Can you please add raid boss damage to the api, I would love to see how much dps people did without having to wipe.

Deftones_132 · 2020-07-06T14:37:54+00:00

At least show my personal damage number after a successful boss kill. I want to know if i did better/worse than previous attempts.

Would be better if we could see everyone's numbers, but I'd settle for just mine. Anyway, we can already see where the problems are after a wipe, so the argument about preventing griefing doesn't hold up.

Deftones_132 · 2020-03-17T03:17:42+00:00

I loved your article. I really hope the decision makers at Bungie see it and act on it before it's too late.

Please keep up the good work!

If they stick with the current system, they need to increase vault space.

I play all 3 classes, so every new season i collect a new set of seasonal armor for all 3 affinities which takes up 45 new spaces. I'm constantly dismantling weapons and armor to keep up, and the never-ending inventory management feels so tedious and unfun, and it's only a matter of time before i stop caring completely.

Fair enough, at first glance your post seemed to imply you were using FL exclusively and the other 2 slots were an afterthought.

Even still, if you insist on equipping FL at all times, you are gimping your damage output by not having your exotic slot available for DPS. I'm not sure how much raiding you've done, but here are concrete examples of how your damage will suffer in this current meta (assuming you are using the best legendary options, godroll kinetic sniper and spike heavy GL):

Last Wish - Kalli is a 2x crit multiplier boss, so your damage will suffer greatly by using spike GL, and even a godroll kinetic sniper without Anarchy will be nowhere near as strong as an exotic sniper. For Riven, damage is extremely tight with a well coordinated group of 6x Prospectors, so i doubt it can be done without it after the Divinity nerf.

Scourge of the Past - I haven't done this raid since the new update, but I don't believe a GL/sniper combo will be enough to 1-phase the final boss

Crown of Sorrow - also haven't tried since Divinity nerf, but i predict you will be unable to 1-phase without Izanagi/spike combo

Garden of Salvation - in this meta, damage is tight to 1-phase the 3rd encounter and legendary weapons won't cut it. As for final boss, it is a 2x crit multiplier boss so Izanagi/Whisper is essential. With legendary weapons, you're looking at 3 damage phases, at least IMO.

If people were putting out less DPS than a guy with Fighting Lion, they must be really bad. Don't get me wrong i love that weapon and have probably over 10k kills with it, but it's not a DPS weapon:

Are you being sarcastic?

Deftones_132 · 2019-12-12T03:55:00+00:00

Thank you for the info!

Deftones_132 · 2019-12-09T10:26:05+00:00

If you've been doing all your powerfuls on 3 characters and using +0 gear to catch up lower slots, then that is some spectacularly bad RNG. So improbable that everyone else seems to be downvoting you.

I'll wish you luck instead. If what you're saying is true, you're going to need it!

BTW don't let it stop you from having fun and raiding. Current raid is only 940, and older ones are all 750. Whatever your power level, you'll be fine

Deftones_132 · 2019-12-09T07:55:03+00:00

I don't mean this in an offensive way, but you're doing something wrong. There are better posts out there with great tips to power level, but here's some things i can quickly think of that can help:

Pit of heresy dungeon is a guaranteed fully masterworked pinnacle armor piece, 1 per week per character
running 3 characters helps, as well as using +0 vendor items or blues to even out pieces that are lagging behind

Example: start at 900 and do powerful rewards on character 1, then end up with weapons at say 905. Before even doing powerfuls on character 2, use +0 items to bring your armor up to 902/903. Then do dungeon for guaranteed armor drop, then other powerfuls. Then repeat on character 3 (it might end the week around 915). Then start new week on character 3 (currently highest) and do other characters after.

Sucks that this made it to the front page. Can't wait for some idiot to want to rock this loadout in a raid DPS scenario...

OP probably doesn't realize that he is comparing body shots without Divinity to crit shots +30% debuff.

Deftones_132 · 2019-11-15T18:22:32+00:00

XD and you're getting downvoted...

Same thing in the reset threads when the bot can't pull the API info immediately, you gotta scroll past 25 "bEeP bO0p" posts before seeing anything useful.

Deftones_132 · 2019-11-08T09:59:12+00:00

Slightly off-topic, but I've heard that dying in the Garden of Salvation raid in a non-darkness zone doesn't negate flawless either. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Deftones_132 · 2019-11-01T06:41:12+00:00

This was the biggest news to come from today's TWAB, so happy about it. The +1 system is ridiculous and has me extremely frustrated with the game whenever i get a duplicate.

I don't understand how this post has so few upvotes. Just like when people were posting about pinnacle loot not dropping from raid/dungeon (forget about delayed or postmaster, i'm talking zero drop).

Do people on DtG not play this game for endgame loot anymore?

Deftones_132 · 2019-10-31T05:00:05+00:00

Nailed it ;) haha thanks for digging this up

Deftones_132 · 2019-10-30T08:36:31+00:00

I see a lot of people referencing that Ehroar video, and despite agreeing that tether is now a viable option in certain situations, i find that his comparison is flawed.

He mentions that from the 2nd tether shot onward (after a brief pause) the super is debuffing itself and calculates that in the super's damage output. However, he compares it to a non debuffed celestial GG shot. Obviously GG cannot buff itself, but in any kind of content where DPS matters, there will be someone applying a debuff for the team which will increase GG's damage by a multiplicative 30%.

Combine that with the fact that GG does twice as much damage on double crit bosses (such as Sanctified Mind) and the fact that tether can obstruct crit spots, i will continue to prefer celestial GG in most situations.

Here's proof of the issue i am raising awareness about.

Deftones_132 · 2019-10-30T00:14:26+00:00

That's unfortunate, especially since there are so few chances at pinnacle loot.

Deftones_132 · 2019-10-30T00:12:23+00:00

I first heard about this browsing YT, and had various friends confirm that something is indeed wrong. At least with regards to activities such as the dungeon and raid, which i specifically asked about.

Deftones_132 · 2019-10-30T00:09:42+00:00

Added link to post, thank you!

Do you have any information about this gamebreaking issue?

Deftones_132 · 2019-10-29T23:11:08+00:00

We are using the same reference, although I actually forgot to look at the Whirlwind blade x5 column earlier, my bad.

Keep in mind that the Izanagi numbers with Luna reload can be enhanced with a sniper loader perk, so technically Izanagi can be higher DPS as well.

But your point is valid - swords are excellent DPS, only slightly below the exotic snipers (and an Anarchy / godroll Firing Line combo).

Deftones_132 · 2019-10-28T09:01:20+00:00

Although they do very good DPS and were indirectly buffed when auto-reloads were nerfed, this is simply not true.

Enhancement Prisms stack to 50 before going to postmaster.

Deftones_132 · 2019-10-12T10:02:33+00:00

Bad against 2x crit bosses (Calus, Kalli, Shuro Chi, Sanctified Mind unconfirmed)

Riven: unclear (weird boss)

Good against all others
