[frosty glacier]

for boss dps

[chrome ingot]

Is there a best weapon slot to use exotics in?

[twin peak]

depends on the build

but generally not really

[drifting plinth]

anyone know when avalon gonna be in rotation next?

(i need a certain gl from it)

[high lily]

no

[vivid jewel]

$0.40

[balmy stag]

[vivid jewel]

😭 (i knew it, should i wait for it to depreciate?)

[clear aurora]

if u truly mean 40 cents thats a steal

[cedar hatch]

nobody wants your scam bro

@sudden egret

mb for the ping my friend

[sonic moat]

@hearty forum work time bro

[fathom marten]

May 19, I think. Bray.tech should have it in their rotations

The list of every catalyst and how to get them is literally above you

[rugged glade]

.

[zenith stone]

Anyone have any advice, weapons, or builds for Lawless Frontier Invasions, I’m trying to get the red praxic crystal and am getting absolutely destroyed. I’m a warlock of that matter

[fathom marten]

Chaos Reach and the fully upgraded Revitalize drone

Just beam ‘em down

You also don’t need to win to get the crystal

[zenith stone]

Any weapon suggestions? I’m mostly just using Uncivil Discourse

[zenith stone]

Oh I don’t? That makes things much easier

[shadow venture]

you do not know the big V like that

[main pulsar]

Depends, what are you running?

[chrome ingot]

In terms of what? Abilities? Armors?

[main pulsar]

And not really because some loadouts are super strong with just legendaries

[main pulsar]

Abilities

[chrome ingot]

Well i either run prism titan with consecration, stasis nade, strand melee and thundercrash, or solar wormgod hammer titan

[main pulsar]

Here

Check DM

[chrome ingot]

I am planning to make a banner of war soon

[fickle fulcrum]

Hey quick question Is a butter roll a sandwich?

[fathom marten]

Are there two separate pieces of bread?

[fathom marten]

Add in Wormgod Caress and Vexcalibur and it's pretty good

[fickle fulcrum]

yed

yes*

[fickle fulcrum]

thanks

someone is claiming a butter roll is not a sandwich lol

[sudden egret]

a big mac is cake?

[fathom marten]

No one in the culinary world takes it seriously but: https://cuberule.com/

[sudden egret]

the context is even funnier

[severe epoch]

so is stromboli a sushi?

[finite steppe]

Anyone know and able too walk me through the process of getting the facet of dominance from pale heart? Video after video and hours of work and nothing is helping or getting anywhere and I really want it

[wide granite]

Hey folks, im on 333 power level, any tips on how to get it up faster?

Currently just been playing crucible and its going up but id like a boost

[high lily]

portal activities with the green bonus engram

[wide granite]

Also, does it improve my stats for crucible whether im 333 or 500?

[high lily]

no

[wide granite]

good, thanks!

where would one find good builds nowadays?

only hunter build im using is prismatic hunter but i dont find it very fun

[high lily]

#hunters-hideout could help

or @sand hearth , hes the resident hunter

[wide granite]

will check it out then thanks

[finite steppe]

Anyone

[fathom marten]

What part are you stuck on?

[high lily]

get either 5 dark or light fragments
Light drops from enemies in Cysts
Dark drops from those chest puzzles in patrol

once you have 5 they should auto convert to a "Memory of X" if i remember correctly
that should also mark a zone on the map for you to find the box that gives it

if the fragments dont convert, delete them until you have 4, and get another

[fathom marten]

Dominance will be Memory: Seclusions of Light

[sand hearth]

i retire

the benefits dont add up anymore

[finite steppe]

Well I have killed the guys in the cyst quests and after 1 time of doing it they don’t drop/give memory dark or light anymore

[high lily]

there were benefits to hunter?

[high lily]

you have to try different cysts

that enemies that drop the light fragments are random

[fathom marten]

After you finish one Cyst, they move on to a different one

There are six Cysts in total, though only three can be visible at once

[woven hill]

Is there a spreadsheet for how to get exotic armor?

[finite steppe]

Yeah I have, are there more cyst missions than sword dance, searing light, aerial ace?

[fathom marten]

;data

[fathom marten]

Middle link

For Exotic Availability List

Read the first tab and then check class pages

[fathom marten]

Yes. You can change which Cyst is visible by finding a glowing bird near the start.

They’re set up in pairs so they switch back and forth between each other

If there is no bird, that means you haven’t unlocked the other Cyst and need to do another run of Alone in the Dark from Micah-10

[severe epoch]

whats the best kinetic slot adclear exotic?

[high lily]

necrochasm

or maybe bad juju

[severe epoch]

does barrow work well

with hatchling maybe

[high lily]

no

[severe epoch]

what ab quicksilver?

[drifting plinth]

worse

i kinda like final warning for the goofy but like it aint good

[severe epoch]

damn

bc i dont have necro and bad juju is like iffy

• non rocket pulses in a dps rotation idk

[high lily]

wym iffy

you just shoot enemy for damage buff + explosion

and super energy that scales off the buff iirc

[severe epoch]

doesnt the explosion only start happening after like 50 kills

[high lily]

no

that was changed over a year ago

[fathom marten]

It's 3 kills in 7.5 seconds or so

[severe epoch]

oh wow ok

thats a lot better than it used to be

[high lily]

THATS what i should use on strandlock

i tried barrow dyad but it felt like shit so i swapped back to High Tyrant

Bad Juju is perfect for that imo

at least rn

[severe epoch]

what strandlock build you using

just out of curiosity

[finite steppe]

Thank you

[finite steppe]

Thank you

[high lily]

bugs

[severe epoch]

swarmers?

or deimo

[high lily]

swarmers

[violet prairie]

Thorn isn't popping barriers, what am I doing wrong?

The text doesn't even show up when you ads for a bit .

[real lily]

Is there a weekly nightfall weapon

[sudden egret]

No

The old nightfalls just drop random old nightfall weapons

[sudden egret]

Anti barrier doesn’t need to ads. Does thorn have the anti barrier symbol on it?

[violet prairie]

No ab intrinsic

I wonder if thorn just doesn't have enough rounds. I can get the shield down, but it won't stun them. It's so weird. I'll try another HC.

[fathom marten]

Thorn should have the anti-barrier symbol with the anti-barrier mod selected

If it doesn't, that means you don't have the mod selected

[real lily]

No adepts?

[sudden egret]

No adepts

[cedar hatch]

devastating, ik

[real lily]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-in-rain-sad-batman-batman-gif-3935196111415974922

[fathom marten]

Old nightfall adepts are only from Xur, afaik

[sudden egret]

And only if he sells them

[cedar hatch]

that's a very big if

[sudden egret]

He sells an adept each weekend, either trials or nightfall.

[fathom marten]

Last weekend he didn't

[sudden egret]

First time in a while

[fathom marten]

April 10

[sudden egret]

A month is a while

[iron coral]

Are glaive melees scaled by the melee stat or the weapons stat?

[drifting plinth]

melee

[fathom marten]

Melee

[iron coral]

thx

[severe epoch]

how good is pure arclock nowadays

and does it specifically need an arc weapon

[glad crag]

Verity’s powered Ionic Sentry is stronger than pre nerf Consecration

[tranquil burrow]

holy god roll on this gun

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1119632103399755877/1501764517544067103/image.png?ex=69fd42b2&is=69fbf132&hm=3cc6abc2d63fddb3fe1065297ccf871b0bc30470ec9182f6f65ae3eaa1c63881&

[high lily]

wrong channel but also not a god roll

[severe epoch]

what are the best weapons to pair with it to actually build verity charges

also is it better than getaway ionic

[tranquil burrow]

94 range

bro

i can snipe

people with that fucker

[cedar hatch]

can you type full sentences as well?

mb im trolling

[glad crag]

TGhoul, Uncivil, Diris, Horseman

[high lily]

horseman???

