More level 40 secondary gear choices

selphea

Since On Alert 2 years ago, Primary Gear has received a couple of new choices, namely Legion and Justice gear.

However, our secondary gear choices have stayed the same for the entire time. Vigilante has sat at the top in terms of stat totals, with drop gear and the 11k sets like Armadillo and Samurai relatively far behind, relegated to specialized builds.

I think it's time we get more choice in secondary gear. Vigilante has been sitting comfortably at the top for too long, and it's a bad set of gear for the top end due to its one-dimensional nature. It only buffs primary superstat, which means characters that don't need a +132 bonus to that are left behind.

The game should have more secondary gear choice at the top end to promote diversity. I'm not saying knock Vigilante off from the top spot, but share it with new choices that will make players think twice about what will work best for them.

A new set can buff secondary stats, or have a split, or selectable stats. Or even a set bonus like the 11k sets, except with the proper stats for their slot I.e. cooldown redux and cost discount on the utility piece.

The method honestly doesn't matter. It can be lair drops, rampage tokens, Z-store tune up kits for the 11k pieces, mk2 11ks, silver champ... Anything at this point would give something new to do.

Essentially, add new, competitive top-end secondary gear choices so that players feel less pigeonholed into one top end set.

I would like to see set secondaries, but the question would be how they would be statted and how they would be obtained? It will be an interesting thing to see, three set bonus then a six set bonus?

I think before we get into adding secondary set items we need content that actually produces a challenge that makes these set bonuses actually challenged, personally.

These challenges kind of exist in a way - they would really help ATs for example.

Although my point is to make statting fairer so that a non-challenge with Vigi is as much of a non-challenge with a maxed out character using an alternative statting approach.

I'd be up for this- if only to match the amount of options in primary gear at the high-end that was opened up by Justice.

I would like to see slotted secondaries. If I put rank 7 mods in for my secondary super stats and rely on the Vigilante Gear for my primary stats it doesn't even out. It bothers me, even though I don't think it would make *too* much of a difference due to diminishing returns.

Maybe do tokens for lairs?

Think about it you magic Devs.

... You are not making sense to me there. Secondaries are not suppose to be stronger than primaries. Anyways, lairs would need to be revamped completely before they even get loot that really matters like that. As it stands they can be solo'd.
