So I haven’t played destiny 2 since the witch season and like the start of the light fall season and I looked at some beginner videos because it seemed like so much has changed but all they say is use the portal and I’m using the portal but I still don’t understand what build I should be going for

#

Or what weapon or rolls I need to keep an eye out for and stuff like that. Also I don’t know what I should do with all of my old exotics because I love using them but some of the videos said all of my relics (my old gear) is trash

#

Now, And also I see that my old gear just says the power level and the new gear says like grenadier or brawler and stuff like that which I feel like might be better than the gear I mastered before but I have no clue. If anyone could help me out that would be

#

great. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

old weapons aren't intrinsically bad due to not being tiered loot

#

lot of old builds are still very viable, like getaway prism, solar wormgod, prism hunter with inmost cyrt and so on

tiered armor has a main and secondary stat, which are always determined by the archetype (grenadier/brawler and so on), and a random tertiary stat, everything else is at 0 base points

#

masterworking new armor only raises the 0 base point stats

#

armor of the highest tier (tier 5) comes with base 75 stats (30 primary 25 secondary 20 tertiary) and a randomly selected "tuning stat"

#

those armor pieces have an extra stat slot that you can use to either raise the 0 base point stats by 1 each, with no drawbacks, or raise the tuned stat by 5 while sacrificing 5 points in a stat of your choice

#

the stats related to each archetype are shown in the icon of the archetype

#

i'd say you should keep your old exotics until we can get tier 5 exotics

#

seeing as the best you can get is a 63 stat total for now (30 primary 23 secondary 10 tertiary)