[high lily]

coldheart when using sunstar

[fathom marten]

Horseman in the Big 26 😔

[sudden egret]

It’s still good for burst dps

No one is using it for ad clear

[glad crag]

Yeah, TGhoul in situations with good ad clear. Or else Uncivil or Horseman

For Verity builds

[severe epoch]

not diris?

it seems interesting

[lament summit]

why am i unable to find fortunes favor in the novel decryption section? i can only see it in precision

[fathom marten]

He won't sell it there

[lament summit]

damn

[fathom marten]

Everything post The Final Shape is not in Novel Decryption

[lament summit]

whats the difference between the two anyway other than using different resources

[fathom marten]

Novel Decryption is unlocking it the first time

Precision is for copies

Novel Decryption is not the only method of unlocking armors for the first time, but it is by far the easiest

Fortune's Favor is part of the Renegades expansion but one does not technically need it to get it, though it's much quicker if you do own the expansion.

[lament summit]

thats interesting

also wdym you don't need the expansion to get it?

if its not available in novel then where else

[fathom marten]

#❓destiny-questions message

It is definitely a grind but also definitely possible without the expansion

You get enough credits, 4000 to be exact, and you can purchase it for the first time from a chest near Aunor in the cantina that spawns on the same cycle as Xur

After that, you can get more copies from Precision Decryption

[sudden egret]

We got a new vid showing all the spots. https://youtu.be/E-ABeSFohoM?si=BpoSDzmoLOkDXpSx

[fathom marten]

Of course Chae would do it

[deft fox]

Is it still possible to get the lost signal grenade launcher? If so, where can I obtain it?

[fathom marten]

Weekend Xur

[glad crag]

I like Diris too. Just didn’t wanna put it on the same rung as TGhoul. Rung right underneath

[severe epoch]

but diris would definitely work better in a dps rotation right?

[ornate halo]

compared to ghoul? yes

[severe epoch]

speaking of, what weapons would i pair it with

[ornate halo]

unless you need to proc cascade i guess

[severe epoch]

i tried lost signal and hezen but the dps was iffy

[ornate halo]

what class are you on?

[severe epoch]

warlock

[glad crag]

In a rotation, yeah. It’s not about the moths then but ALH ammo. I’d go The Call instead of LS for Lead From and Worpal

[severe epoch]

id definitely need like special finisher or smt then right?

[glad crag]

Probably

[severe epoch]

in that case then would i keep hezen or go for a different heavy

[high lily]

hezen

[glad crag]

I’d say, if not Hezen then either the Vesper GL or A499

[cedar hatch]

so I have a few questions about the void sword that just came out, what's it called, where can I acquire it, and what is the god roll and does said god roll include eager edge?

and is it better than the legacy eager edge?

[fathom marten]

Sullen Claw? It's from the Equillibrium dungeon

[boreal patio]

best light swing eager iirc

cant shatterskate with it tho

[fathom marten]

It can roll with Eager Edge but it's not a vortex frame so it's worse for skating overall

[boreal patio]

also 90 ammo

[cedar hatch]

im on a ds4, I'm not shatter skating any time soon

the one and only time I was able to I was playing on a friend's account on his PC. it was a macro.

[boreal patio]

lowk easier to shatter skate on controller

[cedar hatch]

oh?

[boreal patio]

set air move to single press O

heavy, jump and air move at the same time

[cedar hatch]

heavy jump?

[fathom marten]

Heavy attack

[boreal patio]

heavy attack and jump

[cedar hatch]

do you possibly have a video recommendation?

[fathom marten]

Stand on ledge > press heavy attack, jump, and air move as fast you can in that order > succeed

[glacial hound]

literally just heavy attack>jump>shatterdive

the timing is more forgiving than you think

doesnt need to be instant cuz thats how most people mess up

[drifting plinth]

though with pracice it does become nearly instant

[cedar hatch]

I will give this a shot

once I acquire said weapon

[glacial hound]

no dont do it with sullen

its only good for skating

dont react me bud

[cedar hatch]

I'm ngl im confused, are skating and shatter skating different things?

[deft fox]

I have my gun to level 30 with max enchantments and inserted a gambits memento. Any idea why I can't put on the shaders to this gun?

[fathom marten]

Main difference is in execution. Skating in general refers to any kind of movement with a sword as a mode of transit. Shatterskating and Wellskating are exclusive to the sheer speed you get with them. Titans are just stuck with general sword skating with Eager Edge and Lion Rampart.

[fathom marten]

There's no option for Scaly Keepsake in the bottom menu?

It should have a Witch Queen seasonal icon in the corner

[zenith stone]

What’s the best way to get Deathmarks? I see people online saying doing missions in contested territory but I’ve done 3 and gotten none, am I missing something?

[glacial hound]

skating is swinging then swapping

wellskating and shatterskating are just called what they are

[shy gazelle]

Wellskating is the best movement in the game and Shatterskating is second best

[sonic moat]

Yall know how I can get the Carminica shader nowadays?

[weak oriole]

just completing crucible matches randomly i think

or private matches

[shy gazelle]

I think it can drop from crucible matches and ada probably can sell it

[sonic moat]

i dont want it anymore

[shy gazelle]

It’s a good shader

[weak oriole]

shatterskating is a lil better imo bc u don’t need super

[sonic moat]

it is but id have to play crucible

and thats just not worth it lol

[drifting plinth]

shatterskate needs stasis hunter

and that subclass is shit

[fathom marten]

Ada-1 cannot sell Carminica

[weak oriole]

swap to stasis

swap back

simple

[shy gazelle]

Shatter is worse cause it’s not as fast

[shy gazelle]

I see

[shy gazelle]

Just do private matches

[sonic moat]

wait what, elaborate on this please

[weak oriole]

do crucible private matches to obtain the shader

they drop at the end occasionally

[sonic moat]

I didnt think private matches count for or drop anything

thats wild

[shy gazelle]

They have for a little bit now

I can’t remember exactly when but it was fairly recent

[fathom marten]

At least a year, if not longer

[chrome ingot]

Is chroma rush still obtainable?

If yes, how?

[twin peak]

xur iirc

[cedar hatch]

I'm in the middle of doing harrow through equilibrium, what resist mods should I put on?

[sonic moat]

https://www.light.gg/db/items/2637837647/solstice-cloak-rekindled/

Is this thing still possible to get in modern Solstice events?

[main pulsar]

Xur and or random drop

And check gunsmith

[fathom marten]

Chroma Rush is only Xur

[main pulsar]

Really

Wait yea I think you're right

[fathom marten]

As with most weapons people are probably looking for

[main pulsar]

I'm pretty sure I've gotten a chroma rush from xur though

Gunsmith*

[fathom marten]

At some in the past, maybe

[twin peak]

banshee?

[fathom marten]

Currently it's only Xur though

[amber moss]

guys does anyone know how the weekly renegades quest works?

i keep seeing that it apparently drops guaranteed shiny 5 stars oh all of your characters but i dont see the quest anywhere

[fathom marten]

I'm not aware of any such quest

[amber moss]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1qh9xed/fyi_the_territorial_profit_quest_seems_to_give/

i havent even seen the quest but if i completed it then according to this id have the shinys in my hunters inventory which i dont

[fathom marten]

If I'm reading this right, you'd need to grab it from Spider. Can't figure out when it'll appear there, apart from at weekly reset, and that you need to complete Territory War Begins first.

