Roaming supers are also generally a lot more powerful than one-and-done ones. Running around with a repeatable instakill attacks and big damage resistance is generally gonna get you more kills than "press butan and instantly oneshot everyone on the control point", unless the enemy team groups up a ton.

In my head the best use of a cancel super is to obliterate a roaming super. That's why I call them cancel supers.  Every once in a while you get lucky unleashing hell on a control point but players these days are a lot better about clumping than they once were.

Hunters are Bungie's special boy, don't expect their poo poo to ever get fixed. Or if it is, there will be some new ridiculously OP bullshit that they get to replace the current bullshit.

Destiny's sacred cows are hunters, hand cannons, and shotguns. Nothing will ever be done to seriously reign them in.

Shatterdive is totally out of line so expect a nerf to it sooner or later but the rest of the Stasis hunter kit is just OK. Shurikens got done real dirty actually, they should have their damage nerfed but kept their tracking.

Me: So, titans Everyone, whole two pages: PVP is for Hunters and Warlocks Me:  xzzy posted:Destiny's sacred cows are hunters, hand cannons, and shotguns.

IMO the sacred triumvirate of weapons are Snipers, Shotty, and Hand Cannons because they are the cowboy booyah gun archetypes and are deadass satisfying to use

I've never really liked using snipers or scouts in this game. But there might be credibility to yeehaw theory, cause Dead Man's Tale is one of the most satisfying guns to use in the entire game.

Anyone got pulse rifle recommendations? Kinetic and Energy, PVP lean, but never hurts to have one for PVE as well. I've been lacking in a go-to after Blast Furnace got sunset.

It's more than 20% and it's in a burst around you. The cooldown of 3 seconds doesn't matter because it's trials.

Cheers on the pulse recommends. Trials is being mean to me and not giving me The Messenger. I've gotten a copy of every other weapon and a bunch of armor now. Already have the 7 wiin and round win engrams for the week.... e: I like Darkest Before (Nine/Propehcy) but my rolls are pretty meh.

Stars in Shadow is always pretty useful as a pulse, especially with the confluence of Solar bounties and Unstoppable Pulse Rifle this season. The only other Solar weapons I have in rotation right now are Duality, the new Auto and Heir Apparent.

Man, The Corrupted is pretty annoying in Hero Nightfall. The boss was just throwing it's shield up again so quickly. Bobby Deluxe posted:Weren't there rumours that one of bungie's senior team is a major pistol afficionado who was making it really hard to balance handcannons and sidearms? I also feel like Sidearm exotics have been kinda rare and ho-hum? Travelers Chosen and Devils Ruin feel like the closet thing to stand-outs. Now that I think of it, make the Halo 1 pistol into an exotic in Destiny 2.

Sidearms have always been a sneaky good option, the full auto and 3 round burst types are really good guns. And I think Bungie is not allowed to make any reference Halo at all in their games, that's the best explanation I got for why vehicles in Destiny are so loving bad when they wrote the book on how to do FPS vehicles right. And why there are no Halo related easter eggs.

I love love LOVE sidearms. Lonesome and the Seventh Seraph sidearm are often in my rotation. Haven't really tried the burst fire ones; burst fire isn't usually my thing (though I use Pulse Rifles just fine). Full auto. . . I prefer having an accurate, pinpoint sidearm rather than spray and pray. ROF with semi-autos are usually good enough for me.

ROF isn't the issue with sidearms, it's the CTS inducing button spam you have to use to get sidearms to hit their optimal ttk. They should all be full auto, just with different ROF.

There's a huge gulf in Sidearm usability between Controller, 30 FPS and Mouse+Keyboard, 60+ FPS which influences their place in the meta.

As a new trials player last week was a really fun intro and I got some good loot. This week is round after round of three stacks hip firing thorn headshots from scout rifle range, ending the round in less than a minute. Fun while it lasted I guess.
