The explosive seeker will auto track the nearest enemy when you throw it, or the enemy you can mark manually, after you place it on the ground with a double tap. You can call it back with a double tap for repositioning. You can find a detailed breakdown of the weapon attachments and their attributes on the forum. Then you would be doing, very roughly, around 100% more turret dmg. It now will automatically target the hostile nearest to the players’ center-of-screen (the same method it uses to pick other turret targets) and will fire at that target when the button is pressed, without a lock-on order needed. Adjusted bounty credit rewards to use scaling values in World Tiers instead of flat values so if a lower level player is playing with a higher-level player, they will receive an amount of credits more appropriate for their level. The Flamethrower can still trivialize specific encounters. Only the fire grenade of the survivalist tree comes close. Recalibration still allows Gear Score to increase slightly past the maximum loot Gear Score. The persons who profit most from these ability’s are sniper builds who love having a better overview over the area. Which means a gun build will most likely profit more from it. Depending on what you equip, you can decrease your Skill's cooldown or increase its bonus damage, etc. Neither is anything I would be excited to get my hands on. The mods can be duration(max60%), damage(max30%), cooldown(max30%), Buff time(max20%), ammunition(max+7), radius(max30%), foam-HP (max60%), healing(max60%). 36.2/1813 = ~0.02% radius per skill power point Well, now that the basics are covered, let’s look into the specific skills. My opinions on the different skills are all about PVE and doing main missions on a full party sized challenging difficulty scaling. New Ambusher NPCs now roam the streets of DC. Skill Mods can be gathered from the field as loot. Which is summed up, your DPS with guns. For blocking of routes, or perma stunning small packed hordes of enemies, the flamethrower is just so much better. The additional mines from mods are only spawning when there are more than 4 enemies in tracking range, which happens not very often. The bottom line is that in TD1, skills were a pillar of your build. More The Division 2 Reading on MP1st: In a recent ‘State of the Game’ livestream, Ubisoft Massive outlined how it’s tweaking The Division 2’s mod systems. This includes lowering the reward of the first crate, but results in similar rewards for the activity as a whole. While it is a freaking powerful ability, it is really a very situational skill. 4 charges, otherwise it’s the same values as with the other hives. This results in most skill power values on gear being lower, but in accordance with the lowered requirements. Whether the Assault turret can contribute to the DPS of the team, or not, is completely dependent on its positioning. While this is the most DMGing AOE skill when taking usability into consideration, with the quickest skill application, and therefor the only skill which can really take advantage of the 10 seconds cooldown. And it’s working with the duration20% talent, easily bringing you to 8 seconds. MG5 damage increased by 12% and fixed reversed falloff, causing the weapon to do more damage over a longer range. Which we all know is the key to really hit some targets with that broken system, on a skill like that. As long as it lives it will be topping you off constantly, making it, even if it is not as powerful, clearly more relaxed to use than the healing chem launcher. Press J to jump to the feed. But well, when you bring these abilities to a reasonable level, you are going to have something like 400k DPS, therefor you are, not a sniper DMG build anymore. One promised aspect of this update was that Massive would be fixing two things that irked Division 2 players. This skill hast to be manually fired, comes with 5 shots ammo and does slightly above 100k dmg per shot. Division 2 mods work completely differently to those in the first instalment. Fixed an issue where the Defender Drone could have unlimited uptime. And none of those things are needed in a group - at least not to the point where it's worth losing out on DPS. Reduced the amount of Critical Damage and Headshot Damage that can roll on Gear, including the amount on existing Gear. All in all, it’s a stronger healing capable, but much shorter lasting skill then the healing drone, and you have to stay in the puddle. it has to be placed using the beloved ground marker. The Division 2: Skill Tier system explained Skill Tier items will also roll with a +1 attribute and each skill has six tiers in total. Thank you for taking the time to write it up. Updated Collectibles set XP reward to scale with player level. But let’s be honest here, you don’t need this. You get 900% more dmg with 89% CDR, in comparison to the 11% dmg increase for slotting a 20% DMG-mod on an explosion build from the example before. Let’s take a couple radius mods for the pulse emitter as an example. Stun locking 1 enemy - > Firestarter wins. Thank you for reading up on the remaining skills and mods in The Division 2! The healing puddle will heal for around 20k per second if staying in it. If you can manage to have it ready in moments when there’s a big pack of enemies arriving, or as an initiator tool, you will have almost the same CC-power as an CDR build could provide, especially when multiple people are having it slotted in their loadout. And then stick to that design and build your game around it, especially, build your mission design around it. Its long duration makes it even viable for gun builds, but they should disable it before it runs out to safe some cooldown time. The more often you can spam your Cluster seeker, the more dmg you will do with that skill. