Is SHD and expertise the big difference maker?
Heya all! I’m a new player just started a couple weeks ago. Fun game and community. I’m currently up to SHD 57 and it’s steady going. 1 or 2 levels a mission I’m mostly playing in free time on weekends and an hour or so when I can. I’ve got some exotics and I made a build off YouTube for the skills that heal everyone’s armor when I do skill damage. Thing is, I’ve got it all slotted and upgraded the way the video says but my output especially with my capacitor rifle isn’t nearly what I see everyone else doing. Like 250k per hit on the rifle. Is the major difference in power coming from SHD levels and expertise? I’ve got rank 10 in the gear that I wear but overall expertise is low since I just started that grind. Trying to understand what causes the next big jump in damage output. I’m able to do legendary in a group but I’m always around 25% below everyone else in dps. Any help understanding how pve power scales at this point would really be appreciated thanks :)
