J.A.B.C. posted:Grenades are decent in ad-heavy areas, until you get a Curtain Call or Sins of the Past, which cluster rockets do just fine and also are rocket launchers. Snipers are okay, but really should be back in Energy Weapon, as they end up running out of ammo super-fast and are kinda poo poo against ads. Sword is a situational weapon, when you have to lay down a lot of damage at a single melee-range enemy (Dogs in the raid, for instance) but kinda useless against bosses due to their consistent AoE attacks at close range. Ever since I got a Tarantula (Linear with quick ADS) from Io turn ins, and then did the Blue story postgame quest for the Man o War (Moving Target). I've been using the Man o War a hell of a lot between rocket launchers (Though I've been goofing off with the Morrigan-D rather than my non raid cluster launchers). 14 shots. Lets me reach out and gently caress someone up from a distance standard fusions like the much beloved Merciless can't deal with. It's got a shorter regular rifle style zoom which means it's way easier to use off the cuff than a sniper rifle. It also feels really cool to be using it as a murderous magical spaceman. The damage is less impressive on a body shot than a regular fusion. But I can nail the crit spot of strike bosses or minibosses from basically anywhere. And with 14 ammo, I can afford to use it out of spite on stuff like Yellow Vex Hobgoblins and other mid tier yellows that are just being a pain in the rear end. I'm always jealous of the Sins of the Past when it's used to absolutely nuke something. But I always feel better about my Man o War again eventually. Basically, on top of making me feel more like a magical space commando. Linear Fusions just feel well rounded enough to never regret bringing most of the time. Though I do swap over to stuff more suited to close up spamming if the boss won't essentially laugh at you bringing it. Like the poor bastards I see trying to use Merciless on the final boss of Savathun's Song having 90% of their salvos hit the damage proof buffers. I did get a new Linear Fusion drop from the expansion, but I don't like it. The Crooked Fang has worse range and gunplay stats. Plus backup plan while being highly praised on regular fusions, feels kind of wasted on a gun designed for you to stop and line up a critical shot with. Though I'm sure people who are in the "I never miss a crit, body shots are for babies  " club may like it. Quick ADS and Moving Target are generally better served for Linear regardless due to needing to land multiple shots on tougher yellows that can survive a Sins of the past shot.EDIT: Also Ashir Mir was finally starting to grow on me with his more outlandish tantrums, then he hands me two Linear Fusions in the same day. So my fanfiction is Guardian makes it a point to use Io brand power weapons to murder the poo poo out of the Vex. Or was that using the Drang to murder the poo poo out of the Vex to get revenge for Failsafe? Nice thing about alternate timeline Alts. You get to kill Vex brains in several thematic ways.

Kessel posted:I have this problem with Sunshot. Datto et al. are definitely correct in calling it a top-tier handcannon for PvP as well as PvE but the way the entire model bounces up after every shot and blocks the sight picture makes it quite difficult for me to actually land all precision shots at a 150 rpm cadence. If your monitor has a crosshair overlay option use it. It makes Shattered Peace my favorite gun in pvp.

I must be the only one who thinks the Calus shader is gaudy and lame as gently caress. Only good use I found for it is on my Lost Pacific Titan set, cause nothing else makes you look like a NASA murdernaut.

I feel like people don't give pulse rifles enough love in pvp, they are far and above my go to weapons. I've been running with the Autumn Wind and then ether the Last Hope or the Sunshot as my backup close range weapon. I mean come on look at this sweet gun.

Gonna hock that Perseverance auto rifle itt again. And that phosphorous SMG. Dynamic Sway Reduction is a sweeeeeet perk; I don’t know if they changed it much from Persistence in D1, but it’s mighty nice to have your groups tighten as you hold down the trigger.

i got a pair of Darkest Before pulse rifles and they seem totally insane. My first MWK weapon was an easy choice but now im trying to decide on what to do for my Kinetics and I'm just completely paralyzed with indecision. Do I just pick one character and do all her guns first or should I just spread the MWK love around? I love my Warlock but "maining" doesn't really make sense in this game with the way milestones and gear swapping works. It's probably gonna be my Midnight Coup or my Forward Path Also Trials is so weird man. my goon crew got 6 wins in a row, then we went up against a 4 stack in basically full flawless gear, lost, and then got another potato sack team. OoVee was lamenting so hard "WYYYYYY COULDNT YOU BE OUR LAST ROUND!@!!!" it was amazing. The key to Trials, unlike the other PvP modes, is that if you dont have a rock-solid PLAN you have no chance. Call-outs and so forth are clutch, but for example this week as PoemDexter taught us it's all about controlling the central river via the Heavy Ammo. If you keep them off heavy they have no choice to flank via chokepoints which makes teamshotting a breeze, and basically the only games we lost all day were the games where the enemy team did that better than we did.

