[REVISED BUILD] Striker-AOK (50% Armor on Kill) / #Division2 08-05-24) #TomClancy #wz

CONCLUSION: In the end, this build is similar to other builds I use... mostly a tweak to get more Armor and Armor on Kill. 50% Armor on Kill is only doable by losing Coyote's Mask which is a big drop in damage. Using Emeline's Guard SMG instead of a Banshee with Preservation will add 10% AOK to all the numbers down below at the cost of noticeably reduced damage.

Use 20% Armor on Kill (Gunner + Deathgrips OR Palisades) if you're confident you can joust with multiple enemies at close range. I consider 20% Armor on Kill to be the minimum for rushing enemy positions. Deathgrips will make you slightly tougher when your Armor is gone. Palisades allows for slightly more damage.

Use 30% Armor on Kill (Gunner + Coyote's Mask + Preservation + Ceska Vyroba) if you'd like more Armor on Kill that comes more slowly but the build offers similar damage to 20%. Ceska allows you to restore DTOOC to the St. Elmo's 3rd attribute and remove CHC mods from the armor in favor of more damage.

Use 40% Armor on Kill (Gunner + Coyote's Mask + Preservation + Deathgrips OR Palisades) for more protection but there is a noticeable drop in damage coming down from 30% AOK.

Use 50% Armor on Kill ((Gunner + Preservation + Deathgrips AND Palisades), for good tanking ability, but you'll notice ANOTHER drop in damage coming down from 40% AOK. IMHO, 50% Armor on Kill will not save a character if surrounded by enemies. The sweet spot is 20% to 30% AOK.