[amber moss]

yeah im trying that now

its weird because ive done all my stuff on my warlock but cant recall every getting a shiny

thank you sm for the help

[amber moss]

alright so i just unlocked the cantina and stuff and its still not there

im genuinely so confused

[sonic moat]

Can you get shaders from crucible solo Private Match farming?

[calm crane]

Not possible

[sonic moat]

What about group private matches?

[normal spoke]

Where is Mars depot

[covert herald]

What’s the context of the question?

[covert herald]

I guess we’ll never know

[glass quail]

how do I equip skins? I got the star wars skins from the dlc and used them in my inventory but idk how to apply them. They don't appear in the customisation tab

[little pewter]

check your inventory, do you have a box you can claim

[covert herald]

Can you show your customisation tab, what you’re looking at?

[frosty glacier]

i’m aware, i couldn’t see microcosm there so i asked again

anyways, is grapple melee dps technically stronger for bosses than running uncivil discourse?

on hunter

[visual wyvern]

Yes but it has to be perfect

And isn’t applicable on every boss

[frail verge]

How the heck is a fireteam supposed to get through Derealize when the mission has the short circuit modifier? You'll literally die before you can escape

[sudden egret]

it won't kill you

it just leaves you with a sliver of health

[frail verge]

Huh

Was too afraid of it to test that

We had no revives

[sudden egret]

yeah, that mission needs speed

[north gust]

Other than the catalysts and intrinsics, was there more to unlock of Barrow-dyad? I barely played that episode, but I remember there being an alternate like exotic ability I think

[sudden egret]

that's it

[delicate dirge]

Is it worth trying to do the Desert Perpetual raid?

Kinda wanna get Whirl, but the whole raid just seems way too complex

[little pewter]

the armor's set bonus is nice but not insane, the guns tho are pretty good

[little pewter]

fortunately: Sherpa!

[thin ibex]

Any guides available on destiny 2? Bought all the dlc just 2 days ago wanted to start playing it

[little pewter]

heres what you do

1: watch a video guide (i recommend falloutplays)
2: get a Sherpa (teacher guides) via LFG. Make sure to specify you want to be taught and youre looking for a sherpa, and make sure your DMs are open for that

;lfg

[solar jasper]

Looking for more players?
Check out #looking-for-group for links to our LFG channels, and further resources including:

• Fireteam Finder (in-game LFG, available in the Roster tab or when launching an activity)
• Destiny 2 LFG Discord
• Renegades LFG Discord (Requires Renegades DLC)
• D2Checkpoint
• Reddit's r/Fireteam
• Reddit's r/DestinySherpa

[little pewter]

if you mean a person who personally guides you to teach you the ropes? LFG for that, but do note that you're asking for a LOT and it'll take time to find one.

[delicate dirge]

Yeah im watching Fallout rn but it might be a skill issue on my side cause im just lost as hell

[little pewter]

(this isnt me calling you selfish, you have no way of knowing how big of a ask it is.)

[little pewter]

raid guides seldom are enough on their own

[drifting plinth]

for raids you do kinda need a sherpa yeah

[little pewter]

theyre recommended because they make it easier for a sherpa to teach you

[drifting plinth]

^

[delicate dirge]

Alrighty, will think about it and thank you

[thin ibex]

Nah man just need someone to explain the basics and what I have to do/focus on as beginner I tried searching on yt but not much info there, idk which quests to do first etc

And what are raids and how do I unlock them

[little pewter]

its best done if you just ask questions and have people answer them

otherwise you'll be waiting a long, long time.

[drifting plinth]

yeah

just ask any questions in this channel

[little pewter]

endgame activities that are intended to be done with 6 people, they have "mechanics" to them, puzzles you must do on top of fighting enemies in order to progress

most raids are unlocked immediately

[thin ibex]

I see, pretty huge game to say the least because this my first time getting hit with that kind of answer

[little pewter]

its just too hard for you to do at start.

[thin ibex]

I see

[little pewter]

what youre asking for unfortunately only applies to small and/or simple games

D2 is unfortunately neither.

its something best done via video guides, and asking specific questions in question channels.

[thin ibex]

I see, I come from warframe but warframe is easier to figure out

Heard this game is pretty good

So just wanted to give it a shot

I expected something similar to wf but I was mistaken

[drifting plinth]

warframe is slightly better at that yeah

[ember prism]

For me, its strange but destiny was always the opposite. I could never get into warframe, I suppose primarily to how grindy it was since it was f2p, but regardless destiny's on-boarding is notoriously dogshit especially now... but I would say just follow whatever the game throws at you in order I guess, not even sure what that is atp

[thin ibex]

Warframe is grindy which is true but you can buy things with plat tho but the grind isn't that bad either just some of them are

Destiny 2 isn't grindy?

[ember prism]

I meant more like the time gating if you will. Crafting a part or whatever taking like 12 hours or whatever

[thin ibex]

Oh that's true

Shit crafting times

[ember prism]

Granted this is also like 2014-2015 I played so idk if changed but

[thin ibex]

4 days just to craft a warframe

[ember prism]

Yikes

Time gating is a thing in destiny to a degree but nowhere near that level

[thin ibex]

Nah it's still the same they recently decreased the amount of time to craft some frames which u get in beginning but other than it it's all the same

[ember prism]

I dont ever think i crafted more than like nyx at that time

The pvp looked interesting but nobody played it, and I think the same was true with their raids

[thin ibex]

Lol, raids got removed long back and is replaced with weekly objectives which most people play and for pvp nobody still plays it

[ember prism]

Damn

[cinder rapids]

is there any way to still obtain the techsec armor set ?

[sudden egret]

hawthorn clan engrams, 2 chances a week

till june update

[obsidian berry]

Can I redo this Grandmaster several times to get different Oxygen SR3s if I don't like the first one I get?

Haven't done it yet so I can't check lol

[tulip oar]

Yes, but after your first clear of the week it's not a guaranteed drop, even if your first clear is not a B or higher.

[obsidian berry]

Noted, thank you!

[sonic moat]

https://www.light.gg/db/items/2637837647/solstice-cloak-rekindled/

Is this thing still possible to get in modern Solstice events?

[upper matrix]

Nope

[astral geode]

Is mint retrogade still farmable?

[sudden egret]

no, just 2 changes a week from clan engrams

will be more sources at the june update

[astral geode]

Alr

[obsidian berry]

Is there a way to get an Ikelos SMG outside of the exotic mission rotator?

Damn, figured as much. I'm dying to finally craft this thing after putting the game down in the middle of that season 🥀

[sudden egret]

you're not missing out on much

[obsidian berry]

I'm ngl I have no idea what like "good" weapons are anymore, I just remember what guns felt good when I stopped playing :P

[sudden egret]

just run '/meta pve' in #stats-and-commands to see what everyone is using

[obsidian berry]

Neat, thanks

Kinda funny to see Thunderlord all the way up there, I was surprised how good it felt to use when I started playing again a few days ago and I've also been using it a lot since then

[chrome vigil]

i lowered my graphics quality and resolution, why isnt my fps increasing?

[obsidian berry]

Capped frames?

[chrome vigil]

not capped

feature is disabled

[sudden egret]

the usage is based on number of kills, it's good at ad clear

[drifting plinth]

^

[chrome vigil]

.

