[tawdry sequoia]

Has

[true lintel]

But even when I can see it in the portal, the darned thing almost never drops and always as T4

[tawdry sequoia]

What's ur power

Are u above 450

[true lintel]

I'm 417

It's weird because so many other weapons I've gotten to drop as T5 but the ONE fusion rifle I want still eludes me

[tawdry sequoia]

Hm

[true lintel]

I will say that I'm really liking my Riptide though. I don't usually use Rapid fusions but I love this one with Cornered and Controlled Burst

[drifting plinth]

try overflow+controlled

[true lintel]

Oooh

Mine doesn't have that perk as a selection but if I get another T5 Riptide I'll look for it

The main thing I like about this one is that it has Liquid Coils

My Monody 44 is setup in a way I like, including Range and Projection Fuse. Thing's a monster at ranges it shouldn't be

I wish it had LC though for that sweet 100 Impact, but 95 is more than enough anyway

[tawdry sequoia]

Hm

[small sentinel]

Im seeing a lot of people referring sanguine builds, what element is prioritized? And if prismatic is available, which would be considered better, that element or prismatic warlock?

[brave canyon]

Sanguine goes off your super

[safe iris]

prismatic and whatever weapons you're doing dps with

[small sentinel]

Then I’m good

[safe iris]

if you're forced on well then well yk... solar super and solar weapon

[brave canyon]

Sanguine is used in 2 circumstances. If you are second well (and already have a boots of the assembler warlock) sanguine is pretty much the go to option at that point. On my prismatic getaway build, I have sanguine on the DPS swap.

[small sentinel]

I forgot you could save builds. God, that must be handy.

[cedar hatch]

whats a good website for top builds?

[turbid sorrel]

#📘pve-playbook

[brave canyon]

I’d just go on YouTube and watch content creators that are like high end RAD players

People with solid placement in day 1’s and shit

[drifting plinth]

literally what cwispy said

cause all websites suck in some way

[brave canyon]

Pretty much a necessity at this point in RAD content

[turbid sorrel]

YT content creators literally have no form of content rn so theyre recommending mid builds

[cedar hatch]

whats RAD slaughter

[brave canyon]

Raid and dungeon

[cedar hatch]

raid?

oh ok

ig ill just focus on aegis videos then ty

[drifting plinth]

those are the only good ones

[brave canyon]

Yes that’s exactly the type of player you should be watching

[drifting plinth]

very nearly

[cedar hatch]

i only watch him, llama, and mactics

[brave canyon]

Not morons like plunder the booty and profane gaming and all these bimbos that have never had a placement in their life

[brave canyon]

All 3 solid

You’re in the right spot already then keep watching guys like that

[cedar hatch]

never trusted em, too clickbaity

[drifting plinth]

and ESPECIALLY not truds

[safe iris]

i wouldn't watch mactics

[cedar hatch]

oh god

[safe iris]

[drifting plinth]

ive seen mactics having a few mid builds

[cedar hatch]

might i ask why?

[safe iris]

every yt short i watch of him its always slop

[drifting plinth]

^

[cedar hatch]

he is also known as yaptics for a reason

[brave canyon]

Mactics constantly has high placement and knows his shit

[drifting plinth]

shorts are a bit clickbaity

wouldnt recommend to a new player

[cedar hatch]

hes....mildly entertaining but i only watch long form videos as im taking a extended break from dhort form content

[brave canyon]

@cedar hatch you could join lowman cord and ask questions in there too

Theory craft with people

[cedar hatch]

u got a link?

[turbid sorrel]

lowman cords is just who has the biggest ego

[brave canyon]

I normally do all my builds theory crafting with clan mates because my clan has 2 teams that placed top 100 in Desert Perpetual and I went to them for all my builds for EQ contest

[brave canyon]

There’s quite a bit of people in there who will genuinely help you

[cedar hatch]

i actually just started filling my clan in the last 3 days, its wild how many people are still playing after all the doom and gloom on yt

[brave canyon]

Check DM’s

[cedar hatch]

found a new 3 members last night trying to run crotas

bet

[frosty glacier]

sure

waiting on it btw

[lament summit]

does weapon stat do anything for final warning in pvp?

[drifting plinth]

does not reduce ttk

[lament summit]

damn

what about for glaives

[drifting plinth]

nothing

[lament summit]

damn

[drifting plinth]

glaives benefit more from melee start

[lament summit]

oh fr?

[drifting plinth]

*stat

fuck autocorrect

[lament summit]

i didn't know they get buffed by melee

ykw that does make sense coz synthos buffs them

[drifting plinth]

<@&1019968308973416448>

[lament summit]

the hell is that about

[drifting plinth]

scam

[static basin]

kovacslevente69 has been banned!

[drifting plinth]

hence the mod ping

[lament summit]

that gave me whiplash going from talking bout glaives to some random mr beast thing 😭

anyways is there a certain value that helps reduce the ttk of glaive melees?

[drifting plinth]

200 makes them 2 hit

[lament summit]

oh lord

[tawdry sequoia]

I get home in 4 hours

[tawdry sequoia]

Depends on which glaive

[lament summit]

what if it has disruption break

[tawdry sequoia]

Adaptive is 3 aggressive is 2

[lament summit]

the new void one coz i don't have any other

[drifting plinth]

ah yeah, gotta be aggro glaive iirc

[lament summit]

in that slot at least

[tawdry sequoia]

Yea

[tawdry sequoia]

It's 2

It's a aggressive

But winter bite is 1

With heavy

[lament summit]

with the 200 melee?

[tawdry sequoia]

Yep

It's near death of one hit that's why it's 2

[lament summit]

?

[tawdry sequoia]

Uhh

Whats the perk read again

Oh arbby has it

One sec

[lament summit]

+50% dmg on shield break

for kinetic

which apparently glaive melees are classed as

[tawdry sequoia]

Uh

Wait a minute

[lament summit]

im just doing a gimmick build with deimos on strandlock so i was thinking glaives are the best option to be annoying, along with final warning because its final warning

[tawdry sequoia]

I love to see it

[lament summit]

i'm tired of this trials map already

[tawdry sequoia]

Oh

No it's a two tap if ur just doing glaive

But

But

If ur using the projectile

Then yes

Proj to break then melee yes

It'll one tap

[lament summit]

hmm i see

so i still need to do stuff with it twice

[tawdry sequoia]

Wdym

[lament summit]

like shoot once and then melee

[tawdry sequoia]

Yea

[lament summit]

wait how much melee stat would it need then with disruption

[tawdry sequoia]

Uh

[lament summit]

that was the main reason i brought it up i just remembered

i don't have any friends to test it on that's why i have to ask it here-

[tawdry sequoia]

Melee glaive is like 3/5 of the health bar with 200 melee on aggressive so

[lament summit]

how much health does a guardian have again

i think it was 230 or smthn right

[tawdry sequoia]

Around that

Yea

[drifting plinth]

tiny little bit over 230

[tawdry sequoia]

When I get home u wanna friend me?

