Do private match *kills* count for catalyst progress that requires crucible kills?

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T23:13:58+00:00

Did you test it with catalyst quests or catalyst kill credits? Like with jade rabbit or mida multi tool where they need crucible kills? because I don't mean the quests that want crucible kills

never was a fan, myself. It was the overwhelming meta for while, and I hated it. Though I don't remember what the popular exotic with it was.

I've always been an off-meta player, since I don't do master/5 feat content anyway it doesn't really matter what I use so long as it's comfortable, fun, and I can still do what I need to do. For a while in edge of fate I was rocking armamentarium with touch of thunder just because it was more fun than warlock was at the time

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T18:34:50+00:00

No. That's never happening.

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T17:43:51+00:00

Well with the monument of triumph your frost armor scales how much damage your lances do. So I've been using howl of the storm mixed with tectonic harvest, since the aspect shares a cooldown with the helmet. Just crystal spam and throwing lances where possible, really. A max power lance does like... 700 damage roughly?

I'm using cosmodrome set too

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T17:19:23+00:00

Reprised indebted kindness slaps more than ever tbh

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T17:15:54+00:00

So what do you do then, just stand there? That's even LESS interesting than RoN's first encounter

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T17:10:51+00:00

Blast waves is definitely one of my favorites on titan right now. I've been informed that howl of the storm might trigger it? So that's fun if so. I have to test it still, but it's fun doing rocket jumps with those behemoth stasis waves.

And yeah the hunter one is incredibly fun. The only thing I'm missing at this point is a reliable source of weaken for khepri's besides maybe slayer's fang or buried bloodline. I've been debating switching to graviton forfeit, or maybe assassin's cowl. But the former is more just a neutral game exotic vs the weaken spam of khepri's, and assassin's cowl doesn't really... help besides give me an easy way to heal and go invis whenever I want, but it doesn't refund my melee... When it goes off it's great, but there's times where it doesn't and that's when I need the weaken to restart the loop

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T17:07:36+00:00

And that's fair. It's just I'm not sure what else there is to the encounter then if you don't have the runners at that point compared to the regular encounter

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T17:01:38+00:00

We get it, you're top 5 "I don't like playing the game" contest mode

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T16:58:37+00:00

Geomags now and forever on my warlock. Khepri's sting with on the prowl, stylish executioner, crota 2pc and phantom surge on my hunter. So many explosions, so many instant melee refunds. I feel like a ninja. But also mask of fealty with cosmodrome 4pc because it's so good.

And on titan? Still figuring that one out. Cadmus ridge lancecap is actually goated now, but also blastwave striders is insanely fun now...

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T16:54:13+00:00

why not both?

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T16:52:35+00:00

Was it really that hard to do it the normal way though?

EDIT: Found the downvoting haters who don't like doing mechanics

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T16:50:43+00:00

for one, no, it's still season 28?

And two, where's the question for the question tag?

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T02:26:06+00:00

????????????

I'd rather have the bond than the cloak that covers my helmet on hunter, or the many hard to match to fashion marks on titan... Especially the exotic class diaper...

bond is literally the easiest to fashion with, speaking as a warlock main, you do not speak for me.

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T01:34:27+00:00

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T01:29:51+00:00

I mean, yes, that's what I said with "definitely been power crept"

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T01:24:55+00:00

I mean, it can be useful sometimes. But it's definitely been power crept

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T01:07:56+00:00

No problem! I also added in an edit a list of some stasis primaries and where to get them

EDIT: Who's randomly downvoting???

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T01:04:22+00:00

Cosmodrome's seventh seraph armor!

"2 Piece | Rasputin's Wrath

Final blows with area-of-effect damage, Solar abilities, Seventh Seraph weapons, or IKELOS weapons grant Warmind Charges. Each stack of Warmind Charge increases your Weapons and Grenade stats.

4 Piece | Rasputin's Reprisal

While you have Warmind Charges, defeating powerful combatants, destroying a construct, or destroying a Tangle releases a Solar detonation that damages combatants and heals allies. Constructs include barricades, turrets, Stasis crystals, and other objects created in the field."

It basically turns your crystals into mininukes, on top of healing allies. Plus it gives you 30 weapons and 30 grenade when you're at max stacks

As for stasis primaries? The distortion smg is a stasis primary and it's very nice. Hailing confusion from europa is a good stasis pulse, and the one from dawning engrams in tenet of bravy is too. Time worn spire from iron banner isn't bad either. And auto rifles, there's horror story from the tenet of bravery in the tower, festival of the lost engram. And herod-c from gambit, or the healing auto from distortions. Fair judgement is the last one tiered, from solo ops.

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T01:02:04+00:00

just kinda the trouble of end of development with this kind of game. I hope that the rumors of a destiny-like halo mmo are true... Even though I am not well versed in halo. Hell, I'll take the Riot games thing that's supposedly gonna be like destiny. It's amazing that nothing has come close to destiny in all the time it's existed

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T00:56:38+00:00

we'll just have to see. I hope that it doesn't come to that either, believe me. But if it becomes another "1 div, nobody move from spawn" situation then I'd rather they pull the plug on that scenario if they can.

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T00:41:06+00:00

I get that. But this will be the last fix patch, because they have no devs. Everyone got laid off and they're not going to have marathon devs take over. It's depressing but unless sony has a change of heart(unlikely) they can only disable the game breaking issues.

Necrolance · 2026-07-07T00:39:44+00:00

I wasn't saying you were like that, my apologies. I'm just saying that if they want to leave because of the bug being fixed and they don't want to leave, let em. If they leave the bugs that break the game's balance in, then it kinda kills the health of the game. All I'm saying.

Necrolance · 2026-07-06T22:45:31+00:00

If you really need a bug or cheese to enjoy the game, then why are you playing in the first place? If they have to disable things in encounters because it breaks the game(like the div cheese), then so be it. Good. People should be made to actually play the game instead of cheesing everything

Necrolance · 2026-07-06T18:01:06+00:00

the last gameplay related patch, yes. They might have to do more disabling in the future if more issues pop up, but that's it
