Just made it to level 10 in expertise. Been leveling up the defender drone. If you manage to get the 80% damage reduction from tenacity on the EB and use the defender drone you take no damage while tenacity is active.

Hey thx man! Apparently some are saying it’s not off meta. But from my time playing in the DZ I thought the meta was the pulse resistance build. Heck, I even made a 100% pulse and 100% hazpro build that would destroy this! 🤣 I guess I can’t convince them all 🤷🏽♂️
@@iDentityUS ha! I actually haven't seen this load out yet in the DZ, so I'm guessing that the issue is with the recent paradigm shift that was TU15; there is not yet a new community consensus as to what the meta is. If you think about it, the funny thing is that every new build someone makes in response could *be*, or redefine, the new meta, at least for a time :D. I've been following your channel for about now, but I think now is an even more exciting time to be following innovative builders such as yourself (and tux! Heya tux, XD)
something to consider, and I get that you didn't want to put DZ exclusives in the build to make it more accessible, but an easy upgrade to this build would be swapping for a Fenris Holster with the same rolls, and the Door-Kickers Knock with Perfect Spark on it
Running all yellow status+haste build (run pieces of your choice) with cap for gun, bleed hive + SNIPER TURRET that hits beyond hard. kinetic + combined arms. I play tactical. I pull out my sniper turret at the right time and outside of jammer reach. It's beyond fun to play! Currently working to get these skills to 20 expertise.
You should also check out tuxedo bandido. His builds are really good. Out of the box stuff. He also does live stream build videos where he’ll put together builds live and explain them and go off and run them on control points etc.
And I always said what has been missing in all videos are videos of best DZ and campaigns TEAM build. I noticed that nobody makes those , just a thought for future videos. 👍🏼
I run a skill dps that's similar in conflict, it's squishy because I run glass cannon but it absolutely destroys players! I also love running the oxidizer with it. Nice build.
If you got 5 10% pulse mods just use chill out mask and an improvise piece lol. Also I use a lmg with perpetuation and damage to targets out of cover and armor. For status effects in pvp and use capacitor as a back up for when skills are on cool down
This reminds me of a build I’m currently using which centers around the demolitionist. But in this case I decide to not go with the contractors gloves or the fox’s prayer. Instead I decided to go with 1 piece china light, 2 groupo sombra, 2 wyvern wear, and the vile mask. Spark in the chest and creeping death on the backpack. Skill damage and status effects on every piece (except for the vile) and skill haste mods. For skills, I use anything that will make the enemy bleed 🩸 and burn 🔥. I’m having a lot of fun with it. Oh and for my main primary weapon I used the everlasting gaze.
I have a off meta 3 piece hanna u 2 piece walker Harris all yellow and 1 fenris or sokolov this a off meta straight damage or u can use the fox prayer roll to skill use the capcitor and what ever gun u want to use and skills.
Balls to anyone complaining about hard to get DZ items and the like. For me that is what makes this game great - off meta beating or stopping builds and you have to work for the items. It's what I've become to know this channel for.
Peace for everyone! I tried this build myself. It cost me a lot of resources and time. But this experience I had to get. To be sure. Let me summarize. My personal experience with this build. Armor is weak. CHC is low, which devalues the CHD. Skill haste is default, and this is a long time. PVE. Stickybomb on PC is a miss 60% of the time. There is no auto aim on PC. If the enemies are not crowded and you do not kill them immediately, you are dead. The NPCs predict the place and time of the explosion and scatter before the boom. Low ammo, since both weapons are the same type. For the notice. Expertise levelling scales NPCs armor and their damage, too. They progress with you. Devs will not allow you to have increased damage and armor just like that. In PvP, due to low stats and rarely triggered synergy, the use is very limited and short. Outcome. Status: very doubtful. I want to know where and how to apply such a build. From your video cutting the most successful moments, nothing is clear. Looks like I got baited.
Nice build! I run a similar build with Memento, Skill dmg all around, drone/turret. Instead of Golan I’m using Bellstone. It helps jumpstart the regen while I’m building stacks on the backpack. 🤙
Yo.. I’ve got a build similar. I dunno who puts out more damage though between yours and mine. I run tag team as my chest talent so I can get my skills back quicker. Also you can mark multiple targets with tag team literally wiping your cooldown away. Yours is legit Brotha 💯 just giving you another avenue to consider. Stay blessed
@@iDentityUS course. Survival is better than damage. Won't have to waste armor kits in the long run if you know when to engage. That's how I set up my system build
Great build and video as always, love your chill content. I know this is a stupid idea but, have you ever thought on creating a 3r 3b 3y (memento and technician) build just for fun? Trying to create a jack of all trades build but no success
Interesting build is there a reason why you didn't swap out the chest and the holster brandset wise so you could use the door-kickers knock for perfect spark?
ok I just came back after a min And before I left I was the highest level had everything unlocked all the exotics and now I turn the game on and it has me starting off at the national zoo and I cannot get out of that mission until I completed why? I should be able to fish travel to anywhere I wanna go
