#

which one would be better

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

palmyra if you dont have a crafted bump.

blowout is ok but you can save up vanguard engrams for a hothead, which has better stats.

#

theyre both decent but neither is top tier

outer folio Apr 21, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

blowout would be top tier then?

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

no

ornate dragon Apr 21, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

Blowout would be better

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

blowout would be better than palmyra, but you're comparing arc with stasis

ornate dragon Apr 21, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

I don't see how that's all too important

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

id say ignore blowout entirely, and go for a hothead, since theyre both arc, but hothead has better stats

regal root Apr 21, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

blowout is just as good as hothead

#

blowout and hothead are the 2 dps meta kingda right now

#

it blowout was that bad i dont think people would be using it to solo nez, which the hardest part about it is dps

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

perk pool for blowout is a lot larger than hothead, and engrams are probably harder to come by.

go for hothead.

outer folio Apr 21, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

what if we assume both weapons have explosive light on them tho

#

bcs from what read hothead is just the easier one to get a god roll on

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

they're pretty interchangeable with the same roll.
I did a bit more research on it and ye its just a lot easier to get a good HH than a good blowout.

#

Also

#

what does the stasis element do? I havent noticed any stasis shields

#

(returning player here)

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

it was the first darkness power introduced back in Beyond Light.
I dont recall seeing any stasis shields either, but one thing both darkness powers (stasis and strand) have in common

#

is immobilizing enemies. stasis can freeze large groups, strand can suspend large groups.

outer folio Apr 21, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

So stasis RL will freeze targets if they don't die?

#

same for strand suspension I'd assume

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

not always. if you get one with the perk Chill Clip, then yes.

outer folio Apr 21, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

Ah, I see

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:45 PM

#

mostly found on fusion rifles and RLs

outer folio Apr 21, 2023, 11:45 PM

#

That makes them ultimately inferior to weapons which can match enemy shield elements then? (w/o their freeze perks)

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:45 PM

#

suspend comes from artefact perks and subclass builds atm, but strand is still in its infancy.

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:46 PM

#

outer folio That makes them ultimately inferior to weapons which can match enemy shield elem...

used to be the case but matchgame was removed when lightfall launched.

#

so shields arent really an issue now

outer folio Apr 21, 2023, 11:47 PM

#

w8 w8 so now all dmg types deal the same damage to shields?

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:47 PM

#

well, no.
unmatched damage types will deal 50% less damage to shields.

#

across the board, from strikes to master raids and GMs

outer folio Apr 21, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

So it's still relevant-ish, counting the shield explosion too

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

so, its still worth bringing a matching weapon element, but not 100% necessary anymore

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

ye exactly

#

Got it

#

Thanks man, appreciated

graceful fox Apr 21, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

NW, have fun

regal root Apr 22, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

it's easier to get a blowout technically

#

you naturally get like 20 resets from iron banner and trials and a few crucible games

#

where as vanguard rep is a bit more difficult to farm

#

so farm blowout imo

forest shoal Apr 22, 2023, 10:05 AM

#

blowout is better

#

palmyra is hakke tracking frame, which intrinsically deals 20% less dmg than adaptive frames

wary roost Apr 22, 2023, 10:22 AM

#

can you still get blowout?

#

havent gotten it from crucible in a while

golden pewter Apr 22, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

Yeah

#

Palmyra is 22.2% worse than blowout in terms of base damage and doesn’t get EL (it gets LI which is the same damage buff but can fail in certain scenarios)

#

Hothead and adept hothead are mildy statistically better than blowout and they roll with ALH which blowout misses out on

#

But if you’re on starfire than demo/el is still a perfect god roll and FP is good if you don’t want to bother with hotswapping

#

The elements of them don’t matter all too much, aside from nightfall burns in which case crafted bump is better because of its frame

outer folio Apr 23, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

Palymara can get EL tho

warm sphinx Apr 23, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

All these people are spewing the only viable rockets (not including surges) are hothead and blowout. Blowout can't get ALH and has a little worse stats (it really doesn't matter) but is way easier to farm than hothead

#

If you want demo explosive go blowout (it will make your life a lot easier than farming strikes) if you want ALH explosive go hothead

#

Source: me (has the last 4 day 1 raids) and my friends (2 have cleared solo nez, 1 has done planets)

#

Oh and if U want field prep clown U need to farm hothead too

#

My friend has done 600 strikes this season with no ALH explosive hothead because bad rng with only 1 perk column

golden pewter Apr 23, 2023, 1:00 PM

Yup
