Does anyone else farm or get excited over cosmetic things? For the invasion sets I’m two pieces away from finishing all three. That’s kinda cool I think cause I get another mask when it happens.
Yes, I have all the grey cosmetic items that drop randomly around the city, all the gun skins and armor dyes, all the premium cache drops I wanted, and am about to finish up the event stuff.
You do get another mask, but for some dumb reason when they fixed it so you could wear a hat and a mask they disabled the ability to wear a uniform and a mask.
Are there specific skills I should avoid. I don’t see others use seeker mines but I love them. Am I missing out by using them?
Also should I concentrate on any one specialization? I’ve yet to start dumping points into them.
Offensive skills are bad in Div 2 still and there's no indication that will be changing anytime soon.
I've been using Reinforcer Chem Launcher and Revive Hive since about level 15 and I see no reason to change that up now. Only thing that will get me to swap is when I complete my LMG build and need to drop Revive Hive for something like flame turret or the defense drone so I can keep my skills on cooldown for On the Ropes. Assuming they don't fix the bug that triggers that talent when the Chem Launcher is down only 1 charge rather than empty like the talent description says.
Demo should be your first spec imo. The grenade launcher is just ridiculously more powerful than the other two spec weapons, and even with the current issue with ammo not dropping it's still a must-have. Survival would be my second choice for incendiary grenades, AR damage, and the xbow (the sniper spec rifle is just terrible, and even with the "fix" it still misses for no reason).
Yeah the end game is totally broken, you can quickly get a meh 480+ GS set which is all you need for the raid which isn't out for another 2 weeks yet. The effort between just getting "whatever" that semi works and a "great" set at 500 is so ludicrously involved for a really questionable benefit.
I mean, if you want to be carried through the raid, sure. It takes quite a bit of effort to get an optimized build, but I can do several times more damage with my AR build compared to someone with a hodge podge of crap that just increases their GS. [Edit: I do get the frustration though. I've been working on a LMG build and aside from a decent GS500 M60 and some gear I had stashed at 450, I've made zero progress towards it in 3-4 days of farming. People who didn't farm WT4 for weeks waiting for WT5 are at a pretty large disadvantage.]
I really doubt the raid will be any sort of gear reset. They'll probably just let it drop slightly higher GS, and without a ground-up redesign of the game's loot system (which isn't happening in ~2 weeks) GS will still mean fuck-all compared to having optimized talents and stats.
