Let's Fix Some Mistakes | Gear Set Tier List Followup Video [DeadEye & HighEnds] 

As content creators, instead of calling for MORE nerfs, why don't you guys ever use your platform and your sway to get the developers to buff all the current shit tier sets in the game? Don't you think it's ridiculous that out of all the sets in the game, only 3 made it to your tier 1 list? Yet you call for more nerfs? That is insane. You're seriously using widdz, a guy who can make even nomad look OP, as your reasoning behind calling for a nerf to deadeye? Widdz makes deadeye look easy to run, because he is that good, and more importantly because of his mouse and keyboard aiming precision. Stuff like that isn't possible on console. Deadeye is very clunky to run, even while using the pro red dot sight. You have to spec heavily into firearms to truly hit hard, which means having almost no survivability. It's the type of setup you need to run in a group. If a player rushes you and you're not fast in taking him down, it usually means instant death for you. For this reason and many more, I honestly don't see deadeye ever becoming the meta as you're claiming. Not when people generally like to run and gun. Deadeye is a highly specialized set that only few people run, because using it can put you at a huge disadvantage. I wish you guys would think before calling for nerfs. Everything has already been nerfed to death. And because you're popular and have such a huge following, you will probably get your wish. 🙄

Best way to fix deadeye is to make the bonus active only when you look through a actual scope. Dont let it work with red dot or improved iron sights. Simple

They need to rework ninjabike messenger bagpack also

Dont nerf my DeadEYE BabyRage prolly all comments below 4Head

If you can, do two videos, one for PvP and another for PvE Although, great job man !

Wait? Striker Garbage on console? Ever heard of aim or at least a shotgun. All these alpha plebs don't know what their talking about because all they can do is run in circles hip firing. When you actually have to aim in 1.6 Striker will be top tier.

Love your vids Marco, thanks for all the work you put into breaking this stuff down for us.

Keep the videos coming, Marco, this is awesome stuff. I love information, and your videos are always full of it!

Props Marco for replying to the critique, and qualifying your video. Respect!

I love how unbiased and logical you are. You, by far are the best division RU-vidr

Thank you for doing the homework & being introspective on your position. These videos help me greatly because I don't have the time to farm for all these great sets.

Hey Marco, I got it and appreciated it the first time, but I DID question why the Named pieces wasn't done either. Thanks for covering it and thanks to Widdz

As a returning player, your videos are a godsend! Thanks for your work!

I watched the whole video. I thought it was great Marco!

Ik vind dat je altijd lekker bezig bent. Je doet t geweldig. Ga vooral zo door. Helaas dat je teleurgesteld was over ghost recon. Hoe dan ook hoop ik dat je daar ook leuke vids van maakt. 2 tumbs up van mij in ieder geval😜

understood your tier list. don't know why you caught flak for it. I don't have tons of time to min max sets your lists give me a fantastic idea for we'll rounded sets that so far have seen me through every situation I've encountered. keep up the great work Marco

Keep doing this gear videos as it is. Amazing help Marco. Thanks for them. Not long time ago I tough you just a little arrogant nolifer. Than I watched your videos, and I find out how much wrong I am. Since you RU-vid channel is my first for me. Keep up the great job for us.

Striker isn't garbage on console, just like anything else... right weapons, right mods, its very strong. Love the vids brother... keep at it!

RU-vidrs need to buy a console instead of just playing on PC, maybe like that they can see how we feel playing. And they might notice how easy it is to get all headshots in PC as oppose to console. PC vs Console very different.

Great video! Thanks Marco

Marco great vid man

Way to take a hit like a man Marco! Have fun out there.

Thank you for specifying that the SVD was the issue with Deadeye, not the gear set itself. Deadeye with any other rifle feels solid, but not stupidly overpowered.

So what would be optimal rolls when crafting mods? Say i like firearms. Should i roll health or should i be more concerned about getting skill power?

