Division 2: Seeker/Mortar Boom Builds - Top Tier 

Awesome video as always Dod! I appreciate the tidbits of information at the beginning. Always fun to learn something new

Nice breakdown, as always. Been running this for a while now - China Light mask, 3 piece Empress (inc. Caesars Guard), Contractors (non-unicorn), and a Wyvern backpack w/Shock & Awe. I've found it works well in Solo and Groups. Will have to start looking for those Grupo pieces to give it a go 🙂

There is nothing like a good explosion.

Great video as always

solo runs ill use the unicorn build ... in a team setting .. i use hardwire mortar/seeker combo based on team if we have a FI healer .. with all the damage boost on top of OC we get from the healer hardwire is just the better option if you wanna spam and do good damage overall

Rigger should be baby’s first mortar build, endless uptime and can put in all dmg as long as you have the backpack

Your suggestions are useful!

its a great build and it is definately a welcome addition in a legendary group. but to fix your seeker mine issue, make sure you have the turret set up, and you arent discovered yet, throw the seeker mine and then IMMEDIATELY launch the artillery shell into the crowd, that should give the seeker mines a very high chance of hitting. it works great for me.

I forgot about shock and awe entirely, I've been using the unicorn special with perfect combined arms (my grupos only have skill damage so far) Edit: I also prefer the explosive sticky over seekers since enemies don't really dodge that one

Luckily I decided to keep my yellow Grupo pieces from 2 years ago, so all I have to farm now it the yellow Sacrifice

Mine is Vile mask Named China backpack, repair mods Wyvene chest with kenetic momentum, repair skill mods Yellow contractor gloves, 2 yellow grupo Capacitor or any shotgun with DtA and Dtooc and in sync, dtooc could proc the Vile

does the new Electrique brand set do anything for us here? I assume not, as Skill Damage > Status Effects for mortar, right?

That is absolutely, CATEGORICALLY, the worst "'MERICA!" I have ever heard hahahaha Hilarious and informative, my fav Dod videos Quick question: do you foresee the possibility of explosive combining with St. Elmo's status to keep them in place?

Something I didn't test: Would you know if a proc from Caesar's Guard would override Cool Skills directive?

What about a Rigger build for the mortar turret, with backpack just cancel at one round and redeploy ?

Yeah, but they're Scottish, if you grew up in Scotland, you'd be an unsober killing machine to. Seekers do a lot of damage cept chungas can stomp on them like turrets and they get lost outside of shotgun range.

Personally I don't use shock and awe. Tech support gives you slightly more dmaage. Sure, you need to get a kill to proc it but that's not exactly hard with a mortar build. I also don't use contractors. I use 3 piece empress instead for the extra status effect and skill haste. I might try swapping out one piece of empress for contractor's though and seeing if it makes much of a difference. I'm not sure it will tbh because I already use the capacitor. Everything is rolled for skill damage and status effect. I can one-shot elites on heroic, if the mortar doesn't kill them, the bleed will finish them off. I've not found skill haste to be that useful because the cooldown on the mortar turret is extremely low to begin with. I'm talking the difference being about 11 seconds with full status and skill haste mods, to 8 seconds with all skill haste rolls. Not worth bothering with IMO. I've seen my mortar hit for 10 million before. Thay was in a legendary though and I'm pretty sure I was being buffed by a healer. Usually it hits for something between 8 and 9 million.

Have you considered TAG team on the chest for all high end build (except the last one). I find it works better than Perfectly Skilled on the chest.

My vile mortar build : Vile mask 1 pc Golan SD Status 2pc Groupo SD Status 1pc China BP SD Status Creeping Death Chest is Perfect Glass Cannon SD Status Pandemonium and everyone dies pretty much instantly Forgot skills :: explosive seeker and mortar Also I switch to the emp sticky whence dogs / any Black Tusk are involved Jammer pulse as well and it still works well

Theres one things that Stresses me since Release… does explosive damage Bonusses effect handgranades? And does skill dmg calculate different than explosive damage on Skills?

Here I thought boom builds were just for fun. Could you give a ballpark estimate of the damage difference between the unicorn pgc buid and the one with the nonperfect chest?

I threw together 3 piece empress (mask, chest GC, one other), china named BP, 2 piece all yellow grupo. Hits pretty well for a throw together. I’ll look to see what gloves I use and see what contractors I’ve got. Pretty sure I’ve got a yellow sacrifice on character (stash) number 2.

How are you getting that circle with the grid ? Is that in the game settings? Mine just has the red circle but no grid pattern

😎👍🔥

Is it really worth using Sacrifice and contractors in place of 3 piece Empress with GC? Effectively giving 20% skill dmg due to the skill efficiency, along with some status effects and more haste thrown in. 1 wyvern is 10% skill dmg 2 Hana u is 10% skill dmg With Sacrifice you literally are sacrificing a brand bonus for a bit more amp, same with contractors. Is the extra 5% amp on PGC and the 8% dta better than the 10% efficiency you’d get with 3 piece empress? I’ve not checked my numbers as working nights but I’m genuinely ready to be thoroughly and brutally informed. If 2 fingers aren’t enough, use 3 but I just ask if you’d mind taking your rings off first. Cheers Dod❤

Is is sad that i have 2 yellow sacrifices? One with status and skill damage, and one with skill haste and skill damage. I've also found these for a friend, so 4 yellow sacrifices

Finally found the sacrifice I need with skill damage and skill haste. Now for the last piece I need(contractors gloves with skill damage) and I can finally do some solid damage. I had a feeling the sacrifice would make a massive difference but good to know for certain it was worth farming for

I think I’m the reason for this 😂

WOOHOO first one to see this like it and comment

Terrible build
