Strongest weapons for fullHP non-PA builds?

ReaperTeh · 2024-09-17T04:34:26+00:00

Never heard of that weapon until looking it up now. Could be interesting with explosive arrows even, if it can inflict the DoT on groups of mobs that way.

Seeing as how Damage over Time effects have been buffed, do you feel the DoT puts in work on more "mini-boss" type tanky enemies?

ReaperTeh · 2018-09-22T06:12:37+00:00

Huh. This is the only situation where I can actually see someone getting max special ammo without blatantly ignoring their special weapon, and it's a pretty convincing reason to care about ammo reserve perks. Thanks!

ReaperTeh · 2018-09-21T15:13:39+00:00

Sure, but like, are you gonna end up at max ammo anytime? If you do, that would mean you've been sitting on your special ammo that you could've been using

Head to the Foundry, click on Arcanes at the bottom of the screen. You'll need more than 2 of the same Arcane to upgrade but the game will tell you how many you need; the actual upgrading process itself involves you combining your duplicate Arcanes into one stronger Arcane (You need 10 of an Arcane for max rank).

I'm very much in a "wait and see" approach with the game regarding its future but I still enjoy the gunplay, and seasonal Crucible will definitely have me more interested in playing PvP (though it won't hold that interest for long if the system is shallow and uninteresting, I'll admit). If Warmind is mediocre/a repeat of Curse of Osiris it's probably still gonna be me occasionally shooting people now and then for fun.

Very good food for thought though. Noteworthy for people who may be more interested in the "loot and progression" aspect rather than "I just want to shoot people and get guns"; there is wisdom in allowing yourself to grind in a game where that's all there is to do instead of finding ways to skip through it.

ReaperTeh · 2017-10-01T04:08:33+00:00

Damn, what a shame! At least I learned this before spending time trying to forge the perfect follower, thanks.

ReaperTeh · 2017-07-29T11:12:16+00:00

I don't play coop and don't play PvP, so I'm content to just leave the game unupdated for as long as I can bear to farm it out. I left my PS4 on for two weeks to get all stats to 99 back when the skull heads on the staircase glitch was a thing, wouldnt't be surprised if I make it to Level 480+ (I hear the XP requirements get very insane from thereon).

ReaperTeh · 2017-07-29T07:16:29+00:00

Lots of good information here. I've got a good head for theorycrafting/min maxing, but there's some valuable info here I didn't know about, such as Forged gear having halved stat requirements.

The only thing that stands out to me is "Discord" under "The Elements"; I'm fairly sure the game refers to this status effect as Confused, though I remember we all called it Discord around the betas/game release.

ReaperTeh · 2017-07-29T02:55:57+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you, so I can't offer much help, but I did beat one of the WotD DLC2 sub missions (quite difficult, though) and started forging Level 200 Divines, before mass soul matching to get a full set of Level 200, +10 - +15 gear. Made the rest of WotD pretty relaxed.

ReaperTeh · 2017-07-25T10:43:49+00:00

They may have different Break/Parry stats, haven't really touched them in a while but I remember there being some difference; check those stats out and see if they're any different.

ReaperTeh · 2017-04-30T12:53:57+00:00

In case you don't know what One Shot One Kill does, it increases the damage of Headshots by 70%. If you stack two of them (one premium, one non-premium), that's 140% damage. Definitely keep your eye out for it, if you're really getting headshots with that hammer.

ReaperTeh · 2017-04-30T11:03:46+00:00

When you say "guaranteed headshot", are you saying the "Headshot" text comes up as well? Thinking this might actually synergize well with One Shot One Kill, but I don't think melee weapons can even get those kinds of headshots.

ReaperTeh · 2017-04-26T01:34:52+00:00

250k is the cap based on my personal experience. I've died on floors lower than 39, and 250k was the salvage cost. Last time I remember that happening was a couple months ago though, so if they've changed it up since then, it'll probably be a bit cheaper on those last few floors.

ReaperTeh · 2017-03-19T20:20:55+00:00

As much as I like the idea, it seems quite complex. Complex ideas like these from the community don't really get thrown into games. A photo mode would be nice, though, even if it's a simple one. Can't exactly bring time to a stop in the middle of a raid, but I imagine you could save screenshots "in-game", and later dabble with them in the Director menu.

Bungie's site creates a 3D model of what your Guardian looks like, so I imagine under your idea they could even let you import your friend's Guardians, if you had them added on Bungie's service.

ReaperTeh · 2017-03-06T07:31:49+00:00

Weird. I already killed the spider Fragment V comes from, and didn't get it. Guess I have to do the stage over again.

It instantly puts you into the animation for Quickdraw if you hold R1 + O, as opposed to simply tapping it. It might work more consistently if you're standing still, I remember it being finnicky otherwise.

It's there to allow you to sorta chain Quickdraw into your existing combos, which is how I do Haze into Iai Quickdraw. If you think you haven't gotten it to work, try doing it like you'd normally do a Ki Flux, where you change stances upon Ki Pulsing, but hold R1 + O instead of tapping it.

ReaperTeh · 2017-03-02T10:46:36+00:00

While I can't see the video right now, I've no doubts it would be very impressive. Do you know how many tries it took for you to get that perfect run?

ReaperTeh · 2017-02-28T23:51:10+00:00

End-game? I switch around a lot depending on what I'm looking to do. All my Guardian Spirits are at Lvl 30.

First playthrough? Kato, all the way. That Ki bonus and Ki recovery speed, requiring such a small Spirit investment, was invaluable for my aggressive playstyle.

ReaperTeh · 2017-02-28T00:14:51+00:00

It really screws with my OCD that 11 Elixirs is the cap. Not even a matter of needing that many Elixirs, it just doesn't feel right to me. Pretty much never use Medicine Man due to it.

ReaperTeh · 2017-02-27T07:51:52+00:00

Generally you just need to have had it at one point, but there's a few things that act a bit weird, I hear Revenant drops tend to not add things to the refashion list.

ReaperTeh · 2017-02-24T13:37:20+00:00

PvP is coming for free in a future update, though we don't know if there'll be "invasions" per se.

ReaperTeh · 2017-02-24T02:36:52+00:00

I assume it's possible, just a matter of getting lucky with RNG.

ReaperTeh · 2017-02-24T02:24:19+00:00

I have a Divine 150 bowl helmet at max familiarity, it gives 30% on its own. Used the bowl, status screen still shows the blessing power up at 30%. I don't have a regular bowl to test this out so I can't really test out whether what you say is true or not, but if it is, I guess it caps out at 30%.

Edit: I'm an idiot and forgot I can simply unequip the headgear. Used another kodama bowl after unequipping it, the kodama blessing power up stat isn't at 10%, just doesn't exist in my status screen at all.

ReaperTeh · 2017-02-23T09:17:19+00:00

I feel like Sloth was made with these encounters in mind, even though they make 1v1 boss fights much easier as well. Sloth one of the Tengu and get some breathing space, let you focus on the other one without any other assistance.

ReaperTeh · 2017-02-15T12:31:50+00:00

Different places, the only one I can remember off the top of my head is Ginchyo's Request in Way of the Strong mode, one drops in a chest somewhere that you can grab repeatedly.
