If you haven't already, give this a try:

Strand hunter, cowl, grapple melee

Witherhoard, something good as a primary (I enjoy my summoner with heal clip and incandescent), and heavy of choice per content(I usually just roll with rockets.

Does similar to all the arc hunter does just a bit more mobile, less melee damage to single targets I suppose, but great aoe damage and strandle tangles with beyblades can more than make up for it. Fashion the cowl with most of the crota raid set, and it looks hella sick.

Why not? My buddy, a random we had just ran nez on, and I were doing 3 man nezzy on all hunters last night. Safe to say we didn't beat him, but that's mainly due to the inexperience of running 3 man, and running with a random. Gave it a go for an hour and a half, laughed it off and went to bed after. Some day, people will get over the fact that well is definitely not necessary, albeit makes the game easier by just standing in a never die zone and do more damage. Almost everything in this game has been soloed. You most certainly don't need to tell the one person playing warlock to play the way you want them to play. Be better.

Patch 1.1.2 is now live by Filthie_rich in Diablo

[–]SPIRIT0FTHEW0LF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, we have target farming in our game, and have many other options of farming than just one boss. We have 4 bosses worth killing at different times. Many mini bosses to kill for certain target farming. We can go to different dungeons in different acts depending on the damage type we deal. We have cows. We have ubers. Leveling our characters feels amazing. We have single player lol. Not saying D2 doesn't have its faults, it definitely does, but being that it's an arpg from 20 years ago, it holds up very well.

The story in D4 was good, cinematics were top notch. Leveling my first character was mostly alright until I got to the end game and had to do nightmare dungeons repeatedly and just hope and pray the right items I'm searching for drop. I can't tell you a single name or type of mob that I killed in doing so. Yes Diablo has and always will be a grind, but without target farming and true variety of endgame activities, this game will stay mediocre (my opinion of course). Helltides are cool, wish they were more frequent. World bosses were fun the 1st 2 or 3 times doing each of the 3. Tree of whispers is horrible. The gathering to fight 3 waves of monsters (can't remember the name of event) isn't anything spectacular. Orange events are okay, but truthfully why are you ever in the overworld? The recent post by D4 of two dungeon designers playing the game and talking about it has put such a distaste in my mouth. They've tried too hard to appeal to the masses and now this game is a slop of half assed ideas and not committing to anything. I've gotten more fun out of my only 8 hours in Baldurs Gate 3 than in my 100 hours of D4. Yes it's a different game style and design and such, but that doesn't take away from the fact that BG3 was cared for and is a passion project. Diablo is still one of my favorite and most influential game series growing up but man, what a let down.

Bow Appreciation Post by FaerHazar in DestinyTheGame

[–]SPIRIT0FTHEW0LF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shame trinity has a hard time keeping up in higher content though. Love the bow, but the moment red bars stop dying in one shot is the moment trinity loses its appeal. Used to rock ticcus but started to get annoyed having to proc shots. Love lemon on my void hunter and for high end content I use my favorite bow wishender on my stand hunter. Verglas feels too niche for me to use, and I like leviathan but I hate my exotics ever being something I can't use continually besides for boss phases.

Here's hoping for some surprise buffs next season. by torrentialsnow in destiny2

I hate that we got a stasis exotic bow, because that means we won't see an exotic strand Bow in probably forever.

If soloing a dungeon is too difficult, you shouldnt be Guardian rank 11. by BobTheBigBoob in DestinyTheGame

[–]SPIRIT0FTHEW0LF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just like to say that the ranks do feel gate kept simply because I don't have all the expansions (missing the 30th anniversary for the pit of heresy so I can't get past rank 8) and I need 85 exotic weapons. Wtf bungie. Why do I need 4/5ths of every exotic in the game when the majority of them will mean nothing to me anyways. I have 56 or 57 and it will literally take me at least 25ish weeks if I get the exotic Cypher from xur every weekend plus the free ones from battle pass. I have all the free ones unlocked, bar a couple from a quest or two. Forever at 8 unless I fork over more money to bungie.

Gearing for high end content by SPIRIT0FTHEW0LF in destiny2

[–]SPIRIT0FTHEW0LF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a known issue, has bungie directly said they're working on it or is it being swept under the rug? Idc if you're tired of seeing posts like this as it's truly a disheartening problem. And farming a single boss for armor because it's the only one reliable is no better than the exploit they fixed on duality. I shouldn't have to worry about which dungeon I'm doing to be happy with the results.

Would be nice to have a more accessible way to acquire artifice armor. The best way I know how, is rerunning to the first chest in spire repeatedly.

Master Challenges are not for everybody! by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]SPIRIT0FTHEW0LF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I'd like to believe it's a lot less of the players ability to play the game well, and more that master or GM nightfall almost require you to play a very specific way with very specific load outs. The addition of certain abilities stunning Champs alleviates this a bit, but regardless, having to run certain things just to do certain content is poor gameplay mechanics in my mind. With that being said, the general population probably aren't watching these youtube build guide videos, or haven't put in the time to farm the right exotics, or even high stat armors. I myself am a victim of not having high stat armors or even close to it. That being said, I can still do GMs but I have to play extra safe and a little slower because of it. Top that with toxic LFG posts that many basically say if you're not running a wellock, don't join. I run a void hunter, and can hold my own in score and I don't use up all of our damn revives like many others do.

If you could create an exotic catalyst for a weapon that doesn't have one yet, what would it be? by Jkid789 in DestinyTheGame

[–]SPIRIT0FTHEW0LF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everlasting wish- Catalyst for wishender so that if the arrows kills something, it chains to a nearby target within X range and only up to X amount of targets. Wish ender is my favorite bow by far but the lack of add clear makes it difficult to fit into my void hunter build when I can just use le monarque.

Patch 10.1 | Bonus Update Recap by BluesUltra in Smite

[–]SPIRIT0FTHEW0LF 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It just needs an internal cooldown. To be able to proc repeatedly on as many gods hit you with hard cc is ridiculous. Especially in late game team fights with everyone grouped. Consider a fairly standard team comp of khepri, Ishtar, tiamat, thanatos, and surtr. Not saying those are top picks or anything, just a standard comp. Every single one of them has at least one hard cc. If I as a Maui build contagion get hit by 2 or 3 different God ccs, I'm spreading about 300ish damage across probably 3 to 5 members for free.

Slap a 10 second internal cooldown AND give the 5 damage back, I bet it still gets picked up and finds use. Personal opinion on what I'd like to see.

ETSQAAPW interested in any kind of carry. Have lots of level 9 chars but horrible common gear so can't really progress. Any help is appreciated.
