In The Division 2, we present the best armor talents that are particularly recommended for skill builds and hybrid builds after Title Update 5.
For which builds are the talents suitable? In The Division 2, you have many options to build unique builds. Skill builds were long considered useless, but with the recent Title Update 5, they have finally become really good options.
YouTuber LtBuzzLitebeer has analyzed all talents in The Division 2 and has pointed out which ones are currently particularly suitable for the powerful skill builds. However, these are not only good for skill builds; you can also apply them for your hybrid builds. Below the video, we present the best armor talents that you should loot or craft, in German:
Destructive (Destructive) – The best passive utility talent
This is what the talent “Destructive” does: You gain +20% explosion damage.
This makes the talent so strong: Destructive is currently one of the best talents for skill builds. Especially for this bombastic drone build. With it, you can significantly increase the explosion damage your skills deal.
Destructive can be found in all 6 armor slots. And if you equip 6x Destructive, you will blast away all enemies.
More good passive utility talents:
- Capacitive: This talent gives +20% skill duration. However, the bonus is relatively low, which is why you should increase skill duration with mods instead.
- Empowered: This talent gives +10% skill strength. However, you better increase this bonus with armor attributes.
Calculated (Calculated) – A strong, active utility talent
This is what the talent “Calculated” does: Kills from cover reduce the active cooldown of skills by 10%.
This makes the talent so strong: In The Division 2, you should spend most of your time in cover. And since you only need to achieve kills from cover for the talent bonus, Calculated constantly ensures that you can use your skills more often.
More good active utility talents:
- Deceptive Death: Status effects spread to the next enemy within 10m. Can occur once every 15 seconds. If you have a build that relies on status effects like burns, this is a useful talent.
- Talented: With kills using skills, there is a 25% chance to reset active skill cooldowns. This is a really good talent that, while not reliable (only 25%), can decide between life and death in practice.
- Technical Assistance: Kills through active skills grant +25% skill damage for 10 seconds. A must-have talent for skill builds.
- Terminator: Destroying an enemy’s armor grants +35% skill damage for 15 seconds. This is the best talent to increase skill damage. However, it is only useful in certain situations.
More exciting talents for specific situations
These talents are worth considering:
- Compensated: Weapon damage is increased by 15% when critical hit chance is below 20%. If you primarily build around skills and not at all on crits, you can still deal solid weapon damage with this talent.
- On the Ropes: Weapon damage increases by 25% when all skills are on cooldown. Activate all your skills that already deal good damage, and then take advantage of this talent by having increased weapon damage on top of that. This way you bridge the time until you can use the skills again.
- Impact Charge: Destroying an enemy skill helper grants +50% explosion damage for 15 seconds. If you have skills that deal explosion damage, this is a good talent that significantly increases damage. It can only be found on chest pieces.
- Explorer: +20% weapon damage to enemies marked by the pulse. +20% is a substantial boost. Additionally, your teammates also benefit as they deal more damage from the pulse generator. This talent can only be found on masks.
- Malicious: +10% weapon damage to enemies affected by status effects. If you use skills that inflict status effects, you have a good talent with Malicious.