I went with the Golden Trace shader on my Titan because it's a carbon fiber and gold metallic trim. It makes my Titan look like a sportscar in Dubai. I went with Nebula Rose for my Warlock because pink space wizard.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/240599985 Hey all, Throughout the weekend, we’ve been monitoring player feedback concerning the recently added Three of Coins consumable offered by Xûr. We’d like to give clarification on the functionality of this item: When players use a Three of Coins consumable, this provides a 50% increase to the base chance of being rewarded an Exotic Engram upon activity completion. Using this consumable does not guarantee an Exotic reward upon completing a set number of activities – but rather increased chances upon each activity completion. Note: We have found that Heroic Strikes do not currently grant higher chances for Exotics when using Three of Coins consumables, compared to Vanguard Strikes. We’re looking to address this with a future Hotfix, expected in early 2018. We will continue to monitor and forward feedback concerning this feature throughout the holiday season. Keep it coming! Later this week, we’ll have notes from the development team on additional feedback items that we’re looking to address in the future. Stay tuned. Cheers, -dmg04 i don't know what an 'activity' entails (literally anything?), but i don't know if this is right. i ran heroic PE's for like three hours and didn't see a single exotic.

I didn't see one either for adventures/PEs/strikes until the 3oc ran out. It's just broken and Bungie is going default Bungie by being opaque about it. Best deal for you is to just not get 3 of coins and play the game as before

Eej posted:I've been playing Hunter so much that my aim is thrown off playing any other class with under 4 mobility. I'm the Titan hunting for Mobility armour. The Titan recovery sets can easily give you 4 mobility without throwing your Resilience and Recovery in the garbage. Then have a few points of freebie Mobility, along with saying "gently caress it, +2 mobility instead of Recovery" for the helmet and legs. I'm getting 3 mobility default even without anything switched to "Even MORE mobility instead of Recovery, please." EDIT: I'm probably miss remembering exact numbers, but I know I get 3 mobility minimum while my "get shot at" stats are still nice. While I love my Noble Constant (Resilience for Titans) that Ikora now has had no choice but to finally give me the arms for (the occasions I'm not using Synthoceps), I'm actually fond of the Kerak type 2 set as my recovery fashion. Bonus that it feels like the Crucible chest pairs well with the rest of Kerak. I only like the chest and butt cape for some reason when it comes to the titan crucible gear. Of course, if you are chasing a mobility set for variety? Try going full NASA with the Titan arcology set. Section Z fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Dec 18, 2017 |

Then have a few points of freebie Mobility, along with saying "gently caress it, +2 mobility instead of Recovery" for the helmet and legs. I've got two Resilience mods, and one recovery mod for my Titan (Helmet, legs, Mark) which means I can have either 3/6/7, or 4/6/6. I either have to accept 3 mobility or go full ham on mobility because 5-6 recovery is wasted stat points you could put into literally anything else. I guess you could do 4/6/4 but why not just go 6/4/4 and accept the need for speed

Control Volume posted:The second I heard resilience makes fuckall difference in PVE I've been hunting for mobility armor on everything lol  It also just bugs me to have either my recovery or resilience worse than 5 whatever spreadsheets say. Though I'm fairly sure everybody agrees that 2 recovery before purple mods is garbage. I mean, Jesus. Before mods, even if I set all four toggles to mobility my Warlock wearing Resilience armor is still 4/5/4. A Titan resilience set can have up to 5 Recovery before mods. Hunter resilience sets without mods? Oh, you get 0-2 Recovery. Holy poo poo, mother loving ZERO, but at least you'll have 8 mobility to go with 5 resilience in that case, right?

You want 4 resilience to avoid getting 4 shot by Scout Rifles and after that go ham. 6 Resilience moves 140rpm HCs from 2 crits/2 body shots to 3 crits/1 body shot to kill.
