From my experience in S and S+ (as of 2.7.0), mostly speed gear like :ability_swimspeed: and :ability_runspeed:. The .96 deco used to run a variety of gear, but the damage nerf pretty much means damage up for the most part. Some more :ability_specialsaver: and :ability_specialcharge: because some weapons special loss were nerfed. Chargers these days are running a lot less :ability_damage:. Before they had at the very minimum 3 mains, but now i barely see any with more that 3. mostly 2 and sometimes even 1. :ability_haunt: has gained more popularity where as :ability_coldblooded: has dropped quite significantly since the normal e-litre had dropped a lot in use. Jet squelchers with :ability_runspeed: has also gotten quite popular because of the strafe buff. I've used it myself and it's quite fun, especially on hammerhead where a lot of running is involved. I don't pay too much attention to gear when i get splatted, so i can't say too much about it.

Well after the patch I actually use more damage up. I used to use 2 mains and 6 subs but now i use 2 mains and 9 subs, but i do recognize other players using less damage up. I use more damage up to counter that.

I remember you, you must be that person that I really know ONLY because each shirt and hat you wear has all damage up... that is totally unfair to others!:mad:

Well when you think about it, I put a lot more time and effort into my gear and now that that hack thing for Splatoon gear came out, you can choose whatever gear you want, so if some one wants pure damage up, they can have it. Just realize that it took time to get where I am right now and it's not just about the gear.

these "hacks" are exactly why they updated everything! I will never get to S+ now!

Do you actually think people get to S+ because of gear? Really? Gear helps, but you can literally get to S+ without using any useful gear at all. Just check out some players go from C- to S+ in one day. You get to S+ using skill and nothing will ever change that.

*sigh* Hacks only mess with the gear as of now. Change anything else and you get banned from ever playing your Wii U online. And as previously stated, getting to S+ depends on skill. What rank are you? I got to S before the hacks started up, and I also got the game around Christmas. Hopefully I'll get to S+, and if I do, it isn't because of my hacked gear.

people always use 12 damage up abilities!(4 in a row damage up abilities for each gear.) which I find cheating!

How is it cheating? Damage to a certain point is completely useless, and those people damage stacking don't have some sort of unfair advantage over the rest of the community.

Yeah, exactly; the only real aid that it gives is the more Damage Up you have the more likely your Two-Shot Splat gun will actually kill in two shots (counter measure in case they have Defense up, which only one is needed to keep the .96 Gal from being a two-shot.)
