[heady rapids]

I just got back into the game a couple days ago

I stopped playing like a year ago

[tawdry sequoia]

Welcome back guardian

[heady rapids]

Just got two 425 drops from the first mission

It is leveling me up

[drifting plinth]

campaign does, world drops do not

[heady rapids]

Might just be the first mission but looks promising

But the loot is tierless

[past minnow]

is this exotic any good?

[main pulsar]

Holy tuff

[molten skiff]

💎

[mental willow]

Whats the nightfall for today? Still trying to get that Forsaken nightfall achievement and cant load the game right now

[drifting plinth]

heist mars

[mental willow]

thank you

[rocky elbow]

Chat one last opinion :) is this good for pve?

[drifting plinth]

not at lal

[calm crane]

U need FTTC Bns

Every other roll is

[rocky elbow]

How about this?? 🥲🥲

[calm crane]

Keep

Until crafted

[rocky elbow]

Ok, well, I got an idea :) I ignore the meta and use my own skills and weapons 😁

[calm crane]

U don’t need to use meta weapons

[rocky elbow]

Apparently everyone in raiding needs to according to lfg 😆 (which btw, they’ve never gotten a clear half the time)

[brave canyon]

I mean in a DPS scenario on a raid you not using a meta gun is going to significantly drop your DPS compared to what it would if you used a meta weapon

And for certain raids like 5 feat or cutthroat that pretty much makes the run chalked

[maiden ledge]

anyone know how to do this

[sudden egret]

wait for them to be released at the june update

[maiden ledge]

ok ty

[hidden zinc]

Sum1 told me guardian rank 9 guarantees tier 5 armor drops this true?

[fathom marten]

Main thing that affects tiers is light level

There is no explicit reward for any guardian rank objective past rank 6

[hidden zinc]

So guardian rank does not effect it? What guardian rank do I need for it to effect armor t5 drops

[upper matrix]

That was old myth back during early days of EoF.
Rank used to affects the tier event engram decrypted (one from event tab)
Idk if it still affects it

[fathom marten]

It should not anymore

[upper matrix]

Tier 5 gear starts dropping after 450 light and consistently after 470

[fathom marten]

The reason why I said light level is the "main" thing that affects tiers is because there are other things that do affect it, but they're much more specific. For example, Spider has a reward that will increase all tier drops by 1, but only items from the Lawless Frontier and the Equilibrium dungeon.

[hidden zinc]

Shall I grind to rank 9 just incase

Maybe it'll help

[fathom marten]

It won't but that's up to you

[balmy stag]

it shouldnt matter just get to 470 power

but if ur bored I dont see why not

[brave canyon]

No you should just grind to 450 power

[swift hinge]

Should I focus on completing Renegade story or doing portals to increase my light level

[fathom marten]

If you've gotten through Fire & Ice, you can probably just stop there and switch to portal instead. Not much, if anything, requires you to finish the story

[swift hinge]

Gotcha

[hidden zinc]

Wgats god roll fur the gm bow

[fleet shard]

DAREs of eternity is it possible to get the swoard with eager edge´? done so many and dont see it drop

did they change something

[tawdry sequoia]

Yes u can

[little pewter]

you can craft it if youre struggling to get it to drop

[waxen ibex]

The purple one is a rare drop but only needs one to craft it and always drops as red border, the blue one drops at the same rate as the rest of the guns in the pool but you need multiple for pattern

Just keep grinding it

[fleet shard]

im trying to get it for a friend

[fleet shard]

can a new light do that?

[brave canyon]

That doesn’t make a difference on what they told you

Whether it’s your account or their account

It’s like if you’re asking where to buy eggs and someone tells you Walmart. Whether you’re buying the eggs or your friend is buying the eggs the answer is still Walmart.

[waxen ibex]

Yes

Crafting is accessible to anyone

[haughty chasm]

Is rank 5 with the tharsis vendors 5k rep?

[fleet shard]

counter:
Cute analogy, but it's bullshit.
Buying eggs and robbing the store with a gun are not the same thing just because both happen at Walmart.
Whether you do it or your friend does it changes everything — morally, legally, and practically. The location doesn’t erase responsibility or intent.
Try a better metaphor.

[brave canyon]

You lost me there chief

[tawdry sequoia]

Lmao

[sudden egret]

he lost all of us there

who visits the store doesn't change their inventory

[obsidian berry]

Do the exotic missions on rotation have equally weighted drops or is it skewed

I've gotten 16 weapons without an Ikelos SMG and I'm kinda losing it

[waxen ibex]

Did you ask grok to reply for you

[fleet shard]

yes

[waxen ibex]

The thing you want doesn't drop it's leftover Activision desire sensor technology

See patent no. 6769420

[sudden egret]

The challenges will always give you a read border you need. Otherwise, it's all the same

[brave canyon]

Did Grok say if the blick had a switch or not ?

[obsidian berry]

Actually after consulting the drop table there's 10 weapons so 16 runs without the SMG isn't too crazy

But I have gotten 5 of the linear and also zero of the sniper so it feels blehhhhhh weighted

[obsidian berry]

Seraph's Shield has challenges...?

[waxen ibex]

Weekly completion for both difficulties gives a guaranteed red border each

[obsidian berry]

Ohhh

I've done both difficulties atp I fear :/

[waxen ibex]

They don't show in the menu anymore as challenges I think but they still work

[obsidian berry]

I used to be really bad at this mission and now at 13 completions I'm speedrunning it 😭

Well, "going fast," very short of actual speedrunning

[shadow venture]

Technically it wasnt a wrong assumption considering that one of the requirements for 9 was to get 450 power

[hidden zinc]

Hi guys, I have a few questions, whats groll for the gm bow atm and what class shall I use hunter or titan for pve general use and raids/dungeons (no loght saber (i know rn hunter is best for dps but with upcoming update they'll probably nerf it no? So what do u think i should get next

[brave canyon]

You should play all 3 classes no reason to limit yourself to 1 or 2

[waxen ibex]

This isn't quite correct either, there was a line in the article introducing gear tiers that guardian rank would affect drops in missions and content creators misinterpreted it to apply to everything including completion rewards when it only affects the in between chests and engrams dropped from enemies

[hidden zinc]

Yea but which next

[waxen ibex]

While the completion rewards only consider power

The guardian rank affected drops also top out at like t3 anyway so it was super irrelevant

[brave canyon]

Just work on both there’s not much going on rn you need to min max for

[waxen ibex]

The one that interests you

Hunter might have the highest damage ceiling but it's arguably the weakest at everything else rn pve-wise

And it's not like the damage ceiling of rocket pulse slop is low especially with shit like sanguine in the game

[brave canyon]

If you want to DPS with rocket pulses play Titan if you want to DPS with uncivil play Hunter EZ gg

[waxen ibex]

Hunter just has one super abusable exotic w/ the special ammo hc and grapple punch otherwise things are on pretty even ground

[hidden zinc]

Im terms of utility what does hunter offer? Om using well lock on my warlock @brave canyon

[waxen ibex]

That's what hunter is lacking in as of recent, tether and damage resist stacking is the only real utility hunter has over other classes

[brave canyon]

Well I guess first and foremost do you have pris or are you F2P

[hidden zinc]

Yur

[waxen ibex]

They've left hunter having fairly weak abilities compared to titan or warlock because things like lucky pants have such a huge ceiling and reload dodge buffs a lot of burst setups

[brave canyon]

And you have renegades too ?