I'm always on when I'm not workin

[drifting plinth]

i can help test in like 15 min

[tawdry sequoia]

Or do it now xD

Im good at PvE and somewhat good at pvp

[main pulsar]

Anyone wanna help me with fire and ice?

[tawdry sequoia]

Uh

Mission or catty

[main pulsar]

Mission

Not doing the catty

[tawdry sequoia]

Catty=no mission=sure in 4 hours when I get home

[main pulsar]

😭✌🏾

[lament summit]

200 melee gives 1.2x dmg which allows for a two tap melee while you need three if you're at 1x dmg so the .2 counts for a third melee, presuming that 2 at 1x leaves them super low but not dead we can assume one melee does like 110 dmg, the first melee wouldn't have the buff but the second would, you have 1 hit at 1x and the second at 1.5x, which would be around 275 dmg in theory, that is if the first one breaks the shield in the first place, so theoretically you can two tap at no melee with disruption, but that seems wildly unbalanced coz otherwise everyone would be using it, so further testing is required..

[lament summit]

bet

[tawdry sequoia]

Ur missin something bubba

Aggressive

And adaptive do diff dmg

[lament summit]

i'm pretty good at pve and like,, not too good in pvp but i do have my pop off moments coz i play a lot of fps

[tawdry sequoia]

This is for adaptive

Bc they three tap

[small sentinel]

Which is more devastating with a prismatic sanguine build, song of flame or nova bomb?

[lament summit]

do aggressives already 2 tap at base

[tawdry sequoia]

Uh

Havent tried it xD

[tawdry sequoia]

Uh

Missing weapon

[lament summit]

i hope all my thinking didn't go to waste 😭

[small sentinel]

What do you mean?

[safe iris]

nova

sof is not for damage

[lament summit]

sof is more for surviving the damage phase lol

[safe iris]

[lament summit]

unless they're using a solar weapon for dmg or smthn and wanna stack scorch

but that's not rly worth it anyways

i think the last time i did smthn like that was when the artifact had that perk for snipers applying scorch

[glad viper]

I’ve done all the outbreak perfected quests and catalyst/intrinsic unlocks but when I go to reshape it everything is locked except for the 4 perks to choose from, anybody know what’s going on?

Same deal with whisper of the worm

[fathom marten]

Try making a new one

[lament summit]

do things like that need to be levelled up in order to put the perks on them?

[sudden egret]

Hover over the perk to see the requirements

[glad viper]

I did and it still says intrinsics are locked

[tawdry sequoia]

Uh Bubba u need the vault secrets

[glad viper]

Yeah just found that out lol ty

[tawdry sequoia]

Catalyst/intrinsic should never be /

They two different things

[tawdry sequoia]

Eso has a vid

[glad viper]

Watching it now haha

[tawdry sequoia]

But

U need to do part one

Not just the vault secrets

[glad viper]

Part one of what?

[tawdry sequoia]

The symbol matching

On reg

[glad viper]

Okay

[tawdry sequoia]

Do it on reg bc it's easier

[glad viper]

For sure

[tawdry sequoia]

But yea part one is symbol mactjing using outbreak

If u can't do it in time I can hop on in 3 hours and help ua

Ya

[glad viper]

Guys what's a basic/decent Hunter pvp setup?

[high lily]

#📕crucible-playbook would be a better place to ask

[hidden zinc]

200 health, 100 super, 100 class

[past minnow]

im tryna help my buddy unlock dual destinies but the witch wont spawn, we did all 3 overthrows first then did the landing one again but the prompt never came up

[high lily]

have they beat the campaign

[rotund sigil]

halp

wat do

[high lily]

click on it

[rotund sigil]

it dun do nuthin

contested territory in background

how change ;-;

[high lily]

it takes you to another menu with 3 territories

[rotund sigil]

yeah but like

the contested territory

is neither of the ones required by my priority contract

its the other one...the tharsis one

does it like change every day/week or sum? or do I just need to do something on tharsis first to change it?

OH wait u meant click on the contested territory

sry I didnt realize that was a node lol

I thought u meant click on tracker, which showed nothing xD

[past minnow]

yes, we did it together

[high lily]

stuff like Still Hunt and Microcosm?

i dont remember if theyre required or not but would be worth trying

[fathom marten]

The prompt doesn’t just automatically appear afterward, it only shows up once you start getting close to where they spawn

[tawdry sequoia]

So it happens by many things

1. Finish the TFS campaign do everything it gives u
2. All u need to do is for that person to complete each area aka (the blooming) (the impasse) (the landing) complete the whole thing once in each area

When 1 and 2 are done the third and final area whatever u choose will have a message in the hud or above ur super should say "A secret keeper of the Witch queen is near" once that is shown find that witch kill kill it's ghost and it'll then say "A secret keeper of the witch queen has been vanquished"

Nvm complete all three areas of the overthrow

When all three secret keepers have been killed travel to the blooming look in the sky to find a big ass green bean (u can't miss the thing) if u don't know where it is the entrance is where the bird is for the cyst

When u found the green beam there are these two balls (relics) scattered u and ur friend have to kill ads and collect the relics once done go to the plates and dunk or smth and when u have done that ur friends hud will show a new mission nearby aka dual destiny

There done

what synergizes well with stasis? void?

[drifting plinth]

i mean, the best weapons to synergise with a subclass are going to be same element weapons in way most cases

ice breaker stasis synergy is one of the few exceptions

[quartz sun]

stasis subclass? stasis weapon?

[sudden egret]

stasis surge?

[daring vortex]

Do conquests rotate each week? I am trying to go up guardian ranks and it says i have to do all 6 grandmaster conquests but there’s only 2 in the conquests tab

[high lily]

the last 4 will release on june 9th

[daring vortex]

So its impossible to get past rank 10 currently?

[fathom marten]

Correct

[high lily]

theres no reason to either

you dont gain anything past rank 7

[daring vortex]

Well if you think about it there’s no reason to do anything in this game

[quartz sun]

don't think so much

[daring vortex]

Im just chasing rank 11 cause i cant figure out what to do

[quartz sun]

crayon taste better than skill

[fathom marten]

I typically help other new players through the campaigns via Fireteam Finder

[high lily]

loot exists

GR just gives nothing

[small sentinel]

What solar deepsight weapon can deal a lot of damage that uses primary ammo? I enjoy no hesitation, but it’s output seems lacking.

[turbid talon]

"Lot of damage" and "Primary" don't really go together.

[small sentinel]

I was eyeballing timeworn, but echoes is long past

[fathom marten]

Timeworn is still possible to earn, via weekend Xur

Same with the rest of the Echoes, Revenant, and Heresy weapons

[sudden egret]

but if you want a craftable primary thats better than no hesitation, go for zaoulis bane or try a rocket side arm, aberrant action (xur is selling it this weekend)

or just pick up the returned memory from zavala

[high lily]

specifically the 1st returned memory ^^^

[small sentinel]

I forgot xur pops up on Fridays

Here’s hoping

[turbid talon]

Shenanigans

God, I love that word.

