The main argument for merging threads is that as goons wisen up and stop giving Bungie money, the goon destiny community shrinks and it can't really keep two threads alive anymore.

The reason it got so messy before is because the mod oversight was nonexistant and a few spicy individuals made it their life's goal to own the other side.

I actually am getting to the point where i dislike them because they feel like a mod tax for PVE content. They are far away the best option that it feels like you HAVE to run one of each (minor, major, boss ,concussive) and you can't choose to use the other mods that boost stats.

A bit of effort posting:
Minor/Major/Boss
x1 - 10.00%
x2 - 17.86%
x3 - 23.58%
x4 - 27.16%
x5 - 30.00%

Concussive Dampener
x1 - 15.00%
x2 - 27.75%
x3 - 38.59%
x4 - 47.80%
x5 - 55.63%

Elemental Resists
x1 - 5.00%
x2 - 9.75%
x3 - 14.26%
x4 - 18.55%
x5 - 22.62%

I have seen people make the argument that you really want that x4+ Concussive Dampener sense it works on Boss Stomp, Grenades, Boomer Shots, Hydra shots, and anything else that does splash damage. And a 50 percent reduction is HUGE.

You should probably never use an elemental resist, you will get more bang for your buck using pretty much any other mod. (it still give you more than a resistance mod would though)

That is how that works? I need to do some testing when I get home...

Optimal loadout for general situations is probably 1 each of Minor/Major/Boss, which gives you a flat 10 percent against everything in PVE, and then 2 Concussive Dampener which will give you a stacking 27 percent for a total of a 3rd of damage resistance against a whole lot of stuff.

Also the now deprecated Fallen/Hive knights stack too for another 20 percent. (and they stacked with each other when applicable for when you fight a Taken Hive for 36 percent) Also i forget to mention Striking Light which gives you 25 percent when running.

Per Bungie, don't uninstall the game on any platform in spite of needing to re-download everything next week, overwriting files will be faster.

Is there a link where this stuff is getting compiled for those of us with no patience to do arg stuff actually cause I'm stupid?

Not until it gets a catalyst, no.

They like to trickle out a catalyst or two per season. It'll get one ... eventually! Maybe next week, maybe 2023

This is what they've got so far. I live for those hot Clarity Control references.

Pretty sure that they're wrong at the start though, and the entry is written by Clovis not Maya. It's referencing things in his diary, which presumably she wouldn't have read. Also, it just reads like a sociopath wrote it.
