I’m an old d1 player who is trying to get back into d2. Is there anyone willing to answer the many questions I have since last playing in forsaken.

We can try! Do you have anything in particular or are you generally lost on what to do now?

#

Sure just slap them here I guess

#

Just like very basic stuff to know

#

Lfrs are the damage meta for bosses in raids with a few exceptions

#

Crafted guns are incredibly strong but require massive amounts of grinding to get

#

Solar and arc are the strongest subclasses for general play for all classes

#

Void is good in nightfalls, stasis is great in nightfalls but you need beyond light dlc to use it, and arc and void warlock both suck

#

Each subclass has one or two exotics that are just completely and utterly busted, which you can ask about

Holy guacamole a mod typed in a destiny forum

midnight girder
#

For anything below master you can honestly run whatever as you're carrying a champ mod

flat gale
#

Fair

midnight girder
#

Have fun with the buildd and everything

flat gale
#

Idk tho

#

Both void titan and Hunter lack ability spam capabilities

#

Unlike their arc and solar counterparts

best classes w/ subclasses in order for pvp and pve overal

pve:
arc titan
well lock
invis hunter
void titan
solar titan
stasis lock
everything else is either bad or not worth mentioning

pve (GMS w/ specific exotics)

arc titan w/ hoil
arc titan w/ cuirass
invis hunter w/ aeons
stasis lock w/ aeons
invis hunter w/ omni
stasis lock w/ osmio
everything else is garbage

raids:

starfire well
tcrash for atraks
bubble for taniks and nothing else
tether is underrated
(basically nothing matters as long as you have at least 2 well locks)

pvp:
arc titan w/ tcrash for everything
blade barrage and well for 3s
void overshield bubble titan for 3s
6 shot goldy for 6s
stormtrance is for 6s
everything i didnt mention is bad

3s (trials)

arc tcrash and void bubble titan
arc dead messenger warlock
blade barrage
nobody plays anything else

midnight girder
#

In gms it's worth mentioning that invis hunters>>>>>>well lock

toxic peak
#

^^^^^^

midnight girder
#

And stasis lock> well lock

toxic peak
#

completely true

midnight girder
#

Well is pretty useless in gms tbh

toxic peak
#

also at least 1 arc titan should be in every single team for every single activity with only one exception, that being when ur fighting a cheater in trials, thats when you use void

midnight girder
#

I see playing pvp as whatever playstyle fits your jam tbh

#

Also arc warlock in pvp is nuts with dead messenger

#

If you dead messenger and then do the blink melee it can one shot kill them

stasis lock isn’t that great in gms

#

awful against most champs

#

especially unstops

toxic peak
#

then they can use an unstop weapon

alpine glade
#

only gm id even slightly suggest it for would be glassway

#

but for every other gm there’s a subclass that’s 10x better

#

starfire well in gms is so so good

toxic peak
#

have u done lightblade with a stasis warlock on ur team

alpine glade
#

no because there’s no point

toxic peak
#

you get one shot in a well

alpine glade
#

by what

toxic peak
#

unless ur in a room with ads

toxic peak
alpine glade
#

if you’re running max resil which you should be and matching the element resist which you should be, you won’t die in well in one shot

toxic peak
#

alak hul one shot melees no matter what

alpine glade
#

this is not true

toxic peak
#

and his arc attack kills you faster than any regen

#

well normally he should never use his arc attack

alpine glade
#

when you cast well you are not anchored to the ground

toxic peak
#

yes

#

he will still hit you though

alpine glade
#

if you are being threatened in the well… walk away

toxic peak
#

then you die to adds

alpine glade
#

especially when you can tank 3 of alak hul’s shots

#

without well

toxic peak
#

i think well is fine

#

for easy gms like devils lair or arms dealer or fallen saber

alpine glade
#

tbh the team for lightblade should be invis aeons hunter 2x arc titan hoil

#

that’s the easiest clear you’ll ever get

toxic peak
#

thats true

#

i still think well and stasis lock are really good

alpine glade
#

but if i’m on warlock i’d be running well starfire or contra vortex

toxic peak
#

just arc titan and invis hunter are so good theres no reason to play anything else

alpine glade
#

because stasis doesn’t kill fast enough to make it worth it

toxic peak
#

the stasis makes up for its lack of kill potential with cc

#

especially if you have agers scepter (idk why you would run this in gms but you could ig)

alpine glade
#

cc not that great when the boss is sprint towards you in something like lightblade

#

you want to kill very quickly in that
