one other comment on the healer - surv buff is higher damage than demo. demo only gets used in the incursion bc status effects are completely useless, but in other activities they’re not

@@hutchler Yeah, but how often are you able to keep up a good uptime on apply a status to all enemies your allies are shooting? I would rather a lower buff with a higher uptime. Sure against a fixed target, like we do in Legendary DUA, applying Survivalist, Sledge, achilles ect on the boss. Sure, this will beat Demo. But for the rest of the run, I feel Demo would edge it.

true, i guess this is where situation analysis comes in - x buff is gonna work better or worse than y buff dependent on scenario, and one should adjust accordingly

What a wonderfully perfect example of learning and sharing with such openness and camaraderie!

Hands down the best YT for division 2 content. Informative, straight to the point and no bullshit. These are worth watching unlike most of the other Division 2 "content" creators.

I really like the discussion here and the additional information, well done Dod

Great content as always. The only thing different i prefer is using tech support vs. perfect combined arms. In legendary conent there are many times when you must get in cover and heal up and not able to keep the 3 second proc whereas the combined arms allows for greater uptime on the damage even accounting for the 5 percent damage loss.

Finally some new Division vids from you, theres no one else to watch lately really.

This is The Way!!! Epic video!

I love high end builds. No stacking mechanisms or play style modifications needed. Just straight forward damage 💯 of the time.

Mommy Dod back with the spreadsheets

when running Striker with an AR that shoots very fast, is still Strained still a valid option?

Game is a complete joke since they introduced the OP Elmo/Striker and the broken Determined -Headhunter combo . There is no such thing as build diversity and being challenged anymore in this game, NPCs simply don't stand a chance and every noob is a God right now, especially since they buffet the events also in ridiculous ways.

Oh boy, I get to "correct" your "correct" video! This is ultimately personal preference, but on a coyotes build where I'm running ouro/Scorpio and an F2000 specifically for at range targets, I highly recommend ranger. It's normally not something I typically run, but for a dedicated long range weapon it's very good. Status effects is just skill damage and status duration in one, so for status damaging skills these two are simply additive together. Your ninjabike healer imo is just not helpful. You really never need more healing, and even if you did, you'd be better off with safeguard (eww, don't) or in very niche situations (Morozova) the FI backpack. Even if your only OCing revive hives running btsu are worth running. High end builds are absolutely not useless vs striker. The biggest reason is the DCH + regulus combo is just better on this build, and that's the majority of ad clear that's needed if you use it right. Even in lfgs I'm still using a variant of high end builds for dps roles on grey, fieser, Williams, triplets and razorback. The only boss I actually use strikers is buddy/Lucy, unless I'm blb one shitting where I again use a high end setup. Even countdown I prefer a high end build with DCH+regulus of striker with or without DCH+regulus. Having high initial damage without worrying about stacks will always be very strong and important. I think the power creep we've recently had is a problem, but imo strikers is honestly fine where it's at. Something with it's mechanics should have the highest potential DPS, and something will always be at the top. I also think (for above reasons) a lot of the player base is really overrating strikers. It's very good in certain situations like the incursion, but it's not everywhere like so many seem to think now. I don't think many people realize how close HF, nego, and high end builds are to it, and it really comes down to the situation which comes out on top. Combined arms vs tech support is really a matter of preference imo. Both have pros/cons, and combined arms duration is so short the difference in damage is likely going to be more than made up for. Biggest downside of tech support is getting the initial kill. 2p haps on sniper builds are largely overrated imo, especially if it means your giving up perfect HH. Have to go into the weeds of HH to really explain, but tldr, you get more damage where you need it with perfect HH.

Ranger assumes you can controll the range, you cannot. The moment you drop below 20 meters so many other talents win, and above 20 meters, the F2000 falls a bit short on it's accuracy. It is not the worst, but it certainly is not the best. Status being just Skill damage and duration is wrong. I have sent you screen shots in discord, but you can check for yourself. Both Status Effect and Skill Damage rolls are 10%, but if you roll Eclipse to Skill damage over Status effect, you get more with Skill. If you were correct, they would apply the same damage. I always find there there is one guy that dies a lot more than anyone else who will consume the over charge for everyone else, when they have no need or benefit. Easy solution, no one gets OC. Even factoring in DCH on Strikers, you only need 1 mag to make up the difference to a HE build. So for longer engagments, esspecially areas where there is a boss, i would arge it is more than worth it. The short duration of Combined Arms is mitigated by the need to stack Capacitor. Checked this with the calculator we built together on this several times. 2 Habsburg wins across the board on all front, esspecially on the first shot which is absolutely where you need it to start gaining stacks.

