Then that's fine. This is also why I'll only play with friends and not randoms, and if I'm hampering their experience then I'll play solo.

It's because people are speed clearing and healers don't fit into speed clear meta. We might try challenge mode tomorrow or over the weekend. We have no interest in speed clearing so whoever is game can hit us up. However is you are going healer you should probably at least have 70-80k DPS and 60k health because the faster the enemies go down the less damage we will be taking.
I want to do one more DZ sweep tonight to try and up my stats a bit more before going in. We are reasonably comfortably clearing level 32 enemies with 100k DPS, 70k HP.
are you guys gearing up mainly via the DZ? Trying to figure out my plan for tonight
Think it's mostly down to Phoenix Credit farming.
15 for a daily hard mission + 3 for named enemy
20 for Challenging mission daily + 3 for named enemy
Also, go into Dark Zone and go on boss runs, getting 3 Phoenix Creds per boss. Use said credits for armour and weapons. At least I think that's what most are doing.
Cool thanks, guess i'll run the hard mode dailies tonight. Was kind of avoiding them.
Still haven not claimed the phoenix credits form the ubi unlock.
I am really not happy with the direction its all going. I like being support in games, mostly because I suck at aiming and twitch gaming and instead pride myself on situational awareness. The current meta is all out DPS or hide away keeping perma buffs up.
If you guys will take me so I can play the way I like, support/CC then I will certainly join. Otherwise I am not sure where to go with this game.
Oh well
I would have liked to go tank but there is not point. Some sort of taunt or agro ability would have been nice.
I prefer the idea of playing a role, and not just focus DPS, DPS, DPS... it also changes up the game play and makes it a little more technical, tactical, challenging and require more communication. I think this is more the way the developers intended the game to be played.
Actually as it currently stands sniper is always used as a secondary, just without big scopes because they don't actually provide any real benefit. Shotguns while great during leveling become absolutely useless for the high end content, so right now a typical loadout is SMG/Sniper or Assault Rifle/Sniper.
This is the unfortunate consequence of the way the current high end content is designed. Hopefully the raids will bring a need for more varied roles.
If the meta gets too bad there is always lower level dark zones that we can just live in. There should not be a strong meta at lower levels and you don't level up in the DZ. Unfortunately there is only so much to do in the DZ.
Managed to get my skill power to 45k, health to 60k, DPS to 60k. I am now a buff/heal bot ;-)
I tried running a high skill power build but found i had to compromise to much. Having massive burst damage with sticky bombs etc was awesome but after the smoked cleared and the enemy boss was still standing i decided to focus a bit more on DPS. Playing a build other than pure DPS is fun and i would like to get back to that some day but for now, i like killing things with my Vector really quickly :D
Had fun in the DZ last night. Ran into some friendly people who healed and rezzed me when i pulled more than i can handle. Also managed to end a rogue who was harassing the friendly locals.

Can even share routes...
Did a total of 5 challenge mode runs in the last 2 days with randoms. Being a buffbot is not as easy as it sounds. It was actually quite challenging. Modified my stats a little, need more optimisation
I might be up for challenge runs tonight. I feel like 100k DPS and 70k HP should be sufficient to give it a go.
Anyone getting the season pass? Been thinking about getting it but not sure if its worth it at this time. Think we will only get the first expac around May.
I just bought the game . . . renewed my PS+ sub . . . got home, popped in disc . . . 3GB+ update . . . cool, no problem.
After 10 minutes 0% downloaded. Check my cap . . . 489mb available! FML :mad:
A whole week to go until 1 April