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the thedivision community. Because the mine takes so long to reach its destination it will often miss because targets are somewhere else meanwhile. It is the same relationship, like it is with weapons, shooting speed-buffs, and reload times. This works as well during firefights, if a box is close to your position, making full ammo builds very useful. And even if you can manage to learn how to handle that thing, so u can hit with all shots without wasting much time aiming, even then, the dmg would be not up to DPS standard of red-stat builds. You will not only often fail your aiming because it takes too long to target some enemies, cause of that snapping, no you just spend seconds over seconds, actively not participating and shooting, which after all, reduces your value much more then you might notice. It has 25 charges at base and covers an 8-diameter field, where every companion will be healed once every 3 seconds for 25k armor, spending one charge. And there’s no synergy to the survivalist tree, like the Firestarter has to offer. Added a “Friends & Clan” option for Call for Backup that only shows calls from friends and clan members. Staff in the Base of Operation will now shout at the player less frequently than before. Some elite mobs will ignore the fact that they have been blinded and start firing at you. On one side we have the seeker cluster which will pretty much always hit 3+ enemies nonstop as long they are somewhere present in the room, transforming every situation you are in, in an AOE situation, where your build should be superior. That was one thing I was incredibly excited about when the game came out, too, as I personally love support style builds either through buffs, CC or healing. 9 upon deactivation before it runs out. Any owned Superior items will be lowered to Gear Score 490. Locking true skill scaling behind loot drops hampers things further. Reduced the difficulty of the first wave of enemies encountered in the last beat of the mission by lowering the amount of Elite and Veteran enemies. The radius can be increased by quite a bit, and the number of the bombs as well, allowing for either overlapping explosions hitting targets multiple times, or extending the line of the bombing pattern. As well as 46,1% radius for 2308 skill power. The shield/healing launcher combo profits from high skill power since you can increase the shield HP, giving you more time to react and setup a couple of healing patches. Right now, I feel like, if you would disable the entire skill system, and take away all stats from the items, so there’s just a generic power-level on every item. Removed a tiny increase on materials required for crafting weapon mods after upgrading the crafting bench quality. Or you take 2 healing mods with 3 charges and 110k armor per second. Skill mods are just more things to delete so I can hold more armor mods. When it works, it works really well for the most part. If there’s no such target in sight, you can’t do anything with this skill. Massive. Your next 25% will reduce your cooldown time to 22.5 seconds. This skill does not do tactical DMG of any sort, it’s not going to take down high priority targets or anything like that. Browse By Tag. Not your fault. On the downside It has a less powerful status effect, well it has none, but the enemies AI reacts to it in a way that they will flee out of cover, making them vulnerable to shooting, which is some sort of CC, therefore, it has no synergy with the survival-specialization. Simply put, Skill Power enables you to start equipping and utilizing various Skill Mods in The Division 2. The dmg every 3 seconds is comparable to the sniper turret but has 8 charges at base. I wish you all the best and awesome loot. Even tanking, as mentioned in the latest stream, is done by killing enemies faster. When people talk about balance in games between classes abilities roles or characters, they are mostly referring to one of three things. Developer Massive Entertainment has outlined a number of changes coming to The Division 2 in the game's next update. You can let us know what you think of the update in the comments, and check out the full patch notes below. Modding the mods. In both games, the skill focuses on protecting the agent from harm while still allowing them to fire back at