The Division: Maths DLC coming soon.

[@Lewis08]

You are by far the best, and most useful division content creator in the community: thank you very much from me and hundreds of others. Keep up the excellent work :)

[@joeysblackchild6948]

MarcoStyle fuck you, bitch.

[@gamingjunkie707]

Balistic Ri0t yeah pretty much no one's left playing it.

[@chivo_gaming]

Amen...Marco was the 1st KZbinr I came across and I been with him ever since then...he tries to help the Division and comes up with useful ways and ideas that we can all live with...(except for the timer and damage on the Sticky Bomb...R.I.P one shot sticky)...unlike SkillUp...playing Mario's Dream house...coming back to the Division creating a rift in the community...then going back to playing the Kardashian's dresses for him and her on his tablet...Macro brings some Style (No pun) and class to the Division...

[@soma03678]

At least he does something positive and helpful unlike some shit youtuber like 21Kilotwat.

[@Out_on_a_Limb_Life]

Frince Francis If you don't like the game don't watch the videos and quit bitching to those of us that do.

[@gourmetjayy]

You get us, you get the game. You deserve to be part of the team that makes Division 2. My fav Division channel 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@KATAIRGaming]

Gourmetjayy Sensei Jayy over here. 👌🏻😫🍑

[@curtisjulian2652]

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

[@darianalejandro1489]

@Curtis Julian Instablaster =)

[@curtisjulian2652]

@Darian Alejandro I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@curtisjulian2652]

@Darian Alejandro It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

[@flynngames4703]

You have the most useful videos out of all the division content. Thank you. Massive should be paying you!

[@agenttc-radboi2846]

I've got my pen and notepad ready Mr. Style. I'm also early for The Division Class.

[@GR8Trollio]

I can’t thank you enough for these tip videos. The strategies you quickly cover are priceless (like using a shield with ballistic shield ADR mods, using a med kit with Crit Save BEFORE popping your Booster shot…it’s a lot to take in but that’s what she said to the other guy).

[@heydude5563]

What would we do without you Marco. Thanks for another very informative video. You make the Division community just a little bit better.

[@kwest419]

after coming back to the game after a long hiatus (stopped after incursions first launched) it's almost self-defeating to even bother with anything DZ related. took a stab at last stand after spending a day or 2 getting my gear score and relative stats up to par (so i thought) i found that all i was useful for was keeping the npc's from roaming through the home base because no combination of weapon and special ability allowed me to last more than a few seconds under fire against other players. with these gear sets and all these new changes, i've spent more time on google and youtube trying to learn stuff than i have actually ingame... this vid is beyond valuable for returning players like me and i appreciate your efforts to make all this stuff understandable.

[@THATGUYDJ321]

The Division the game that proves your math teacher right when they say "you will use this later in life".

[@littlebignuts02]

Unbound hahahaha to which I replied, "ha yeah rite sir" shame!😑

[@MCHAIRY1]

Unbound Really? Cause I didn’t see Marco use any algebra here.

[@Fierce_King]

Unbound except we didn't have to write a power paragraph about it and find the slope in the graph to calculate the coordinates of x

[@manu-qi5uq]

Ive watched each and every video you posted about the division till date. Your videos about the best game ever created make me happy.the content you post in your videos are EXTREMELY USEFUL. Best youtuber ive seen soo far. Hats off man.

[@MANTRAPLAYSGAMES]

rache omnes get rid of that watchdogs icon... Sorry not sorry

[@Croniken]

I have been watching your vids for a while now and you sir are one of the best divison KZbinr out there! Keep up the great work!

[@winchester2593]

They should hire you already and make you a community manager! Love the vids man, keep it up

[@chiefrocka9913]

Always count on Marco styles to bring out the best content. Very much appreciated

[@markuspfammatter2801]

I enjoy your videos, the best part being you don’t just give a build but explain in detail the reasons to it. I do have a request for a video though, I am a returning player and have a hard time finding information on hard caps, soft caps and diminished return information. It would be fantastic to have one video that compiles this type of information in one area. Thank you

[@patrickatkins8366]

Thank you Marco. I did not know the shield damage resistance mods applied to the shield also . I just tried it out and it helped my build every little bit helps. thank you for all your time you put in your videos.

