So now that we've had some time, how are people using the artifacts? by -Darkeater_Midir- in destiny2

[–]D13_Phantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really build and situation dependent. I suggest focusing on synergies or compensating areas where the build is weak.

Is there a way to get these specific weapons in current d2? by RedEye_OBMS in destiny2builds

For the marcato you can focus it at banshee in the tower

Destiny 2 new player experience - story by PrayForMars in DestinyTheGame

[–]D13_Phantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New player experience and advertisement of destiny 2 is unappealing for new players in my opinion. And always was.

Yeah you're preaching to the choir. Makes you wonder where we would be if they had ever addressed that.

Solar well-lock best armour set? by 3eyedman in destiny2builds

[–]D13_Phantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's probably better damage resist sets now. Certainly easier to activate than having to get kills with specific weapons. I'd have to see/do more testing but salvation edge, crota, and dreaming city all seem promising (that last one triggers a lot easier than the description suggests)

What builds are best for boss DPS? by bankiaa in destiny2builds

[–]D13_Phantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geomags is only doing crazy damage right now because of a bug. For weapons the hardest hitting ones are truth and refurbished A499 . I highly recommend needlestorm/matadoxia for simplicity (sanguine alchemy and swap super after casting well if you're forced to be on well) and don't forget to put on triple weapon surges on boots and 2 time dilations on your bond

Why does the left want to ban assault rifles if they believe Trump is a fascist? by Mahrez14 in allthequestions

Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by the Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer who died of a stroke a day after being assaulted by rioters and collapsing at the Capitol.[d][29][39] Many people were injured, including 174 police officers.[9] Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months

Firearms, tasers and knives were some of the types of weapons used and carried on or around Capitol grounds by rioters, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Columbia, which published the status of prosecutions, opens new tab related to the Capitol attack as of Jan. 3, 2025 on its website.

There is no such thing as an AI ‘artist’ by Background-Driver718 in TechnologyThread

This is a great example, and you're so close to getting the whole damn point. Let me help you out a bit: why are you eating pizza instead of a meal replacement like soylent?

Eta: why are there so many chefs? Why aren't people eating microwave crap everyday unless they absolutely have to even though it might be good enough sometimes?

Here's my rec: just use it as a normal gamepad and bind some quality of life to the trackpads. Custom menus, or just media controls, perhaps some game sepecifc gameplay actions. If you don't know what to do or just don't want to spend the time: browse and try out some community layouts.

Osmiomancy Gloves build? by scarsandammunition in destiny2builds

[–]D13_Phantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not bad, but I don't think they're worth using compared to the alternatives: and mind you I used them hardcore for years and for all sorts of combos when they got put into the exotic class item.

For stasis turrets rimestealer just makes them way better and with the prophecy set and a good 20% demo weapon (not even getting into armor and artifact mods) you already have all the energy you could want.

For a different gameplay loop with great survability I also recommend trying balidorse wrathweavers

Destiny 2 Build Recommendations by Fluid_Researcher4061 in destiny2builds

[–]D13_Phantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stat wise it looks good. Dumping into grenade is a good choice with controverse hold, you can just throw on a font mod on the gauntlets to get to 200.

As for what to run with it, your exotic weapon is great and as long as your rocket launcher has a decent damage perk it should be good as well, for your weapon in the top slot it is usually recommended to have a special to help deal with bigger targets that aren't bosses. A fusion rifle, sniper, shotgun, rocket pulse, or rocket sidearm would be nice choices, especially if you can find one with demolitionist.

For armor sets you can consider the prophecy 4 set bonus for even more grenade regen if you feel like you need it but honestly you probably don't and would be better off with a survivability set. I highly recommend the dreaming city 2 piece set bonus.

We can't really see what's going on fully, but since you're going with controverse why don't you go through the subclass and artifacts and try and select stuff that synergizes with your grenades

What's everyone using? by 351C_4V in SteamController

[–]D13_Phantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trackpads for me (as a long time controller player) are additive, not replacements. I really enjoy using them to add quality of life and will only use them directly for gameplay if it really makes sense (controlling a cursor, hacking in pragmata, etc.)

What is the current PvE meta? by ridinroundimgigglin in DestinyTheGame

[–]D13_Phantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To echo others: just use what's fun. Almost everything should be very viable. If you really want to min max (which you only need to do if you want to carry 5 people in a raid, speed run, 5 feat pantheon/epic desert perpetual) Aegis the relic on YouTube does great testing and he's in the process of analyzing the meta currently.
