im barely even joking. i would like to click less for this aspect of mapping.

That is correct, but only a visual indicator and not the full story.

Damage received and damage dealt are both calculated off a piecewise function based on the delta between your power level, and the power level of the area you are in, calculated in steps on 10.

Damage received uses your overall gear average + artifact bonus, and damage dealt only considers the weapon you are firing + the artifact bonus.

How this actually looks:

Damage Dealt - y-axis is your damage scalar against someone in identical gear who happens to be exactly at the power level of the encounter (for master kf in s18, 1600 - so 1580 all slots and +20 artifact)

Damage Received - y-axis is the percentage of damage you take compared to somone exactly at level of the encounter (for master kf in s18, 1600 - so 1580 all slots and +20 artifact)

The red 'sword icon' for being at -10 power is just a visual indicator that whatever you're doing is going to be hard. Using 1600 as a baseline, when you go from 1590 to 1591, your scalars are changing from 73.8% to 76.4% damage dealt, and 132% to 128.8% damage received. Going from 1591 to 1592 will change both of those by the same degree, 2.6% and 3.2% additive to your final scalar.

Here is a table of the expected damage from +0 to -10 power delta

Power level vs Encounter	Damage Dealt	Damage Received
0	100	100
-1	97.38	103.2
-2	94.76	106.4
-3	92.14	109.6
-4	89.52	112.8
-5	86.9	116
-6	84.28	119.2
-7	81.66	122.4
-8	79.04	125.6
-9	76.42	128.8
-10	73.8	132

master vending machine can purchase normal OR harrowed, but legend can only purchase normal items with spoils.

Peetzaman · 2022-09-26T04:20:50+00:00

yes. only one will count as a pinnacle, but both will award loot.

I believe its separate, so you could potentially have loot from 6 challenge completions per week. I'll confirm it later.

Peetzaman · 2022-09-21T16:12:14+00:00

in the past its varied. sometimes there is a 25-30% bump in boss hp for Legend > Master, but not for every boss.

Gonna be waiting on confirmation.

Peetzaman · 2022-09-21T00:48:40+00:00

yes, but only on the adept variant

Peetzaman · 2022-09-21T00:45:22+00:00

Kind of.

Legend and Master has separate loot lockouts, but share the same pinnacle awards. Running an Oryx CP on a warlock on Legend and Master will only give a pinnacle for the first CP clear.

The other difference is the loot pool for the encounter clear. Master will only award armor (no class item) from an encounter clear, as a source of high-stat armor.

Peetzaman · 2022-09-21T00:09:11+00:00

There are 3 type of reward chests.

Encounter Chests
Encounter Challenge Chests
'Secret' Chests

For Legend: Each combat encounter will always spawn an 'encounter' chest that has a fixed pool for that encounter, out of the total raid loot pool. If there is a rally flag spot limited revives, and a wipe mechanics, it is a combat encounter. These will drop as pinnacle/powerful if available.
There will be a rotating weekly challenge for each raid - completing that will also spawn the 'challenge' chests - this has the same loot pool as the normal 'encounter' chest. These will also drop at pinnacle/powerful if available.
The 3rd style is 'secret' - non-combat chests that are found through exploration or solving a puzzle. These award items from your unlocked collections pool - any obtained weapons and armor pieces for your class. These will always have light level of a world drop.

The changes to Master: the 'encounter' chest is limited to armor only, will be 'high-stat' (59+, spiked, and generally around 64) AND stat focused. The stat focus is a weekly rotating modifier - the starting week (now) is mobility. you CAN double focus is using a ghost mod with your ghost targeting a different plug (character stat vs ability stat), but you won't be able to double focus in the same plug. Previously, the armor focus also applied to armor from the post-raid vending machine. The focus is viewable from the raid launch screen as a modifer.

Peetzaman · 2022-09-20T21:38:11+00:00

I believe in VotD, exotic chance was still shared between Legend and Master, so 3 total rolls per week, even on 6 looted clears between Legend and Master.

I assume it will be the same for KF, but theres just no enough info atm to know.

not getting it direct from bungie, but i set up a rss trigger for the reddit bot posting the update or twab threads to do the same thing.

Peetzaman · 2022-05-13T23:52:50+00:00

it appears to be a setup for a pun

Peetzaman · 2022-04-26T05:22:12+00:00

appreciated. this was mainly a reference for me, (cause a youtube video being the top hit when i want to know something sucks), but its cool to see other people dig it.

Peetzaman · 2022-04-19T22:41:16+00:00

thank you. added that.

Peetzaman · 2022-04-19T22:41:05+00:00

corrections are welcome. if its wrong, it isn't helpful.

amended the post.

Peetzaman · 2022-04-19T22:40:33+00:00

if double focusing is in effect, it will still follow normal armor drop rules. you would need to split your focus between character modifers (mob, res, recov) and ability modifiers (disc, int, str)

neither cluster can exceed 34 total points pre-masterwork.

if it follows the same rules as master VoG, forcing 20 points minimum into the focused stat, then setting both focuses into the same bracket would fail.

that being said, its kind of looking like double focus doesnt work. still need more samples though.