[@sweatytrees2294]

Thank you for this video. I was using Robust and Sturdy on my PvE Build. Now I can change that, and use something more effective. I feel if Massive were to change these talents to additive, more players might use them in PvP/PvE giving a little more build diversity. Anyway thank you for all you do and see ya later!

[@CurryCommando]

Man, you've come a long way since that gta v let's play series and halo wars videos. I loved those series to death. Glad to see you're doing well.

[@RossMalagarie]

Thanks Marco this helps me A LOT! I am a face tank and toughness is my what I need, since I use the shield now for solo and group PVE play this info will help me change A LOT of my stats. Thanks!

[@johnlewis8156]

Just tried stacking robust and sturdy with mobile cover and damage res mods for mc and went from 31% to 50%. And I haven't even added resist all rolls on my gear!!! Totally different setup from my normal deadeye build!!! Also with less electronics and my Mc health is with in 10000 of what it was with 7.5 Mc health mods. Absolutely the best info!!!! Thank you very much Marco! !!! I can't wait to min max this build now! !!!

[@joshuamclaren7529]

It's obvious that Marco is an amazing youtuber when I can't stand this fucking game but I still enjoy watching videos on it by him.

[@-david6690]

another great video, thanks marco. Thought, I tested mitigation when shield up back 1.6 when our team tried lost signal, it was definitely not applied to the shield back then. That's one the big problem with this game... we as players has no knowledge on this kind of stuff... I know this game isn't competitive game like overwatch, LOL. but still... massive should release all this info.

[@TinyT0ny]

what you said is just true .... So many things massive could work on, with a little effort just to make the game MORE versatile.

[@tylerbarrow2996]

man i had good times in this game i quit playing on ps4 but i still watch you im more focused in destiny 2 now

[@carnab]

I use shield almost all of the time and I sold all of my shield damage resilience mods a few hours before this video to save stash space :) I want to die :)

[@GhostSandman91]

This man does his research. He needs more credit, good job dude.

[@heathwilliams9754]

I feel like your accent is getting better. Good job Marco!

[@V3rmilionT1nto]

Great vid as always, however while it was insightful to know 6 piece Final Measure buff is useful albeit when the right grenade falls at your feet. You did not mention the armour mitigating buff ? From Hunters Faith set. While yes many players would discard this set in a heart beat, but some have found some niche builds with this set usually with the Pakhan or lmg to provide the group with that buff constantly depending on range. So I was surprised you did not mention this in the video, unless that needs to be explained entirely in another vid ??

[@V3rmilionT1nto]

Chivo Gaming "dead" for you maybe... but not for me or other players. I still have some pieces of HF sitting in base ops and most of those pieces have high armour and stat rolls so I personally say I wouldn't call it "dead" set.

[@chivo_gaming]

NinjaDan24...i have a set as well just in case they rework it...but it is a dead set...if someone is playing with it it's extremely rare...

[@pl255jp]

Yeah I built that facetanking hunters faith back in patch 1.4. Then they altered some armour stats and it became useless. It is getting a rework though so hang on to a few bits. You never know what massive will do with it ;)

[@SMongan02]

I really hope they change the way buffs and debuffs work. Just the way you say robust, sturdy, and Barrets's would be buffed just from going additive. And make the gun talents the same. No need for the difference in the way everything is calculated. Great video as always Marco.

[@nancemichalos8124]

Another awesome video, Thank You! To be honest though, I wonder if Massive even knows half this stuff that you show us... which is maybe why they have so many problems!

[@mreastbeast9]

Another quality video. Thanks Marco!

[@Alan-zf1xj]

I got my brother to make a solo challenge mode build since he doesn't play with me alot. Ninja, two piece defense and two piece final with a single nomad. It actually turned out to be a lot better than I expected.

