The State Of Brand Sets - Yellow | Division 2

[@Rudysattva]

3 piece Hana u, 2 piece brazos , momento & glass cannon. Technician specialization for 6 skill tiers and equivalent of 6 weapon cores for capacitor is my new Hana post update hybrid.

[@zero-r5g3d]

I liked it better when gear needed prerequisites attributes to unlock talents, when weapons had 3 talents not just one.

[@jonathonthompson8538]

Preach

[@chivo_gaming]

Good ol' passive and holster talents😢😢😢the golden era 😞

[@MrBanana12344]

I would argue that electrique is not entirely DOA because it is much easier to get a piece with status effects and skill haste on than a piece of golan because it rolls yellow, but I do agree that the shock resistance and SMG damage are weird

[@KickyFut]

When talking about a list of all of a group of brands, can you please show a display of the bonuses for each brand as you describe them? Not everyone has each brand memorized, and many people can have trouble with your accent. Plus, a visual greatly helps with reinforcing your point! Plus, you *love* charts!😉

[@helok9]

What are your thoughts on perfect combined arms vs perfect tech support?

[@SHADOWZINSANE]

Virtosuo build plz

[@joshb3024]

Didnt electric come out with elmos and shocker punch, likely was supposed to be a weird counter to it in pvp instead they nerfed shock

[@magicworkshop]

As a long g time player and having used skill builds for a majority of that time, you are correct. The striker drone is nearly useless, nerfed skill damage, skill efficiency, and nerfed Picaro's! And for fun, your skills are jammed in every climax mission. Thanks devs!

[@bigjay52]

🫡Sup, My striker drone is my running buddy. It pulls aggro constantly. I am a daily solo heroic pve guy so, Momento gives 1 yellow core. But certainly worth using 👍

[@RonaldJapenga]

Skill/Hybrid builds are still my favourite kind of build, but now they all focus more on CHC/CHD with Capacitor instead of skill damage. Weapon damage has only gotten stronger over time, but skills are just as strong as they were many years ago. Massive really neglected skills and they are falling behind further and further.

[@bigjay52]

@@RonaldJapenga 🫡Yup, for sure. But it's usually the content creators always pushing the Meta, Ultimate, Optimum, " why would you bother" build idealogies and thus we get people kicked from Countdown and Incursions if you don't have their prescribed builds on 😅

[@Dunill56]

[@Dunill56]

​@@RonaldJapenga Same here, striker drone is a good buddy

[@bsmith1794]

I think pretty much all of what you say is true but I think you run more with some pretty skilled players ---Randos are a mixed bag and that may have bearing on my approach. With modifiers and glass cannon an Empress drone and turret build seems to hold back and kill at critical times in Legendary. The capacitor sees up to 1.5 mil sometimes , but 1 mil peaks are not uncommon as well as 350k to 500k hits from the cap. Turret with artificer also works well in bottlenecks. A lot of my play is with randoms so if I see skills I go strikers, if I see dps I go empress for some parts in the missions which seem to pull some aggro off the dps guys and also is pretty darn effective in taking down rushers, chungas, drone operators, and grenade throwers . My skills are maxxed on expertise so that probably helps. Also gives dps or tank support in getting others up. If i run that in the opening fights and switch to my gr9/oro or lexington strikers I can still pull off most damage for the team. If you are in the box at DUA with chungas at the door and coming in you are glad to have that turret. Gr9 is underrated but with strained or in sync but it shines at clearing mass ads at a distance and grinding down tanky npc elites with heal boxes out due to its sustained damage that never lets off with ar or smg you see the health go down and right back up on these. The funny thing is that with glass cannon I rarely go down and even with memento on the build do big dmg and the regen and dmg from memento helps.

[@martinmiller3765]

Yea, that's my take on it too. Eclipse makes high-end status irrelevant. FI makes healer high-end pointless. I'd also add to that list Rigger, which gives you perma drone/turret, and Hard Wired, which let's you spam burst skills, so the skill damage based high-end build is completely replaceable too. Only the artillery build needs to be high-end.