[turbid talon]

A little bit of shenaniganery

[gleaming plank]

I haven't played since like 9.1.0.2, and apparently the power cap got increased to 550. How does that work with the score system? This was how I understood it to work before.

[civic comet]

i have anti barrier rounds for hand cannon but my malfeasance still isnt doing anything against barrier. Whats up with taht

[turbid talon]

It's inherently anti-Unstoppable.

The intrinsic overrides the mod.

[civic comet]

ohhh

whats unstoppable

wait nvm figured it out

[turbid talon]

Different Champ type. They have 80% DR and run at you very angrily

Until stunned, of course

[civic comet]

so i should use a secondary hand cannon?

[turbid talon]

I would extremely heavily recommend against two Primaries. It's the #1 thing of "do not do" in Destiny 2. But, yes, a different source of Anti-Barrier will help.

[solar jasper]

How To: Champions
There are 3 kinds of champions:
• Barrier: Create a shield that can only be pierced by anti-barrier weapons, and also heal after a small delay while the shield is up.
• Overload: Teleport frequently and regenerate health very quickly if not stunned or suppressed.
• Unstoppable: Take significantly reduced damage and continue to pursue targets if not stunned.

Stunning Champions: Champions can be stunned by Seasonal Artifact Mods, Subclass Effects, and Exotics with Intrinsic Stuns. You can view a quick summary of these by hovering over the 3 champion symbols to the right of your weapons in your character screen.

For more information, check out the guides below:
• Court's X Page (has various infographics such as the one in the top right)
• Datto's Champion Guide (Video)
• Reddit | Gamespot

[civic comet]

oh so maybe go smth like izanagi? since i have anti barrier sniper thingy

[turbid talon]

Sure, that should work. Keep in mind that despite the bubble of a Barrier being... well, a round bubble, you still want to aim for the weak spot of an enemy.

[civic comet]

gotcha

Why is it that when invading (Lawless Frontier), some invasions are in a small arena in a 1v1 format? Is it possible to turn that off to get mission invasions instead of glorified 1v1s?

[tawdry sequoia]

Nope

It's a 50/50 chance of doing a 1v1

[fluid egret]

Oh, that's so unfun.

[tawdry sequoia]

Lmao

Welcome to destiny

[fluid egret]

I've been around the block a few times, just bummed they brought invading into a new mode and somehow mucked it up.

[main pulsar]

50/50s

You just reminded me

I should go do my lawless frontier runs now

[fluid egret]

The full level ones are so fun :(

The 1v1s are just boring.

[main pulsar]

Because the 1v1s can be played very cringy

As soon as someone spawns a brig I leave

[fluid egret]

It has, so far, been exclusively lads camping with a sniper (typically Iza), mech or the Cabal vehicle with the tracking stasis shots.

[main pulsar]

Yea that's lame

[fluid egret]

I just let them kill me atp, no fun to be had there for me.

Im trying to do altar of reflection: catalyst. And i Get to the witch’s eye, and it’s just not opening, I cleared the room, but still, nothing happened, I even started it a second time, and i’m still getting the same issue

Is there anything I can do?

Like, glitch through the door or something?

[high lily]

go around the left side iirc

[tawdry sequoia]

@main pulsar wtf

[main pulsar]

Hi

[tawdry sequoia]

Cant I join 😭

[brave canyon]

It’s bugged and been fucked for a while. You have to skate or grapple around it

[main pulsar]

We are full

😭

[tawdry sequoia]

Damn

I see how it is

[static heart]

Returning player. It’s been maybe years. Very slow getting over 305. What’s the new soft and hard cap?

[tawdry sequoia]

Hard is 550

Soft uh

Idk

[solemn zodiac]

300-smth iirc

[high lily]

caps dont exist anymore other than the 550 limit

you just do anything in the portal to increase power

[main pulsar]

I'm sorry 🙁

[lost thorn]

Hey, I just finished the praxic professional exotic order but I still didn't get the yellow crystal. Is it random or am I missing something?

[hidden zinc]

What is best way to farm enhancement prisms

[tawdry sequoia]

Uh

Did u complete the quest after renegades for the lightsaber

[lost thorn]

Yes

[tawdry sequoia]

Uh

[lost thorn]

You need the lightsaber to do the order

[tawdry sequoia]

Yea

[lost thorn]

Since it's lightsaber kills during pinnacle ops

[tawdry sequoia]

Yes

[brave canyon]

What’s your yellow crystal says when you try to equip it

[tawdry sequoia]

^

[fluid egret]

A friend of mine is a returning player, so only has some of the older exotic weapons that used to come from just engrams.
How do they get those weapons now? Just Xur engram purchasing?

[lost thorn]

It said Not found, I'll sceencap it when I get back home

[high lily]

Random from opening engrams or xur yea

[high lily]

Ultimate difficulty

[hidden zinc]

Im farming arena opps quickplay rn n im getting more shards than prisms its insane, great armor n shards farm tho

[fluid egret]

Cool, thanks. Same deal that if they don't have all the old ones in the engram, it guarantees one not yet found until all are found?

[fluid egret]

Minor income on it, but checking Rahool's Special Orders for the discounted Prisms is worth doing if you're really crunching.

Just slip it into any oddball Tower trips.

Just a Glimmer discount, iirc, but it's like 1/4 the Glimmer cost (3x uses).

Assuming you aren't bottlenecked by cores.

[high lily]

yea

[fluid egret]

Cool, just making doubly sure!

Thank you for your unending aid, Jongomonologotomangodangolocious.

[hidden zinc]

I hahe like 1k cores is that alot

[tawdry sequoia]

Whisper on ultimate

[hidden zinc]

How much does that gi e u

Give

[tawdry sequoia]

Uhhh

[fluid egret]

Yeah, you can go convert at a 10 cores/10k glimmer rate.

For 1 prism

Or 10 cores/2.5k glimmer (3x a day) at the discounted rate, I believe.

[safe iris]

[fluid egret]

It ain't much but if the lad has 1k and needs prisms......

[mental thorn]

What’s the best way to level up your power?

[fluid egret]

Run portal activities, look for ones with bonus drops.

I personally just run my favorite strike on GM and constantly get small upgrades to my current power.

There's no cap on it dishing out rewards, so you can just run to your's heart content.

[mental thorn]

Im power 350 so its kind of hard to solo grandmaster

[fluid egret]

Try running some lower difficulty ones, run Renegades campaign, or some solo ops.

That said, GM strikes (Fireteam Ops) are matchmade. Just so happens some might not have players queueing, like Devil's Lair (which rarely has people queue it GM).

[mental thorn]

Master solo ops with A reward rank only levels me up by 1-2 power for completion 🫩

[fluid egret]

Gotta start somewhere.