Still asking about mixed sets... What do you see as good two and three piece gear set mixes? Even with exotics and specific gold prices...

with the change to deadeye (only works with zoomed scopes) in 1.6 release, would u still say its above tier 1? Thanks!

@Marco if i wear my skulls gloves with final measure it breaks the gearset and it stops all the bonuses esp the grenade diffuse. Have you heard about it before or am I the unlucky one?

I don't have the time to grind so I appreciate his you made it the first time

I'm from Germany so I didn't understand what you told us about and I just wanted to ask if there is somebody who can tell me which tear set is good for playing in the DarkZone.

Can't wait to test the updated D3-FNC.

Like your objective outlook! Great Job! I think in the future you should break it up to console and PC and then PVE and PVP tiers for the casual player

wtf I was amazed at the amount of effort you put into the tier video and how much you studied and tested to get your tier lost screw the people that are disagreeing because they weren't the ones testing it

What is a good build for Last Stand if I want to be a healer but not die in two seconds?

what is the best set for PVE and for PVP? where can i find the SVS easy?

Do you need to roll health in the vest in the new meta? i just got a barret with low firearm, ammo, health which i guess will be rolled to all resist and and damage to elites

not to make to much work for you but is it worth looking at tiered 2 piece and tiered 4 piece layout broken into pvp and pve

my favorite youtuber

much better!! thnx for your time!!

Any suggestions on where do i find a rifle with 300k dps, highestt hat i can find/equip is 200k :-(.

I watched the last video and it helped me out a ton. So thanks on that. I feel you should split the tiers up by which is best for PvP only and PvE only! Then make another video and which one is best for consoles

im one those players that has 1 piece of everything in my stash (except all the highends) and still have nfi what to use. but i was very drawn towards predator and striker. so im kinda glad you made the other vid. cheers

Thanks for the additional set notes. I have every single gear set. The rolls are mostly garbage, but I do. So yeah, still mostly using my AB up until 1.6 comes out - whereupon I'll likely switch to Striker (next least awful rolls) if I bother continuing at all.

Marco you should make a video of what/how you think the gear sets should be tweaked.

you have to rember that widdz is an absolute beast at this game yes dead eye is strong but it's strongest with a team around you and if everyone is running it the I think that would make for some rilly tactical playing frome a lot of players of cors you will always get player who can get in and brakes the enemy's lines but that is just that skill base you went on about before the pts came out

😂😂Hunters Faith. 👍🏽👍🏽 I caught that, Marco. Crazy guy. Great video man. Looking forward to the next and yes, Deadeye will be the next PC meta as well as the next meta for the above average console players. I think consoles might gravitate slightly more to the Lonestar/Cassidy as it will play a bit easier for them and, from first hand experience on XB1 during the shotgun meta, it will be brutal. Two-Tap is already a phrase on console

MarcoStyle Great run down on gear sets. For your next gear set video maybe break them down into pve and, pvp. For instance alpha is a tier 1 pvp set, but teir 2 pve (I am by no means saying this is right just an example). I personally like videos like this, it helps me pick gear sets I can focus on since I don't play very often. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Is it worth running a 4 piece set along with another 2 piece.

Have they fixed the problem with Striker stacks dropping when you switch weapons? I feel like that could potentially have a huge impact on the gear sets effectiveness

I played Dead eye since the begining of PTS. It's my favorite gear set. It's a little bit OP. There are severals problem : - SVD stability and accuracy. - Sight Mods allow you Zoom without realy put you eye in the sight... - PC aiming vs Console Aiming. - RPM of some Marksman's rifle is to high. I think the solution is to slighty modify one or two of this issues to make the Dead eye set balanced compare to other good set. Don't forget, that Dead eye set punish people that aren't in cover. That why i love it. But, i understand it's a little bit to powerful, and most of all, this demand too much changes for the gameplay because players, in The Division, rush like if they are invicible in front of you, and without any strategy at all.

And as they say in the Netherlands...go farm striker!! Lol, another great vid and much appreciated for the knowledge

I remember selling 2 svd's today.. should i be kicking blankets?

