I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Tried last night but the drop in performance in other areas was so substantial. I managed to increase my toughness to 280k but at the cost of reducing Primary DPS down to 135k as it was the only way I could retain my Skill Power above 30k.

I think its a matter of me waiting for gear drops now as I just don't have enough pieces of the same quality and scores to tinker with at the moment. The drops I got last night (including the Cache from levelling in Underground) were ... awful ... ONLY 182 drops in-instance whilst I'm GS 231 and the guys I ran with were all 201+ and my Cache was a 229GS pistol (which I already have one of but far far better stats). 

Oh RNGeesus .. why do you forsake me?!? Only positive from last nights Underground activity was some Phoenix credits (daily), tools and weapon kits that I picked up. Still having fun doing the runs but random groups I'm joining at the moment seem to all be CoD-style players who just want to run right up to the bosses and facehug them to death and naturally as soon as I select a Challenging mission and they do that the whole team melts.

Shoot me a friend invite on uplay. xTech. is the name I'm using now.  Ill see if I can help you run some of those challenging/heroic underground or whatever you want.

 
Sounds good. Its 9:20 am where I'm at now. I'm usually on around 3 pm-4pm (sometimes earlier) central US time zone.
Only noticed you online after I was logging out buddy, I was trying Challenge level in Underground and struggling due to the apparent further stealth nerf of DPS in the last 48hrs (and my DPS is now down to 117k from that I noted above just the other day).

No worries. I was running DZ, trying to help some randoms gear up better.  What was the stealth nerf?  I haven't been on since Thursday.

Seems actual DPS has dropped on the G36 a further 15% a few days after the initial 15% publicised "adjustment". No comment that I know of on it but I tested in the range and it seems a drop of 14% actual on damage output from the previous days range testing (same gun, same mods, same build). Essentially the base DPS as shown on the gun went from 85k to 75k to 64k.

I would like to know if there's an official response to this though.

I'm not seeing anything on the interwebs about it, maybe try posting in the Ubi Division Forums and see if they have the sack to respond.  
My access to the official forums is limited to my time online, at home....which is my gaming time!

On a more positive note my build has progressed significantly recently with a couple of 268 drops over the past couple of days, its still far from the build I want but hoping hitting the Underground tonight will help solve that. I'm not too upset by the nerf's as I've been able to compensate by building gear to cover DPS shortfall but it would have been nice to know. 

 
Unfortunately I HAVE to have talents on guns unlocked ... toughness suffers but its 38k higher than last attempt, DPS is 15k down but skill power is up 10k. Ammo capacity is up 43% (just short of 800 rounds for the AR) and Damage resistance is at 71% (far better than the 50% before). I've also sprinkled in some burn/exotic resistance (but I think its only 20%).

Range is showing head crit hits of 31k per round with the AR (recalibrated with faster reload) and 30k with the SMG (which has a 94 round magazine with faster RoF and faster reload). Pistol is hitting just short of 21k crit.
You shouldn't incorporate Ammo Capacity into your main gear set. When restocking grab your police back pack, a random chest piece with 2 slots, roll for max ammo cap, a mask with 2 slots, lone star knee pads with a slot, an old lone star holster with a slot. Place +10 ammo capacity gear mods into all the slots. Then restock.

I end up with 2,298 SMG ammo, 2,240 AR ammo, and 309 marksman ammo. Then switch out your police back pack with paramedic back pack, then put on 2 AlphaBridge gear and end up with 9 medkits. Once done, switch out your temp gear to your regular build.  And can fight for a long time before having to restock. There is always a break in the action when a restock box shows up.

I've heard in one of the upcoming patches or maint updates they're going to "fix" this.  My guess would be if you remove the LS or police backpack they'll reduce your ammo to your new max, same with med kits.

^ Yep. You can also refer to their 'issue' list which the Agent Origins backpack are being looked at.

They will really pour themselves more gasoline if they do this without nerfing the enemy alongside of it.

Yeah, reason I've not been using this is it "feels" wrong. I know its not cheating but the game doesn't automatically refresh itself with regards your build and the knock on effects all the time.

This IS an issue though as it also means that things like DPS and other stats don't always refresh properly (causing people to post that they're DPS has changed for example). I think its clear this problem is linked to the same "function" of the game not refreshing properly when you update gear.

NEW BUILD!

Details on video following later but I've moved over for now to a pure HE build. Seems to run well but not sure I'll keep the MG5, it has nice talents but .. DPS is woeful.

Haven't really played Myrtle in a while, so she got some TLC tonight.  I still need a 256 specialized pack and a TA mask, but she played ok tonight.  She's not as sturdy (mitigation around 48%) as my 3rd toon (Reclaimer) that I've been running most recently, but I love running the turret an melting kids with the flames.