[cloud heart]

im not exactly understanding how 'leveling up' works in this game. im trying to catch up to my friends but im not understanding how to really do that

i have all dlcs, is it just the gear score?

[safe iris]

yeah the funny number on the pieces of gear

do portal activities that are quick and have bonus drops

[cloud heart]

does the averge level gear i get get higher if all the pieces are better or do i just need to do harder content?

[safe iris]

as you go up in power you'll have to do the higher difficulties and the drops are based off your account power

so if you're 400 power and doing expert (its like 200 rated or something) u wont get power

you'd have to do like grandmaster i believe

you can check the portal score (predictor?) before you launch an activity to see what power gear you should be getting (as well as tier)

[static heart]

That’s a rough punishment for breaking off for a few years. Going from a few levels from cap to light level 10.

[fluid egret]

Even some very basic content should give you 300 tier gear, and I do not believe being 10 power will make you get 1 shot or anything.

[static heart]

What level does one need to do higher content these days? And to solo content that normally people do with a fire team?

I’m at 302 now

[little pewter]

depends on the activity

power doesnt make you stronger, it just negates the penalty. So just get to the recommended power

[fluid egret]

Soloing content is more so about build + player skill, than it is about specific power. There's some impact there, but GM tier content is soloable even in low 400s.

[static heart]

A good level for any activity I suppose then

[little pewter]

...550 i guess?

[fluid egret]

I was soloing GM tier content with relative ease on like 400~ power.

Probably doable lower, but can't personally attest to it.

[little pewter]

some endgame content emposes no extra penalties if youre as low as 350 power

[high lily]

everyone was reset
this was also a thing every expansion prior, a new base power making everyone grind back to the cap

[little pewter]

if you dont remember power resetting before, youre either not experienced enough with the game, or simply forgot

[fluid egret]

Yeah, as Paracausal Banjo said, some doesn't penalize you. I think it'll tell you outright if you will be penalized, but can't say that with 100% total confidence as there might be something does not tell you. Even if it doesn't, you'll find out quick

[little pewter]

as this is the... 7th time?

[fluid egret]

7th or 8th, yeah.

Been fairly consistent thing they've done.

[static heart]

Low 400’s is what I’ll grind to then 😂 I was running young ahamkaras spine for infinite grenade loop last I played but that seems to not work very well now. Been playing with ophidia spathe with a healing grenade and generally infinite melee

[fluid egret]

Honestly, content is soloable with pretty much anything.

I've run through all conquests without an exotic armor piece on Solar hunter solo, and been running dungeons and solo GM OPs on no exotic Solar hunter.

You'd be hard pressed to find content that isn't soloable on just about any setup outside of the hardest in the game.

[little pewter]

meta gear is only the necessity in very very very hard content

otherwise it just makes it easier rather than being needed

[fluid egret]

And even then, unless there's an absolute mechanic that 100% without any room for wiggle or skill expression forces you to use the best, you can find a way, just as we always have.

[safe iris]

become meta slave

[little pewter]

and you can solo any content except for most raids, dual destiny, and co-op focus campaigns in the pale heart anyway.

[high lily]

you wont be able to get tier 5 gear unless youre 450 power minimum

[fluid egret]

I.e. it's technically possible to solo Atheon currently without a meta setup, but a meta setup just makes it easier.

[fluid egret]

T5 can drop pre-450.

Equil (at least) can.

[high lily]

rarely

thats because of feats

[fluid egret]

I was receiving it fairly consistently even as low as 400s.

[fluid egret]

No feats.

[high lily]

nope

needs feats for tier 5

[fluid egret]

I have received several T5s on base Equil encounters.

[high lily]

the single guaranteed tier 5 from the quest isnt farmable

[fluid egret]

Which quest is that?

[high lily]

way between or something, the one that unlocks focusing

[fluid egret]

Hm, odd. I received T5s on base equil runs more than once before doing that.

I got my T5 Zealous Ideal on a no feat run when I was around 420~ iirc

[high lily]

you must be misremembering or didnt realize you had feats on (because feats barely change gameplay)

[fluid egret]

This is T5, yes?

[high lily]

yes

[tawdry sequoia]

Hm

[fluid egret]

I am absolutely 100% certain it was a no feats run, then.

Because it was one of my first clears and I didn't even know feats existed (and was the host, so nobody could've put them on without me knowing).

[high lily]

wouldve been from the quest then

[fluid egret]

Was not from the quest, either.

[high lily]

because it just isnt possible without feats to increase gear tier

[fluid egret]

Hell, I received a T5 bond just earlier without feats on.

No focusing, but that's post quest finish.

[safe iris]

i wonder if its like dp

where first run of the week gives tier 5's?

is that cause of the weekly challenge

[fluid egret]

I don't mean to like, challenge somebody who clearly (and absolutely) knows more than me, I am simply absolutely and totally certain I received T5s before 450 power (as I'm not even at 450 still, 449 this second) and without feats on (as I've never done a feats Equil).

[high lily]

thats a thing?

i havent ran desert since contest

[safe iris]

get in there

dp so fun

[high lily]

i still need everpresent

just no team and you know how lfg is

[fluid egret]

Equil at the least has a weekly checkbox for Heirloom, so if it does have that challenge, it already has the system to check if you've done it that week.

[little pewter]

you ping me on repeat when you even catch a whiff of someone not having done a raid, and yet you dont call on me to rectify your own lacking raid experience?

[fluid egret]

-# Ooooh, somebody is in trouble.

[high lily]

i know how to do the raid, i just dont want to be stuck there for hours

[fluid egret]

Since I haven't hit 450 yet on any character, I can go slam a few Equil encounters on my other characters who haven't done it this week to see if a T5 drops?

In fact, my first clear of it dropped a T5 claw on final boss. It's still sitting at 342 power lol

[safe iris]

if its cause weekly challenge then it would be account wide

right?

[fluid egret]

I have 10 T5s from Equil and have not hit 450 power or done a single feats run.

And I know I've dismantled at least 5 others (mostly heavy slots with bad rolls).

Some of those are from after I did The Way Between but only 2 are from focusing.

[mental thorn]

Low-key crucible is the method for leveling up

[fluid egret]

That is an option.

[high lily]

(fastest is reclaim after doing all your bonus engrams)

[fluid egret]

Very good to know. Thank you (yet again) Jongomonologotomangodangolocious.

[maiden ledge]

is there anyway to get yeartide apex

[high lily]

not until Solstice

if they even bring it back'

[obsidian berry]

What's the difference between farming Vanguard Ops in the Vanguard tab and Fireteam Ops in the portal tab...?

