[@brainchildkubrick3645]

I love "strained" on the FAL (crit build)🔥🔥

[@iBarnyy]

i like strained for my kinda slow Mk16, killer for the fast SMG and ranger for MMR ( i dont rly use rifles, but if i do maybe boomerang) for fast ARs prob fast hands.

[@geuggis]

In-sync is constantly proc if you use an attack drone, def. the best talent for PVE and PVP

[@ramonsanchez1250]

I tend to use in-sync with the crusader shield since with the buffs on them and the add on of protector for the return of bonus shield makes it a little easier to sponge damage when having to back away from cover or moving forward to a new location.

[@westboundNinja1]

I love this game but damn sometimes I have to think too much when it comes to inventory management. I just got to 40 so I haven't even touched builds. I just like shooting enemies in their weak points and finding the lootrooms it's so fun. Bosses are fun too.

[@Lodgiefitness]

Yer min maxing in any RPG /looter shooters can be dawnting at first

[@kenster67100]

You are spot on As solo player with a 303 build I shoot from med range 50-100 meters. Ranger is definitely an underrated talent

[@ThatAbrax]

Love Ranger, packs a punch with enough range.

[@GB2G]

50-100 meters in not medium range 😂. 15-30 meters is medium range and 30+ meter s long range. 100 meters is long(est) scope sniper range

[@tonytoro9233]

The Shield Splinterer with Perfect Optimist is awesome!

[@parkerdemeyer1640]

Whaaat still uploading Division 2? Sweet. I’m new and happy to still content being made by the community

[@ThatAbrax]

Ooooh yeah! You may see a few general looter topic videos but I always have something Division related in the works!

[@chrismeyers5963]

Safety Distance is another savage SMG, thing is a laser has a nice RPM and does a ton of damage as well, it's my definite goto gun for sure haha

[@seanclark9258]

M44 Hunting rifle with ranger and first blood, the specialization are Survivalists and techniciantion. First blood with tech and Momento backpack and Spotter chest peice. Survivalist with trauma and Dynasty holster and Anrcanist cook backpack.

[@chriswicecarver3715]

Abrax: You talked about the In Sync with the Shield. I'm going to differ with you on this. As skills are my primary go-to. I would actually suggest something like an Assault Turret. ------ My reasoning is very simple. The Shield is a defensive talent, whereas the Turret is Offensive. Yes, you do the In Sync buff with a Shield, but the part of the talent that talks about boosting Skill damage is lost. Using the In Sync with a turret gives you bonus damage to both the turret AND you gun.

[@RK-252]

For PVE you make a good point, because your turret *should* hit an enemy at least once every 5s because NPCs will (generally) keep rushing your turret. For PVP however it's fairly easy for a player to avoid the turret line of sight, and if the turret doesn't hit the player every 5s the ability won't proc (except for the first 5s post turret deployment). With a shield you control exactly when it procs, so you can make sure it activates when you need it (ie right before you start shooting).

[@JsphCrrll]

The shield acts more as an offensive skill do to how in-sync make s player deal 30% more dmg. Glad it's getting removed from shields though. It's been too powerful for far too long.

[@Lui_Martz]

My go to is fast hands I go 500+ millions over players on heroics 100+ kills just because Ive put more bullets on enemies max crit build i really recommend to try it, but recently I've been using measured with an ACR-E and it melts, i love "slow RPM" ARs mk16, FAL and ACR-E.

[@erhard1204]

Well, I don't use any of these, cuz I'm more of an lmg enthusiast, so it's Frenzy or Unhinged for me 😅. Friend uses Killer on every smg though and it's really insane.

[@ThatAbrax]

Unhinged is a beast of a talent!

[@tjclarke1892]

Get of that LMg and use Dark Winter

[@martybryanli2552]

I am using in sync for my shotgun and SMG build. It helps a lot to recover lost damage because of armor core attribute on gear. Using the crusader shield to activate the talent 😅

[@ThatAbrax]

Soooo cheesey but soooooo fun haha!

