing great damage even more. And because i have so much Health on kill ( intented ) i just want to do major damage so i can heal myself with every kill.

Thanks for the advise ! I know a bit better where to look.

 

[DeadSockPuppet]

Sucks about recalibrating the gear, I'm kind of I the same boat with the gear I have.  The weapon talents seem good, so you're probably ok there.  

As for finding better gear, you might want to try grouping up and hitting DZ06.  HVT, incursions, and DZ have different loot tables for gear pieces.  Mixing up what you play should give you a better chance at a mix of gear, otherwise the majority of the drops will be the same set type - I've got a crapload of lone star because I play a lot of HVT.  

You can get sets outside the "main"'one for the activity, the chances are just smaller.  I've been trying to find a table/spreadsheet with which rough loot tables for the various activities, but so far I haven't found anything.

I've tried grouping to do DZ06, only i'm in bracket 201/230 and for some reason the matchmaking always puts me in the same bracket as 231+ players all the time and i get tired of rematching the entire time so i just give up.

I've also done alot of HVT, incursions, but the drops arn't for me. Maybe i just need to do 100 of those HVT to get 1 drop idk.

Ill see if i can get a group together tonight to do some DS06.

My guess is that either in your inventory and/or your stash you have gear that would make you 231+ if equipped.  DZ calculates your GS based on equipping your highest level equipment, even if you're not wearing it.  That would be my guess as to why you're in the 231+ DZ.

I am no sure about this... Solo I get put into the 201-230 bracket, but almost every time I match make I get put with guys like 230+.  I do have some 240 pieces in my stash so I am not sure.

 

[DeadSockPuppet]

I've heard that people were having issues with matchmaking placing them in the wrong DZ.  It could be that or it could be the system is working "correctly" but it's matching you with people that should be in DZ 231+ because that's the only people it finds.  I would think the system would start by matching you with people in the 201-230 DZ and then match with the 231+ if it couldn't find anyone. 

 

[g1nt3r]

Soloing DZ06? Even with an amazing build it's hella tough. I have a decent build and I have trouble soloing dz02!

 

[Addihul]

Yeah man DZ6 is not meant to be soloed.. like ever. Sure as heck not in 231+. I mean it 'can' be done, but it so ri-donkulously inefficient killing 1 mob at a time, running away, killing another, rinse / repeating. There is no face rolling through the DZ like back in the day. Lord help you if you get a couple flamers who want to burn you alive

My suggestion here is to choose a build instead of a hodge podge of different rando gear items. It's great for now but what do you want to do? You said tank? Start farming the DZ and Falcon Lost for tactician pieces. Striker is really not good anymore. Lonestar is no good to wear killing stuff. Just put that on to get the extra ammo capacity when at a restock crate, then switch back to normal gear. Try at least to get the 2 piece tactician if you're going that route. It's a boost to your skill power which you should try to get around 20k+. 25-30k base if you're going all 4 pieces so it will boost to 50-60k.

Weapon looks good. Try to get your weapons to 20% crit hit chance but no more unless you're PvPing. The tactician in your group will cap your crit hit chance past 20% of your own (60% is cap and pulse can give 40 of that). Try an M1A to snipe with? Maybe an Aug SMG if you can get one? 2 piece final measure will give you a boost to exotic resistance which you will 10000% need if you're going to solo the DZ. The cleaners will 1-2shot melt you otherwise.

 

[Addihul]

Also join the official Division Discord channel. Try to get groups exclusively from there. It's filled with tons of seasoned vets who know the strats and such. There are literally hundreds of people grouped up at all times. It's THE place to find solid players and to learn about the game. Also turn on your in game loot notification in the chat filters. You will see what people drop. You can then ask them (if in group) if they wouldn't mind sharing it with you if they don't need it and you do.

 

[DeadSockPuppet]

Lonestar is no good to wear killing stuff.

On most characters.  However, my tri-shotty chick is all about the LS gear.  Not having to reload basically allows her to roll into combat toting fists full of boomsticks and just unleash tons of hot lead on every one in her path.  

Yeah, I have to get up close and personal but with her primary having like 250 stagger and her secondary having 215, she's like a walking stun grenade against most groups.  And when I load explosive or flame rounds, that's just hysterical. 

 

[Addihul]

Cool. Fair enough