[high lily]

vanguard ops has outdated loot, you wont get power, and its not tiered

portal replaced it

[obsidian berry]

Damn

That sucks

Back to the portal

[maiden ledge]

ok

[mental thorn]

Should I buy 2025 legacy collection

[high lily]

if its on sale yea

thats every bit of content released before Edge of Fate

[mental thorn]

Praying it goes on sale cause the only campaign I have is beyond light 🙏

[high lily]

(and shadowkeep)

[drifting plinth]

forgot that existed

wish i could keep it that way

cause it mid af

like redoing eof levels of boring

[glad crag]

Shadowkeep be like

We're whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon. But there aint no whales so we tell tall tales and sing this whaling tune.

kk ty

[golden hemlock]

if i spam arena will i get power 400 loot cuz im getting 320 stuff rn

[little pewter]

if its at a high enough difficulty and the score is high enough

[frosty glacier]

can i only buy lightfall dungeon key from in game

[golden hemlock]

it doesn’t let me do higher than master sadly

[little pewter]

do the highest you can, and always get A rank

then you will get higher power.

this will apply all the way to 550

[golden hemlock]

okok, currently i’m rank b

[little pewter]

theres your issue

[golden hemlock]

idk how to make it higher which is confusing me

[little pewter]

more modifiers

if youre doing quickplay where you cant change modifiers, theres also your issue.

[golden hemlock]

yknow if i put on modifiers can i still go in matchmaking

cuz i can’t do it by myself im too bad

[hidden zinc]

Whats groll for current gm cross bow

[waxen ibex]

It's kind of a shit gun but envious high ground is kind of the best you'll get

[hidden zinc]

Its actually part of the best damage rotation rn

[waxen ibex]

That's kind of a meme rotation

Nobody actually does that

[hidden zinc]

I was just told this, what is the rotation

[waxen ibex]

And it's not better than just using lp uncivil

[waxen ibex]

Hunter exclusive, orpheus rig and using envious to spam bolts

It only does relevant damage because orpheus buffs bow damage

[hidden zinc]

Love uncivil getting nerf tho

[tawdry sequoia]

LP and uncivil fucks

[tawdry sequoia]

Wait

Huh

[waxen ibex]

When

[hidden zinc]

Next seas

[tawdry sequoia]

Proof?

[waxen ibex]

So we just making stuff up

[hidden zinc]

Watch

[tawdry sequoia]

Bro just said watch

[heady barn]

is ionized heatsink still the best for all heat weapons ?

[waxen ibex]

It'll get an insignificant nerf like rocket pulses did

[tawdry sequoia]

Lmao

[waxen ibex]

It's only best for uncivil because it gets extra shots off during lp window

[heady barn]

whats better

[tawdry sequoia]

Why is that a question

[waxen ibex]

Mag barely matters on heat weapons, overclocked heatsink is a like 1% damage buff

[tawdry sequoia]

LP with uncivil

Is massively better than the witherhoard with envious bow

[heady barn]

if its only best for uncivil, then on OTHER heat weapons whats the best heatsink ?

[waxen ibex]

The downside of overclocked does pretty much nothing as well because it only nerfs the passive heat drain

[safe iris]

do scavs work on weapons that get indirect ammo such as lead from gold

solar scav on a lfg weapon and im picking up heavy does a solar scav increase that or would the scav have to be on my heavy only

[waxen ibex]

I don't think scavs interact with ammo gen perks

Since you aren't grabbing a brick

It's just a percentage of the max ammo pool

[safe iris]

mmmmmmkay

so scavs are USELESS for lfg weapons

[waxen ibex]

Scavs seem pretty useless in this sandbox in general lol

They barely add any ammo meanwhile >100 weapons stat is massively increasing it

[safe iris]

what if im not running weapons

[high lily]

bad news..

[safe iris]

i mean im sure 120 weapons is not enough

[high lily]

nah, Impromtu + Incan Returned Memory is awesome

1st pick from zavala

[high lily]

150 is ideal because 50% chance for double brick

[safe iris]

150+ got it

[safe iris]

i prefer lfg incan

[high lily]

impromptu is an increase in ammo gen for everything

other weapons and abilities

[hidden zinc]

Shall I farm gm for bow or wait till next season for a better roll bcz this roll kinda ahhv@high lily

[obsidian berry]

Do these have a chance to be red border without the weekly or is the weekly the only way to get one as red border?

[sudden egret]

they have a small chance to be red

[obsidian berry]

It's like 20% right?

[sudden egret]

na, closer to 5%

[obsidian berry]

I thought that was the natural chance for all weapons to be red

Dayum

Well, I don't wanna use Harmonizers on something this farmable so

To the mines

[sudden egret]

I would just buy one a week

[obsidian berry]

True

On that note, is there a max to the amount of harmonizers you can carry?

[fathom marten]

5

[sudden egret]

5

[obsidian berry]

Gotcha

I'm at 4 rn and I don't really know what to spend them on

[sudden egret]

I would just use them on the seasonal weapons that don't have many drop sources

[obsidian berry]

Stuff like Ikelos from Seraph's Shield, yeah?

[sudden egret]

xur is selling a few this weekend

[obsidian berry]

I got 21 drops from Seraph's Shield this week just to get 1 SMG, the Shotgun can wait until next time 😭

[hidden zinc]

@sudden egret

[obsidian berry]

Any worth note?

[sudden egret]

are you a hunter?

[sudden egret]

abarant action

[hidden zinc]

Might build hunter next

[obsidian berry]

I'll check that out, ty 🙏

[sudden egret]

well, it's used for a hunter mobius rotation

so if that sounds like something you want to do, get a good good shout

[obsidian berry]

Oh, well I'm a Harmonizer short, so that sucks :/

But I can grab some to stick in my vault

[hidden zinc]

Mobius?

Do u recommend it

[sudden egret]

it's one of the best dps rotations in the game

[sudden egret]

one of the void supers

[formal ridge]

what's the quickest way to get bright dust?

[sudden egret]

Do your orders

[waxen ibex]

You can buy them with the season pass currency

Xur also brings them sometimes

[obsidian berry]

Bought all of mine atp

From the chronologs

[waxen ibex]

Darn

Have to wait for xur then

[formal ridge]

orders?

[hidden zinc]

What groll

[obsidian berry]

Happy to know that's an option tbh

Thank you

[sudden egret]

Portal -> seasonal hub -> overview

[sudden egret]

A shiny roll with envious is the important part.

[hidden zinc]

What is good with envious

[sudden egret]

The 4th column is garbage, high ground is best if you can proc it

[hidden zinc]

Ty

[tawdry sequoia]

Hes here

[young kettle]

What all is there to do for free users?

[tawdry sequoia]

Raids dungeons uh the portal not the dlcs

[waxen ibex]

As in wait for a week where he brings a harmonizer

[tawdry sequoia]

Lmao 🤣

[young kettle]

Been gone too long lol all these dlcs came out of nowhere for me gotta work on getting them

[tawdry sequoia]

Very true

[twin peak]

shadowkeep and beyond light campaigns are free

[young kettle]

Also one more question , when is resets again?