[sudden egret]

that's more of a #💻tech-support question

[drifting plinth]

must be vsync

[chrome vigil]

what do i set it to

it was at 165 fps before

now its off

[drifting plinth]

id leave fps limit at your monitor refresh

for pve runnning over 60 is kinda a throw though

[chrome vigil]

doesnt help

[drifting plinth]

cause bungie engine do be shit

[chrome vigil]

im in pvp

[drifting plinth]

ah

yeah then keep at 165

cause greatly diminishing returns past like 144

[chrome vigil]

vsync and fps limit is at 165

doesnt help

im at like 60-80

i need 100+

[obsidian berry]

I know this to be the case but what are like the specific issues it causes?

I've heard that line a lot and I never really hear about what having high FPS screws

[drifting plinth]

some stuff deals way more dmg

[obsidian berry]

Seriously? 😭

[drifting plinth]

and now that chunking is fixed, there is no point to go high fps

[drifting plinth]

yes

it's gotten better

but still

[obsidian berry]

That's crazy

Tbh I don't even really notice the difference from like 60 to 120

30 to 60 is a really big jump, and 60 to 120 is an improvement but not one that I super care about

[sonic moat]

what are the odds that this will pop?

[drifting plinth]

momentum is dogshit mode that no one plays

[ember prism]

Ive run 144 all the time tbh

[unborn cloak]

legacy crucible tap nah youre never getting a match

[ember prism]

Is it control > no > don't play it

[sonic moat]

i just want the carminca shader

[sonic moat]

so both rumble and comp are empty?

[ember prism]

More hyperbole, but i havent played comp in ages

Comp is in the portal so probably not

[twin peak]

mayhem

[sonic moat]

How rare is it to get shaders drops from crucible?

[sudden egret]

very

[sonic moat]

yeah i give up then

better odds with ada i guess

[sudden egret]

she has a set list of shaders she drops

[sonic moat]

i heard she could have old crucible shaders

man fuck this

[sudden egret]

maybe, I don't know all the orginal sources

[fathom marten]

Ada-1 does not sell any Crucible shaders to my knowledge

And nothing after Shadowkeep

Ignore the dates on this

[sonic moat]

rip

didnt want carminica anyway

[analog bronze]

Is anyone else on controller having running issues? I'll be sprinting and just stop sprinting but I'll still be moving forward and I gotta spam spring too much

[hidden zinc]

Hi so if I've done my priority contract and other contract for my syndicate whats best way to farm syndicate xp

[sudden egret]

contested lawless and dunk ingots

[hidden zinc]

What does contested mean

[sudden egret]

it says contested on it

let me grab a screenshot

[hidden zinc]

Ty ❤️ how do I know how much credits n dark ingot I have

[upper matrix]

Press left on d-pad while in that menu

[sudden egret]

side tab when you are on the renagades map

[hidden zinc]

Ty

What shall I spend credits on

[sudden egret]

fast talker, uncivil or refurbished for pve

[hidden zinc]

Ty, what shall I do with deathmarks and keycard artesia mons

[sudden egret]

deathmarks are used when you invade, keycard open a secret room on lawless missions, I would like up a guide on where and which key opens which one

[hidden zinc]

Ty

[visual wyvern]

Keep the death marks if you want to invade for the red crystal, otherwise you can trade them in at spider for currency

[hidden zinc]

How do I get more info only have 10

[sudden egret]

spiders gives you more each week, you get more from sucessful invading

[hidden zinc]

Ty, where do I spend my creds

[turbid talon]

As a controller user, that's not going to be a Destiny issue, friend

[chrome ingot]

How do i get the choir of one catalysts? Just finish the mission on a higher difficulty?

[calm crane]

Should need master

Yeah

[chrome ingot]

Oh okay then i quit

I‘m not doing that bossfight solo with 1 life

[wind mesa]

what's the easiest way to clear this?

[calm crane]

Go create a fireteam 🙏😭

[wind mesa]

then Ill be fighting with others for kills
Ill probably need like 10+ runs

[visual wyvern]

Whisper pinnacle ops

Thrall pit under green room

[calm crane]

Not u

[wind mesa]

tried onslaught but got tormentor in second wave 😭

[rocky elbow]

Hey is this a good submission?

[little pewter]

The most important perk, frenzy, is unfortunately missing

[rocky elbow]

Damn, should I trash?

[visual wyvern]

Probably

[rocky elbow]

Well, I got this from a kings fall raid, is it good?

[high lily]

use backup mag for the mod

[hidden zinc]

How do I get command frame iv for choir of one

[weak oriole]

do encore on master or higher difficulty

[iron coral]

What's the best spread shot handcannon if I want to try some 1-2 punch stuff?

[visual wyvern]

I mean

There’s not much differance when it comes to that

[iron coral]

Yeah, I'm just not sure if I want to run something like proximity power or just grave robber for ease of use

So, I guess the better question is whats a good roll for 3rd slot?

[hidden zinc]

Best stuff to pur on choir of one?

[hidden zinc]

Not more range?

[high lily]

range is useless in pve

always go handling and reload

[hidden zinc]

On all weapons?

[high lily]

for pve yes

unless its weapons you never want to manually reload, like Rockets, Grenade Launchers and some snipers

in which case youd just go full handling

[hidden zinc]

Ty

[sudden egret]

In most cases, you can just get closer in pve

[fleet shard]

if I get to the boss on the zero hour exotic mission and my mate is stuck far behind will he tp to me ?

or does he have to do it all

[visual wyvern]

Doesn’t tp

[fleet shard]

okay

[fleet shard]

Whats the best gun to use against walker on the zero hour mission

[sudden egret]

Dragons breath makes quick work of them

[fleet shard]

I don’t have that anything else?

[jaunty whale]

Use precision heavy weapons. Queenbreaker, whisper for example

[sudden egret]

Rocket pulse should be good enough

[analog bronze]

Psi aeterna God roll?

[severe epoch]

blast distributor or trickle charge and elemental honing

[iron coral]

Have they said whether the raid and dungeons weapons are getting new rolls? Just in case there's some I should grab before the update.

[fathom marten]

If anything, maybe the craftable raid ones since those will be directly upgradeable, it sounds like. Everything else will have to be re-earned after June 9 because the old ones won't suddenly have the new perks.

[iron coral]

I think the craftable weapons will probably stay the same. But since the dunegon ones arent craftable could get up to date rolls since some are getting origin traits anyways

For example: Matador 64 still has full auto trigger system as a roll, despite the fact its become a bit irrelevant

Just a random tinfoil hat theory

[boreal patio]

there will be new rolls, crafted guns will have access to the new stuff immediately

[iron coral]

will old perks be deprecated? Like if I have a roll crafted I'll get to keep it but not on new ones? Or will they just get more?

also, where did you get this info from? I'm getting back into the game so I'm uneducated. Is it in a TWID or not yet?

[boreal patio]

dmg on twitter

[iron coral]

cool, thanks!

[boreal patio]

im thinking a mix of both

remove some useless perks like full auto but add the new ones

[ornate halo]

whats the difference between timelost and not

[severe epoch]

timelost is the equivalent to adept

[hard grove]

I just got back into this game. I have all my old gear at power level 10. Should I just scrap it all?

Or is there a way to level it up to 300? This is so much stuff now lol

[sudden egret]

you can infuse the new gear you get into it. once you start getting tier 3 armor, it will be better stats than your old legendary armor.

[hard grove]

Gotcha. It seems like my old armor has stats that and no longer used?