[@harrynacman]

Good work Marco ! Love your vids.

[@landonkeats1017]

Hey marco, i did not even understand midigation so thanks helped my character a.TON

[@SgtRock4445]

@marcostyle I'm getting the feeling that you know The Division better than the devs😅

[@AcidUsagi]

I'm a new to this game but can you explain please why your gear score is so low talking about 256 when you can get gear over the 280's . As this is an older video I take it that the they have had increased the item level cap?

[@MyrtleBeachBilliards]

MarcoStyle you did a ballistic shield alpha build video a while back (I think it was last November). It would be cool to do a new one with the ninja bag, decisive gloves, 2 three piece set bonuses and the updated knowledge of damage mitigation.

[@mrcleanup14]

Would love to see a newer video of this for 1.8

[@donaldsacramona229]

So I was wondering after watching the video that the Rejuvenated mask could be a really useful piece because it gives you 40% all damage mitigations. When you pop a medkit and if you have Critical Save on top of it thats another 20% mitigation that would give you 60% just by pop a medkit in the last segment of health. Thats pretty strong and I never hear anyone running with that mask. Most players use Refresh or Tenacious. I was just thinking am I missing something?

[@HoverCat]

It's not damage mitigation. It's resist all. Same as Bleed Resistance, Burn Resistance, or Shock Resistance, etc, but a bonus that will affect all those at the same time

[@donaldsacramona229]

HoverCat I got you I misread what it said

[@fuckeverybodycom]

That’s 2% healing while under status effects refreshed is better because all healing is improved while while in last health segment by 30%

[@fuckeverybodycom]

Oh wait the rejuvenated mask it’s good as hell for status effects will cost you a med kit though

[@curlifried_gaming]

Extremely helpful dude, thanks a bunch, made my gameplay 3x times better.

[@djwildchild]

you know more about the game than massive lol nice work man 👌👌

[@D3athW1ng]

As usual Marco - fantastic Post.

[@lucas.avilas]

Amazing as usual Marc! congrats from Brasil.

[@JerryCanTheThird]

Sorry, Im gonna be that dude... 5:42 the less than sign is turned the wrong way

[@JerryCanTheThird]

haha.. I know, we all think less of you now and we are forming support groups to deal with the disappointment :) Also, thanks for a great vid as always

[@jackreacher6905]

was just thinking the same lol, good for pointing out :D

[@unsubme2157]

JerryCanTheThird fuck sakes, thanks to you i literally cannot enjoy the video. Immersion is broken.

[@Frankhill425]

Another quality effort Marco. Thanks

[@larryjohnson150]

The one thing I have to say is "multiplicative" is very fun to say, which I think is why Marco says it so much, lol. Multiplicative, see try it, you'll like It!

[@lightede]

Thanks for the hard work on these videos. Very helpful and informative

[@Itzdecode]

What about hunters faith 4 piece talent? Or battle buddy character talent?

[@Retrophoenix-]

I have played TD since day one and I didn't know any of this I always thought 33.5% was the cap for damage mitigation thanks marco awesome vid

[@jhall100]

damage mitigation has been changed a few times, it hasnt always been this low but they need to raise it back up

[@sergiomorales8273]

Josh whys that? Its fine as is... though i do miss my 1.5 toughness

[@demure4398]

Hey Marco thank you so much for this content, it's a live saver

[@fergalofar]

Question, if max armour adds to toughness 5%, and toughness is a curve, doesnt it count for more with the other buffs (crit save, on the move, booster), I mean its a 5% push closer to the high end of the curve where it matters more.

[@toptophe]

As always a very clear (and mathematical) video! Many thanks guy for all your help!! See you later

[@DeathWish92]

You might of explained it in the video but I can't remember a word of what you said...all damage resilence, how else can you get it besides the booster shot and poping a medkit at low health. I feel this is why a burst MP5 can take me down with one burst it's frustrating

[@LiquidZero_]

will you be posting a 1.8 update?

