Try this really different group support healer build for Legendary. Ninja backpack. 3 Future Init with chest. Motherly Love gloves and one Murakami. Use Decoy and Heal Chem launcher. Scorpio for CC. 6 skill tier. Put 3 Skill duration mods on and repair skills on attributes. Decoy lasts over a minute, chem heal pool lasts over 10 seconds, and your whole team is obliterating everything from damage boost and not being targeted. Throw your decoy and then shoot a heal chem on it and it can withstand legendary enemies shooting at it for quite a while.

Sounds good but I would recommend you try out the hotshot sniper build in the video as well to see if you like it. Once you have the first headshot kill, aim for a red bar for a one shot to start, the damage keeps stacking. I haven't optimized the build as well and the biggest hit was 33 million. Everything is a one shot kill after the first.

I love a lot of the analysis in here, and I'm impressed with how many different build's you've looked at. The comparisons are pretty good, and something I think a lot of agents miss when trying to build for NBBP. Things like: is it better than Memento? Is it better than a gearset Backpack? etc. Disagree on the Negotiator's dilemma critique. The hardest part of ND is being exposed to multiple enemies to get and maintain multiple marks. That NBBP build actually should help a ton to be able to be exposed and continue to get marks. While the ND backpack provides a lot of *theoretical* damage, you'll often find that the transfer damage kills marked targets so fast that you're constantly left with only one marked target standing. Not using the ND backpack actually allows more efficient kills by having the targets burn down at a more similar rate. Also, as far as the hotshot build goes, having a habs chest with a breaking point mask would actually be better damage than the airaldi you've got in there. Also, last I tested, Damage To Health does not increase the damage of any skills.

@NYLCasualGaming

Ай бұрын

Glad you liked the video. With ND you deal more damage with just 2 enemies tagged when using the backpack. If you aren’t tagging at least 2, there isn’t really any point in running the gear set. Personally I think it is the chest piece that is less useful as tagging 5 rarely happens, but the ND build I was looking at was using it. Not sure about your point on the lower shared damage. If all the enemies are elite you would want as much damage as possible to be transferred, particularly as on average only 60% of hits are going to result in damage being transferred. Also killing other marked enemies quickly with the transferred damage is a good thing to reduce incoming damage. So overall, I still very much prefer the ND backpack to NB and would recommend players use it. But each to their own. All the builds are pre year six season one. I will take your word on the breaking point mask. I tested DTH in the range and could see the damage increase coming through (in red bar enemies). Not every skill though works with it (and DTA). Notable ones that don’t are Sniper Turret, Assault Turret, and Striker Drone. Cheers

That was an amazing vid, wasn't expecting to see Catharsis on a skill build lol The first step to create a good ninjabike build is to not be a purist. I think you showed really well where the ninjabike backpack works best, rifle/MMR and skill builds. Ninjabike can give incredible amounts of weapon handling and skill damage/duration with different brandsets. My favorite backpacks are the eclipse, strikers and memento especially.

My only complaint is in the beginning when you talk about how good strikers backpack is. In practice i often find the max damage potential of full stacks from the backpack does not translate as well into normal gameplay unless you're in a full team to make large spawns to shoot all the time, or in a incursion or raid where you have a big boss to focus on. It's like using intimidate over obliterate. Technically it's more damage but jumping through the hoops of activating that damage potential is important. For me at least in normal gameplay watching my striker stacks when running both the chest and backpack, i have a time time maintaining more than half stacks unless i'm on a boss that has the HP to allow a full buildup. OR i'm using a ACS12 to stack quickly. Even with the Ouroboros, the stacks fall off so quickly after the first half you don't end up benefiting from the possible damage potential.

@NYLCasualGaming

Ай бұрын

In comparison to the NB, you only need 1 hit for the strikers backpack to be better because it is a straight 35% multiplicative damage uplift. Each shot does more damage irrespective of how many stacks you have. The same is true when comparing with any other backpack. Vigilance for example. You only get the benefit from vigilance if you are landing shots, which also benefits the strikers backpack. Your complaint is really more relevant to the chest piece which extends the strikers stacks to 200, which when playing solo is very hard to utilize fully, and the gearset as a whole. In which case I think it is absolutely a good challenge and worth testing out. If you are using strikers then the backpack is essential to maximize dps. If the question is strikers compared to a different build, it would be interesting to calculate the graph which shows the point at which strikers starts to outperform. I will create a short vid on it. Thanks for the question.

Unbreakable is optional, empathic resolve is a good one. I chose unbreakable so it makes me harder to kill, very good when your role as the manhunt group healer is to keep the team alive.

If you are playing solo avoid any gearsets that need stacks to work well because rogues won’t give you the time to build them up. I use something like this one but with the capacitor now it has been buffed. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z3qCs5p9gq-Ym9Y.htmlsi=Qbng-q-mk3Iu6--U There are some good tips for farming in this video as well. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qpaVzLWeoMqwkdI.htmlsi=JNpzP8lrMRtkLmtX Then every time you are killed by a rogue, before you respawn inspect their build. Once you find one that fits best with your playstyle in pvp, go with that one. I say all this because I really don’t think there is a one fits all build for pvp. Are you aggressive or cautious, up close and personal or from range, do you like fast encounters or to wear rogues down? All of these will influence what build works best for you.

It won't make any difference. What I tested was effectively whether the damage uptick by not using the 2 piece Strikers was better than the RPM increase from Strikers. So as long as everything else on the build stays the same, you will get exactly the same results. Do you get it? The Umbra part on your build will remain exactly the same and sill buff RPM and DMG the same whether you are using Strikers or not. And I've proved that I can outperform the Strikers part with brandsets.

You are correct. For pure dps, the striker backpack is the best option when playing striker builds. I don’t know how familiar you are with the damage bucket concept in D2. Certain damage modifiers are additive and some are multiplicative. So 10% more additive weapon damage (WD) is worse than 10% multiplicative damage. Say you have 3 weapon cores for 45% WD. Adding another 10% and you are multiply your base WD by 1.55. But adding 10% multiplicative damage to your build will be 1.45 x 1.1 = 1.595. So 4.5% higher dmg output. Striker stacks fall into their own multiplicative bucket.
