Devastator Vs. Trickster Vs. Techie For Solo Play?

[Lost]

Enjoying my trickster, but struggling somewhat on higher world tiers due to how squishy I am.

Apparently the devastator is a lot stronger for solo play, although I recall a few people talking about technomancers being solid too.

Thoughts?

[doordash me some dopamine]

For those playing Techno, can you tell me how you play? I'm running like a tank minigun build with turrets for support fire and barrage for cc. For me it's a ton of fun but I don't see other's mentioning this style with Techno.

Trickster here lv 22 world 11.
Still op still 1 shooting everything but bosses.

Any tips on how to do that? I'm spending 1-2 full assault rifle clips on most enemies as level 8. My starter attack skill can one-shot low health enemies, but the lengthy cooldown makes it unreliable as a primary method. All my gear is 6+ and most of it blue.

best pump action shotgun standard version you can find. Top skill tree till you get +50mag size, dont take armour piercing nodes. twisted rounds are based on resistance not armour.
mods on armour should be 2 mags for twisted rounds and mod for 30% resistance piercing.

Really thats it.

for survival im using slow trap and borrowed time. i got 2 mods for borrowed time +firepower and + armour and resistance.

my armour from items is 7,8k, borrowed time grants extra 14k.

If that's what you're after then lose the assault rifle. You want high damage per hit, not low damage many bullets.

None of them... Just internet DC.

Great thing about higher world tier is it artificially boosts the max level of gear you can use. So matching weapons to your level is exactly what not to do. ;)

wut. no it doesn't.

the entire point of higher WT is that you CAN boost the items, so you're supposed to boost the items via crafting.

set it to a low WT and see what happens with high level gear

Yes. It does. Each WT unlocked from WT4 onwards gives you a constant upgrade to the level of gear you can wear above your own.

That's why my level 14 that has unlocked up to WT7 is running around wearing level 18 gear, and not even touched crafting.

If you want to have a tier list for single player

SS - Tech
S - Trick
A - Dev
B - Pyro

On Tech and Trick you want to go top tree and get mods which refill your ammo ASAP.

what's wrong with pyro?

[ffrotty]

you can solo play any 4 of the classes, they're all overpowered in the end and can solo the highest difficulties. I've been a run around out of cover tech with massive regen and basically unkillable, as well as a devastator at range, etc. there are 3 subclasses for each class and those are also based on playstyle and preference.

for tech the blight lane gives a group the highest DPS possible with stacking damage buffs and weakness.

the entire mode of this game is efficiency in a group, not "viability." at the extreme end you'd be in a full, coordinated group with 100% synergy.

In random groups you're just... random.

and of course gear matters, there's a difference between having something that spreads effects or gains damage based on what effects are up, and not.

If you're having trouble keeping up with difficulty, refresh your gear with higher level stuff or upgrade it.

Titanium's needed to get purple and legendary weapons up to speed... but blue ones it's only Iron.

For Technomancer a cheap way to have a super-competitive weapon that'll keep up with you is to get Brain Eater from something (ammo not consumed on crit / headshot), stick it on a blue sniper rifle preferably with +Critical Damage or +Long Range... periodically upgrade it to max level using your massive stacks of Iron.

But similar principle applies for most everything else I'd imagine.

Devastator all day

tech easy, constant self healing for face tanking and easy build for dummy damage single target and aoe

Trickster here, WT7, level 22. For reference i am FULL Firepower stack, literally 0 HP or AP bonuses. All points spent into Assasin tree. I prefer Pump shotty + AR/SMG for general play. I was also having issues with how easily things kill me but once I rotated a couple of things around everything is cake. For starters DONT RELY ON SKILL MODS. While they provide you with really nice bonuses they fall off greatly at later levels. Personally I use 2 skill mods which are bonus firepower and extra mag for Twisted Rounds. Outside of that I use stacking on kill mods such as Bloodlust and a bunch of others that stack defense. I also use borrowed time mod for extra firepower while my blink is active. Hope this helps out for those struggling with Trickster

Deva has been my goto and will stay the most Op of the 4 I've played, Literally takes 10+ enenmies a good minute to even get my HP down. Casually walk up to An Elite and 2 Shot it with a shotgun. Back to Full HP

[Xuse]

Tier 7, Deva... Maybe my weapon drops are rubbish or something but it's taking like 3 mags to kill anything... Rather annoying I don't 'Feel Powerful' like I should...

My combo is teleport to the back of where all the enemies are, kite them into a big group and pop my slow bubble, then either spin to win skill or use the first unlocked skill to wipe everything out.

The teleport skil + shotgun also allows me to finish up anything else left