[sudden egret]

more so the total stats, t3 armor has the same max total as old armor

then t4,5 can max our at 75 total

[hard grove]

Okay yea I stopped playing before there were even tiers to the armor. Wow

[sudden egret]

it wasn't that long ago, about a year

they were introduced

[hard grove]

The last time I played was 2018

[sudden egret]

okay, then none of your legendaries will be worth keeping

your exotic armor is probably not good either

[hard grove]

Lmao gotcha. Sorry, I shouldve started with that

[sudden egret]

could still have some exotic weapons still worth using

sunshot and graviton lance are still good

[hard grove]

So just equip new armorwhen I get it sounds like the move. I’m literally a new player at this point it seems

Awesome. Another dumb question. D2 is FtP now. Is there some campaign new players are following or is it the wild wild west in terms of what to do?

I’m feeling a lil aimless and overwhelmed by all this new content. Im not even sure what I have access to.

[sudden egret]

learning light and a guardian rises are the intro quests

guardian ranks also teaches the basics of the game till you hit guardian rank 6

[azure prism]

is there a gm weapon rotation?

[sudden egret]

bungie also finally got around to writing a new players guide https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/sections/44229895049108-New-Player-Guides

[sudden egret]

you can check the history in #infographics to see what past week weapons were

[azure prism]

ok

[hard grove]

Oh my god thank you!

[sudden egret]

once you've gotten your feet wet, there's 2 f2p campaigns. shadowkeep (on the moon) and beyond light (on europa)

[loud lotus]

best way to get sturm catalyst on nessus?

[sudden egret]

keep clearing a lost sector or run a nessus strike

[loud lotus]

which one has the most enemies?

[sudden egret]

all of them, just do the one that you enjoy the most

[loud lotus]

cheers

[azure prism]

Is a shiny evening sidearm just rng or will it eventually be a vanguard alert weapon? I can't seem to see it in infographics

[weak oriole]

both

[sudden egret]

4/14 was the last time it was a vanguard alert weapon

[azure prism]

i mean specifically gm tho so it's shiny

rather than just hoping it is

[sudden egret]

only the pinnacle ops weapons are in the gm

[azure prism]

ah

[sudden egret]

vanguard alert challenges drop as shiny

[azure prism]

what are the challenges?

[sudden egret]

run it 3 times

[azure prism]

is it a random weapon?

[sudden egret]

easist way to get a shiny weapon in d2

[sudden egret]

no, if you hold details over the alert, it will show what the weapon of the week is

[azure prism]

ok

ty

[sudden egret]

looks like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1119631924885987338/1501654615752577043/image.png?ex=69fe2dd7&is=69fcdc57&hm=8095585c1734ee2fbf9463e5b5d61cac462d7a58bd0e569960df3b30b57ee1d2&

[sonic moat]

Deathbringer any good? Or just memes?

same question going for TTFox

[high lily]

no and no

[sonic moat]

so only decent exotic void heavy is leviathan?

[high lily]

Tractor

[jaunty whale]

Deathbringer is too inconsistent

[sonic moat]

Holy shit dude I just did a quick test

lmao

man this game is so busted

Telesto with catalyst attack:

[jaunty whale]

Test of what

[sonic moat]

Telesto on it's own:

TTFox with catalyst

[high lily]

what about it

TTF was nerfed a while ago

[sonic moat]

NERFED?

more kile

like

taken to the back of the barn and shot in the back of the neck

goddamn

How about... DONT LAUGH! How about Heartshadow?

[high lily]

bad

[jaunty whale]

Worse than Leviathan

[sonic moat]

sad

once again

[jaunty whale]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_5wtBjRYHHxuF4oJKDb_iOGZs-wTkzB6RYbnyNLbuz4/edit?

This document should help you, go to Sustained tab and just ctrl f the weapon name, if it has significance it should be in the list

[sonic moat]

thanks man

heeey slayers fang is in there, cool ig

[jaunty whale]

Pay attention to the conditions listed in the entry. Might be something impractical for day to day use

[sonic moat]

right true

man come June I sure hope they bring some Heirloom buffs

what does "Distribution" mean?

[jaunty whale]

How the weapon is shot or swung

[sonic moat]

ah got it

[jaunty whale]

For example in the slayers fang section it says 7-7-4 meaning shoot 7 times, reload, shoot 7 times, reload, shoot 4 times

[shy gazelle]

Leviathans breath is awesome though

Coolest exotic heavy

[sonic moat]

Is this good enough to not be a dead weight?

[azure prism]

yeah that's one of the best rotations in the game

[high lily]

youll be more than ok with just auger + mint

also use nova bomb

[grim topaz]

Use a damage super and remember to throw out more Auger turrets since they don't last forever.

[sonic moat]

yeah it's about 25 or 30 seconds right? I only kept the damage going until the first turret died and super ran out

[grim topaz]

I think its about as long as bait and switch? If not a little longer?

Or rather so I've heard.

[sonic moat]

double checked, it's 25 seconds

[mental willow]

i might just being dumb, but ive just started playing again after a few years, i got the free gear that got me to 300, and shortly after i found stuff to get me to 305, but since then every single item i find exotic or legendary is 300, how do i get over the 305 mark?

[covert herald]

Portal activities

[cinder lynx]

I know this isn’t really d2 related but does anyone know of a way to play d1 on pc? If possible.

[little pewter]

The D1 discord might know, if it's even possible.

[jaunty whale]

never released on pc sadly

[glacial hound]

im almost certain people have emulated it

[high lily]

wouldnt be able to play online if that were the case, at least not on official servers

also pretty sure bungie shot down a pc port project

[loud lotus]

do nessus portal activities count to obtaining sturm's catalyst?

[shy fractal]

Question, in end game/harder content is their any point in putting anything but weapon surges on my legs, furthermore, is their any point in putting anything bjt resistance mods on my chest

[little pewter]

scavenger mods are very often worth it over surges in endgame, it depends on the specific activity in question (more specific than "raid") and the build youre running.

and specifically in the parasite build solar holster is also worth it on legs.

[balmy stag]

idk if I try to do harder content without resistance mods they just wipe my health

[little pewter]

as for anything other than resist mods, sometimes reserves are a good idea

but 90% of the time, resist mods is a no-brainer

and 100% of the time they're a good idea.

[lament summit]

is banshee the only way to get the senuna s16 sidearm?

[little pewter]

xur should sell it occasionally too.

[gray salmon]

Can I progress enough in this game now...
Just by playing solo stuff...or if there is any solo stuff left..
I left around power reset update ... Played a couple solo stuff... But couldn't continue... Irl stuff...

[drifting plinth]

*ammo gen mods

they arent reserves anymore

[little pewter]

oh, neat.

[little pewter]

you are able to progress, yes

are you asking how to progress, or if youre able to

[devout edge]

I saw streamers Do loadout switching in Dungeons and raids, and they still keep their special or heavy ammo, but why when I do it, resets to 0?

am I mistaken or missing something?

[sudden egret]

if you are swapping from a primary, it will be 0 for special

for heavy weapons, it depends what you are switching from

[gray salmon]

can i keep up ...
like is there stuff i can do in this game if i dont have team and i dont want to play with team

[little pewter]

you can

unwillingness to use LFG or anything locks you out of the stuff you'd progress towards, it doesnt lock progression itself

[drifting plinth]

the stuff it locks you out of are: raids, dual destiny(in a dlc but worth a mention here imo)

[gray salmon]

think of it more like i just want vent/distract myself from my irl stuff...moments where you just want to vent without bothering or getting bothered by anyone

[little pewter]

i somehow forgot that stuff like dungeons are just harder rather than impossible

[lone oracle]

Why tf did I just get an email from bungie store saying my order has shipped for my moments of triumphs shirt 2024?

I got my shirt back in October

[haughty chasm]

When I get to the jumping puzzle in pit what do I do?

I’m doing SF but I honestly forgot

[sudden egret]

kill the witches where the symbols are

[odd barn]

How does sword logic work in crucible? Reads to be similar to Adagio?