[tawdry sequoia]

Tuesday

At 1pm est

[tawdry sequoia]

Daily is every day at 1pm est

But weekly is Tuesday at 1pm est

[young kettle]

Thank you yall are legends

[fathom marten]

More specifically, because of Day Lights Saving, it's always 1700 UTC precisely

[young kettle]

They must be “free “ on steam I’m running thru epic

I’ll get em eventually

[fathom marten]

Everything should be the same across all platforms

[young kettle]

Well on epic it’s showing 19.99 for each shadow keep and beyond light

Which isn’t bad

[formal ridge]

besides orders, are there other ways of obtaining bright dust? i also checked xur and the chronolog thing and there aren

any bright dust you can get

[fathom marten]

They should be free to play in-game

[waxen ibex]

Legacy collection on steam is like $12 usually and gives everything but edge of fate and renegades

And yeah shadowkeep and beyond light campaigns are free

[fathom marten]

While you do have to purchase them for extra stuff, the campaigns for both are free

[young kettle]

Will find out eventually currently working on all the starting quests lol

[waxen ibex]

The dlcs are still purchasable as they give the exotics and raids

[fathom marten]

Not that I am aware of

[young kettle]

That makes sense

[waxen ibex]

Orders and the seasonal hub challenges replaced the weekly seasonal challenges and bounty dust

[fathom marten]

Orders do give infinite bright dust, but it scales down to I think like 10 per order after a certain number of them

[waxen ibex]

It's pretty much the same expected dust as before

Exotic orders have a separate per season cap since they replace the old weekly challenges

[formal ridge]

what does it mean when it says "your current loadout is incorrect for the current restrictions"?

do i not have enough light or something?

[fathom marten]

There's probably an avant-garde modifier on the activity. Try making every weapon and armor piece have a blue icon in the top left corner and see if that works

Or get rid of the avant-garde modifier

[terse jacinth]

how to farm tier 5 renegade weapons im at 467 light

[glad viper]

What does “wrong stat minimums” on a DIM loadout mean? It’s giving that message on one of my loadouts but I don’t see why

How is the loadout not reaching the minimum stats from the loadout optimizer?

[safe iris]

lawless frontier

[fathom marten]

And also spending your credits at vendors on Tharsis

[terse jacinth]

any difficulty? i only been getting tier 4s

[fathom marten]

Whatever will help get your syndicate ranks up, since Spider will also give you something to increase renegades drops by one tier with any syndicate maxed

[boreal patio]

get a syndicate to rank 5 then grab the T5 upgrade from spider

it wont make T5 guaranteed but theyll start dropping

[mental thorn]

What do mementos do?

[sudden egret]

;mementos

[solar jasper]

What are Mementos?

- Mementos are cosmetic items that can only be applied to crafted weapons and enhanced weapons.
- You can only hold three memento of each kind at a time.
- Mementos are also one-time uses. Once you apply one to a weapon, you cannot retrieve it. Dismantling that weapon, or equipping a different memento, will delete the original memento.

Memento Unlocks

- Level 10: Unique tracker (example)
- Level 20: Title (visible only in the weapon details screen, example)
- Level 30: Animated shader (can be previewed in-game anytime, or on this spreadsheet)

Available Mementos

- Nightfall: Drops from Grandmaster Nightfalls (guaranteed each clear).
- Trials: Drops from the Lighthouse chest after going flawless in Trials of Osiris (once a week).
- Iron Banner: Drops randomly from iron banner games.
- Gambit: Random drop from Gambit matches, regardless of wins/losses.
- Monolithic: No wipe clear of Salvation's Edge raid or clear Salvation's Edge on Master difficulty (bugged and unobtainable as of release).
- Garden of Salvation: No wipe clear of Garden of Salvation raid.
- Lost: Guaranteed upon completion of the Twilight triumph, and, after completing the triumph, randomly from Eerie Engrams. (Only available during the Festival of the Lost event).
- Dawning: Guaranteed upon completion of the Winter Night quest and, after completing the quest, randomly when opening Gifts in Return. (Only available during the Dawning event).
- Games: Obtained randomly from depositing Gold, Platinum and Diamond Medallions. (Only available during the Guardian Games event).
- Solstice: Obtained randomly from Solstice packages after completing the solstice quest. (Only available during the Solstice event).

[sudden egret]

They sadly can’t be slotted into tier weapons

[cedar hatch]

would anyone be willing to look over my build and give me some pointers? it's for PVE.

https://dim.gg/6sjz44a/Equipped

[drifting plinth]

witherhoard does not help what you seem to be trying to do here

if you cant get ice breaker id recommend trying for something with corpsebloom on it

also, never use unflinching mods in pve

fastball is also not helpful

[dusty grove]

It means that your minimum stat spread isn't attainable with the gear you have access to in your vault

[hybrid eagle]

there's still a way to get Pyramidic Vessel Exotic ship, Exotic Ghost shell, by chance srry

[subtle dock]

i have a getaway artist build rn, what exotic should i use/focus on getting

[little pewter]

depends on the activity, the getaway artist build does not rely on any kind of weapon.

though if youre doing something where DPS is relevant, parasite would do very well with a rocket pulse rifle

provided youre using the solar holster mod

[subtle dock]

just need a dps option lowkey, but i want something good in my kenetic slot for getting transcendence

[subtle dock]

what weapon with what now?

[little pewter]

if you struggle with transcendence gain at all, you're probably not using the build right and should look at this first

[little pewter]

Parasite

with any rocket pulse rifle

could even go for two in the right circumstance.

[cedar hatch]

noted, I will make changes

[subtle dock]

well i get one bar just fine, the other i get stuck on and delays my transcendence

[cedar hatch]

is the stat dist at least decent?

[little pewter]

are you using helion

if so: are you playing on low end content

[subtle dock]

wym by rocket pulse rifle and how do i get one

[drifting plinth]

not visible via dim

but you want 100 melee 100 class 200 wep for fealty

[subtle dock]

yes and yes?

[little pewter]

rocket assisted frame on a pusle rifle, mint retrograde from hawthorne and/or PSI from portal

[little pewter]

ah then it shouldnt matter

otherwise id encourate you to swap to the stasis turret

[cedar hatch]

this is what I have

[subtle dock]

whys that? i plan on working my way up to harder things

[drifting plinth]

drop some of that class for weapons and you're fine

[cedar hatch]

I've tried, I have to farm some new armor to do so

[little pewter]

in lower content it does not matter what you run

the helions damage will fall off in harder content, the stasis turret will charge darkness bar, and offer excellent passive CC

[little pewter]

then you must continue trying

its ill advised to settle for the build being "half assed"

[cedar hatch]

the leggy armor was originally farmed for my void build, I got pris last night.

and yes, I understand I need to farm same sets for bonuses, I just kind of forgot to do so

[subtle dock]

whats cc

[little pewter]

Crowd Controll, typically debuffs like freezing.

[subtle dock]

also where is hawthorne and psi?

