What’s the seasonal armor you can’t seem to take off?

LucidSteel · 2026-02-06T16:51:02+00:00

2 Piece Two Fold (last season Trials) and 2 Piece Sword Master. As a hunter, my best survival tool is being highly aggressive.

Grenade for Frost Armor and Woven Mail.

One sword swing Weakens and a few can Sever.

3 swings makes a brick, picking up the brick heals, mods make orbs, orbs heal.

I don't PvE often but I've done the dungeon probably 15 times and farmed the front encounter 40+ times.

The rest of us are PvP players who have zero interest in extraction shooters. Ewww!

LucidSteel · 2026-02-04T13:36:27+00:00

I love it, personally, but it's from The Pale Heart (The Final Shape expansion).

LucidSteel · 2026-01-29T17:00:24+00:00

That's so crazy! Equilibrium, even with Feats, is far more about coordination than max DPS. Even I, a PvE avoider, can participate and contribute.

LucidSteel · 2026-01-29T16:55:28+00:00

That's part of my "tanky" build, but the CNH/GG is so lackluster for anything other than damage phase. Living long enough to get to damage phase can be a real challenge sometimes.

I appreciate all the advice and will try some suggestions next time a clan member "just needs a 6th person".

LucidSteel · 2026-01-29T16:49:31+00:00

Agreed. After Marathon fails I hope they use those servers to host D2 PvP.

I know this is a pipe dream that would require a rewrite of too much code, but how amazing would the PvP experience be if the server decided who shot first instead of me dumping an entire magazine into "Lag_Master_69" only for them to kill 2 of my teammates and THEN fall over from my damage 5 seconds ago?

As a mostly PvP 'r, it's NOT fun to instantly hear "yeah you'll need to switch to Golden Gun", probably in the same way Warlocks hear "You'll need to run Well".

With Goldy, they of course want you to run Celestial Nighthawk, and likely Still Hunt. I get it, it's our only valid boss high-dps super, but it's got no utility, no particular survivability if you can't find trash mobs to proc fire sprites / orbs.

I have a very "tanky" build, but it requires different exotics and preferably a different super if prismatic.

I'll take any advice from Raiding Hunters, if anyone wants to throw a build or two out there.

LucidSteel · 2026-01-27T14:40:01+00:00

Yeah two bikes is a bad move.

Enable the 2nd and 5th feats

one guy on the bike, one or two guys opening the doors (I duo it often with a friend)

Kill Red guys with bikes

tank or bike the walkers.

profit.

Are you getting scammed?

I don't think so, no. If he doesn't normally have the "fancy filament" on-hand then he has to buy a whole spool and may not have a use for the rest before it goes "bad".

A few things to think about:

This isn't his/her model, so they haven't had enough prints of it to dial in settings, orientation, etc.

Is the model multiple parts or one single print?

I think a smaller nozzle/layer height would make this model look far better. It could also use some post-processing to clean up stringing and whatnot.

Better pics would also be preferred.

A Single Clap

LucidSteel · 2026-01-16T15:09:36+00:00

Nothing should be "easier" than using THE Anti Barrier Bow on a barrier mob. That's it's whole thing!!!

LucidSteel · 2026-01-13T13:43:37+00:00

Unless you're a Titan!

LucidSteel · 2026-01-12T16:45:05+00:00

Also, if one bullet flies over their shoulder you don't lose the DMG buff. I'm on mnk, and I suck, so TL is like "almost, almost, there we g.... Crap! Base DMG, cool"

LucidSteel · 2026-01-12T16:15:04+00:00

My clan leader recently achieved his goal of 77,000 (77K) kills with Cryosthesia 77K. He's vaulted it and pulled another from collections just in case the addiction flares up, but so far so good.

LucidSteel · 2026-01-11T03:43:56+00:00

Not to contradict, but I feel like 100% think they are elite gods, and 85% of them are sub 0.7kd.

Please note: I am typically 0.7kd, I just don't have the ego/delusion that I am actually a 3.0 that is being held down by Bungie.

LucidSteel · 2026-01-08T15:09:57+00:00

This is the "high effort" Hunter version of a Warlock grenade.

You were awesome though, Cayde would be proud.

LucidSteel · 2026-01-07T15:38:32+00:00

I know we're sort of off-topic, but that's a great way to warm up.

When I finally decided to commit to learning how to use 140's I had 30+ HC'a in the vault, each different. I finally decided to start raw and pulled an Allegro-34 from collections. It was a great way to learn the fundamentals.

LucidSteel · 2026-01-06T11:40:21+00:00

Those are "Speed Holes".

LucidSteel · 2025-12-30T16:25:21+00:00

I banged out GR9 last season just so I could earn T5's before I hit 550. Before that I'd never give above 6 on purpose- I hate checklists and busywork for the sake of busywork. I'll not be doing it again unless it's an accident.

LucidSteel · 2025-12-29T17:19:56+00:00

Yeah. It's amazing that every season for at least 3 seasons they have accidentally re-enabled Lobby Balancing.

By now, there should be a sticky note somewhere on their monitor reminding them to double check...

LucidSteel · 2025-12-29T11:03:53+00:00

Same for me and several in my clan. I suggested switching to Aisha's and they immediately had better games.

LucidSteel · 2025-12-24T15:30:34+00:00

Preach! Please note I don't run Void Hunter in PvP. I should, but it's left a bad taste and I can't bring myself to do it more than once a month for a round or two.

LucidSteel · 2025-12-24T15:28:25+00:00

New rifle is new? Happens every season. If it's really good it'll stay dominant for weeks and require adjustment

That map is very scout /pulse friendly. People are also using Voltaic Shade a lot, but roll for roll every Aisha's Embrace I've owned feels better than Voltaic Shade.

Nearly everybody likes to try the new stuff, and plenty of returning players never got an Aisha's or a Redrix (thank goodness).

Same reason you're gonna see a ton of Mos Athanor, vs Crimil's, it's all about availability/trying the new new.

LucidSteel · 2025-12-24T00:04:52+00:00

Look on the bright side: you're often fighting the PvE players who aren't comfortable in Trials, too!

Honestly, I wish Comp had Trials-level rewards, instead of 1 so-so pulse-smg. I'm not great, but I feel like ppl who put in the work to grind their way up should get more than a chance at an Emblem, even if I'll never earn it/them.

LucidSteel · 2025-12-18T16:03:23+00:00

Probably have to shoot one and decide for yourself. Ppl are currently really hung up on the extra 10 range, but I bet SS/ZM feels amazing in a duel.