"power Crip"?. Bruh game is an absolute joke right now since everyone is running the same stupid OP Elmo striker combo and NPC's simply don't stand a chance anymore. High end builds are obsolete against the broken Elmo/Striker any day of the week , period. Oh and don't get me on the broken Determined -Headhunter combo 🥴

The real beauty of Strikers is the fire rate and weapon handling. I actually run 4 strikers ceska grupo. But I roll one extra weapon handling for the st Elmos to beam head shots from a mile away. It really is incomparable to high end builds

What you are using is not a high end build ,it is a cheat code introduced on purpose by the devs so noobs feel relevant and not leave the game. An AR without a DPS talent should never out DPS other with a DPS talent on it and not to mention the broken range and accuracy in the stupid Elmo. By the way congrats 🎉, 98% of the players base use the same build you do, great community of BOTS.🥴

What specialization is he using in the dps striker build?

​@DodRegnbue u say strikers needs to be nerfed. I say skill damage (drone, turret, seeker, firefly, etc) and tank builds needs to be buffed. Skill damage (besides hive, sticky, and oxi) is under preforming. Tank is useless because armor doesn't really matter, whether ur at 1m armor or at 2m, ur armor will deplete in seconds unless u have lots of armor regen/repair. I would like skill damage and tank builds be like division 1.

Screaming 😱 for nerfs again

I once met a guy on the incursion who thought he knew more than me, he was running a full high end dps build with spotter and he was talking about how he was hitting harder than non stacked striker… wait for me to stack and I’ll hit over 1million more

Yeah there was a bit of ribbing about that skill build, but overall both videos are solid info.

How does ND stack up against strikers? Personally I use ND over strikers in content outside of incursion and legendary content. My ND build has about 208%chd so in my monkey brain it's better then strikers in that content because I don't think I can build up the stacks to beat before stuff is dead

Nego is still one of the best dps builds, and is really just down to use case and preference vs striker. Niche one shots, damaging boomer, etc are specific use cases, but for general use nego has an advantage of striker at lower difficulties where the time to clear a mission/area is more down to killing all the low health targets. Even in legendaries though it's useful to be able to take out hiding targets like drone controllers, medics, and snipers who hide, or kill a chunga safely by tagging and focusing other targets.

I would be heartbroken if they nerfed striker, but I 100% understand why you suggested it. Basically any high-end DPS build is useless compared to striker.

If they nerfed striker, they would have to make some sort of change to the incursion because it is currently balanced around striker being so good

Agree with the Striker NRF. Nothing else competes with its DPS, BUT running strikers all the time makes it such a boring/repetitive way to play.

Well it's what noobs and vets are using in a percentage of 98%. The game became a shit show with BOTS running the same build. Oh, by the way it was intended by these clowns 🤡 devs for the noobs to feel relevant and not leave the game. Also the events were buffed so much that basically everyone is an immortal BOT meanwhile the NPC's don't stand a chance.... also intended.🥴

Personally, I would tell Huch "I ought to kick you for wearing that BS" , Also works for your wifes outfits-----good luck, dont die...it's bad for the health :)

Nerf striker's???? I totally agree! Bring the damage back down to realign with everything else in the game. Either that or bring back the 6 piece gear set option to unlock the brand talent.

I have to disagree on nerfing Strikes just because it out do the all red build. Thats the point for end game gear sets is to move away from brand sets. Unless they do update on the brand sets, wear you can all six and get x2 the bonus or unlock the new bonuses when wearing all six (Sort of like classified gear sets in D1, which they need to bring back in D2). For example I like using lmg red build, so I use petov three piece, but if they allow to use three more pieces of petov and you unlock three new bonuses like 25% armor on kill, 2% or 3% armor regen and last bonus has to be good like a bullet penetration to off set that pesky suppression mechanic. Then again if they go this route for brand sets, then the gear sets will be worthless. Unless they bring back classified gear sets back from D1 to balance to it out.

Striker's is very much not end game, in the manner ion which you suggest. It is rediculously easy to farm and build for, easier infact than high endbuilds and offer great DPS even suboptimally set up than what a completely optimally set up HE build can do. It does top tier, end game damage, with minimal to no effort or understanding of build mechanics.

"High end dps are pointless because of Strikers". Dude, why do you misinform the players with such lies? High end dps are the way to go in PVP specially conflict, because Strikers is less optimal because of its stacks mechanic.

17% of the Division 2 population plays PvP. So you are clutching on a very small percentage to make an entire point, in terms of numbers, the only thing close to a lie is what you have stated. Furthermore, no part of my channel is about PvP, I have seen you comment before, this should be more than evident. I have stated time and time again, that I do not care for it, as such a treat as such. Also, due to the mechanics of PvE and PvP being the same, you will actually find that Strikers Outperforms High End very easily, even including the stacking.

For FCK sake.... the first build you show is basically every BOT,ehhhh , player in a percentage of 98% use in this game. It's absolutely pathetic seeing everyone running around with the same stupid OP Elmo and the striker set. I am done with this shit for a while 🥴