[little pewter]

not to be confused with add clear

[little pewter]

Hawthorne is in the tower

PSI is not a person

PSI is a weapon

i recommend googling for more insight

[subtle dock]

yeah which portal activity is it

i assume psi is easier to get

[little pewter]

should be just any? i recommend you refer to the message above

[cedar hatch]

Hawthorne is exceptionally annoying, fair warning

[little pewter]

google would provide further insight

[subtle dock]

right ill do that

should i aim for a different exotic? i think i can get galla

[cedar hatch]

I get psi from crucible drops every match it seems

[boreal patio]

solo ops, fireteam and arena

[little pewter]

...gjallarhorn? hell no

[subtle dock]

bruh i never get them

[subtle dock]

is it bad now

[little pewter]

its only ever been good on its own for like.. a month? less so than that i think

[boreal patio]

not in a rocket meta

[little pewter]

otherwise its only been good for support

making legendary rockets perform well

[subtle dock]

is it called psi it is it short for something? im on light gg

[little pewter]

but the gun itself is bad

[little pewter]

psi atearna something

[boreal patio]

psi aeterna

i think

[little pewter]

something along those lines

[subtle dock]

whats the other one called that you mentioned?

[little pewter]

Mint Retrograde

[cedar hatch]

psi aeterna iv

[little pewter]

Hawthorne

if youre using light.gg, please dont tell me youre using it to see which roll comboes are good...

[cedar hatch]

please, never use light

[boreal patio]

godroll.tv

[cedar hatch]

I made that mistake a very long time ago

[subtle dock]

nah just to see it

[cedar hatch]

is this real?

[boreal patio]

yes

[subtle dock]

thanks didnt know tbis exsisted

[cedar hatch]

is it..right?

[boreal patio]

im pretty sure, theyve have an updated change log so they probably did the math for stuff

for reference d2foundry made no changes for like a year

[cedar hatch]

everyone here has dissuaded me from using any third parties for grs I gotta check lol

[subtle dock]

how does it work it doesn’t tell me the best rolls

[little pewter]

reliable roll websites are seldom deemed reliable for their appraisals

[subtle dock]

i dont see any weapons

[little pewter]

because... there are no good ones

[little pewter]

i will yet again advise google

it provides more insight

faster

but for this specific question, engrams from hawthorne

[subtle dock]

this dont make sense to me ngl

[high lily]

This is just Foundry, not an actual god roll website

Also Dim exists if you want to see weapon perk pools

[mental thorn]

What’s the best non exotic kinetic for ad clear?

[sudden egret]

primary or special?

[iron coral]

Is there a new tower track since Final Shape? (haven't played since then) I'd send a video but I cant right now. I can't find it in the soundtracks

its a very simple one, like just an electric keyboard or something

I've spent so much time in the tower so im certain its new. ("new" to me)

[fathom marten]

I'd consult the Last City Radio discord, they do all the music stuff

[iron coral]

I found it, its a D1 track they must've added and I never played that.

its called "Deconstruction." Its really good, I really recommend ot. Its also not a keyboard, i should know what it is but I cant remember.

[cedar hatch]

jongo, do you play the bongos?

I've resisted the urge to ask this since roughly 2am

[twin peak]

@high lily yay or nay

[high lily]

i have never played bongos

[cedar hatch]

I have been enlightened, thank you

[mental thorn]

Any

[sudden egret]

Mint

[gleaming plank]

question: how often do the exotic missions change? like in the Legends tab?

i.e. how long do i have to fully farm out seraph's shield

[sudden egret]

Weekly

[zenith stone]

I bought a synthweave template under the impression I could convert a legendary chest armor into a universal ornament but I don’t see it under the options. Is it only possible with certain legendary armors?

The item I wanted to convert is Scored Baron Robes

[mental thorn]

For ad clear? Im already running choir of one so I don’t think I need it

[sudden egret]

If you are already running choir, you don’t need more ad clear

Mint is the best pairing with choir

[fathom marten]

Open your character menu, go down to where you would choose your ship or sparrow and instead select the box in the top right. Find the chest piece and hit whatever it says to unlock/purchase

[zenith stone]

I know how to get to the menu but the chest piece isn’t showing up

Up wait

I think it’s because I had it equipped

It’s there now

Thanks

[sudden egret]

are you wearing it?

ignore me 🐌

[wind kelp]

how is this not ok for avant garde

[fathom marten]

It’s picky :/

Swap something out or try a different difficulty

One of them doesn’t like to work

[wind kelp]

switched to 200 power an it works now for some reason

[fathom marten]

:)

[formal ridge]

where can i get bonus focus at the tower? can't seem to find it

[sudden egret]

focus for what?

[high lily]

tower is a social space, not an activity, it doesnt have bonus focuses

[autumn shard]

I feel like I need help figuring out what to do in the game.

I have a bunch of half started quests and idk what is going on. Whats the newest thing I should be working twords?

[turbid talon]

That's kind of hard to answer without knowing what you have and haven't done.
Working on your tutorial/New Light quests is, of course, ideal. They introduce you to the game and provide you with foundational knowledge and gear.
The Guardian Rank system is similarly valuable.

[autumn shard]

Says my adventure number is 5. But when I used to somewhat play this game I would just be following others no one ever really said what was going on

So now im just kinda stuck with all this stuff and lost yknow?

[turbid talon]

Ah, so you're a returning player?
Well, you might be interested in redoing the tutorial content. You can pick up the questline from the Quest Archive terminal in the Tower by the Postmaster.

[buoyant copper]

Drop chance on the dark matter ataken crystal?

[high lily]

we dont know drop chances

If game = Destiny
Drop rate = unknown

[buoyant copper]

that... oddly makes sense?

[autumn shard]

Alright I'll try that but is there a way to restart a quest so I have all the context of whats happening or why im doing it in the first place?

[turbid talon]

Not without making a new character, no.

But you can read through a quest's completed steps

[small sentinel]

Which is better, age old bond or reckless oracle?

[high lily]

reckless oracle

Destab + One For All

[small sentinel]

What build would you recommend it with?

I am so dumb, I thought oracle was a deepsight weapon

Hold on

I was looking at a different one

Nvm

[high lily]

its just a decent primary, not that i would use it in the current sandbox

[small sentinel]

Sandbox?

[turbid talon]

It's a term referring to the current game build

[small sentinel]

Oh

[brave canyon]

Double special meta rn

Primary weapons are….. no bueno

[high lily]

some exotic primaries are the exception, because by default they have a 30% damage buff over legendary primaries

[small sentinel]

I’ve noticed that, I just like primaries for ammo upkeep.

[brave canyon]

As long as you spec into weapons (which just about every build should) you don’t have to worry about ammo

And honestly the builds that don’t spec into weapons have so much ability spam it’s not even an issue

[small sentinel]

So either or?

[brave canyon]

Either or what?

[small sentinel]

Nvm, I forgot there were multiple categories for each ability

[brave canyon]

You lost me here

[small sentinel]

I thought there was a category for abilities like there is for weapons, but it’s just separate stats like grenade, class, etc.

