Best DPS Weapons

[plush ravine]

Have not played D2 in a while, I was curious what the best damage strats are in terms of weapons, and best DPS builds for hunter if anybody has any suggestions, thank you!

[dusk escarp]

Rockets + Ghally + Tractor are meta for mostly everything. A good starter if you don't have other options is Blowout from Shaxx. The best option is Apex Predator which is farmable this week in Last Wish

For Hunter specifically, you usually just want Star Eater Scales and either Blade Barrage or Gathering Storm. There are more complex rotations and strats, but that should be fine for 99% of things

[dense sky]

Also nighthawk

[solar marsh]

Banshee is selling Retrofit Escapade its a worthwhile expenditure of Deepsight Harmonizer

[silent surge]

lmg's are low and slow
even if a rocket is not enough, you could have fusion/merciless/horseman swap

[solar marsh]

And? Retro is still a damn good DPS option and no need to farm frames when you can just buy them from Banshee and use a Harmonizer

[sand spire]

What are u wafflin

[nocturne hill]

No

[cloud epoch]

back to Gjally, if you end up as the Gjally user you should try to grab a good Fusion Rifle or two to do extra damage with. I use a Techeun Force with Rewind Rounds, Controlled Burst, and Ionized battery so I dont reload

[sand spire]

eremite will do way more

its slightly better + its solar so your surges match

[shut pine]

no its not lmao

[charred hatch]

machine guns don't compare to rockets 💀 only in the fish mission you can argue that thunderlord is the better choice

[cloud epoch]

so true, I would only suggest Techeun for easy farms and crafting. rng is not my friend in this game 💀

[sand spire]

you can craft eremite and get the redboarders way easier?

its like 4 engramms for 1 eremite and u get one red guarenteed every week + 1 every like 5drops

and everyone has like 60-100 engramms anyways

[cloud epoch]

I was thinking of the wrong one biggest of brains lol

[nocturne hill]

those deepsight opaque cards help a lot

i bought the season pass a bit ago and got a crafted eremite the same day

[dense sky]

It is in fact not a damn good dps option

[silent surge]

for like the first week it existed maybe

[errant aspen]

@plush ravine get apex from last wish high Dps rocket

[hard pelican]

And what about linear fusion riffles?

[dense sky]

Not good either

[hard pelican]

Is whisper of the worm or two tailed fox with cat still good?

[dusk escarp]

Two-Tailed is good if you don't have a good legendary rocket. Whisper gets a lot of hate though, so I wouldn't use it on LFG purely out of the stigma

[hard pelican]

why hate?

I feel like beside apex predator there is no rocket rly for boss dps since it has bait and switch. All others seem to be for GMs.

Trying a good roll on hothead atm, but its taking quite long now

[nocturne hill]

two tailed isnt good anymore and whisper is king for precision bosses

[marble osprey]

Really bad

Lmgs are really bad for dps

[hard pelican]

But that mean nothing else than apex is good for boss dps?

[marble osprey]

Pretty much

Cold comfort> apex tho

[marble osprey]

Levi overtook that

Thats why people dislike whisper

[nocturne hill]

whisper is still S tier

can easily crack out 4-5 mil on oryx with it

still upset that whisper has so many ornaments when it looks its best without anything

[marble osprey]

S tier is pushing it

Ion even put levi in s tier

[marble osprey]

Not with a good team or in one phase

[nocturne hill]

its good situationally

[marble osprey]

A weapon with better potential is easier to get

[nocturne hill]

you get whisper and levi the exact same way

[marble osprey]

No

[nocturne hill]

yes you do 💀

[marble osprey]

Nope

[nocturne hill]

both come from lost light kiosk

[marble osprey]

Yes

[nocturne hill]

if you didnt do the mission, which most people probably didn't

[marble osprey]

Mhm

But not the catalysts

[nocturne hill]

i mean

whisper was easier to get

mainly because the old levi catalyst before it got fixed required you to get 1.5k kills

bonus points if you killed wrathborn

[marble osprey]

Yes but whisper is a waste of an exotic cypher

[nocturne hill]

kinda?

[marble osprey]

Whispers catalyst is rng

[nocturne hill]

i understand that its a bit of a waste but so are most other exotic weapons from the kiosk

so is levi's

[marble osprey]

No

No

[nocturne hill]

actually levi is based if you get kills with it

[marble osprey]

No

[nocturne hill]

No

[marble osprey]

U get it free out if a lost sector

[shut pine]

cold comfort

[shut pine]

field prep clown is pretty good

but obviously no where near as good as a bns rocket

[marble osprey]

Cold comfort can run anything apex can run and better

[nocturne hill]

apex can be crafted with enhanced perks

[marble osprey]

It doesn't compare to cold comfort for dps

[shut pine]

it actually does compare to apex for dps

it is very similiar

[marble osprey]

Not with a 4/5

[shut pine]

what

you only need a handling mw with impact casing and youre fine

[marble osprey]

There is a 300k per mag damage difference

[shut pine]

you can make the argument that with monochromatic this season apex is better

[marble osprey]

Arguments can be made but won't counter facts

Statistically cold comfort is better

[shut pine]

it is like 30k more dps

which is a lot but you need full setup for it

[marble osprey]

It still has better perks

[shut pine]

how does it have better perks bro

they are literally the same perks

[marble osprey]

envious >recon

[shut pine]

no its not bro 😭

recon is way better

its free atl for swaps

[marble osprey]

Envious in its current state is broken

[shut pine]

like i said cold comfort is better with the full setup

[marble osprey]

No boss has 1 long dps section so being able to get 6 rockets out fast is amazing

[shut pine]

but you cant say they dont compare

because they are very close

[marble osprey]

There are not many benefits to apex

Besides crafting

[shut pine]

"besides crafting"

monochromatic exists

better perk pool outside of boss dps exists

[dense sky]

It's not breaking d tier

[exotic estuary]

wudda hell

if no one has suggested it

cataclysmic

anyone saying anything here is kinda stupid and hard to read so if you want REALLY complicated damage strategies, and I mean REALLY complicated go watch Aegis

[exotic estuary]

.

[exotic estuary]

rhulk, oryx, ir yut, nezerac, explicator, gologoroth, warpriest, atheon, templar, taniks, consecrated mind

Simmumah, persys, caital, goa final boss, goa ogre, kell echo

legendary campaign calus, legenday campaign savathun

what have i not named

[silent surge]

lol your "s tier" is being able to match other existing legendaries when boss is very long phase and doesnt move

[nocturne hill]

wanna make out

[silent surge]

k

[exotic estuary]

😂 🫵

[nocturne hill]

you aint seeing the vision

[vestal flame]

wisper is C tier at best

levi is 2.7 mil with 140k average dps

wisper is 3.1 with 110 dps

[nocturne hill]

go read the book Brave New World by Aldous Hexley

[vestal flame]

i cant read sorry

[nocturne hill]

neither can i

[exotic estuary]

there is none

bait used to believable

[nocturne hill]

[exotic estuary]

i already know that
