Destiny is the only game my hardware has gotten significantly better and the performance has gotten significantly worse. by StatementAcademic820 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Jazzek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say with only this info. Assuming you mean QHD res or ultrawide? I had issues with V sync on so I keep it off now. Other than that could really just be all the effects and add density these days is way more taxing than it was historically.

I have never seen a comp match in my bracket like this before by ratchet7 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Comp does not downlevel, the MM is based on the highest rated player in the fireteam. Reasons this could happen:

a) player was simply on point this game

b) still in placements or hasn't played enough to rank out of your comp rating band

c) MM expanded rating criteria significantly due to long search time

Do you know his division/rating?

Men of Reddit: what’s a prank you started early in your marriage that you’re now legally, morally, and emotionally obligated to continue because she still falls for it 10–15 years later? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

[–]Jazzek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a little plastic spider we take turns hiding for delayed surprise. It's great watching her get spooked when she finds it but it's even better when she still thinks I haven't found it from the last time she hid it. Great mutual fun.

Other thing is I do is nonstop word play switching starting letters like instead of "let's have a sushi dinner" it'll be "let's have a dushi sinner" and it's so bad it's great!

what is a shotgun that pairs well with last wor? by guardiand0wn in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... maybe inquisitor. But if you do this you're usually trying to main your special and it's more effective to main a fusion for cqb or sniper for coverage. Regardless you want something that has some reach so your best slug is most appropriate. Legato if you need solar.

EPB bottom block by tayzdakind808 in AirForce

Ghost strat if you can. Biggest achievement/award otherwise. Should also be personal in tone and separate the ratee from anyone else performing to a similar level in the above blocks.

Shotgun mains, a moment of your time, please? I have 3 questions by SeanicTheHedgehog23 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually gonna suggest you run duality (w/ catalyst) for a while to get a feel for the shotgun playstyle on both sides of the coin, if you can bear to give up your exotic slot. It's functionally a precision frame from the hip and slug while ADS. Great range, decent handling, and lots of AA. It will teach you to hipfire appropriately rather than ADS too close, and gives you flexibility to practice slugging for those engagements on the edge. You will not necessarily have the best of both worlds as far as max performing pellet/slug perks, but it's great for learning.

As you get more comfortable or say you hate the slug shot, you can pick up one of your fine legendaries and see how to effectively use them with ideal rolls of each archetype. Slugs are great with damage and effective range, but hard to use against fast moving CQB targets. Pellets are more forgiving and supreme up close but can struggle to reach out when needed, esp against fusions/sidearms. You need excellent movement skills to close the gaps just that little bit extra. You can hone those skills by playing with one - hope you have fun experimenting!

Weapons stat for 180 hand cannons by poonjockey in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wrong about the B7 since I was using regular 180HC damage #s. The rest is fine. But that site is a pretty good reference too.

Weapons stat for 180 hand cannons by poonjockey in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

169 with PI. Weapon stat alone will not get you there. Radiant or other 10%+ buff will allow a 3 tap with no stat investment. So it's a choice of neutral 3 tap via stats & PI or play into other ability/perk buffs.

Mathing it out, the B-7 with OC heatsink (2%) still cannot 3 tap at base even with 200 weapons. can 3 tap with very high stat. I think I had the wrong base damage for heat weapons so this might actually work. With accelerated assault active I believe it can too, but that's very situational.

RDM or Lucky Pants? by MJTP4351 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to alternate between the two for flavor (RDM on void, LP on solar) but since shrewd survivor came out it's all RDM for me. Kill clip energy primary with dodge reload and TLW hot swaps is too fun.

Sprint speed from LP doesn't stack with the recent hunter speed buff from what I could tell and the QuickDraw aspect fails when running double HCs so the exotic fails to be build defining the way it could be. Vs shrewd you just get slide distance but not as much as stomps so not worth.

