I am not going to say anything but the truth here!
When I first saw the gear load out choices I was a bit meh!! (Mainly ignorance on my behalf) What difference can only three pieces make? After playing on The Division and having 6 pieces and the weapons that also add to your load out.
But now I have started to get epic & legendary gear and I am understanding how they stack and work, I think gearbox have got a good system here.
My Thorn gear load out is amazing,
Epic boots
- 11% movement speed
- 8.66% sprint speed
Epic bottle
- 8% health regen speed
- 5% health regen speed (5 seconds after taking damage)
- 6% movement speed
Epic needle
+9.66% health regen speed
- 10% CC duration
- 5.5% health regen speed (while under CC effect)
Honestly my Thorn is like on crack, speed and steroids once all gear sets are active. The only problem is 1800 shards each it takes a while.