[hidden zinc]

Yup

[waxen ibex]

Also every time they give hunter utility it finds a way to ruin pvp

[twin peak]

have we forgotten bolt charge

[brave canyon]

Well general use PvE for each class you’d be using class item or RDM on pris hunter or some variation of a wormgod build on Titan (strand, solar, or pris) weapons don’t really matter on any of those builds. For RAD content DPS you’d be using a nighthawk/lucky pants rotation on hunter with still hunt and uncivil discourse and then Titan you’ll be doing pris cuirass with double rocket pulses

So whichever of those sounds more fun

[waxen ibex]

Titans get dumb cheese too but it usually involves them sitting in corners

Tbh it's kind of hard to argue that anything comes close to warlock in general pve in this sandbox though

Hunter has some specific stuff with a high ceiling and titan has a couple things but warlock does it all and has devour on top of that

Getaway artist is pretty much the best build to ever exist for solo/roam content since the literal nova bomb spam in y2 and well w/ sanguine or lunafaction will never be bad

[hidden zinc]

Rdm? N honestly neither of those sound fun lol

I want ability spam

[waxen ibex]

Hunter class item = ability spam but those abilities aren't gonna be doing a ton

[brave canyon]

Class item on Hunter and wormgod titan are both ability spam

[waxen ibex]

Pris hunter nades are either useless or grapple, pris hunter melee is either combo blow or needle

Hunter dodges just reload guns/refresh melee/radiant

[hidden zinc]

Umm

[waxen ibex]

Biggest thing you get on prismatic hunter is stacking so much dr that you can just walk around like a bot and not die

[hidden zinc]

Hmmm

I honestly dk tbh

If i have wellock on my warlock what would serve me better titan or hunter 1st

[waxen ibex]

Since you can easily access woven mail + amplified + void overshield/solar regen/frost armor all at once

[waxen ibex]

You're genuinely just better off trying both lol

[brave canyon]

You’re going to want to have multiple builds for every class if you want to know what serves you best

[waxen ibex]

You only have to run beyond light and tfs to unlock everything subclass-wise

Tfs can be run really fast by using checkpoint bots as well

[hidden zinc]

Eh, I just want 1 build for now lol

Not enough golf balls

I think im gonna go with hunter

[waxen ibex]

If you're only using well on warlock you're kind of missing out on the strongest thing warlock actually does imo lol

[hidden zinc]

Ill have to farm exotic class item tho right for the build u mentioned ?

[brave canyon]

Ya you’d want HOIL/Cyra

[waxen ibex]

Getting one with at least hoil takes like 30 minutes

Hoil cyrt might take a bit though depending on rng

Idk you can also just use graviton with stylish

It does most of the same shit

[hidden zinc]

I have getaway artist build to but its bot perfect, well lock will be my perfect armor set for rad content

[waxen ibex]

Just not as well

[waxen ibex]

I don't even masterwork armor I think you might be overthinking it a bit

[hidden zinc]

Idk what that means, can u explain? I just did dual destiny yday

[hidden zinc]

Why not

[brave canyon]

That’s the perk combo you want

[waxen ibex]

Throwing away prisms just to boost stats I don't care about anyway

[hidden zinc]

Fair

[brave canyon]

Ya but you want to have something incase you don’t need anymore wells

You really only need 2 at most in a fireteam

[hidden zinc]

That's why I wanna have other classes lol

[brave canyon]

And only 1 person runs boots if the assembler

[waxen ibex]

Unless you're playing lp uncivil hunter, warlock with sanguine or getaway is pretty much the damage ceiling in most content anyway

Before renegades warlock was just objectively the best class unless you were grapple punch exploiting iirc

Bc sanguine op

[hidden zinc]

Whats sanguine do

[waxen ibex]

Free giga damage for standing in any rift or well

[hidden zinc]

How do u get ruft back

[waxen ibex]

Prismatic already does that via fragments and sanguine also extends your rift indefinitely if you're getting kills

Most people would just swap to sanguine during dps anyway

Since sanguine gives x4 surge matching your super element and an extra 1.1x damage buff on top of that

So it'd let you get x4 surge for one element and x3 surge for a different one (very relevant with the rocket pulse elements) and then free damage on top

[hidden zinc]

Hmm

So i should have sanguine, getaway and boots build

Sum1 told me stasis lock is really good

[waxen ibex]

For general roaming content now getaway is busted while still doing very notable damage, stormcaller is really strong, class item/guile slide melee spam is always good

Mataiodoxia good

[hidden zinc]

[waxen ibex]

Bait video

[woven grove]

Yo habe seid 2 Jahren kein destiny mehr gezockt fange jetzt wieder an. Was habe ich verpasst haha

[safe iris]

haha

[waxen ibex]

He ran out of content ideas and started posting stuff like calling revision zero good

Because the average YouTube viewer thinks like this

[safe iris]

tiered weapons, new raids and dungeons

[woven grove]

Okay was mache ich am besten will nicht alleine zocken haha

[hidden zinc]

Boots of assembler good for gm?

Also what stats would I want for sanguine

[brave canyon]

Same as boots stats

And they’re not really that good for GM

[boreal patio]

<@&1019968308973416448>

[static basin]

markmoyer has been banned!

[icy wharf]

[hidden zinc]

What exotic for gm?

[brave canyon]

Getaway prismatic

[fathom crypt]

Hey, been a second since i used it but is Choir of One still alright in gm/Ulti content?

[boreal patio]

yes

[glacial hound]

“im not good enough to use any non meta build in the gm”

[fathom crypt]

ty

[waxen ibex]

The idea that a build can be optimized for -40 but be bad at -50 is such a crazy line of thinking to me

Like I wanna know how these people view the game

[hoary bone]

New to destiny. I want to do the campaigns in order. How do I start shadow keep mission? It just tells me this with nowhere to go.

[tulip oar]

Look for this icon on the Moon map. Should be on the right side

[hoary bone]

Okay thanks.

Do I have to talk with Eris morn or is she blinking for another reason? It is a different icon.

[fathom marten]

You will at some point but for now she's blinking for other reasons

[hoary bone]

Thanks ill stop asking questions for now

[rocky elbow]

So quick question: why did bungie add adept weapons to destiny if they’re useless?

[wispy estuary]

What is the Ideal loadout for Hazardous Propulsion?

[sudden egret]

they were useful before they introduced tier weapons

[rocky elbow]

Oh well, at least they look cool? 🤷🏻

[sudden egret]

they have a unique look, yes

[sudden egret]

@patent dawn

[patent dawn]

[rocky elbow]

The only useable weapon is my hand cannon from kings fall (I can’t spell it lol)

[patent dawn]

https://dim.gg/r5xt7ba/Alpha

[sudden egret]

that's a good one

[rocky elbow]

Here are the rolls :)

[sudden egret]

That looks good

[rocky elbow]

Thank you! 😊

[calm crane]

.i already told u it was good roll😭

[rocky elbow]

Oh my bad! 😣

Sorry!

