I do not much damage when using the same gun other people use and I am wondering how?

steady ocean
#

supers, exotics, weapon swaps

#

Izzy Rocket is the best thing rn for dps

primal garnet
#

It depends on the weapons loadout and what subclass you pair it with . Izi rockets swap for example without any exotic armor pieces is best on strand

#

What class do you play?

shoot the boss! hope this helps you are a king gg

urban narwhal
#

like the only times you would use anything different would be like cold comfort + rdms on hunter

urban narwhal

#

we love shooting the boss

#

especially with weapons not wet tissues

primal garnet
#

You can dump thy load much quicker

urban narwhal
#

yea but the loadout stays the same

#

I'm very aware that strand rotations are slightly different

primal garnet
#

But you get 2 more rockets in the 10 second window that BnS is active 😂

urban narwhal
#

yea

#

doesn't change loadout

#

no idea why you said it does

primal garnet
#

I don’t think you’re following. Maybe you need some dps rotation tips as well

urban narwhal
#

thanks for insulting me

#

really helpful here 💀

primal garnet
#

You’re a hunter you have it easy

urban narwhal
#

what the yap 🤡

primal garnet
#

Damage supers check

#

Damage exotics check

#

Reload skip class ability check

#

I’m a titan player okay … I’m jealous is alll

urban narwhal
#

I don't even regulary play hunter 💀

primal garnet
#

Always get highest damage numbers on any raid boss except sanctified mind

urban narwhal
#

if anything hunter should be hitting highest dmg on sanc 😭

primal garnet
#

That boss always give me immune because of weird hitbox

steady ocean
#

as a warlock main, we can feel good that we out dps hunters that aren't good

primal garnet
#

I out dps hunters and warlocks alike as a titan but not bcz titans in general are better at dps (strand melee) but because people suck

steady ocean
#

agreed

primal garnet
#

Some people don’t even use boss spec or boot surges / chest reserves

#

Targeting mod on a rocket goes hard 😂

#

i generally dont use surges or boss spec and still out dps others

#

I keep getting surprised by thinking I activated bait and switch and yet it didn't
no idea why

u miss your shots?

it matters with your other weapons to proc bns

visual mural
#

yes surges are cool, but in almost none of the content do you need it, since boss healt is generally low

primal garnet

#

oh noes, did you lookie at my raid reportie in my bio?

primal garnet
#

6 people doing 22% more damage each is a lot it’s as if you have a 7th member in the team and can make a huge different in beefy bosses or underpowered content

visual mural
#

i know how surges work my guy

primal garnet
#

Well then I’ll assume math wasn’t your favorite subject at school

visual mural
#

it wasnt, not but again, you dint need surges, none of the normal bosses do, and on master i do put them on

#

as long as you kinda know how to dps at all youll be perfectly fine in any normal raid and dungeon

little hearth
#

actually
wait
if I rocket the ground and it explodes onto the boss, does that not proc bns :x

primal garnet
#

It’s does

#

The have last radius

visual mural
#

it does, but if you miss your other weapons it doesnt

primal garnet
#

Something we agree on 🙂

visual mural
#

if you knew how to dps you would also agree that surges dont really matter in normal runs

#

yes, if you want to juice your dps you can put on tripe surge, triple reserve, lumina, have someone on tractor, put on reload stuff, have a damage super and everything, and yes youll get a nice and high number

#

but if you just do a casual run you do not need that

primal garnet
#

Casual runs can only be done with friends. You go on lfg and you’re doing warpriest and you have people who do sub 1 mill damage

#

That’s suffering enough I don’t need 3-4 phases for that

#

Or to be stuck 2 hours in a raid

#

Lfg is bad as it is

visual mural
#

if you do sub 1 mil on anything you are doing sth wrong, but you dont need surges to do 3mil+ or more on norma

visual mural
primal garnet
#

On master Crota this week I did 8.9 mill the second highest was 4.1 .. don’t get me started on the absolute lowest on the team and it wasn’t even the tractor oversoul person

#

Lfg sucks it’s no fun

visual mural
#

yeah, im glad i found another server with doods to just raid with whenever

primal garnet
#

Lfg is a conflip

visual mural
#

with one side of the coin being noobs and the other side being incredibly toxic people

primal garnet
#

Toxic or speedrun addicts

little hearth
#

legit get surprised how cool people are sometimes
did a ron sherpa, filled 1 from lfg. they were a sweat speed runner with no mic, they stuck it out through so many cringe wipes with no mic and no cares

visual mural
#

sherpa runs are different

#

sherpa runs are generally chill because everyone accepts that it will not go super smooth because there is people learning

primal garnet
#

I joined a Crota Sherpa the other day teaching 2 and two other guys joined hardcore speed runners the new guys learned nothing and they even net limited Crota and if yut

visual mural
#

thats cringe af

#

if i join a sherpa run i usually keep away from mechanics and am just there to help with dps or mechaincs in case we get stuck

#

but if you join a sherpa to just speedrun through it you are not welcome in those runs

#

i also always ask before joining if they are okay with someone who already knows the raid very well, and only join if they allow it

little hearth
#

ehh it's always good to have some who are really good at the raid

primal garnet
#

It was the sherpas fault to be honest he didn’t protest or kick them

little hearth
#

like a couple wipes happen but it's nice having people who can recover a run so you're not always wiping 10 seconds in
or like all 3 don't know where to run in vog or whatever

visual mural
#

yeah, if you are a good sherpa you need to be able to stand your ground, put the learners on the actual roles and make them actually learn, not just carry

visual mural
#

hah, get characterlimited

little hearth
#

ughhh

#

oh for sure
I just think it's smoothest when like 1-3 learners, not like 5

#

you want people to learn roles, but you get a better sense of it and a fulfillment if ppl getting to later phases and wiping to inefficiency or deaths rather than getting stuck early often.

visual mural
#

yeah, 5 learners is not good for anyone involved

#

because usually there is not that many roles so people will be on addclear and not properly learn, plus if you fail too much (like you said) it get discouraging and people lose interest in raiding

#

first impressions are important, always. same thing applies to raids if your sherpa run goes bad youll have a bad impression about that raid

little hearth
#

yeah

primal garnet
#

I did a 5 man Sherpa for vow absolute blueberries had never even seen a video of the raid

#

Had some 5 and a half hours but embed victorious

visual mural
#

jeez

#

usually only day 1s go above like 3 hours (maby low mans for the first time depending on how well i knew the strats for that)

#

i just dont have the endurance for that long of a run...

primal garnet
#

They did great on caretaker and acquisition but man o man they were confused at at exhibition

#

I showed them maps of the layout and even videos and I was even dying on every room to do nut again the next room

visual mural
#

exhibition is the hardest part of that raid to learn thoug

primal garnet
#

Exhibition is a lfg bottleneck

visual mural
#

cuz it only goes smoothly if everyone knows the spawns and stuff

urban narwhal
#

keep limiting in farms and not random ass lfgs

visual mural
#

only limit it everyone on the team is on board with it, otherwise its not okay

urban narwhal
visual mural
#

i am an avid limiting hater, but i also know you cant keep those that are doing it from doing it

#

i just hope they contain themselves to their peers

celest root
#

preferably have the entire team report that person
