Looking for gear/ability suggestions

[EricB123]

In the first game I used this loadout and loved it:

Hat: Ink Saver (Main) + Defense Up

Shirt: Cold Blooded + Ink Recovery Up

Shoes: Ink Resistance Up + Special Duration Up

In Splatoon 2, I'm using the Tentatek Splattershot, and I'm wondering if I should go for the same gear, or swap out one or two of the abilities. Is Cold Blooded as useful in this game since Echolocator is gone? Are Defense Up and Special Duration Up still as useful?

Defense Up along with Damage Up were removed in Splatoon 2. In addition, Ink Resistance can now be on subs, shirts, and hats as well.
I think your set is fine overall, the Tentatek is very versatile and any combination of mains and subs should do fine with it.
Personally, I would go with Ink Savers and Ink Recoveries, and Ink Resistance if you like having it around.
Hopefully this helps you somewhat, I myself am still trying to find a nice balance because my precious Damage Up Charger set was removed.
Edit: Cold Blooded is no longer restricted to shirts.