[untold ferry]

I play on the xbox app on my pc, I've never had this issue before been playing since lightfall. Usually instead of showing the cancel sign it would show the mic symbol

right here it used to show the mic symbol but it doesnt anymore

shows the cancel sign

[calm crane]

Wait

Is that emblem legit

Cuz that was a hard af day one

[high lily]

do you have voice chat turned off

[high lily]

looks like it

holy red dots prior to contest clear

ggs on that clear

[untold ferry]

I always had it off

turned it back on nothing happened

i dont think my mic works

nvm it is working

my mic is working like normal not the cant invite thing

[fathom marten]

Destiny's audio system has been notoriously terrible for pretty much its entire lifetime

[drifting plinth]

yeah

ive had a lot of issues with it trying to output to a device that doesnt exist

[brave canyon]

Me when my entire clean cleared but I had to work

[strong summit]

That exotic axe I saw a while back

Is it F2P or do you need one of the 2 new DLCs?

[drifting plinth]

wolfsbane is f2p

[sudden egret]

Wolfsbane? Is f2p

[drifting plinth]

self snail, respect

[strong summit]

Nice

[sudden egret]

Uncs have no shame

[civic comet]

how do i consistently counter barrier? Im tryna do the legendary lost sectors but idk how to proc anti barrier a lot. Radiant is like only on a super (warlock) and the arbalest does no dmg so i gotta swap back n forth n miss dps

[sudden egret]

use a sniper to stun barriers

[drifting plinth]

^

pref a kt rapid

2 shots

stuns on any difficulty

[civic comet]

wait any sniper stuns?

[drifting plinth]

with the arti mod, yes

as long as it isnt an exotic with intrinsic stun that's not barrier

[fathom marten]

In your character menu, there will be three squares with the champion icons next to your weapons. Hovering over each one will tell you what will stop each champ type. Included in that list is the various first column artifact mods that qualify for the anti-champ stuff. There are also certain exotics that have them by default, such as Unstoppable for Malfeasance, Anti-Barrier for Eriana's Vow, and Overload for Le Monarque.

[civic comet]

ohhhh i see tyyy

[buoyant copper]

What are the must have mods for praxic blades

[high lily]

Forceful 3, balanced, impact core

[buoyant copper]

how do I get those?

[formal ridge]

does anyone know what are some ways to get more bright dust?

[high lily]

impact core and forceful blade are bought in the Cantina, balanced is the default form

oh and the Echoing Blade catalyst is also good

unless you want Hyperblade for movement

[buoyant copper]

Alright thank you

[fathom marten]

Only really one way: doing more orders. While there is no official cap on Bright Dust, it does eventually get less and less per week. Best option is to just throw yourself into Crucible because that has a chance to auto-complete orders.

[fluid egret]

Save for Celestial and Fortune's Favor, what are the better general use damage boosting exotic armors for Solar (subclass) Hunter?

[sudden egret]

these aren't better but some other options are foetracer can get you x4 solar surge and young ahamkaras spine or ophidia spathe have ability spam builds

[fluid egret]

Thank you.

At this point, I am leaning to just not using an exotic outside of Cele lmao

Trying to meet in the middle on performance vs drip is a nightmare.

[woeful crag]

does anyone know Grasp of Avarice well im stuck on the ogre fight

[sudden egret]

Ask away

[woeful crag]

i keep shooting the door with the scorch cannon but it wont let me in

or my friend

[fluid egret]

3 direct hits or 1 shot charged for 2 visual queues

[woeful crag]

one door doesnt open at all the other opens wont let me in then shuts

i fully charged it too

2 fully charged hits?

[fluid egret]

To know if it was a direct hit, you need to see a damage number.

[woeful crag]

i saw it

it says immune then a damg number to teh side

[fluid egret]

Fully charged should only need one.

[woeful crag]

idk man its not working for me

[fluid egret]

You have to open the doors one after the other.

For example, if you open left door, then you need to do the right door the next time you open the door.

[woeful crag]

but how do i do that if it needs a fully charged shot

[fluid egret]

You don't need a fully charged shot. A fully charged shot or 3 uncharged shots.

You shoot the device you learned to shoot in the previous section. You need to be decently "direct" to the circle/orb/opening spot in the middle of it. If you get a damage number, you've done it correctly.

Try standing under it and aiming at it, take your time with aiming.

[woeful crag]

bet

i got the first one open

[fluid egret]

ezpz, same process for them all going forward

[wraith marten]

is there an infographic for what the lost sectors give what?

[brave canyon]

I think it changes daily

[wraith marten]

Right but I'm trying to help my friend get necrotic grips for example but there's no info one which ones gives exotic arms today or etc

[brave canyon]

I’m pretty sure they just drop engrams now don’t they

Idk it should say

[wraith marten]

uuhhhh

[brave canyon]

Check the legend lost sector

[wraith marten]

so like you can run any legend sectors?

[brave canyon]

Well there’s only 1 a day

[wraith marten]

oh

bro I've been away from the game for too long

[brave canyon]

But I don’t think the engram is set to a specific armor type anymore

[wraith marten]

[brave canyon]

Let me try and confirm

I don’t wanna give you bad info

[wraith marten]

where do you even go to look at the lost sector?

the new menus are so confusing now like damn

[high lily]

the world map

each destination has their own active lost sector now

[wraith marten]

oh what so then what did slaughter mean by 1 a day?

[high lily]

no idea

[wraith marten]

and that means any/all of the lost sectors give the same loot?

[high lily]

i believe so

[woeful crag]

just beat him i fucking hate this dungeon

[calm crane]

Grasp is fun

Wdym

[fathom marten]

One per location/destination

[wraith marten]

Ahh oka

[fluid egret]

Good job. I quite like it, personally.

But now it's done :)

Time to go get Gjally.

[sudden egret]

And then the catalyst

[wraith marten]

also what power level does root of nightmares require?

[high lily]

none

only Desert requires a certain power level, being 300

[wraith marten]

oh wow so all the raids except desert don't have a power level?

[high lily]

and Equilibrium i believe (though its a dungeon)

[high lily]

pretty much

[woeful crag]

My god man

Why are we driving in a fps

I cant stand when devs put stupid shit in their game💀

[fluid egret]

Hey, Sparrow Racing was a big deal for many years.