hostiles. Stack a little bit of Skill power, and slot low LVL mods for 2- 3 more ammunition and you are good to go. The Turret Skill is at the moment arguably the strongest skill in The Division 2 out of all the other skills we mention in this Skill Tier List. This provides a relatively safe way to dish out consistently long-range damage for CDR builds. Again, a manually firing turret with 4 shots ammo. But in a challenging Main mission with full party sized difficulty scaling, no heal will safe you when out in the open. All in all, the shields in general PVE have their niche uses, but u can’t really tank with them, its more an defensive option. It will take away, on a specialized build, like 20% of a red bar enemy’s HP (challenging diff, 4-man party). The bonuses from gear stats, Surge-talent and bonuses from skill mods enhancing CDR, all stack additively. The highest mods I have in general are between 2800 and 2900, so I assume 3000 will be the possible highest requirement. Skill Mods are not static, unlike weapon attachments in Division 2. It needs to be built in the same way the sniper turret hast to be build, to gain any reliable use out of it. Changed the amount of skill power on gear to not increase exponentially with level, but instead more linearly. Thank you for this post :) Thoughtful and helpful. Black Tusk presence has been increased in invaded Open World zones. As well as 46,1% radius for 2308 skill power. Your OP and your comments comprehensively cover the poor state of skills in the game currently. Find comms, SHD tech, Hunters, Keychains, weapons & more! Changed Skill Unlock rewards to be non-invaded only so that players who co-op with a higher-level friend to play invaded before playing on story won’t receive the rewards. I think this writeup is one of the best in terms of constructive critism. The changes to weapons mods and skills have been roundly criticised over on the The Division 2 subreddit, and players are now calling for a PTS to be implemented, as well as drawing unfavourable comparisons to the first game. There are eight core skill groups in The Division 2, and each features its own set of skill mods that slightly change the effects of the base skill. A Sniper build should be superior in moments with tons of range, and people stretching their head out only for milliseconds, where you can apply all that headshot dmg all at one. And every time you find one, its most likely is above or under your pooled red stat value, so you can’t equip it, or you are losing the difference in power. Of course, it doesn’t help that the skills cover only two extremes. The Chem Launcher is a new skill in The Division 2. You can cancel its highspeed attack maneuver by double tapping, then you can restart to position the ground marker. Set all exotic upgrade blueprints to award you the upgraded weapon on the max gear score of the current tier. Its cooldown caps out sooner than the cluster mine, but both can be brought down to 10 seconds. Some obstacles are blocking the raytracing, others can be passed (some trucks for example let you directly place the marker behind them). For non-skill builds the usability depends on your knowledge of the mission’s encounters. The game, in general, is too obsessed with damage. The second perspective when balancing these things, is when we are still sticking to a role from looking at it from a distance. The fixed firing arc in addition to its limited range and its extremely short lifespan when triggered on, making it somewhat useless if enemies are widespread and at long range encounters. There are differences for sure, both have ups and downs. Analog in division 2, a thing like this would be if we look at an assault turret/stinger drone build vs a classic run and gun build. And therefor a balancing between these 2 would be about, a couple of percent, more or less, depending on the gameplay situation. For more information, go here. Since you can switch skills during a battle, if you realize, there no use for this in an encounter, just take in the assault turret instead. I really enjoyed reading this.. all of this. Fixed an issue which caused the Drone Helicopter to not use the correct loot table. Recently I've even had a bug on the bomb variant where it sometimes doesn't attach a bomb on the first enemy and then zips off to the others. It’s more like, just making a decision! A double tap will set all gas patches on fire. Most notably radius and ammo/charges values. Fans haven’t exactly been happy with the skill mod system in The Division 2, as the requirements to have mods working in your gear is kind of ludicrous. 