[@iamnordtherealone]

Realy NIce vid Marco! It would be interesteing if you threw in the dmg mitigation from Hunters faith in there. Me and my friends have done some testing and i mitigates about 1% dmg per meter. I know that a lot of people say that it is a bad gearset, but when you can give the whole team about 5-15% dmg mitigation per bullet with a high rpm weapon i think that it is usefull. I know that it is not OP and the numbers may seem small sometime. But if i can make a team member mitigate 1 or 2 more bullets in pvp and in turn take down a other agent. Sure i have to trade bullet for bullet and sure i have to hit the target. But then the 20% range that give me 20m+ full dmg on my MP7 comes in its best use. becuase i think it is easier to land shots if you are not to close

[@yorkshirepud6676]

Thanks Marco great shield info as well, will use it.

[@SilverWF]

2 things: 1. There 2 similar stats in the game: "Exotic damage resilience" and "All resistance" (that were implemented instead of armor rolls in 1.6). Why the hell they made a 2 the same stats? >< 2. About Ballistic shield. Shiled HP mods has a bigger value. I.e. I have 4 mods by 7%, that is equal to 28% extra shield HP. Shiled resilience mods has only 5% as max, so it will be 20% extra damage resilience. SO what is better: 28% extra HP with 10% resilience or just 30% resilience? In your example at 9:50 there is no info about mods, also the right guy are using blue ult. It would be nice to have tests: HP mods vs Resilience mods in seberal different, but always equal conditions: with no extra buffs, with crit save, with booster shot, with blue ult, with all of them. Found this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hInHh3quZ9yNlZI but maybe, you can make something more deeply about that.

[@JAS0N_M00RE]

I know you said something about it but can we get damage Resilience without using player talents or skills because most of this one went over my head unlike the damage one which I understood

[@thegeekfam]

So for my gear attributes should I spec into health or all damage resistance?

[@marcinkapinski1806]

Helicopter turret in clear scy and turrets in Falcon Lost - bullet damage or exotic damage?

[@alidib9284]

Bullet

[@barrychung11]

What about Hunter's Faith, I am always curious how that really work, it is very confusing, any insight on this?

[@benbland8304]

damn! number 2 Edit: Your channel is turning into a mathematics channel... All the recommended videos on the side of my screen after watching this are math tutorials XD

[@j4ck_tr4vels50]

Can you shed some light on another subject, does the predatory talent on weapons benefit nomad or striker?

[@ronaldmelo1775]

Could you show us your final measure pve build (talents and prototype performance mods)?

[@Daiyns69]

For those of us who want more in depth can you post this in the division subreddit in a transripct version as well as the additive and multiplicative video

[@tclifford24]

Hey, i wonder if u can make a vid on a possible rework fmfir the Hunters Faith gear set to make valuable in PvP/PvE, so that it isnt a dead Gear Set

[@flipfilms1759]

How about the small damage resilience stat rolls on gear?

[@crawford4126]

So is it better to get say 3% all damage resilience on gear mods then 3k health?

[@junaidislam3565]

love your voice.you are the real division guy

[@gamingbless6450]

what do you use to edit videos? for example adding those graphs on top. Great video very informative and detailed.

[@ANT305Dede]

Shield players everywhere are thanking you Marco. But quick question. I get the math and all with the Damage Resilience vs. Shield health but for D3 users isnt overall shield health (up time) the overall goal? Seems a bit risky waiting till the last health segment to proc these bonuses.

[@ELVIStheDotA]

I did the math and if you equip 4 '5% Ballistic Shield damage resilience' mods you get slightly higher effective shield hp than equipping 4 '7% Ballistic Shield health' mods.

[@Osmosis909]

How how how how how...is your Firepower and toughness so high!?!?!? Good vids btw :)

[@3Minotaur3]

The feeling that while watching this vid, you got the impression that you need a degree in nuclear physics to unlock the full potential of this game...