[woeful crag]

well yeah but why make it part of a DUNGEON

puzzles i understand

maybe its just annoying bc of the floatyness

[safe iris]

or maybe its because

[high lily]

fun

[woeful crag]

Git gud

[high lily]

you just hold boost the whole time and win

timing isnt somewhat tight anymore, now that every sparrow is as fast as Always On Time

[woeful crag]

I think the sparrows are cool i just dont see why they included it in dungeons maybe to get more use out of it lol

[safe iris]

wait till you hear about raids that allow sparrows

[high lily]

ngl a raid that has an encounter centered around outrunning something in a sparrow + somehow adding mechanics to that, would be cool

[woeful crag]

oh god

i like that u can use them to traverse

[safe iris]

you mean like renegades campaign

[high lily]

yea something like that

[woeful crag]

im still on grasp of avarice smh

how do i get past the man canon part

[safe iris]

go to servitor

deposit engrams into crystal

[woeful crag]

i keep shooting the engine it lights up but wont launch me

[safe iris]

until pop

[woeful crag]

im not able to get onto the lil island

[safe iris]

and then launch dead servitor into bomb on side of big thing in middle

[safe iris]

[woeful crag]

[safe iris]

[high lily]

❌

but i doubt

[safe iris]

noted

[fathom marten]

You can buy one every weekend from Friday 1700 UTC to Tuesday 1700 UTC for 97 Strange Coins from Xur. He will appear in the Tower in a corner near Ikora. Check for his icon on the map and select it as a location to give a marker pointing to him.

[tawdry sequoia]

It's the symbol of XI

With a green banner

[cedar hatch]

i expected to see this end with a "terms and conditions may apply"

Psi Aeterna would be more than enough ngl

[woeful crag]

Someone told me basic Vanguard Playlist is best farm for t5 forepotent armor is this true @high lily

[woeful crag]

is ferropotent better than wild anthem?

[high lily]

no

[high lily]

very much so for pve

[hidden zinc]

Whats best tierb5 forepotent armor farm

[tawdry sequoia]

Zavalla

2 per week

[hidden zinc]

What spikes do I want for starfire build

[tawdry sequoia]

Grenade

[hidden zinc]

I said farm lol

[high lily]

whatever portal op has it as the bonus focus

[boreal patio]

be 450 also if ur not

[hidden zinc]

How do I check that

[high lily]

you just open either solo/fireteam/arena ops and if you see an armor piece listed as a bonus focus, farm that

[hidden zinc]

How do I get specifically forepotent tho n do i do that for whatever body piece I need or just any armor focused mission

[woeful crag]

were running fireteam ops i just got a feropotent chest

[covert herald]

That’s hardly a farm

[main pulsar]

Yes

By far

[high lily]

solo/fireteam/arena ops

[oblique tree]

Just got my hands on a praxic blade, any build recommendations? Also do i need to finish the campaign to start getting the mods and upgrades for the lightsaber???

[high lily]

just equip it to any good build
and yes, a bunch of the upgrades require leveling up each faction

[woeful crag]

is it worth to wait for the update before getting any new exotics?

i want the wolfsbane it looks cool af

[hidden zinc]

What spikes do i want for starfire build, grenade, class amd weapons?

@high lily

[oblique tree]

Does anyone know what a "faction unit modifier" is?

[high lily]

gunner with super tertiary

[high lily]

tiered exotics is only for armor

[high lily]

says in the subtext of the modifier

[hidden zinc]

Why super n not class

[high lily]

grenade kills give class

[hidden zinc]

Yea but ur not gonna be using grenade that much to be able to spam it

N like od rather have rift ready

[high lily]

its starfire though, the whole point is to use your grenades

[hidden zinc]

I know but with the nerf and in hard content they won't be as effective

[high lily]

radiant counts as "empowered weapon damage"

[hidden zinc]

Hiw can u easily get radiant

[boreal patio]

melee

[hidden zinc]

So i should spec into melee aswell

How can I get melee

[jaunty whale]

heat rises, ember of searing

[jaunty whale]

?? then why use starfire in the first place

if you don't trust your fusion grenades to do the job

[hidden zinc]

Variety

[hidden zinc]

But i won't be using heat rises ill be using icarus and helion

Also if I delete exotic ships and sparrows can I get em back?

[jaunty whale]

ye you can pull them out of collections

[jaunty whale]

just giving you an option, icarus is not a must, people just like it because of mobility

wait nevermind

i forgot grenade enhances hellion now

so you want touch of flame and hellion

in that case you are going to need ember of searing for melee uptime

add ember of empyrean for extending radiant where possible

[hidden zinc]

What does touch of flame do for you

For helion

[jaunty whale]

enhances fusion grenades

[hidden zinc]

What does that do for helion n will that reliably get me melee

[jaunty whale]

if you just want hellion, why are you considering starfire protocol..

[hidden zinc]

I dont im just curious how it effects it since u mentioned it

[jaunty whale]

touch of flame does not do anything for hellion

it's for the fusion grenades

which you ARE using because you are building with starfire protocol

[hidden zinc]

Majes sense, i feel like we git of topic lol so shall I spec i to melee stat at all?

Bcz I want to reliable be able to activate radiant

[jaunty whale]

what super will you be using

[hidden zinc]

Well

[jaunty whale]

then you should have some spare points for melee since you're not gonna need more than 100 super

like 40 or 50 should be enough. even lower maybe

[hidden zinc]

Oki

Grenade weapon super n grenade weapon class are the 2 sets im aiming for, ill habe to work a grenade weapon melee in there somewhere

[jaunty whale]

don't need class

[small sentinel]

Was the fragment affect recently added to gunpowder gamble, or has it always been a thing? I rarely ever used hunter, so i’m uncertain, but I’ve been around since red war, and I don’t remember gunpowder having that affect.

[jaunty whale]

a grenade kill immediately resets your rift

and hellion lasts like 20s or something so you shouldn't need to recast it THAT often

[hidden zinc]

1 made kill resets it?

That's crazy

[jaunty whale]

ye

[hidden zinc]

So i want grenade weapons melee m the rest in super?

So i can have radiant often

[jaunty whale]

grenade weapons super first, then a bit of melee (maybe need to experiment to see how much you are comfortable with in terms of keeping radiant uptime)

since you have no heat rises melee uptime will be a bit of a bother truthfully

also with no heat rises you are going to have a hard time surviving

[hidden zinc]

For sanguine im assuming its grenade class weapons right

Since rift won't charge that fast

[jaunty whale]

sanguine is a dps loadout so you want weapons super grenade

since usually you are dpsing in a well

[hidden zinc]

But super won't really be spammed

[jaunty whale]

on sanguine you want your well as much as possible

[hidden zinc]

And having more rift will be more beneficial no

[jaunty whale]

but also sanguine is best played as a swap loadout

meaning you use another loadout until you reach a boss dps phase then swap to sanguine

[hidden zinc]

Hmmm

Ok thankyou for the info, gonna work on getting the 2 sets i need n a few grenade weapon melee pieces

[small sentinel]

What are playlists? Trying to get the bad juju catalyst.

Nvm, literally said it under vanguard. Im blind.

[fathom marten]

Any portal activity or exotic order payout

[small sentinel]

Even solo ops?

[fathom marten]

Any

It’s just rng so good luck!

[rocky elbow]

Chat, good roll? :)

[little pewter]

#💎shard-it-keep-it would know best but im pretty sure thats... solid.

No need to settle for solid though since the new update will likely make that gun far better

[grim totem]

what is conquest?

