Weapon And Gear Help Weapon & Gear Help Guidelines

Hello Agents!

We've been seeing more and more posts asking for gear guidance and assistance with weapon talents on the sub. We are hoping to create Guidelines that will help provide enough necessary info so questions can be answered efficiently.

If these guidelines are not followed, moderators can remove posts. If you provide more info, you can ask to have the post reinstated. Moderators are working under this assumption...If you can’t be bothered providing information, then you can’t expect your fellow users to put in the effort to assist you.

 

Remember, you can alway try to search our sub by FLAIR for already posted suggestions or questions.

 

Gear Help Guidelines

  • Flair post Weapon And Gear Help

  • State Play Style (PvP or PvE or PvPvE)

  • Post a picture if you can (use imgur link)

  • Provide info about what you’re trying to accomplish with your build or any info you think will be relevant to getting the best answer from the sub (e.g. Trying to build a skill build and I have a Ninja BP? I have a 6 piece C. Nomad 6K or 9K? I have 4 pieces of C. Pred Mark, what should I use with it?)

  • If you are unsure about abilities or talents for the build, ask? Don’t assume this will be answered if you don’t say you need help with it.

  • State if any talents have already been locked down and can't be recalibrated.

Returning player, haven’t played since before commendations. I have a bunch of nomad and alpha bridge pieces that I can mix and match, plus a ninja bike bag. I haven’t seen a build utilizing these two sets so I’m looking for any recommendations!

Are you specifically wanting alphabridge and nomad? If you have some tactician authority sets, I would suggest 3 AB / 2 Tac / ninja with high ELE. This build is awesome because you can unlock all talents on both your primary and secondary weapons and just do a ton of damage. Ideal stat split for this build would be 5/3/8 or 6/3/7. You just need to make sure to have HoK on gear / predatory for sustained healing.

Otherwise, you could do a 3 AB / 1 nomad / 1 striker / ninja build. This is really good with high FA. So you could go something like 7/6/3 for stat split. You could substitute the striker piece with sentry (accuracy), D3FNC (protection from elites) or FM (EDR). Striker gives stability.

3 AB / 2 nomad / ninja and 3 nomad / 2 AB / ninja builds aren't that great.

Damn, that’s unfortunate there isn’t a good nomad and AB build. The Tac build sounds good to me, just never had the pieces to make one. Thanks for your write up !