What is the drop rate of Exotic armor in proficiency cahces???

good job man good video

shown a lot of integrity. a man with some balls. still rate the vids Marco keep up the good work

Just change the dead eye set so that it only works with a scope where you actually zoom in like a minimum of 4x or 6x zoom or something. Easy fix, and that is how the set is meant to be played.

Make it so Red dot sights aren't allowed on snipers? So you have to actually zoom in properly?

Marco, one thing you have to take into account with DeadEYE is the ease of use on console compared to PC. It is significantly harder to use DeadEYE on console. Your almost at a disadvantage on console.

I love ur vids Marco

Can someone tell me when update 1.6 comes to PS4. Thanks

When is patch 1.6 being released?

This was a very good video.

I never knew about that deadeye trick I wanna try ut

thanks for the vid!

Marco, can we see how the Midas works with Hunter's Faith in a group please. I am on console, so I cannot play the PTS, but looking at the set bonuses I think it could be really strong.

And what happen with destructive?? They would be no armor right then it would be usseful

Whats the new Top Tier 1 for Console players? I only just got my Predators Mark build done but 3 piece will still be good with SMGS in 1.6

High end is the future, been using since 1.4, getting better every patch

Good video! I watched the other one yesterday and had no issues with it. Ofc you have to put everything into perspective...but obviously some people didn't understand the tier system you made... But...The DeadEye thing you mention in this video, is it good for PvE or was that OP-ness mostly a PvP issue? Because if it is decent in PvE I can see myself use either that or the Sentry's Call and a DMR. I use the Alfa Bridge on a sniper character atm and since that set is changing it's a perfect time to switch to a different set entirely for my sniping, switch things up a bit! So that's why I ask :) I exclusively play PvE content btw, mostly alone or with a friend or two.

I'm currently using Hunter's Faith, and while I was slightly disappointed it wasn't ranked higher on your list I'm not going to complain or tell you you're wrong. I appreciate these videos, and obviously not just for confirmation that you agree with what I want to use. While the initial video didn't change my mind about Hunter's Faith (it feels impactful and useful to me, but again, if it doesn't for you I'm not going to say you're wrong about a feeling...) it gave me some thoughts on other builds. Keep up the good work

Funniest video ever! People actually got mad and knew Deadeye was a beast only to now have Marco say yeah it needs to be nerfed. Lol!

how can you tell if your build is for PVP or PVE

Perhaps something like a grading system could be an idea Marco. You could give each set a grade for each situation you may use it in (PvE Solo, PvE Group, PvP Solo, PvP Group, Last Stand)

great reflection on your work. I think proper way to categorize your new videos would be something like "Striker PvE console/PC build" Lay out the 'better' uses of the set up front.

Most def try to split the GearSets between PVE vs PVP...and give bonus comments around console vs PC.

I like the pve and pvp split up then specify any outlying differences between pc and consoles.

separating the tier list for pve and pvp is indeed a great way to approach this. along with a pc and console side list aswell. since we all now that controllers have a harder time when it comes to shooting in this game. BUT I think console player also have a mouse and keyboard attachments aswell unless that haven't been making that since the ps2 and maybe ps3 days.

your videos are the best

Why dont u score the sets against each other for each activity (so, for example, striker for pve solo is the best so that scores 16 out of 16, where as banshee scores 1 out of 16 since it's useless in that context, then do the same for squad pve/incursions, pvp, or whatever else u can think of) then add all the scores for each set together giving u an OVERALL score with all factors considered. Then u can cut the first 4 in to "tier 1", the second 4 in to "tier 2" and so on. Would that work? Can anyone find a flaw with this scoring method or is it just plain rubbish? I was just thinking aloud here....

Too much hate, not enough love. Good job with both videos. And way to take responsibility for a mistake (even though it was your opinion). Don't be discouraged by those who are negative. Agree or not, thanks for the content and keep making vids. You now have one more subscriber. PS - You got me on that Tactician's Authority Set and it rocks!