[fathom marten]

Open portal > find Conquests in the top right. They’re what replaced Grandmaster Nightfalls

[rocky elbow]

Thank you :)

[iron coral]

Is heal clip actually good? I really want a redirection roll on the Zavala Returned Memory but everyone and their mother talks about heal clip like it cures cancer.

[drifting plinth]

it's impromptu+incandescent

[iron coral]

?

[drifting plinth]

heal clip not useful on good build

[high lily]

his 1st roll is best

[sudden egret]

it's useful when you are on a build that doesn't have healing (which aren't many right now). There's impromptu + redirection/incan so you get to try both

[high lily]

Impromptu + incan

[grim totem]

ty

[iron coral]

Lol, I wasn't asking whats considered the best roll. Just if heal clip is actually worth how much people talk about it. But thanks!

[true lintel]

My nickname for this guy is "Incident Report". What do you guys think about my setup here? Void/Contraverse Warlock main

[obsidian berry]

Can you get Cloudstrike from Portal Empire Hunts or no?

Well I guess this isn't labeled as an "Empire Hunt: The Technocrat" so I'm assuming no

[sudden egret]

no

[obsidian berry]

Yeaaah that tracks

I'll have to go back for that one day still

[little pewter]

ragnhild unfortunately suffers from being bad

and wont do you much good here

[true lintel]

Bad meaning... what exactly? I have a blast with it

[little pewter]

in every single aspect it does good something does better

it doesnt have very good stats, the frame is undesireable for pve, and it doesnt have any specific perks to write home about.

it unfortunately falls flat on all fronts.

[true lintel]

Interesting... didn't know my most effective shotgun is considered useless 🫠

[little pewter]

well, on the upside, the bar for "better" is so low you will find it extremely easy to find an upgrade.

[high lily]

anything works in low end content, if you enjoy it sure, but dont expect it to perform in -30 difficulty

[little pewter]

be it a different shotgun or a different weapon entirely.

[true lintel]

I get a lot of mileage out of it in Nightfalls, even harder ones (though I haven't done -30 yet because no friends)

It's my second most used special weapon too

[little pewter]

nightfalls are generally extremely easy and are not a good bar for checking if a build is good or bad

master is the level where you cant use just about anything anymore

[true lintel]

Not even GMs?

[drifting plinth]

gm nightfalls dont exist anymore

[little pewter]

GMs are where you'd need better gear, but even before we got a massive boost in effective performance, GMs had gotten stale and trivial with good gear

ah

[true lintel]

I guess I still haven't gotten with the times lol

[little pewter]

something for you to do at your own pace

its not going anywhere, take your time with it to ease yourself into it

[drifting plinth]

yeah, gms had become trivial with shit like consec titan

[true lintel]

Oh, I'm not worried about it on that level. If I had friends I'd play the harder stuff without matchmaking. Until then I just kinda go into the Portal

[drifting plinth]

;stats

btw

[solar jasper]

Stats
Shown on the character screen, stats affect the following:
• Weapons - 0-100: improved weapon handling/reload speed and damage against Minor and Elite combatants. 101-200: increases chance for ammo bricks to contain more ammo and increases damage against Minibosses and Bosses.
• Health - 0-100: grants health on orb pickup and improves flinch resist. 101-200: shield regen starts faster and takes less time to recharge and inceases shield HP for PVE.
• Class - 0-100: improved class ability regeneration speed and increased gains from external or scalar sources. 101-200: grants an overshield on class ability cast.
• Grenade - 0-100: improved grenade regeneration speed and increased gains from external or scalar sources. 101-200: increases grenade damage.
• Super - 0-100: improved super gains for damaging targets and increased gains from external or scalar sources. 101-200: increases super damage (well of radiance and ward of dawn have increased duration instead)
• Melee - 0-100: improved melee regeneration speed and increased gains from external or scalar sources. 101-200: increases powered/unpowered/glaive melee damage.

[little pewter]

people who do harder content seldom do it with friends, nor matchmaking

[true lintel]

I'll look for some later when I have more time to myself to play. Thanks!

[drifting plinth]

it's also not very hard to solo it with a good build

lol

[true lintel]

I remember I used to use this shotgun in GMs and it was always funny to my fireteam at the time because it was so unusual. My shotgun wasn't as thoughtfully put together as it is now though so I'm actually wondering how well it would function in current endgame stuff

There's no doubt that there's better shotguns though, but I like my baby the most of them all so far

I was asking mostly because I was just curious about what the reaction would be to seeing the setup

[little pewter]

you're yet to show the full setup so its difficult to validate

but the shotgun alone does bring it down a few notches.

[true lintel]

How would I show the full setup?

Is there a button to show the entire loadout?

[drifting plinth]

http://app.destinyitemmanager.com/

[true lintel]

I don't believe I've used that before

[drifting plinth]

very useful

[true lintel]

If it would load, lol

Probably my vpn

Oh, here we go. Lemme figure out how to send it

https://dim.gg/sbfiabi/Equipped

[little pewter]

i shall be blunt, but what to change or if you even should change at all is something you do on your terms, this is advice and feedback, not demands.

Your guns are bad.

some of the armor mods youre using are solid, but most are not good

[true lintel]

What makes my guns bad? And what would you say I should consider using? Might learn something

[little pewter]

as is the case for all of your guns: They have a bad archetype and a bad perk pool, im assuming your guns have a godroll and as optimal as possible, even then, not good.

they fail on just about every front to varying degrees.

[true lintel]

That's not really telling me much about what specifically makes them bad. Is it just the archetype? I don't get it

[little pewter]

theres not something "specifically" that makes them bad, they are bad in just about every way

they do not clear adds very well and they do not do single target dps well

[true lintel]

Under what context? I find they handle adds quite well. Are you only talking about -30? In which case I have no frame of reference there

[drifting plinth]

content above like -15

[little pewter]

under context where viability matters ever

[terse jacinth]

what weapons r worth farming from edge of fate

[little pewter]

you're mostly doing low to mid end content

where viability does not matter

[true lintel]

What rank would that be then? Just anything above Normal?

[drifting plinth]

i think it goes normal 0 advanced 10 master 20 grandmaster 25 ultimate 30

[true lintel]

So if I were to do anything above -15, what would you recommend?

[little pewter]

mint retrograde or PSI aeterna is the first thing that comes to mind

special ammo pulse rifles, high damage output

[true lintel]

Those are pretty fun to use. I have a few for my Arc loadout but I don't really use them much

[little pewter]

they fortunately dont really need the elemental synergy, as is with most guns

[brave canyon]

Any particular reason you’re running weapons mods on a contra build ? Or even running contra anymore since chunk nerf?

[little pewter]

contra's p solid, keep that

[brave canyon]

Contra over NM now tho?

[little pewter]

i take it youre focusing on grenade

[brave canyon]

Feel like you’d just be better off going with NM for ad clear

[true lintel]

I just like blasting stuff with the grenades. Always been aware of the nerfs but never cared. I still use Geomags from time to time lol

[brave canyon]

You’ll blast a lot more with grenades with NM

[true lintel]

It isn't a hard focus but yes, I am

[true lintel]

What's NM?

