It seems our gear set up won’t change much (if at all).
Armor/Stats…
The Viper build for PvE seems the most optimal for Condi and the ratio for Berserker still is a solid power option. Traits remain the same other than Holosmith specialization (of course). This possibly can change if the new stat combinations are crazy amazing…
Specialization…
Holosmith Specialization has a few DPS boosting benefits: Overheat, Solar Focusing Lens, Crystal Configuration: Storm, Laser’s Edge, and Photonic Blasting Module.
Weapons…
Pistol + Pistol still seems best (you can use Photon Forge) if Vipers.
Sword + Pistol might be better if you run Berserker than Rifle (shorter cooldowns).
Shield skills still are poo poo. :[
Haven’t tested fully…
Kits might still be needed for DPS rotation. Laser Disk and our elite Prime Light Beam have good damage and benefits from heat…but the cooldown duration on them may prove to be a DPS loss in respect to switching between kits.