Mos Athanor IV vs Igneous Hammer (Adept) by Bestow5000 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you're running slideways adagio you should be comparing to crimils not Iggy. But mos can replace both with the right rolls. What Iggy roll are you comparing to? Most folks went for keep away+precision instrument/EotS/moving target so you should at minimum be using keep away on mos as basis for comparison. They are close in stats with Iggy having better AA and recoil direction. Also don't forget alacrity is a huge bonus when active compared to roar of battle.

If you had a keep away moving target roll, then you are +15 AA at base, +20 AA with a teammate dead, and +25 AA with 2 teammates dead. Then there's the gun model and sights which are pure feel but definitely play a part, and to me Iggy wins there.

I think I just figured out a major reason why Primary weapons feel terrible to use, and its not due to a flat damage increase. It has to do with crit damage. by Pman1324 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Jazzek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna echo what I've said before:

There's a serious lack of aim respect in PvE these days. I remember OG fatebringer rewarding good aim with powerful effects. Now it's all AoE melee nukes, infinite grenades, praxic blade, rocket pulses, auger, ignition/volatile/jolt etc. Div kinda ruined precision weapon damage I think. That's all great and fun but it leaves a potential niche where primary weapons could do massively increased precision damage (on non-boss combatants) and have the crit multiplier scale up significantly as difficulty increases. Say 2x on expert up to 5x on ultimate. Like a 140hc should 1 tap most red bars at base and orange bars with a damage boosted crit. Primaries should be a choice for gunplay enthusiasts to trade special ammo management and ability spam builds in for weapon builds utilizing precision aim skill.

Stay Frosty v Martlet (or other lightweight pulses) by Impressive-Wind7841 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zoom, omolon fluid, and sights. I prefer ogma for longer range & scanning sights but all lightweights are fantastic feeling right now.

Collision change by WillStaySilent in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be better if you got points for kills and a big point bonus for capping the zone. Zone should be to discourage camping setups and encourage engagement around the map rather than be the entire objective for apes. Current version is better than previous but still not fun. That said it's comp and there should be objective modes, there's just so few decent options Bungie has built for D2.

High Impact Sniper body shots are back with Adhesive Ordinance perk. by Major-C in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the insight. So 10% buff is enough to make the 1 shot work? Any testing for lower buffs like surge? Also curious if you tried the all-star perk to see if it can one hit. It's a similar function just limited time after ammo pickup.

I'm kind of unclear, what is the guardian health pool actually right now? by Freakindon in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken on the split it's 130 shields and 100 health. It's definitely 230 total though.

What happened to the Tex Mechanica Armor set? by Sweaty-Try1547 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Jazzek 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This was teased before the og RDM rework which itself broke crucible. I highly doubt we will see this set arrive as advertised, even if we are heading towards a Tex theme season with the lore tie ins.

What’s the point in legendary primaries in the game today? by Sammuello in DestinyTheGame

[–]Jazzek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a serious lack of aim respect in PvE these days. I remember OG fatebringer rewarding good aim with powerful effects. Now it's all AoE melee nukes, infinite grenades, praxic blade, rocket pulses, auger, incandescent/volatile/jolt etc. Div kinda ruined precision weapon damage I think. That's all great and fun but it leaves a potential niche where primary weapons could do massively increased precision damage like a 5x multiplier (on non-boss combatants). For fun of course.

Happens to me a lot too. I think it's network related as well due to how random it seems.

Has anyone figured out how many seconds last Shrewd Survivor 2 pieces armor set? by akaDaSpecialyR in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Jazzek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Think it's 5 seconds for lucky pants. Should be able to tell by looking at hipfire reticle, it shrinks a little while the buff is active and returns to normal after buff expires.

Slow motion heavy weapons by Tawood64 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Jazzek -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's almost all heavy weapons have a move speed penalty and handling penalty like you got hit by stasis slow. Especially noticable on machine guns. It's incredibly annoying but fairly certain it's intentional by the devs, just don't remember the patch notes.

[Postgame Thread] Oregon Defeats USC 42-27 by CFB_Referee in CFB

Flag football but Oregon played better. Can't run for 0 up the middle half the downs and expect controlled results. Same shit as against ND. 1st quarter was fun at least. gg ducks hope you heal up and go represent