[brave canyon]

Correct

I was saying for a bonk build where you go all in on melee stat and dump weapons stat you’re using the ability spam so much you’re gonna use less ammo which will offset the fact you didn’t spec into weapons

So you can still get by with using double special

[small sentinel]

New favorite term

So swords are must?

[brave canyon]

When did I say anything about swords

[small sentinel]

It’s melee. It’d make sense

[brave canyon]

Melee stat doesn’t effect sword damage

[small sentinel]

Aw

[brave canyon]

Just uncharged glaive melee

[sudden egret]

and no ammo swords

[brave canyon]

Weapons stat will make swords do more damage

[small sentinel]

Is there a way to prioritize armor drops with both melee and weapon stats?

[brave canyon]

No

[small sentinel]

Damn you bungo

[brave canyon]

I can’t think of a build you’d want that

Because any melee focused build you don’t need weapons stat

[small sentinel]

Probably a sword+ glaive build, i’d be happy with at least 100 per stat

[brave canyon]

I wouldn’t waste my time doing that for pve

Unless you just want to fuck around in the portal with it

In the new system 200 is much more important than trying to get multiple stats to 100

Like weapons you ideally want to have at like 180-200 range

[small sentinel]

Is it possible to get 2 seperate stats to 200?

[brave canyon]

Not without fonts

[small sentinel]

Fonts?

[brave canyon]

Font mods

[small sentinel]

Still no clue

Is it that extra slot you get with tier 5 gear?

[brave canyon]

There is a mod for each stat (health, melee, grenade, super, class, weapons) that will increase your stat total without actually showing it.

[small sentinel]

Oh

[brave canyon]

So for example if you have 150 super on your DPS build and then run 3 super font mods on your helmet, you’ll be at 200 super. But it’ll still show you at 150 if you inspect your menu.

The stat boost is active anytime you have an armor charge.

1 font mod increases that desired stat by 20, 2 mods increase it by 40, and 3 mods increase by 50.

[small sentinel]

Are font mods recommended?

[brave canyon]

So for example if you have a build with 150 super and 150 melee (which is possible because paragon armor drops with super and melee spikes) you could run 3 super fonts on helmet and 3 melee fonts on gauntlets and have 200 of each stat.

[brave canyon]

I mean if you need to use them yes. Ideally you’d want to have the stat at 200 so you could use other mods for like orb gen and shit.

The only time they’re absolutely recommend is for you super stat in a DPS loadout. There’s no reason to go above 150 super and waste stats you could be putting into weapons because you’re just going to run 3 super fonts on your helmet anyways.

[small sentinel]

Gotcha.

Ya’ll are so critical and informative, I love it.

[brave canyon]

I mean I’ve only been playing this game for 12/26 years on earth

[small sentinel]

Lol, thank you

[brave canyon]

Once you start playing around with the stats and shit it’ll all make more sense

[small sentinel]

I didn’t really care about any of that until around 2019. I didn’t understand how necessary it was to pay attention to all that stuff.

[brave canyon]

I mean the stat system as it is now is brand new. 2019 we got armor 2.0 and it was still pretty hard to achieve any sorts of crazy stat splits other than like a double 100 maybe.

Before 2019 armor was only recov mobility and resil and it was 0-10 not 0-100

[small sentinel]

Playing this game now makes a man smarter, I swear.

[brave canyon]

And more depressed

[small sentinel]

Fair.

[brave canyon]

Destiny is like a toxic ass situationship you can’t get out of

Some wild ass baby momma drama even

[small sentinel]

I find myself leaving for half a year, and coming back every time. And then I come back, look at all the new toys, and have a time for like 4-5 months and repeat the cycle, unless it’s halloween, I always redownload the game for the spooky stuff. + I just want nezarecs.

That 4/5 weapon pattern keeps eating at me

[keen bolt]

Can some1 thats pc and has destiny 2 in epic games library help me with a situation my friend bought me around 14k silver

[sudden egret]

[keen bolt]

Yea

[sudden egret]

[keen bolt]

I dont have a pc to redeem the silver

I can send u ss for proof if u want

[sudden egret]

[keen bolt]

Ik that's my problem

[sudden egret]

You can play it on GeForce now if you have a Mac

[keen bolt]

Nope I just have an xbox no laptop or nun like that

[sudden egret]

Then I’m out of solutions for ya

Go borrow a laptop from a library

[keen bolt]

[sudden egret]

Welp, only way to get it is if you can get your hands on a pc then

[keen bolt]

Wait idk if its a smart idea
But is letting some1 on ur acc a breach of tos or anything?

[sudden egret]

[keen bolt]

Gotcha

Well ty for trying to help ill just have to wait is all

[sweet dirge]

[fathom marten]

;catalyst

[solar jasper]

Exotic Catalysts

Catalysts are unique permanent upgrades for specific exotic weapons. Depending on when the catalyst was introduced, it may be as minor as a stat boost or as meaningful as a brand new feature of the weapon. Please note that acquiring catalysts is often very RNG-dependent or attached to an otherwise very grindy process.

Click here for a spreadsheet with a list of all exotic weapons, whether they have a catalyst, and how to get it if they do.

[smoky onyx]

This should be good enough for a 2 phase Raneiks yeah?

[little pewter]

likely yes. Id recommend you transcend ahead of time and throw the grenade the moment dps begins, the downtime using the storm grenade causes isnt worth the damage loss

[smoky onyx]

But the storm nade adds Jolt

[little pewter]

thats true thanks Jongo

[smoky onyx]

OMG BRO IM SO STUPID LMAO

Thanks for showing me that

[civic comet]

What's the point of this prismatic bs? Before it felt like u equipped a class to have a certain playstyle n explore new abilities. But it seems like this prismatic stuff is just some mix n match Skylanders swap force type thing? Is it pretty much just an excuse to give another keyword u gotta exclusively use prismatic to counter?

Just seems like it makes the whole class system moot. There was a level of immersion when limiting urself to a specific element

[twin peak]

beyond final shape missions pris is needed to counter anything specific afaik

it’s a mix of all subclasses

along with a reason to use class items

[teal adder]

Prism is only needed in final shape, but you still can get transcendence from pools

Prism itself is centered around certain aspects from each subclass, warlock has 3 turrets for example

So you get a specific playstyle from prism

Stuff like void warlock with contra or nothing manacles are still useful and unique

Solar for well

[jovial vessel]

With the changes with stats on armour. What is everyones priority for what to look for? 200 in weapons and then build dependant after?

[twin peak]

depends on build and content first

[little pewter]

it depends on the build and content to the point where you dont always go for weapons at all

[jaunty whale]

the point is to explore what happens when you mix and match abilities from different subclasses?

talking about immersion, i mean it's supposed to be the pinnacle of light and dark mastery no

[twin peak]

i do think that the mono subclasses should have something that pris doesn’t

[turbid talon]

They're meant to. It was the intended design. They're just strayed from that a bit.