[@drewcalhoun381]

That insync is really useful in the dark zone though; imagine pulling out your shield then firing. Automatic 30% increase in weapon dmg for those moments where you need quick power. Add a gun with high rpm on a high crit dmg build…

[@JsphCrrll]

glad it's getting removed from shields soon.

[@D4RT-one]

PSA it's 2023, in-sync is not working with shields anymore, use it with drones or turrets

[@thesab77]

Man every time I see your videos, I feel sad for not playing division anymore and kinda miss it

[@ThatAbrax]

We should have more content coming to the game later on in the year so might be worth a re-install around then!

[@thesab77]

@@ThatAbrax I already have it installed, but I'm not playing it. The very main reason I'm not playing it, is because my country's IP is blocked and every single time, I have to use VPN to access to game. This causes many problems for me like, most of the time even with VPN active, it still doesn't connect to servers and I have to keep changing it for like half an hour to finally connect. And VPNs cause higher pings, so my average ping is usually 200 and thats very high.

I love this video its help Alot thanks abrax for amazing information keep it coming 👍

[@ThatAbrax]

No problem!

[@unitedinorange7001]

You should add frenzy for negev and mg5. My sleipner build pumps around 16mil dps and I am watch lvl 250

[@HollywoodHexX]

Can you please post a link to the build that you’re using in the video?? I’m looking to make a strong crusader shield build. Very similar to the play style used in this video.

[@ThatAbrax]

Sure, no problem! It's this build with a few tweaks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHqwfGWBrs5mldk Swap out the weapons for a Famas with damage to targets out of cover and In-Sync and a Fal with the same then switch to the Gunner spec and that's the build you're seeing in this video. Hope that helps!

[@HollywoodHexX]

@@ThatAbrax Thank you bunches. Trying to get back into this game after a long time. Haven’t felt powerful since before the NY expansion. 💯

[@ThatAbrax]

@@HollywoodHexX No problem!

[@noneoftheabove5816]

good video 👍 you should also do 5 best team buff talents

[@ThatAbrax]

Thanks! Oooooh good call, the talents that work well with a team are often over looked.

[@brasshound4442]

Killer only procs if the very last hit is a critical, just saying.

[@the_padrone]

Skips to the end for the 6th bonus talent! ;-)

[@ThatAbrax]

Damn, I have been thwarted! lol

[@zero_grav_original]

On Nsync, how does the shield deploying give you the 30% bonus if its not damaging an enemy? Wouldnt you only get the 15%?

[@rosario086jr]

I always wondered which weapon telant is combined very good with ur chest piece or even better which one is better with intimidate on chest piece

[@Thenickchannel]

So do these talents count for pvp ? Or just pve ?

[@Intrepidman909]

Assault Rifle with In-Sync and striker drone

[@ThatAbrax]

A solid combo, nothing like adding more bullets for extra damage lol

[@23rdletterassasin]

For some reason my dark winter never procs killer. Idky? I never get killer to work for me either on regular weapons. Went to optimist and haven’t looked back. I die in dz with killer, but I’ve actually won some 1v1s with optimist.

[@NinjaKid1985]

In war, there is no cheesey. There is only kill or be killed! 👀

[@ThatAbrax]

Hahaha! Love this!

[@JsphCrrll]

This did not age well.

[@lucasdamatta815]

Do you have any ar pure dps pve build? Nice video man

[@ThatAbrax]

I do, this is an all round crit build that I use with an AR which works great in PvE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXW5p5eqeN2Ypq8 Hope it helps!

[@Nick-mf2xp]

What build are you using in this video?

[@ThatAbrax]

It's pretty much this one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHqwfGWBrs5mldk But the only differences are in the 'Top 5 Talents video' I use a Famas with the Fast Hands talent and a Fal with In-Sync.