[little pewter]

its something you should have as a hard focus on your armor if youre going for that build

[brave canyon]

Nothing manacles

[brave canyon]

Should be 200

[true lintel]

Oh, I forgot what that one does

[brave canyon]

Nothing else really matters

You should have 5 grenadier pieces

[true lintel]

I don't have the greatest luck lol but I'll keep an eye out for them

[brave canyon]

Just keep grinding

You’ll get them

[true lintel]

I noticed they reworked the stats too. Are there any stats that are bad or otherwise not worth it? Or are they all fairly viable?

[brave canyon]

Health in pve is useless

No reason to have any of it at all

[true lintel]

Kinda figured tbh

[brave canyon]

Weapons in pve are great on some builds others (like yours) not necessary

Class doesn’t really need to go above 70-100 in any scenario

[true lintel]

My class stat is fairly low isn't it. Then again I rarely use rifts

[brave canyon]

Super never need to go above 100 on running loadout 150 on damage loadout

[true lintel]

I never liked Spiderman, much less when he's running a scam

[brave canyon]

[drifting plinth]

<@&1019968308973416448>

[brave canyon]

For warlock anything void you’re always gonna go 200 grenade

Prismatic I run 130 nade 195 weapons on getaway

[static basin]

randis_son has been banned!

[brave canyon]

Always going 200 weapons on your well builds (boots of the assembler/sanguine)

[true lintel]

I see. I changed my mods to go for grenade stat. Looking back on it I'm not sure why I didn't do that to start with lol

[brave canyon]

Rn really all you need on lock is a getaway build

[true lintel]

A what?

[brave canyon]

Getaway artist

It’s like

Been the most busted build in the history of Destiny

And made it through 3 expansions without getting nerfed

It’s actually only gotten buffed lol

[true lintel]

What does it do?

Oh snap, I already have a bunch of Grenadier armors

When did I get these? Lmao

[brave canyon]

The buddy build

[true lintel]

... What?

[shadow venture]

You summon little orbs (buddies) that follow you to fuck shit up

they auto attack things and can inflict status effects depending on the buddy

[true lintel]

That actually sounds pretty cool

[brave canyon]

I’ll try to find you a YouTube video

[shadow venture]

It’s definitely fun for a minute

[true lintel]

Okay, my setup looks a lot better now. Still 6 shy of 200 but it'll do

[shadow venture]

You could use a Grenade Font to boost yourself if you’re that close, Orbs of Power shouldn’t be too difficult

[true lintel]

Oh yeah, I'm running fonts, orbs, all that

I like making orbs and ammo for my fireteam. Everyone needs it

I just need grenadier boots and I can swap the fonts for something else. Thankfully shooting bad guys is my favorite pass time in Destiny so I've got no issues with that. Have 797 strike completions on my emblem

I'm hoping to get it to 1000 soon. Not for any real reason, I just like doing it

Anyway, I appreciate your input guys. I'm tempted to see just how bad my guns really are once I get to a place with more stable internet

[main pulsar]

Most things outside of double rocket pulse and a select few other weapons are basically useless

Sadly

[true lintel]

I always did love Destiny metas

Come to think of it, that's generally why I don't really play the super hard content (whatever the equivalent of GM's are these days.) I don't like being told what to use, how and when

[main pulsar]

It's always been like that for the most part though tbf

[true lintel]

I know, that's why I very rarely ran GM's even when I had the teams for it. I much prefer raids in that context because there's usually a little more wiggle room on account of 6 people being present and the activities distract me from the fact that I'm using what everyone else is

[drifting plinth]

i mean, there's plenty of fun creative builds you can make for gm content

[true lintel]

I might sound like an unc but I still remember DSC dual slugs

[drifting plinth]

the general build you have is good, just that lmg is one of the worse ones released in past year

[true lintel]

What's bad about it? It's the archetype, I think that was mentioned?

[drifting plinth]

worst archetype in game, shit origin, bad perks

actually the perks are fine now that i checked, field prep+destab actually doesnt look too bad

js bad archetype and useless origin

[little pewter]

what constitutes a good gun is typically:
Is it a good archetype
Is/are the godroll(s) good

if something is bad, its almost always because it fails in one or both of these things.

[drifting plinth]

on this gun it's more so archetype

[true lintel]

Sounds a little boring following a script like that but I guess I can understand why

[drifting plinth]

and also both origins just suck ass

[true lintel]

Yeah, even I can't really excuse the origins. Garbage lol

[little pewter]

well thats just how it is. What makes a gun good is unfortunately very simple and straightforward

and thus, what makes a gun bad is straightforward

[drifting plinth]

you should try vault of glass machine gun if you can get that

one of the better ones in the game, goated origin, feels good to shoot

[true lintel]

I have a couple, they're nice. I think I have one with Rewind and Vorpal

[drifting plinth]

bad roll

[little pewter]

Vorpal makes it stronger against bosses

and corrective measure is a machine gun

so a bad fit

[true lintel]

MG's never have been good against bosses huh

[drifting plinth]

id recommend destab+killing tally

very fun to explode things

[little pewter]

they're very intentionally tailored towards add clearing

and... we have had brief blips in the meta where MGs have been serviceable for boss dps

[true lintel]

Any gun with Destab is almost certainly going to be one I like

[drifting plinth]

id recommend choir of one then

auto rifle that takes special ammo

but ammo econ so good it's basically a primary with actually good damage

yes, it's hard meta but it's really fun to use at least for some time

[true lintel]

If it's at least fun then I don't really care if it's meta or not. I just don't choose guns based off of "is it the best right now?" Feels like a waste of time

I actually intentionally roll bad guns to see if there's a possibility for something interesting to come out of it. It's a mixed bag

[drifting plinth]

you could look their perk tables up on dim and see if there's anything you might like

another thing is, cause youve got a build that doesnt actually even really need guns at all, you can go with an eager edge sword in your heavy slot for the movement

[little pewter]

fun's relative, only thing that remains "true" for everyone is "is the gun good"

so we cant really consistently recommend anything other than that.

[true lintel]

My metric is different. "Is it fun?" Then its good. You'll never guess what my most used Primary is

[little pewter]

you misunderstand, i dont mean good in the relative, subjective way

i mean in the "does it perform well" way

something less subjective

[true lintel]

I'm not misunderstanding you at all. I'm saying exactly what I mean.

I don't care how good a gun is or isn't. If I don't like using it, I don't.

[little pewter]

Then i misinterpreted.

[true lintel]

I will say that I'm not silly enough to take just any weapon into any activity. Sometimes you have to use tools you don't vibe with much to get the job done

Dual Slug, Symmetry (is that what the solar exotic scout is called?) Almost anything else like that... especially swords and glaives. Even at the height of Falling Guillotine, I still heavily disliked using it.

