I'm trying to start a mod for LS Retribution called The Last Stand: Retribution Update (TLS:RU) and i'm finding it a bit hard to judge wargear choices as they currently are from best wargear to worst.

A lot of you have been playing Retribution a lot already and have been experimenting with heroes and wargear selection which is now more viable due to new map. So overall taking BOTH maps into account how do you rank each Hero's wargear from best to worst?

For an example this is how I would rank the Farseer's wargear choices from best to worst

Farseer
1. Runes of Warp
2. Spirit Stone of Illusion
3. Runes of the Harlequin
4. Witchblade of Isha
5. Spirit Stone of Eldritch Might
6. Rune Armor
7. Ghosthelm
8. Runes of Deception
9. Runes of Vigor
10. Pistol of the Warseer
11. Pistol of the Skyseer
12. Runes of Fortune
13. Armor of Vaul
14. Witchblade of the Crone
15. Runes of Warding
16. Runes of War
17. Warp Spear
18. Runes of Evasion
19. Singing Spear
10. Spirit Stone of Vigor
21. Pistol of the Doomseer
22. Runes of Fleetness
23. Armor of Eldanesh
24. Runes of Wrath
25. Runes of the Spider

This is harder than it looks. What is your objective? To bring everything up to loltyrant level or something else? Relative ranking among Wargears with widely different purposes is hard without having a strong idea of what is "balanced" and taking team redundancies/synergies into account.

You need to simultaneously judge viability of Wargear compared to other choices in the slot, compared to other choices for its purpose, compared to choices other heroes bring in for optimization, etc. You need to judge items how they are useful towards the build you are trying to make and how they are useful as supplements to builds outside of that. That's a lot harder than simply taking a survey of a few people who post a list of "best and worst" Wargear.

all that talk and you didnt even post a list lol
so what was really the point? you may as well have posted ´its too hard for me to give an opinion´

which is basically what ur post sums up to.

So anyone else willing to post their opinion on how the wargears rank for each hero or are they too hard to come by around here?

I can´t possibly be the only member here capable.

All that talk and I attempted to help you focus your request into something more than a generic "tell me what rocks and what sucks." If you are satisfied with meaningless lists of gear popularity without any reason or discussion to back them up, more power to ya.

Ah i see, well I apologize for the misunderstanding.
But meaningless popularity list IS infact that i am interested in.

I want to know from others players perspective that gear they find to be the most useful or best and worst in a rank order.

Only from looking at multiple replies can comparing them can we then determine what the best and worst options are. Clearly the best options should be more popular and make it into most top 10 where as the worst will not make it in.

So go ahead post up your own opinions from your own play experiences, that is what I´m seeking.
