I agree with the gearing comment, and I myself am interested in what the firecrest and blind have to offer in pve. I like having some options for gear now. 
I think reclaimer sharing the use of special ammo is better that firecrest with ammo perks. Hands over.

Though the firecrest reload talent is  nice with the larger lmg.

But blind, meh.

 
The reload speed on the firecrest is nice, the rest is meh. The blind set has a gun associated with it that hasn't come out yet. I'm assuming it's something like bonus damage versus blinded targets, which will be fun. I'm just thinking of the ability to mow guys down that get blinded while avoiding some unnecessary bullets to the chest. I don't know how viable it is right now, but running hard modes I think it would be helpful. Would make things a lot easier since kills come faster, but that part all depends on how often the set procs the bonus. Is it every kill? Once every five seconds? I don't know if they have confirmed any specifics on this. I saw someone say it was every few seconds, but I don't know the variables or circumstances  involved in that comment. 

Reclaimer could be fun in a group, I agree. This is actually kind of my point of the value of underground. Giving more and varied build options. I'm sure some are always going to be more powerful than others, but play what you like to play. Play what's fun. I want to get geared and I want to do high end content, but I also want to have fun. If anyone has played Diablo 3 at all in the recent past these armor sets remind me a little of their thought process in that game. Choices, difference play styles, but ultimately viable if you build it correctly(to a point), but some are just more fun to play. I like that they are doing it this way and to me I think they are headed in the right direction. Still have a lot of work to do, but whatever. In the mean time I will play and have fun and attempt not to throw my controller when a shotgun or sniper one shots me when I am completely behind cover. 

 
Forgot about the blind gun. Seems a distant memory now lol. Maybe it is like those snipers with the green lazer scopes.

I think the blind is every few seconds. Though the flash is delayed, so maybe five. Rather it was instant as the ai can scatter too easier.

The Sickness directive also makes the reclaimer useful in the underground. 

 
Obviously it's still in test phase, but think about this for a second. Increased damage of 100% against targets that are dazed/deaf. That's a huge dps increase, and depending on how often it procs you could chain together a couple of kills very quickly and then drop another a few seconds later. Much better for large groups, but still. This would work well with some sort of aoe damage build. Just something to think about. 

Lit was kind of hard to find at first, but I did find a page detailing the weapon. Or at least what it is supposed to be. Kind of situational, but if your base dps is solid I think it might be worthwhile. 

 
Last night I got my first runs on 2 phase missions and today I ran a handful of 3 phase missions.  I run on hard mode, because challenge mode is just stupid when matchmaking, so the missions were entertaining and I had a great time (even with randoms that wouldn't talk). 

I'm the highest ranked for UG in my regular group (almost to 20) so we pretty much play 1 phase with 3 directives.  While it's nice to run with friends, it's a grind an I'm looking forward to opening up the 2nd phase when I hit 20. 

While things were almost getting bland and blah, playing some multi-phase missions makes for a good time and anyone that doesn't like UG should try multi-phase before writing it off.  I'm really looking forward to 1.4, WTs, and hopefully getting gear that's from a meaningful level. 

 
Gordon Bennett! When did you get UG.?

I think you typically get better loot in the later phases.

And 1.4 will feel like a dream in regards to loot. Most of the gripes are relative to the week patches. Not 1.3. whatever the bitching (human past time ) you'll be hard press to find some saying 1.3 is better. Well, maybe dz gankers...

And WT, let's say coming back to 1.3 jusy feels plain silly.