End of the day Marco, any list video is always going to be open to opinion. What people seem to forget is the 'fixed variables' in play, such as your specific playstyle and proficiency which - no matter how hard you try - will always impact your decision making process. Please note I do not intend this to be criticism, merely a fact that is applicable to any RU-vid/stream. I think players expect to view your channel, be given the 'definitive' meta jack-of-all-trades build that they can complete everything successfully with and move on. Choice and variety are your enemy here, which is exactly what the game needs right now to keep it interesting. Personally I welcome many of the changes coming in 1.6 and find this patch somewhat refreshing compared to Massive's typical design missteps.

When do 1.6 come out?

What do you think about changing Deadeye to that the four piece bonus only procs on targets 60 meters or more away? Or maybe change it to only work with Single Bolt? Or change it so it only works when using snipers with a certain sight? So maybe still allow the SVD to be able to use the Red Dot sight, but the 4 piece bonus won't work unless using other sights? See if you can get these suggestions over to massive..or at least one of these.....I believe you are slightly more popular in the Division Community than me... :-P

was the svd gameplay widdz ?

Very good video Marco, people out there need to realise this is not a definitive list that HAS to be obeyed, its your guide based on your research. I watch your guides & then incorporate that into my own opinions based on MY research, others should do the same. While i don't always agree with your opinions, i respect them as you have put time into testing/playing with those gear sets, i may have a different opinion based on my testing etc so ill go with what i know & agree to disagree, without feeling the need to slag you off on your vids or Twitter as sadly, a few seem to do. Keep up the good work fella.

For setting up your tiers, I would suggest starting with 2 categories, PC/Console. Then have subcategories of Solo/Grouped. Under them, have another set of subcategories of PvP/PvE.

noo deadeye is fine leave it alone

You did a tier list based on solo players and that is best in my opinion because if you have a group and they all perform as well as you have intended well you see where I’m going when you put them together then but I understand you on this video and the last video

why does his named weapons and named gear appear red?

marco:deadeye need a nerf me:😥😦😧😨😩😰😟😱😲😵

Imo u should breakdown each gear set and rank them in a pve tier than a separate pvp tier, while bringing up pc vs console play and unique play styles when necessary. Either way keep up the great work Marco

striker's is good, just difficult to master... but trust once you have set up the output of dmg is crazy..

The best way is to separate PvP from PvE, as I commented on your last video. This gives the most prospect. For Console x PC, you can just talk about the particular set performance on both, if it's easier or harder to make it work. Let's be honest, calling Striker trash on Console because it's harder to aim, is just an excuse for people that don't know how to aim properly using a controller. Is it HARDER? Sure. But it's not IMPOSSIBLE either.

Marco, I think how you should do it is to give each build an overall score, say, out of 100. That score would be comprised of subscores that correspond to each category. for example, if a gear set earned a 50/50 for the group play category but received a 10/50 for the solo play category, it's overall score would be 60/100. Obviously you could have more categories, that was just an example

Marco i know this has nothing to do about gear but more of a quality of life. i think that when you scroll over a safehouse in your map that it should list wether there is a gear or weapons vender. im sure this would make alot of agents lives easier including mine

if you want seperate by pve(general co-op/solo), incursion, and pve. i have about 12 active set on me so i change when required

Hey marco I noticed That the RNG on the ps4 is better than the RNG on PC if you played on the ps4 you will Notice that the gears quality is better and the chance to get a godroll item on ps4 is bigger than the chance on pc do you know anything about this?

I swear people need to realise that of division and console division are completely different

how about doing it as which are good for pvp and wich are good for pve, and then have it as which one are best for solo, have it as multiple categories but thats if you are up to do the work it takes to do that

man forget the haiters keep up the good work.

Deadeye works withs bolt action snipers and I even made it work with a first wave m1a. I have been using deadeye only since 1.4 for the most part and personally think that the svd isn't the best for damage but the accuracy makes up for it. Best score in last stand was 73 k with a m44.