[haughty chasm]

How do I do boss?

I gotta get the swords and like kill the people like in first encounter?

[little pewter]

15% damage increase after kill, 35% if its someone in a super

[little pewter]

aye.

[odd barn]

Enough for a 2 tap on a 120?

[drifting plinth]

no

thank goodness

[little pewter]

no

[drifting plinth]

you need like ever so slightly higher than 25%

some shit like 26.5

[hidden zinc]

Hi

[balmy stag]

which of them?

[sudden egret]

1 for damage, 5 for chill clip utility. shiny riptide is better tho

[dreamy harbor]

I’m coming back to destiny, last time I played was the final shape I believe what weapons should I get/farm for pvp and pve

[sudden egret]

the ones that are easy to farm is psi aeterna for pve and mos athanor for pvp

both drop from portal

[dreamy harbor]

Any portal activity??

[sudden egret]

psi is from solo,fireteam, arena ops and mos is from crucible. Helps to wait for them to be the bonus focused drop.

[dreamy harbor]

lol I’ve been dismantling the mos athanor thanks @sudden egret

[lament summit]

does bakris stack with surges?

[sudden egret]

get another with slide + adagio

[sudden egret]

they do

[lament summit]

also whats the best way to get tons of glimmer

[glad viper]

Heroic public events or overthrows in pale heart

[blissful nest]

what exactly is the point of legend lost sectors now?

cause to me it seems like they just powercrept the entire point of them with novel decryption that rahool gives you

[solemn portal]

Does anyone know a really good non exotic fusion rifle for my energy slot that's easy to get as well? Cos I've been trying for a while to get a good energy weapon for dps but dk where to find one

[glad viper]

Farm exotic engrams and maybe prisms too

[blissful nest]

i deadass gotta delete prisms and golfballs in order to get new ones so that doesnt mean much to me 😭

drowning in that shit

[glad viper]

I’m with ya on the golfballs but always short on prisms and even cores

[sudden egret]

psi aeterna from portal

[solemn portal]

Which portal?

[sudden egret]

any solo, fireteam or arena ops

[solemn portal]

Alr thanks

[sudden egret]

it's featured in nightmare containment in arena ops today

[fair swift]

as a returning player from like lightfall ( ) is it even worth it? I dont even know what the hell anything is lol

like its familiar but also like man what am i even looking at

[sudden egret]

sure, you got a lot of content to catch up on

[fair swift]

this probably might be hard to explain but what is the portal

im not sure what to choose

[sudden egret]

it's a place to launch activities rather than going to each planet. Working on your guardian ranks explains how it works

portal is also the main way to increase your power level

[fair swift]

im also starting a new character, so should i just follow the into the light quest ? or focus on something else

[sudden egret]

yes, learning light and guardian rises would be the first quests to focus on

[fair swift]

ic ic ty ty, ill finish those then before anything else

[hidden zinc]

Why do ppl go crazy about choir of one, its ass and barely does any damage

[brave canyon]

It’s super strong for ad clear in high end/contest content it’s super ammo efficient for double special it can burst down majors/mini bosses and it’s okay if you have to dump some of it into a boss.

Not sure why you’re trying to DPS with it 😂😭

[little pewter]

its not ass and does quite a good bit of damage

its not something people go "crazy" for these days

but its enjoyed for its high flexibility, being a good weapon for the vast majority of content

[hidden zinc]

Whats a good weapon to combine it with, im using nox perenial and it kinda sucks

[little pewter]

Special weapon thats a high burst weapon

[sudden egret]

most use mint, if you don't have a good one, you're kinda stuck with conspiracy Honed or riptide.

[hidden zinc]

How do I get those weapons besides riptide

Also it might he bcz im power level 410 n the mission is 450

Sp I barely do any dmg lol

[sudden egret]

mint is 2 chances a week from clan engrams. conspiracy honed is from equilibrium dungeon

[sudden egret]

yeah, being -40 under means you don't do a lot of damage

[main pulsar]

If you need help with anything I can join up and help you through it

[hidden zinc]

What should I spend my strange coins on at xur

Nvm

[lament summit]

how does one unlock the europan explorer 2 thing? i'm trying to get cloudstrike but no guide helped with this part

i tried visiting exo stranger to get the a hard rain falls quest but she didn't have any quests to give me

[boreal patio]

do you do the beyond light main campaign and Reclaiming Europa

[lament summit]

yes

[boreal patio]

check the kiosk at the tower for it, or do you have the dark priestess empire hunt quest

[glad viper]

Does getting 100k score on the weekly neomuna mission still give a guaranteed red border?

[sudden egret]

it should, did you not get one?

[glad viper]

I’ll have to try it again today it’s the downfall mission where you have countdown to escape at the end but I didn’t get any loot after finishing

[fluid egret]

Is Faith-Keeper still obtainable (outside of Xur)?

[sudden egret]

if starcrossed is in the legacy exotic rotator, it might still drop from that

[drifting plinth]

it's vox rn

[drifting plinth]

also, starcrossed is wish weapons

faithkeeper is echoes

[sudden egret]

oh right

then no

since encore doesn't drop the seasonal stuff

[fluid egret]

Ah, bummer. Thanks.

[real lily]

what raid has the most ads

[iron coral]

Does anyone know if the +50 Strength buff on Athrys's Embrace is now +50 melee?

Light.gg still uses the old definition. Are melee and strength equivalent in terms of benefits? or would it be like 30 melee instead?

[fathom marten]

There’s the infinite Thrallway in King’s Fall, I think. Most people use Shuro Chi checkpoint in Last Wish though because there’s an easy flag for heavy and special ammo.

[fathom marten]

It is melee stat now

I’d check probably compendium for numbers over light.gg

[iron coral]

Ok, thank you

[severe epoch]

whats the best weapon (legendary or exotic) to pair with a rocket pulse?

[drifting plinth]

other rocket pulse

[severe epoch]

mb i meant heavy

[little pewter]

For dps, finalitys augur, parasite, or whirling ovation

[severe epoch]

are there pretty much no legendaries that outdps those?

[drifting plinth]

best legendary would be hezen

wouldnt quite outdps

but very good

vog origin goated

[severe epoch]

dang

[drifting plinth]

imagine if they add a rewind+targetlock smg with it

[sudden egret]

not on lock, good shout can on hunter with mobius

[frosty glacier]

what is contraverse chunking? ive heard the term been thrown around, is it something hunters can do?

[turbid sorrel]

hunters cannot no

contra chunking was fixed as well

[drifting plinth]

neither does it exist anymore at all

[frosty glacier]

ah okidoki, what was it?

[turbid sorrel]

a coding bug that allowed for warlocks to obliterate bosses with just a nade

and it was infi grenade too

[frosty glacier]

ah lol

also i saw a build

yeah based around grapple melee

[brittle wing]

You used a warlock exotic with a specific void fragment to overload the game with damage instances

[frosty glacier]

what do u think about grapple melee builds

[severe epoch]

thats different

[frosty glacier]

makes sense

[brittle wing]

And then you'd delete boss hp like it was nothin

[frosty glacier]

sounds technical

[severe epoch]

contraverse is contraverse hold, a warlock exotic gauntlet that only works with the void subclass

[severe epoch]

wait it was tied to a frag?

[brittle wing]

Frag made it more consistent

[turbid sorrel]

erm technically works with primsatic grape grenade

[brittle wing]

Mods, kill this user

[turbid sorrel]

damn

i cant even spell prismatic

im washed

[severe epoch]

...no?

