I ran the Russian consulate mission with 3 other techies... 2 flame turrets, 1 MG turret, and 4 lunch boxes meant we never wiped and they all had showstoppers and houses to seal the deal... the only time we did get doggy, I saved us with the res cannon... 3 in 1 shot too. I know, I'm awesome. Acutally, it also helped that we had voice chat (and they all died in the same place)
Running an 3.8k, 2.3k, 8.1k build with multiple skill haste mods that I was able to reroll.

Silly question (maybe):
All of those skill hastes on the various gear pieces... they stack right?

Very nice soft cap explaination here https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/7zfu1g/explanation_skillpower_soft_cap_at_450k_and_the/ I shamelessly go past that cap; when the skills are that good, a little more health or EAD doesn't move the meter much. |

Yesterdays' State of the Game roundup:
Changes to Classified Drop Rates and Division Tech
One of the recent hot topics within the community have been drop rates, so they decided that today’s stream would focus on providing more insight into what they’re planning for the future.
They are not part of the live game yet, but they will be added at a later point. More details will follow
Changes were needed
There are many Classified Gear Sets in the game and it is hard to get the final piece that you are missing
They looked at the drop rates and have basically doubled them.
New Classified Gear Set Drop Rates
Drop rates of Classified items has been increased across the board to 6% (from 3%).
The Mission Reward of Legendaries has now a 20% chance to drop a Classified item.
Season Pass supply drops, have a 10% chance to drop a Classified item.
Division Tech
Season Pass supply drops give 100 D-tech.
Daily assignments give 25 D-tech.
Weekly assignments give 100 D-tech.
Exotics
All Exotics have been added to the Light Zone bosses.
All Vendor Exotics have been removed from the loot pool – you can just buy them from the vendor
New Caches
During GE
900 Token Caches have been removed (1500 Token Caches are still there)
Targeted classified gear set caches will be available.
Each event will have 4 caches available for purchase containing the event’s corresponding sets.
You can only get the Classified Sets that are also assigned to the Global Event
Offseason
A classified cache will be available for purchase, containing a guaranteed classified drop. It will be priced at 2500 phoenix credits and will not be limited to Global Events.
Global Event token
Global Event token rewards for Resistance bosses increased to 100.
These changes are currently WIP and will be added later.

Good stuff for folks that missed previous GEs. Easier road for getting all exotics now.
More reason to do more content.
I like the div tech in the monthly supply drops, too.

The combine is ready to go.... the tractor just got a maintenance checkup (they've been ready since Day 1 of D2.... but that's irrelevant)
Might do an inventory purge or two too
TIME TO GIT FARMIN'

Good news! This game seems so much better than even the high standard it set on release.

Which is better for my lunchbox: last longer or wider range? A blend of both? 3 of 1? 2 of 2?
I feel that since most of the time, I blow it up anyways, range would be better?

Long Lasting Lunchbox vs Large Lunch Box? An age old question  Ask The Mrs if she prefers Stamina or Shock and Awe. She can't choose both - lay the ground rules. If you're going to blow early though - probably means Shock and Awe. In other news. I've had legendaries dropping - I thought the changes weren't in yet. Is RNJeezus looking down? If he is - he's taking the piss. Some mask, which could be worse than the holster, and a Tenebrae - which might be useful if I could work out where - plus another Barrett's chest. All in the last couple of days. |

Range, Reclaimer is support, you help more with a larger circle. As you spec more into Elec and SP, duration isn't the issue. |

I love being a reclaimer... I want to do other stuff, but it's just so much fun.
Joined a pug doing Queens Tunnel on challenging... the 3 of them are just getting their asses handed to them... LMB all over them... I think one of them zerged ahead and opened the gate at the begining and agroed the mobs there and some trash mobs spawned... no clue what happened, but it's like.... 8 or 9 yellow bar LMB's absolutely raping them with 5 or 10 red bar LMB's... the fan was spray $hit all over the place... I hail mary'd the res skill shot blind between 3 LMBers that I had absolutely no business making to get 2 of them up... then another hail mary with my lunch box in the perfect spot to keep them alive. I took care of the red bar trash while they kept those yellow bars off my back. But that 5ish minutes was awesome.... haven't had that much fun since I would save nightfall wipes going to orbit...
Got to the part with the rooftop climb, and the same zerger goes ahead and dies... I got tired of resing him so I made him stay dead for a bit. Then he gave up and resed on us, died, and I let him stay dead a bit longer. He got the hint after that. Once they realized that... shockingly... if we stayed together, and in lunchbox range... they could do a lot better.... we did.
The shotgun rushers in the room went actually quite nicely... and things went well. They did a lot of DPS and I just sat there with my 205 mag LMG just mowing down f$$ks, firing for a constant 20 seconds
I really really really hope the next GE drops classy reclaimer gear. The signs are pointing to no, but I really really hope it does

I think it should be a mix of all the sets, instead of going back to the first event.
Personally, I have no real skin in the game, need a FC backpack and one each to finish up PM, Sentry and Deadeye.
Increased drop rates on classified will make farming more productive as well.
And yeah, 6 pc. Reclaimer is awesome, probably the best, and certainly the most useful set.

Having got a ninja bag last night, and being snowed in today  I've built a 4 piece Tac / 3 piece firecrest flame storming nightmare. I haven't had a chance to try it yet (ya know, coz I'm working from home an all....) Looks feasible. I've had to roll off a tac part that's scuppered my normal 4 piece tac build so it had better work out for the Event. Otherwise I'm rolling again, or praying for a new classified tac mask to drop quickly. Looking forward to later |

I ran that same build for a long time, good stuff. Use your MDR, the Wildfire and Tech Support talents, and try to also run Talented and Determined on some weapons.

What are the differences between Outbreak, Assault, Strike and Ambush?
Different rewards?