100% agree with you with the illusion of being able to build differently. Fixed several instances of Audio logs not playing automatically when picked up. The fact that so many skill mods cost a ridiculous amount of skill … While it can help with the damage a little bit, especially in moments when you are going to be flanked, or have to retreat and seek cover, it is not going to take out elites on its own in a reasonable timespan, not even when fully specced into skill power and modded for damage and duration. If you do want to play a skill DMG build based on instant activation abilities, always max out your CDR to hit the 90%, or the 10 seconds cap (whichever comes first), before investing just a single point into skill power (the Chem launcher is another story, I will cover that topic later). This is simply the best crowd control skill in the game, vs big clusters of enemies in close quarters. I would think in a game like this, the base design would be, make it useful to the non-skill build, and make it the primary tool of the skill build. Not being able to revive a person 2 times in a row, makes it of situational use. This little helper is like a Pokeball which chases you and pukes on you from time to time(Pukeball?). You just have to make sure you put your shield away before it gets destroyed to prevent the long cooldown. Ubisoft has recently acknowledged a major Division 2 story leak thanks to some ... targets to take down in exchange for skill mods. Its explosion hits a 6-diameter field and seems to be not avoidable from the enemies, contrary to the cluster which can be dodged. ​Increased the time which the Black Tusks needs to complete the download in the Server Room from 200 seconds to 250 seconds. Mods are all useless on this one, aside from ammo count. Before i will go into each specific skill, a few words about the ground marker-system which used in division2, because this has a big impact on some of your abilities. Any explosion near you will destroy it in an instant, and sometimes its just not working, it needs a couple of seconds then until it starts blocking off projectiles. Your first 50% CDR will reduce the cooldown to 45 seconds, increasing your seeker spam speed by 100% (2 times as many casts as before). Fixed an issue where Revive hive would not self-deploy if the agent was busy performing a different action such as using different skill when it triggered. Even on a 10 seconds CD explosion DMG build, in comparison to just shooting. If the shield should be destroyed, you have to deal with quite a lengthy cooldown. This type of discussion you will find very often on the different class forums for MMOS. The range is not unlimited after the last patch, so if you want to capitalize on open long-range terrain, with limited number of obstacles, the chances are very good most targets are just out of range. Added Apparel cache key fragments to the PvP reward caches. I do hope they eventually do a real balancing pass on them to bring the others up to the level of (healing) chem launcher. 80% of it, coming from your guns. Tweaked the ranges of bonuses to be within acceptable bounds where they had extreme values before due to scaling errors. The mods can be detonation duration(max60%), radius(max60%), health(max60%), DMG (max30%), cooldown(max40%), armor repair (max 30%) or additional bombs(max4-5). The player can aim and shoot with normal weapon controls, as well as run with the skill and blindfire it. It should now be much more reliable to shoot as soon as it’s shouldered and the transition to scoped view is over. Well this would require more balancing cause of the possibility to stack specialized stats, which have more value but would result in even more build variety. the problem seems to be them balancing the skill mods around the healing they provide at the detriment to the offensive skills. Added a “Do Not Disturb” group privacy option that blocks all incoming invites. Gather From Field As Loot. An example for this would be a shotgun build, vs a sniper build, vs an AOE-DMG seeker/firefly build. Apparel Keys will be coming for those players later next week. Similar to a grenade launcher, the Chem Launcher shoots out a canister that disperses a cloud on impact. 2 Veterans where able to bring my shield down in like 4 seconds, with their SMGs. Stat bonuses stack additively with other skill mods of the same type, and with stats from gear. The effects on the game are varying, sometimes an enemy is stunned, or blinded, or burned, or an armor part will take heavy damage. The mods can be detonation precision(max30%), health(max45%), DMG (max20%), holster regeneration(max60%) or active regeneration (max20%). On a CDR build you can send it to your party members under heavy fire or helping them push. The explosive seeker mine works well with an explosion/CDR build. Defense level 4 now awards 5 items instead of 3. Seems you have done your research properly for this topic.

A group of enemies running into it will deplete all 8 charges almost in an instant. You can buff your team with stats they do not need, or mark enemies so instead they are having a small triangle over their head showing their position, they got a bigger icon, still showing their position. This build sadly has not much to offer then survivability, which does not help your team very much. The Defender is one of the few highlights this game has to offer. In PVE, this one is the least useful out of all the Chem launcher variations. At base, they are dishing out around 100k dmg per explosion.