[brittle wing]

Bro is unc

[severe epoch]

contra is inherently tied to chaos accelerant

[frosty glacier]

wdym

[severe epoch]

grapple melee builds have nothing to do with contraverse hold chunking

[frosty glacier]

yeah it’s a separate question shoulda clarified

what do u think about them

i use hunter

[severe epoch]

definitely strong

[turbid sorrel]

grapple melee is hunters best build

[frosty glacier]

for general gameplay?

[turbid sorrel]

aside from uncivil lp abuse

[severe epoch]

yeah

[frosty glacier]

i’m using uncivil discourse rn

i saw a dude grapple melee dregen sere to death in one phase solo

i definitely can’t do that

[severe epoch]

spirit of cyrtarachne and inmost maybe

on relativism

[frosty glacier]

what’s that

[severe epoch]

hunter exotic class item

[frosty glacier]

is that what u use to make the grapple melee do crazy dmg

[severe epoch]

not sure about the damage as im not TOO familiar with hunter exotics but ik that combo on the class item is pretty good for survivability and ability regen

[buoyant copper]

Why am I not gaining higher power gear from portals anymore. Everything I get is below my gear I already have

[severe epoch]

you need to have at least A rank rewards

[toxic vigil]

i suck at it

[sudden egret]

At shooting dragons breath? You just shoot it once and go hide.

[toxic vigil]

i did that, idk why but i have to drop like 3 shots into it

they say you gotta shoot under

or something

also if i use dragons breath

what should i use in my other slots

for the boss?

and servitor

[sudden egret]

Dragons breath also works

Only shoot it when it’s at max fuel

For max damage

[toxic vigil]

ohh i see

yea i don't have catalyst

[sudden egret]

Get that done too

[toxic vigil]

alright i will 🫡

[toxic vigil]

do i have to shoot under the walker?

or just its leg?

[past minnow]

yo what weapons are used for damage rotations now, just wanted to see what heavies to use

[calm crane]

Finality’s auger

[high lily]

play higher difficulty

[high lily]

Whirling Ovation, Parasite, Finality's Auger

[junior root]

Is Dead Man's Tale even viable for pve? Just got back into the game and I'm trying to fix up my build

[high lily]

never really has been

(sorry @spare tusk ☹️ )

[junior root]

I only really used it bc it was fun to use :)

[severe epoch]

its still a monster in pvp

[junior root]

Noted

[glacial hound]

idk about monster

its ok

[sudden egret]

Revert rdm nerf 🥀

[turbid sorrel]

yea do it

so i can abuse tlw n division again

[sudden egret]

Martlet 🔥

[fathom marten]

@turbid sorrel scam

[shadow venture]

No way is this real?
please reply with big belly slapping if so!!

[static basin]

iam_mayo has been banned!

[turbid sorrel]

[amber sage]

Is there a good armor set bonus for hunters combined with ferropotent? I came back to the game and I don’t have any of the previous sets like smoke jumper

[haughty chasm]

Did they fix witness cheese?

The prebreak

[sudden egret]

Button pre break? Yeah

[hidden zinc]

Does power level effect invasion

[sudden egret]

Does not

[vale dock]

Is there any good legendary bow I could use? I wanna use something with my Psi Arterna 🫣

[drifting plinth]

there is not

bows suck

and none of the ones that are half decent esp for top slot are obtainable iirc

[vale dock]

Ah dang, so nothing great for unstoppable’s this season

[fathom marten]

Malfeasance is usually my backup for Unstoppable champs

[vale dock]

Tyty

[drifting plinth]

or you can run anything from past 2 seasons with one of the seasonal mods

(anything with blue icon)

[loud lotus]

do portal activities on nessus drop sturm catalyst?

[sudden egret]

Not sure, most of us got it before portal existed

[loud lotus]

it says on nessus and i havent had any luck on the destination itself so far

[sudden egret]

It does still drop from Nessus, it’s very rare

[haughty chasm]

What’s good dps for second boss in Warlords?

I’m thinking of doing SF run tomorrow

[sudden egret]

Which class?

[loud lotus]

how rare?

i mean i know it varies because people say it took them a few minutes while it took others hours

[fathom marten]

;rng

[solar jasper]

Why is X not dropping?
It's RNG. No, the game is not bugged for you, or broken, it's simply bad luck.

• Bungie does not publish drop rates.
• We don't know how many estimated runs it will take for a specific item to drop.
• We do not know how much drop-rate-boosting triumphs contribute either, since we don't know the base drop rate.
• Runs are all separate environments. A 1/3 chance does not mean you get the loot you want one out of three times, it just means there is that percentage of chance whenever you run the activity that you get said loot.
• Perks are not weighted. All weapons drop with their perks at the same rate.

[sudden egret]

We don’t know exact drop %

[past minnow]

havent touched the game since final shape ended, are there no more pinnacle activities and dungeons are just perma-farmable?

[fathom marten]

Pretty much

[sudden egret]

portal is where you gain power now

[past minnow]

ye i figured, just wanted to see if i can just farm auger without having to wait for it to be in rotation

[sudden egret]

yep, don't have to wait

[past minnow]

swag

[onyx topaz]

When will the year of prophecy be on sale?

[glacial hound]

[onyx topaz]

Ahhhhhhhh

[glacial hound]

[onyx topaz]

I know I was just broke at the time 😢

For the Grandmaster Conquests (if done solo), will the bonus points timer running out result in the removal of all (self) revive tokens and cause a death to = orbit/wipe?
This was the case for Master Conquest: Derealize when I soloed it, but I want to make sure here.

[high lily]

yes, timer running out = no more tokens

[fluid egret]

Thrilling...

Are the Grandmaster Conquests worse than Derealize (Conquest)? That one was absolute misery to do for a whole lot of reasons.

Solo, to be clear. Just want to know if I need to prepare to slam my skull into a wall for many hours like I did for Derealize.

[high lily]

gm conquests are harder yes

derealize was like, entry level

[fluid egret]

I didn't think it was very hard, just self conflicting and frustrating. 8/13 runs were ended by bugs. But I get your meaning, thanks. Time to prep to suffer

[normal spoke]

I finished Renegades. What should I play now to level up and stuff?

And how do I get better weapons?

[fathom marten]

portal

[normal spoke]

Portal gives Only Shit lol

[fathom marten]

Mostly for leveling, only good weapon out of the portal currently is Psi Aeterna

For weapons in general, probably anything graded B or higher, or high priority on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JM-0SlxVDAi-C6rGVlLxa-J1WGewEeL8Qvq4htWZHhY/edit?gid=346832350#gid=346832350

[normal spoke]

But how can i lvl up Charakter

Bc Only on lvl 2

[normal spoke]

It says: problems with the file

[fathom marten]

Guardian Ranks? Open up your character and go left one tab or choose the "Journey" option > Do whatever is listed there under "Journey" or "Guardian Ranks". They don't mean much though and aren't useful past Rank 6.

[fathom marten]

Uh... I don't know what to do about that.

[normal spoke]

Ahh alr

[normal spoke]

Can u send a pic in dm

[turbid talon]

Not really, since it has about thirty tabs.

And each tab requires scrolling

[normal spoke]

Lol

[fluid egret]

Are Holofoils still obtainable?

[turbid talon]

The ITL ones? No.

But they're also identical, realistically.

[fluid egret]

Are those the only ones they've released?

[turbid talon]

Unless there have been some since TFS, yes. But they also don't do anything.

They're practically identical items, stat wise.

[fluid egret]

Ah, drat. I know they're the same, I just want the fancy holofoil status.
Has there been any word on them returning them or adding more?