[little pewter]

arc exotic scout but yes

[drifting plinth]

i personally hate the pvp meta

[drifting plinth]

or you might be talking about polaris lance

depends on the season

[little pewter]

other than falling guillotine, all weapons that have never really been good

[true lintel]

Yes, that one. Polaris Lance. I find it exceptionally boring to use

[little pewter]

ah well that one was just

meh

in its prime that is

[drifting plinth]

it was boring yeah

that one i agree on

boring as fuuuuuuuck

[little pewter]

the fact it was paired with dawn chorus often should tell you enough-

it was less "good" and more "safe"

[drifting plinth]

dawn chorus isnt even fun to use lol

[little pewter]

people thought dawn chorus was good is the point

which was a misunderstanding, as dawn chorus is down there as the worst exotics we have

[true lintel]

I don't really know what it is outside of seemingly always dying to handcannons in two hits and SMGs challenging me at AR range and not just winning but dominating me. Seems lopsided but then again, I've never been known to like Crucible anyway. I just play it when I'm really THAT bored.

[drifting plinth]

i hate adagio(120 hc 2 tap perk) and pulses

[true lintel]

Sounds terrible

[drifting plinth]

i myself do use a 120 but dont have adagio on it

perk in slot 3 sucks

slot 4 just gives me a little bonus dmg for hitting headshots

[true lintel]

I don't trust myself with HCs so I often just stick to ARs and sidearms

[drifting plinth]

helps 3 tap though overshields

[drifting plinth]

i only use hcs, they're funnily enough one of the few weps i can hit shots consistently with

my main weapon is techincally a sidearm

[true lintel]

I respect that tbh

[drifting plinth]

but it's final warning

i dont use adagio out of principle

also just feels bad to use

dont like changing my firerate

[true lintel]

My favorite sidearm is a full auto Seventh Seraph SI2

Damn thing is ancient enough to still feature full auto as a perk but it still slaps people in the face lol

Threat Detector and Snapshot with Range. Gets the job done in case someone runs up

I don't like having to worry about other ammo types so I just run dual primary and Shadowshot because screw dealing with other supers

[woeful crag]

does melee stat increase sword damage or would it be weapons since its a heaby weapon

[true lintel]

... Good question. I'd imagine weapon but idk

[woeful crag]

could it be both?

maybe weapon bc it would give ammo regen which is good

[true lintel]

I don't use swords so I couldn't tell you

The last sword I got that I actually kept was... [flips a few pages] Dreadfang. Damn!

[woeful crag]

whats better on a pulse kill clip or rolling storm?

[drifting plinth]

kill lcip by far

[drifting plinth]

it's weapon

[woeful crag]

i just looked it up where do u get that it looks sick

[drifting plinth]

(rolling storm is top 5 worst perks that have been put on guns in 2-3 years)

[true lintel]

It's from Destiny 1, way back in the day from The Taken King. No idea if you can get it in D2

[drifting plinth]

cannot i believe

[true lintel]

Yeah, it's a shame

[drifting plinth]

yup, doesnt exist in d2

just checked

d2 does have some really cool looking swords of its own

[true lintel]

I got the whole Taken set and emote as a kid. Was a hellacious grind but totally worth it

Oh yeah, many of the swords do in fact look cool (I'm a fan of the Queen's Guard ones myself) but, a sword is a sword. Infuse or dismantle only if it drops for me

[woeful crag]

does wormgod grant damage to the melee ability as well not just the basic melee?

[woeful crag]

sadge

[true lintel]

https://dim.gg/2ckrjsq/Equipped

[drifting plinth]

i hope that is a pvp build

[true lintel]

Whenever I do play Crucible (not very often) this is what I usually go in with

It's a Hunter, of course it is lol

[drifting plinth]

take off echo of remnants

it does literally nothing for you

scatter nade is not in the list of nades it affects

[true lintel]

Oh, I haven't looked at that in a while, the class artifact things. What do you think I should run?

[drifting plinth]

id replace remnants with starvation

[main pulsar]

Best mode oat

[drifting plinth]

i dont play void hunter, it aint fun

[true lintel]

Not in a million years, this shit sucks 90% of the time

[drifting plinth]

in part cause everyone uses it

[true lintel]

I only use it to deny supers, not much else

[drifting plinth]

also no movement

[drifting plinth]

eh

i use solarlock for the movement

[main pulsar]

?

[drifting plinth]

or strand titan

or stasis titan

if you read up on what final warning does, you will hate me

[true lintel]

You said Crucible is the best mode. I couldn't disagree more

[main pulsar]

Ah

It is

[true lintel]

But, the rewards are occasionally not shitty so I play it

[drifting plinth]

it's the only mode i play

[drifting plinth]

you gotta get high power then you get good loot for existing lol

[woeful crag]

is strand titan good

for pve

[true lintel]

Might be worth my time then lol

[drifting plinth]

im playing pvp

but yes

[woeful crag]

do u have any links to melee or sword strand builds? im trying to unlock and try all the subclasses

[drifting plinth]

i dont play strand titan in pve

[true lintel]

What do you guys think about my pulse rifle?

[drifting plinth]

aint a very good gun

still a pulse though

so ew

[true lintel]

Ya'll don't like anything I use lol

[drifting plinth]

qua vinctus is fine

it's got good perks

shit frame

but good perks at elast

[true lintel]

I don't use it, it's just there to inflate my light level

https://dim.gg/siqgcuy/Equipped

[drifting plinth]

on this build remnants does help

390 pulses are mid but they're respectable somewhat unless you use a certain one

[true lintel]

That being?

[drifting plinth]

last thursday

with elemental honing and high weapons for two burst .6 ttk

[true lintel]

I think I've been shot by that before

I have a weird attachment to crafted weapons, especially since this pulse was the first I ever made, so I kept it and continue to shoot people with it

[main pulsar]

Bro that shit with high weapons is the best gun bro😭

[drifting plinth]

ik it's op

im saying respectable as in not meta slave bitch

[woeful crag]

does wormgod increase sword damg

[main pulsar]

Idk

[drifting plinth]

no

only thing that increase sword dmg are weapon buffs and banner of war

[woeful crag]

would probably be op if it did tbh

[woeful crag]

like some shotguns right

[obsidian berry]

Is there any way to get these exotics without ciphers? Are there any really high priority ones from recent times? I'm missing every post-Witch Queen exotic on Titan and Warlock as well, priority recommendations appreciated on those too

[drifting plinth]

there is no shotgunt hat can increase sword dmg

[obsidian berry]

I assumed random drops could give me these but I haven't gotten them ONCE that way yet

All Xur and quest rewards

[drifting plinth]

get speedloaders, radiant dance machines, gifted conviciton

you have the rest of the useful ones

[obsidian berry]

I remember when Star-Eater Scales and Renewal Grasps were really big wishlist exotics

Star-Eater Scales showcases were so silly

[sudden egret]

only the top row come from the random drops

[woeful crag]

im thinking melee mb

[drifting plinth]

those do exist

[woeful crag]

what weapons increase it

[obsidian berry]

Final Shape and later exotics can't come from random drops?

[drifting plinth]

swords get buffed by any buff that affects weapons

[obsidian berry]

Is there a reason why?