[@YesImTaco24-7]

I just started to use ranger and it’s pretty good

[@ThatAbrax]

Can't go wrong with free damage!

[@marcok.1214]

Do the talents work through all weapon you have equipped?

[@ThatAbrax]

Just the weapon that the talent is on.

[@TheRedStateBlue]

hmmm maybe i'll try out ranger on my AR and close and personal on my acs-12.

[@thomasbrietzke7267]

Great video

[@ThatAbrax]

Thanks!

[@jamessempirek2502]

Strained is the best talent with builds with high crit chc. not killer. strained gives you 10% crit dmg every 0.5s you are firing which stacks 5 times.

[@ThatAbrax]

Strained is a great talent but I find it has the same flaw as Optimist, but more weapon type dependant, Killer needs one kill that can be targeted at a red bar then you just run, gun and rampage until the buff gives out. I do love Strained on LMGs though lol.

[@jamessempirek2502]

@@ThatAbrax killer talent you have to kill an npc to get the buff and for only 10sec., with strained talent all you have to do is fire for .5 sec and it starts stacking. 2.5sec and its 50% crit. dmg. every magazine. way better.

[@Igor3D]

On SMG's it's really hard to get use out of it as magazine is empty before you are even on full stacks. Not to mention named SMG with the perfect Strained - there is no way you'll ever see max stacks unless you shoot some bullets intentionally off the target just to build the stacks.

[@jamessempirek2502]

@@Igor3D strained does not reset and it is not per magazine. It maxes out in 2.5 seconds to 50% crit. dmg. and it stays until you go out of combat.

[@jamessempirek2502]

@@Igor3D or is it per magazine? I could be wrong. I have it on all my smg's and assault rifles unless I have no crit. chc. on my build. I been using strained since "The Clutch" builds when the game first came out.

[@matthewfowler4104]

Well I found out I have the TDI kard custom with finisher talent which I will be using and I will be using killer too cheers abrax #wealthofknowledge Cheers 👍👍👍

[@ThatAbrax]

The TDI Kard custom is an awesome sidearm, I tend to carry two about, one with finisher for DPS builds and another with In-Sync that I use for pop shots to buff skill builds with less then 6 Skill tier if I'm feeling lazy haha

[@gelokitty8179]

i like drones so in sync might be good but I am also looking for those perfect talents like unbreakable and the perfect handling for laser beams pew pew

[@ThatAbrax]

In-Sync is veeery nice with a drone, that's my preferred way to play it in PvP.

[@TheRe54per]

I love ranger and killer talents. Everyone tells me to use strained but to me it's pointless because when you switch from 1 target to another you loose the buff and do 0% extra damage. I'm glad to see it's not on your list.

[@ThatAbrax]

Ranger has also been a go to of mine, I find when things die pretty fast Strained can become a little more situational depending on what you're fighting.

[@xamunas]

How bout strained is it a good talent.

[@deadshiki3392]

Hey guys do u still get dark winter these days ? And how?

[@ThatAbrax]

You can still get it but it's a DZ exclusive so there are only a few ways to get one: 1. Farm and extract one form the DZs. 2. Buy one from the DZ vendors(If they have it at the time). 3. They can drop from the Conflict caches. 4. The only non-pvp way to get one, they do drop from the Named item caches which can be farmed through Season events and there is also one you can farm a week in the Summit. Hope that helps!

[@BearByers65]

PAWS UP! Excellent video!

[@ThatAbrax]

Cheers Bear!

[@NoblessObligee]

Ah yes in sync.

[@vSinnz]

yeah yeah yeayh, where can i get the famas that pumps out 600k damage lmaoo

[@brandonzanzig3200]

The very first talent ranger is not a good talent. It has to get out past 60m to equal the same damage as optimist or strained depending on weapon...which is past where damage falloff happens on an an AR. Stopped watching at that point. Total fail.

[@JR-kv6ez]

This sounds like an opinion piece.