[turbid talon]

To be fair, I don't think anyone would even notice. Not only were they not exclusive bar the time period, most people would confuse them with Shaders anyway.

After all, we do have animated Shaders these days.

[fluid egret]

Yeah, it's just a thing for me. It's nice knowing you've got something funky. A shame.

The only one I've got is an Edge Transit (apparently).

[normal spoke]

How to get better guns

Is the lightsaber good or Shit?

[turbid talon]

Well, the above document is a great list for that. It opens fine for us, so maybe it's your platform.

[cedar hatch]

whats the cataphract gl3 gr?

[cedar hatch]

overpowered with the right core from what i understand

[turbid talon]

Strand Adaptive Frame Heavy GL from Trials

[cedar hatch]

are there any "good" non-meta gls in the game rn? preferably void/solar/stasis?

[turbid talon]

Heavy or Special?

...why non-meta?

[cedar hatch]

bc those specific subclasses arent "meta" according to most ppl

[little pewter]

Elements don't matter on most weapons when regarding dps

[turbid talon]

What?

[jaunty whale]

you don't have to match your weapon element to your subclass

[cedar hatch]

doesnt it help though? or have i been told wrong for years lol

[turbid talon]

Uh, only if you actively build into it

Like are you choosing Fragments or using Exotics that affect that

[jaunty whale]

depends on what you want out of it. most of the time you just want the damage and in that case matching elements to your subclass does not matter

[turbid talon]

Also, this really depends. Like, Dawnblade has been meta since launch.

[cedar hatch]

now that im trying to figure out how to explain my builds i seem to barely understand them myself. i just aim to make everythng go...boom?

[jaunty whale]

yeah, might want to look into that

[little pewter]

The heavy GL? Its ment to be for bosses

You aim at the boss and you shoot the gun

[cedar hatch]

should i send my dim links rq? i have 2 builds that i use, technically 3 bc i have 2 void builds.

[turbid talon]

Nothing wrong with having two builds of the same element focus

[normal spoke]

which . Core

[covert herald]

I was very confused momentarily before I remembered Dawnblade was the subclass not the super lmao

[turbid talon]

silly billy

[cedar hatch]

so here's my pvp solar build
https://dim.gg/dj5f76a/Equipped

[jaunty whale]

tbh praxic blade is a decent jack of all trades weapon that (IMO) is being carried by current artifact perk selection

[cedar hatch]

hold on I think I grabbed the wrong link I'm sorry

[turbid talon]

Not sure how much use you'll get from Shards given how long it takes to charge a Super. Most folks get one a match, so the refund is useless.
Double Primary can work in PvP but giving up the Special's one hit kill potential is a lot
Edgewise... is... Well, I'd personally rather a rocket. And Edgewise specifically needs a walking cane by now.
Resist mods do not work in PvP

...wait, does this use the OG Mida Mini-Tool?

[cedar hatch]

uh

there's a new one?

[turbid talon]

Yeah, since pretty much Beyond Light.

[cedar hatch]

this is the one I pulled from the tower

I thought it was the only one

[turbid talon]

well you're about six years out of date there friend haha

[cedar hatch]

oh

rip

on the new account and everything

well, out of curiosity, how does this someone put together solar pve build look?

[turbid talon]

Uh, next question - why Knock 'Em Down when you're not using Ember of Torches?

Also, who are you Igniting in PvP/

[cedar hatch]

https://dim.gg/xidun7a/Equipped

[cedar hatch]

I don't know how to proc anything in pvp

so it's mainly the weapons Im worried about there, although I do need to learn a good bit about it

I'm not the brightest I do apologize

[fluid egret]

It kinda pales when you start doing higher end content, being outpaced by other exotics that bring more damage to the table (in exchange for the defensive power of Praxic, and that gap will only get larger post-season when the artifact mods change). That said, it's really strong for solo players that need the defensive benefit of Praxic while they learn to play better (without the need for it), or while they figure out what they need to do to not need it.

[turbid talon]

Ignitions proc when you get 100 Scorch stacks on an enemy. But your only source of Scorch is your melee and grenade, which will likely kill someone before that ever happens, and your Gunpowder Gamble, which requires kills to build up.
But, you've invested 3/4 Fragments into Ignitions

[fluid egret]

It's really solid overall but the Impact Core makes it much more viable as a damage tool.

[turbid talon]

And Knock 'Em Down won't do much unless you get a melee kill whilst Radiant, which you aren't proccing

So that Aspect is doing nothing either right now

[cedar hatch]

i believe I'm using it bc ABS projectiles to blade barrage, but that's about all I know it does

adds

sorry voice typing, on the way outside to grab my doordash

[turbid talon]

Right, but BB already kills even Supers without the additional projectiles in 90% of cases.

Knock 'Em Down can, however, pair with Ember of Torches. Melee hits give Radiant, so getting a melee kill will self proc the total refund.

It's great with Weighted Throwing Knife, if you can land the hits.

[abstract bear]

Need athrys

Game too hard without

[turbid talon]

As for the PvE build... I'd drop Beams. It does work, but it's rarely functional. Again I'd recommend Torches, so you can actually source some Radiant and free melee refresh. And the Hairy Parent Heavy there is... well, it's nothing. It'll keep you alive but it has no damage or reload perks. It's just a Machine Gun with nothing to help the DPS but a deep mag.

On the bright side, for PvE, the Resist mods do actually work here.

[twin peak]

yeah torches is typically a must for solar hunter

[cedar hatch]

with this build, what weapons should I look into

[fluid egret]

Personally, I would trade out your Galanor for a more universally impactful exotic. Blade Barrage isn't going to be used constantly, and there are other exotics that can buff the rest of your kit (such as Fortune's Favor).

You could also replace it with Celestial Nighthawk (if you're willing to swap to Golden Gun for single target DPS), Athrys's Embrace (if you want to swap to Weighted Knife and set up a Radiant melee chain build for ad clear and Radiant uptime), Radiant Dance Machines (to overcharge your dodge and give multiple counts to allow you to refresh melee constantly, staying on Knife Trick, for damage + radiant uptime, if you fear missing a knife and messing up the kill chain or want to use it on enemies who don't die to a single knife throw).

If I had to recc an exotic to use for this, Fortune's Favor. It will buff literally your entire kit and give you an overshield for a health buffer. You gain 15% extra weapon damage (20% for heat based weapons), as well as some other buffs (35 stability + handling, 5% reduced accuracy cone size), alongside the aforementioned (void) overshield.

[turbid talon]

well i've got no idea what rolls are on your guns since DIM can't share that but Not Heir Apparent™ is a good start haha

[twin peak]

athrys is more for pvp

[turbid talon]

I won't offer too much advice on what to use these days since I haven't really played since TFS so I'll let the others take over here

[fluid egret]

Yeah, but it can be a fun one for low/mid tier PVE to weighted spam.

[twin peak]

that’s what ophidia does

but better

and easier

[fluid egret]

Oh, right, that exotic does, in fact, exist.

I forget. You are right. It is better overall.

[twin peak]

yas ophidia and nighthawk are pretty much the only stable solar builds

athrys is left for pvp

[turbid talon]

i love my one shot knife killing from around two corners

[fluid egret]

Fortune's Favor works great but it isn't explicitly solar based, just happens to buff it, improve general survivability and has a secret/hidden +5% buff to "heat" weapons (which I do believe are just solar weapons but I am not sure).

[turbid talon]

nnnno heat would be ones with the heat mechanic

[fluid egret]

Are those the uh

The new ones from Renegades?

[turbid talon]

yes

[fluid egret]

That would make sense, yeah. Okay, I stand corrected on the meaning of heat weapons.
