my suggestion for making this build even better: try using the Sweet Dreams shotgun as your holstered weapon (when rolling, reload 25% of your magazine). this would allow you to stay at the bottom half of your magazine indefinitely instead of having to reload to full which would allow you to maximize the optimist buff.
@@SleepY0tv Pretty cookie cutter build.

Great build guide! Thank for showing it off. One thing I noticed though in your game-play, due to your play-style, you would have benefited WAY more from patience than entrenched. I didn't do the math, but a few times I thought to myself, you have been in cover for 10 seconds and have not been shot... with patience you would be at full life. Either way, strong build... I have a rifle build that is similar, but I like yours better :) I personally run a fill'er up double m60 build... jack of all trades... great burst, great sustain, short and long range, etc.
At 1:05 you said the only rifle which has more base damage was the 1816. However the classic M1a has about 20k higher base damage than mk17 and its semi auto also. Just a smaller mag size. Regardless. I subscribe :)
I run with a classic m1a and chatterbox, it hits like a truck compared to the mk17 even pre nerf. I run with a crit build with boomerang and allegro to conserve ammo and make up for the small 16 round mag. 55% cc, 61% chd, 71% dte, 65.7k sheet dmg per bullet, boomerang gives me an average of 4-6 rounds back per mag for an effective 20-22 round mag. Easy 360k headshot crits on elites with unstoppable force and boomerang up. A high crit build allows me to at least maintain passable body shot damage cos frankly I can't hit headshots anywhere like you do in the video. It does well for most of the challenge/heroic stuff I do but I do occasionally run into trouble if I let a couple of mobs get too close to me, but chatterbox takes care of that just fine.
@@deevo2703 If you are face trading maybe, but often times you are waiting for the enemies to poke their head out and/or dodging the sniper doggo bullet, which is excellent time to regen with patience. Patience is more consistent and consistency is good.
It's a generalist build, that's the strength and the weakness. You have decent damage, you have strong heals, but a 3/7/7 build could outdps this with more strict rolls required and more effort to keep the damage up. The safeguard+unstoppable+patience/entrench build is a solid low risk low effort pve built though, and it's what i prefer to run too.
Where do you get those insane Damage to Elite rolls, Sleepy? Are they still dropping? Must have been even higher because you transfered that stat, right?!? Highest I got was 36% on a 450 mask which would be capped to 27% if I choose to recalibrate. This is the reason I am still running this thing...
@@SleepY0tv I have overload on gloves and knees and Gila mask so I get both armor bumps from gear plus hardened. I think it's the build I have equipped right now. You can inspect me through clan if you wanna see.
Bro... that build... I have 30k more armour and 20k more life. My crit chance is 38% and more crit dmg as u. U just have 48% more dmg to elites... Just farm before u show us ur build!
SleepYo I know you post only what you’ve played for atleast 10hrs. Based on your experience with the build so far, have you tried dropping the +10 round mag, boosting your dmg at a faster rate using the optimist talent, and testing how that works regarding the ttk?
Solid HD 30 mag 3 bullets=3% 27 bullets=27% more dmg 20 mag 2 bullets=3% 18 bullets=27% Its the same dmg boost But if you play with +7% headshot instead of +10 bullet, the damage will be balance between these 2
na tbh i havent xD but having 30 bullets also means that the 5 last bullets will do more dmg than the last 5 bullets would do without the mag :) i just dont wanna reload that often but i think you can also play the headshot mag, that gives you 7% hs dmg
Niceuu. I have same build but with sniper . no fenris , i have 2 overlord , 2 air, 2 d & h that have nice attributes, no need for armor or resilience if you play your angle right. you hardly get touched as we see from your gameplay. you can do more deeps imo. 8 Riflers in a raid = GG
WT5 drops are so underwhelimg sadly...my backpack is full of shitty items, but i dont know which to deconstruct, cos they have at least 1 good stat :D fml
Well, gear hunting is actually more complicated than previous game, because there are so many variables with different mods, stat requirements and last, but not least the retarded average max stat system you can read about here: www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/b56got/every_piece_of_gear_has_an_effective_stat/ To get good damage you have to get gear that drops with low armor and low other stats to get a high damage stat. I kind of hate it. It makes doing builds too convoluted and not in a fun way like Path of Exile for example. Not that there actually exist any real build diversity in this game anyway.
Nice build man! Have you considered PATIENCE instead of ENTRENCH? I think that static regen is better for very hard content as you don't have to do anything to benefit. Also, does CHATTERBOX really impact your gameplay? Don't you run out of ammo?
Entrenched would be good if it worked out of cover. It just doesnt heal as constant as entrenched. Specially if you get rushed one chem heal and patience with safeguard your not dieing. Plus your already running 7 blue for unbreakable might aswell go patience. I no longer run safeguard it's still good for pvp since 20 seconds is about time it takes to fight a few players.

Skill power feels really worthless until massive reworks it. Even with the recent adjustments it's not worth the trade off. You lose so much offensive power stacking up skill power.