[@bodeproducoes]

Great video, thanks again. Marco or anyone else: I missed Hunter's Faith 4pc buff in this. Mostly because I never tried a hunter's build. I guess it works as a straight armor increase, so it should be additive. Not sure if there are any tricks to it though... Thanks.

[@johnlewis3211]

I use dead eye and mobile cover and a quick break down of adr with mobile cover would be great please.

[@mikemd1014]

Can you get all damage resilience anywhere but talents and skills ??

[@agentscrappy9693]

Hi Marco, when i put that formula into Excel im not getting the same out come. Does Excel need it done in another way?

[@hanspansen5011]

great video - as always!

[@lieuwedewolf2476]

I am still runing a shield but have not been playing for a while now and honestly I feel kinda lost. Is it still ok to run d3fnc so I can use a sub machine gun, because I feel like I'm kinda wasting some gear upgrades. A little clarification would be much appreciated.

[@soarlozer2808]

Can you do one for useful weapon talents for skill builds. Seem too many rely on getting a kill which is hard when dps out damage me when i am support with the heal + heal/support/pulse etc. Only thing that looks useful is cadeceus.

[@julianrodriguez8911]

hey marco, i got a question brother does the 6% self heal mods work with medkits & support station?

[@leandrodutra329]

what's best EDR or ADR to counter predators bleed? +MarcoStyle

[@tburke480]

Another informative video, your a smart dude bro! Much respect, math was never my forte lol!

[@manfredpohlemann]

Hi Marco, aren't there ADR stats rolls on items possible?

[@dirrrtydawg9772]

Wait. So EDR is a waste unless your using Final Measure?

[@Limaragao]

I did the solo build of the other video, but i only got 250k toughness. What i should change to get 300k like everyone else?

[@ROGUE_ZER0]

So with this knowledge, what in your opinion would be the best PvP/ PvE or all around build to run? Great video btw.

[@johndoe-he6qe]

With 1.8 stamina scaling changes in your opinion whats the new baseline going to be for "toughness"iam thinking 350,000 to 375,000.

[@xDavid831]

Okay What PVE talents should I have on a gun? What PVP talents should I have on a gun What gearset is the best to work around toughness but having 6k firearms, 5.5k+ electronics, and 2.8-3k stamina.

[@ELVIStheDotA]

PVE you probably want Responsive, Destructive and Ferocious. You can swap Responsive for Prepared in case of snipers. PVP you probably want Responsive, Competent and Adept (if you can stack Adept). If you can't stack Adept that well you could go Brutal (although you need to land alot of headshots).

[@SPACEWORLD198]

marco help me build a pve gear for hardes level but i dont know how to do it

[@jerrymcdaniel6643]

What about the resist all bonus on gear and mods? Still have no idea how those work

[@ELVIStheDotA]

All resistance adds to all your status effect resistances, it's generally bad

[@DegziPL]

great video help a lot.

[@hugedabs5827]

Marco what is the most powerful skill build?

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

I don't understand why Massive decided to nerf armor, remove the armor rolls from gear and replace it with extremely high health rolls whole simultaneously nerfing stamina rolls by half per point. Massive wanted people to be able to use major attributes other than armor but now we're stuck in the same problem with health rolls for our major attributes. Why not make stamina 30 health per point again and remove health rolls on gear so we can actually use other major attributes and invest into stamina in order to be tanky?

[@esolis60]

Awesome videos man

[@masterkiller990]

Damage resistance is capped at 60% not 75 anything over is a waste or is lost. can look this up on Google hard caps and soft caps on a reddit link. This is where I go to adjust and create my builds. there hasn't been an update buffing weapon resistance/ damage resilience.

[@RavenousSix]

Marco which mods are best? Skill power? Crit Chance? Health?

[@King.Lamad.]

I wish they would bring armor back 😢😭, i miss actually being a 650k tank

[@bryanmarquez9633]

Can you make a good class using the shield with smg and make the class good

[@dyl8918]

Your voice helps me sleep

[@JeyD02]

What about gear mod, crafted one can give you 2% all damage resilience