[sudden egret]

not untill you unlock them

[woeful crag]

hmm what buffs do ppl typically stack

[sudden egret]

bungo wants you to grind

[drifting plinth]

most people if doing a sword build just use weapon stat

cause dont need buff that much

either that or they use fortune's favor on hunter for 20% weapon buff when having an overshield

[obsidian berry]

How do you grind to get them if they can't randomly drop though 😭

I get taking away dupe protection but I don't even know how to get them without exotic ciphers (limited) or Xur (timegated). There's gotta be more than those two ways, right? Especially for all 3 classes.

[drifting plinth]

and for titans there's banner of war

[drifting plinth]

there are not

you only need to buy it that way once anyways

[sudden egret]

earn exotic ciphers

[obsidian berry]

Yeah ik it unlocks in collections

I'm just kinda surprised they made it THAT slow

[sudden egret]

used to be rng from expert lost sectors

this is a better system now

[obsidian berry]

That's a lot of Lost Sector exotics lmao

That's really weird to me, but ah well

[sudden egret]

yep, that's why people didn't like the rng

now you can just focus for the exotic you want

[true lintel]

Oh nice, just got a sick PvE 5* Riptide

Sometimes Crucible actually drops me stuff worth getting shot at for

[obsidian berry]

If the alternative is exclusively Lost Sectors yeah this is definitely better

I'm used to things just being added to world drop pools on expansion release

Didn't realize that changed

[sudden egret]

there's a few you can get from legendary campaigns

[obsidian berry]

That's how I've gotten the hunter pants in the bottom row

Not sure what others can drop from those campaigns but probably gonna plug away at all of them on all 3 characters anyway

I take it that this is not nearly a stand-in for Twilight Garrison

[true lintel]

What do you guys think of the Monody-44? I keep trying to get a 5* version to drop but I simply can't do it. I get nothing but 3 and 4's

[drifting plinth]

monody is good for pvp

[tawdry sequoia]

What power lvl are u

[true lintel]

I don't use specials in PvP

[tawdry sequoia]

U must be 500 and up to get t5s

[drifting plinth]

450

not 500

[tawdry sequoia]

They made the bar lower crazy

[true lintel]

No way, I have a bunch of other T5's. I just can't get the Monody to drop as one specifically

[drifting plinth]

never did

was always 450

[tawdry sequoia]

Hm

[true lintel]

It's my most favorite fusion rifle in the game besides my (really old) Adept Loaded Question, especially since it's Void. I just want one as a T5

I also want it to drop with Liquid Coils too. Is there a way to focus these things or just hope they drop during activities?

My current one has Projection Fuse which really like but I feel as though Liquid Coils would probably serve me better.

[main pulsar]

Random drop or use ciphers

Would anyone like to run a KF? Idc if you are good or not I'll teach

[woeful crag]

do i need a strong build?

[main pulsar]

No but you're gonna have to give me a bit because I'm doing a trip ron

[woeful crag]

bet lmk

[terse jacinth]

do i have to do edge of fate to do renegades

[sudden egret]

no, only if you want to do things in order

[terse jacinth]

is there any point to doing edge of fate ik like with final shape u get prismatic

[fathom marten]

Only if you want Graviton Spike or any of the armor/weapons from there. Otherwise, it doesn't give you anything like a subclass, but neither does Renegades

[terse jacinth]

i js want the lightsaber

and i wanna farm for the star wars weapons

[sudden egret]

Then you can start with renegades if you want that loot

[boreal ore]

How much melee stat does one melee font give?

[fathom marten]

+20

Goes for all fonts

1 = 20, 2 = 40, 3 = 50

[boreal ore]

Thank you!

[true lintel]

Maybe it's because I'm old school but I don't really vibe with any of the Dark classes.

[boreal patio]

erm its light and dark 🤓

[true lintel]

My tastes have stayed the same for years. Voidlock, Solar Titan (although I almost never actually play Titan) and Void Hunter

[true lintel]

I wasn't impressed by Prismatic either

Almost everything I like about Warlock is in the Void class. I would effectively be playing Voidlock by a different name lol

Chaos Reach will always be peak Dragon Ball fantasy to me though. That super never gets old. And yes, I still use Geomags

[subtle dock]

im using a prismatic getaway artist warlock build, is their a specific exotic weapon i should be using?

[subtle dock]

here is what i have rn, idk if any of these work or if something is better that i can get

[hybrid eagle]

where's the best place find a per-order copy final shape?

[twin peak]

not really

getaways does the job for you

[jaunty whale]

Doesnt really need any specific exotic weapon

If you want to use one, generally choir of one is the best choice. Unless you are going for boss dps

[subtle dock]

i mean i feel like the build can hold up against ad clear so probably would lean towards boss damage, im not sure if im right abt the ad clear (havent used yet and have to get a fragment)

actually now that i remember someone said i could use sunshot from my inventory

[jaunty whale]

Getaway generally takes care of the small adds yes

So you need something for the tougher adds (minibosses)

[twin peak]

it suffices for general ad clear

however you handle ad clear from buddies

and just looking in their general direction

[true lintel]

Anyone have any suggestions for my Crucible setup?

https://app.destinyitemmanager.com/4611686018455551732/d2/loadouts

[subtle dock]

but if i go towards boss damage i could consider like the parasite, two tailed fox, darci. Or maybe things like fighting lion, le monareque, osteo striga, etc (this is just what I THINK is good)

[jaunty whale]

Er use the share button on the loadout and not actually copying the link in the browser

[olive river]

Hey, what do you guys think is the best heavy weapon for renegades invasions? (double cross and normal)? Im looking for something that can deal with behemoths and extremely easy kill guardians so long as fired near em.

[true lintel]

Oh, whoops lol

[twin peak]

parasite is the only good out of all of that

[subtle dock]

would you say the builds strongsuit is more towards ad clear

[true lintel]

https://dim.gg/se6rkea/Equipped

I'm not looking for any specific advice, just want your thoughts

[subtle dock]

i thought darci was good no? or two tailed fox?

[jaunty whale]

Yeah getaway is the most braindead effective ad clear

[jaunty whale]

Nope

[subtle dock]

were there nerfs cause i remember it being good like a year or so ago, thats when i last played and im returning

[jaunty whale]

The strength of getaway is being braindead effective add clear so you can concentrate your attention on something else

[jaunty whale]

2 tailed fox was only strong for a short time when jolt scaled damage according to damage source

Darci wasnt really ever strong lol

[twin peak]

it’s the gjally of snipers

[jaunty whale]

There are niche dps strats before involving snipers using it but they never became mainstream

[subtle dock]

is arbalest still good? or just fusion rifles in general or is parasite my best bet

[twin peak]

two tailed and domineering/command had something going as dmg

it was still bad tho

[twin peak]

parasite

[jaunty whale]

Still does its job but way outdated now

Parasite is still viable yeah but keep in mind its a short to low medium range boss dps option

[subtle dock]

is there something i should aim for possibly that wont take forever like an rng raid drop or something

[jaunty whale]

Choir of one tbh if you have final shape

[subtle dock]

what if i cant shoot far enough for the boss?

[true lintel]

I still believe in Arby tbh. I should bring it along for Nightfalls

[subtle dock]

i have it, how you get it