I'm going to have to try this. In the past I've tried skill builds, and they do work, but I didn't enjoy them because I play shooters to shoot things. Setting things on fire and then shooting them sounds pretty cool.
Well you play shooters to shoot things but this game after a certain difficulty become too hard just to run around with 3 randoms and 4 directives ON while playing heroic difficulty so yeah,you need to step your game up and make hybrids where you can shoot your weapon too and not dying 24/7 with a full red build that you can't even use😂
Off meta? This build is the main build that kills whole teams in the dark zone with the push of one button 😅. If you ask me this is a META status build that every player runs who refuse to use actual weapons.
So, I made a build called “Soldier” with the Bighorn that is 1.6 M Armor with Unbreakable. It’s 100% pulse resistance & 100% Hazpro, That build would destroy this. And builds similar to that, I thought were the meta. This one is only a little over 900k armor, it’s not strong enough to compete against the others I was referring to. It has no pulse resistance so it’s vulnerable to Flatline. And can be countered with Hazpro which will effectively stop the strongest part of the build which is the Fire sticky. When I was talking about meta and how it can compete against it I was mainly referring to it’s PvP counterpart that I did not show. (It was the Footage shown killing those 3 agents) Also referring to the OG “Warrior” from before. I’ve been making a lot of DZ Yahl builds & I felt that many we’re getting tired of them because that brand is hard to attain. But maybe I will upload the PVP version…That one, could be the The Meta. Or it could be another meta alongside what’s already out there. Who knows, There’s infinite evolution when making builds in the world of The Division.
Don't quote me on this but, since the Vile Mask damage output is buffed by a percentage of the concussion grenade damage, wouldn't it help if you used them instead of the EMP grenade?
@@cameltoeinspector6015 Have you tested? Well I did, and my damage numbers went up..... Seem like you just want to be an A hole, no need to be condescending.
You mention you didn't have the right rolls on the chest, what are the right rolls you are looking, also is the chd on the holster intended, did you intend for chc on the backpack, sorry for the long comment just want to make sure I got the pieces right
My Status effect skills.. Banshee pulse (cool down 5 sec) and incinerator turret that lasts 1 minute, my guns, 2 AR with the same talent Perpetuation, that gives me with 2 head shots 100% more status effect and 100% prolongation of the skills, They just bleed to death with a few shots. But you have to wear the right combination. As usual. I don't care about expertise level at all, I'm strong enough already. I play with players who are expertise level 20 and yet my builds are stronger because I don't wear the usual combinations. I don't level up. Because again there is a catch that 99.99% don't know about the expertise level. It's actually useless. If you look at the numbers you understand that you do everything for nothing and they only did this to prolong the game, in the end you have 0.0 improvement whatever level you are, but who knows this??? The You Tubers certainly not 1. including you, otherwise you wouldn't be making this video.
I wonder how long until this guy steals my 6 yellow sniper build too. Proof is in the pudding, he should be using doorkicker with a fenris holster, but doesnt have the pieces.
I already gave a tip about the DZ in another video, maybe you should pay more attention to it and mention it in your video so that everyone can collect the DZ items without getting robbed. I have asked many You Tubers the question, What happens if you die during a mission or in the free world????????????? brought back to life and continued through the mission??? So far not 1 You tuber has got the correct answer, maybe you know??? I know! And believe me this is VERY IMPORTANT!! Here's another tip, if you die and no one can reach you to bring you back to life, go to a safe house and put on a reviverhive and go back in the game, you'll be alive again.
I got a build for you boss... pvp only.... 1.6 armor with 483k pvp damage on the fire sticky still... only a 25 cooldown as well.. with only 3 tiers!

Skills need to be NERFED. In no way, shape or form should a skill build be able to out-damage a dps build. It's a looter/SHOOTER. Skills are lazy and take away from the gun play in pve and pvp. Make the gun play great again developers, PLEASE!
Yeah, no. The only thing that seperates this game from other fps is the skills. And ive never seen skill builds dominate in pvp, ever. EVER!! Game is still a dumpster fire regardless.

@@POTNomad listen carefully bro, I said “Heartbreaker has inadvertently caused a new meta that renders Flatline useless” meaning that the build people use to counter heartbreaker makes flatline useless because they use 100% pulse resistance builds. That doesn’t mean flatline isn’t working, it means flatline is useless against those builds
*Hey wussup everyone! What is your expertise level? And which skill do you think would be the most beneficial to level up in expertise??*
almost Expertise 16, for PvP hands down has to be the Defender Drone
What does the expertise buff on the Defender drone?
@@iDentityUS Brother just like how the damage gets increased for skills. The deflection reduction gets increased with the drone.
Just made it to level 10 in expertise. Been leveling up the defender drone. If you manage to get the 80% damage reduction from tenacity on the EB and use the defender drone you take no damage while tenacity is active. Once you level up the defender drone though, you won't even need the tenacity buff