[@hatintheswaghuh]

Does targets out of cover work on motors

[@martinmiller3765]

Like warhounds and minitanks? Yes.

[@hatintheswaghuh]

@martinmiller3765 how bout pvp ?

[@martinmiller3765]

@ I don't PvP, but as far as I know dtoc works there too!

[@sentinel6660]

Which other colour brand sets are there?

[@martinmiller3765]

He means the core, as in skill tier. Blue high end=armor core, red high end is weapon core.

[@soziocaust2392]

Yo Dod, can u tell me, if incoming repairs affects the medkit?

[@Youknowziara]

I think Medkits are a separate healing capability so I don’t think so

[@chivo_gaming]

No they do not... incoming repair only works with healing from you or your teammates skills...they nerfed it about 4 years ago... incoming repair use to work with medkits and talents making clutch builds the meta...

[@soziocaust2392]

Ok, nice to know. Thanks.

[@Nasus-Ohkami]

how can i get that sledge hammer?

[@nicholasnovent2293]

its a set on rainbow six bundle attacker and defender, the sledge hammer backpack is from one of the attacker

[@kymira9852]

Good vids but if you arent gonna use all yellow hunter fury with nemesis and everlasting gaze i dont know how you even play the game

[@hatintheswaghuh]

When us regular co sole players come across these mouse n keyboard customr service players in the dz skills against them be the equalizer n a good squad

[@scooternut7198]

be very interesting to see maths behind it (not that ill understand it mind 🤣🤣) wont expertise mitigate some loss to Skill efficiency on the damage side for turret / drone ? resolve failed to sort the goofy brand bonuses and the recent nerf-solve TU update made some worse still. im now of the opinion that IF the DLC ever sees light of Day we need Gear 3.0 to sort out the meaningless attributes /bad values and pointless gear/brands - i still dont get why nerf Elmos /Kingbraker the bring out Strega only to make them all insignificant with introduction of Lexington . some skills were messed up bad in transition from Div 1 to Div 2 much preferred the seekers and flame turret from OG DIV 1 they should look back and use some of the better gear sets from div one - Nomad /Tactician /D3 /Reclaimer and get rid of Cavalier /Aegis and the last 2 gear sets that are equally uninspiring

[@matteograz8099]

My DPS build is 3 walker & harris, 1 Grupo, 1 Fenris and 1 Ceska. Talents: spotter and vigilance Weapon: Mk17 tactical with Straind I don’t have to worry to keep any stacks or whatsoever, it melts

[@DS1150]

I also like Spotter and Vigilance / Companion for the same reason. Pop up and hit hard and hide. You know what you're getting.

[@johnlewis8156]

Back in gear 1.0 when you had to get rolls to switch over and then also needed to get mods for skills to actually do anything is definitely worse than now. I agree that it's the worst since gear 2.0.

[@simontaylor9362]

Most brandsets lose to gearsets so surely it would be better to go all in on gearsets, less dev time spent on reworks and more on useful things.

[@bigjay52]

🫡As a daily solo heroic pve player, I get a ton more done with Brand than Gear sets. Attributes are way more efficient and vital for clearing npc with ttk and surviving Pve Open World then Gear 4pc talents. Now I'm only 9k shd watch level, so there could be things I haven't seen and done. But I doubt it 😅

[@simontaylor9362]

If running shotgun/smg hunters fury nothing else comes close, status eclipse, healer FI, dps striker(best in slot) negotiaters, support ongoing etc they're just better at this point, but that's my opinion.

[@Slim-Thicc]

Not sure how people can play this game for thousands of hours. Must genuinely have a mental defect. I have 300 and couldn’t put another minute in.

[@peestoredinballs]

lol and i bet you dont know anything about the game at all, and never even scratched the surface of what the game has to offer 😊
