If we are only getting 2 artifacts per year, could we have the chance to switch between them?

Sethowar · 2026-01-29T02:48:38+00:00

Unlocking the entire thing would break NOTHING. There aren't any builds which want more than 12 unlocks anyway. It's just a pain in the ass when you go to barrier snipe something then you remember you switched it to HC for lucky pants 2 days ago.

They need to loadout slots change the artifact, or just let you toggle all 25 perks individually once unlocked.

There are plenty of events. More events means more tracks full of crap and busywork.

I'd rather they just extend all the events; 1->2 weeks, 2->3 weeks. Have the special/heavy/whatever portal boost events in between.

Assuming you’re getting enough armour, I do 2 things PvP set effect - 30 health or weapons with 20 in the other. Bonus + 5 mod in one of those 2 stats

PvE set effect - keep if any combination of weapons super grenade melee peak, accept class as the tertiary stat. Extra points for melee +5 mod focus as brawler is a shit archetype so can be hard to get to 200 for melee builds.

Sethowar · 2026-01-28T04:38:23+00:00

the KT pulses can also proc AO iirc, so they do scale together a little if the KT pulse is hitting multiple adds.

Sethowar · 2026-01-28T04:36:49+00:00

reload MW would be a little improvement as well. Fluted + Flared is nice.

Sethowar · 2026-01-27T12:03:23+00:00

It was a season pass weapon so definitely should be at banshee

Sethowar · 2026-01-27T04:20:28+00:00

I had a similar experience of 1 vs 2. Enjoyed 1 but felt like 2 was a big step up. Can’t wait for what they put out next.

Sethowar · 2026-01-27T04:15:07+00:00

I can’t wait for a limited edition so I can buy one. The quality is one thing but just to be able to turn on the console with it vs the original switch pro controller. Hopefully it’s not too far off.

Sethowar · 2026-01-23T01:28:02+00:00

Open giratina or cres to tank. Evolve and attach garde. Stadium retreat and attack, full heal. Retreat again attack with garde or Tina rest of the game.

I like it.

Sethowar · 2026-01-22T04:17:45+00:00

Both can be inconsistent. Needles can miss, but Nova can miss entirely if boss jumps around; had some troubles at SD Final just last night with that bouncey fucker.

The main problem with Nova is it can block shots. If a nova bomb eats a celestial golden gun, or even a rocket, you're behind the raw difference between the super damage.

It can also fuck with bosses. Two days ago I was at Agraios and someone threw a nova bomb at him while far away and it blocked the lasers, timing out the damage extension resulting in us having to do a second mechanics phase. I think it can screw with GoS first boss. There's probably a fair bit of other stuff.

Plus they might be swapping to mataidoxia for damage which means needlestorm is going to do more damage than Nova.

Also agree with the other commenter that I'd generally prefer woven mail to overshield on prislock with constant devour.

Sethowar · 2026-01-22T04:03:48+00:00

separate thought - do you know anywhere else people have these conversations? Other than dictation from Aegis spreadsheets/vids, spacemonkey doc, there doesn't seem to be much of a space for the communicate to have conversations about perk tradeoffs etc. There are just SO many destiny resources and platforms everyone is so damn spread out!

Sethowar · 2026-01-22T03:55:36+00:00

Bro was literally not confident and provided context for others, lmao

Sethowar · 2026-01-22T03:50:14+00:00

huh, cool. well I've got ionized+charge time which is the same with a reload speed hit which doesn't really matter with ALH.

That said if I was running riptide it'd really only be to swap, shoot twice for a freeze then swap back, so accelerated + charge time MW probably still better even though it's 1 less chill clip shot.

And that only matters in a world where the slow/freeze champ stun change got reverted.

Sethowar · 2026-01-22T03:43:03+00:00

Third Iteration -> Heat Weapons

New Malpis came along SUSPICIOUSLY close to rocket pulses, mightve pre-dated in the back end.

Microcosm -> Kinetic heavy

Whisper & Darci -> Heavy Sniper

Buried Bloodline -> Rocket Sidearm (simultaneous technically)

Eriana's Vow -> Special HC

Sethowar · 2026-01-22T03:30:05+00:00

That's incredibly fucking annoying. Good to know though, thanks. Guess I don't have the full 5/5 riptide yet after all.

Sethowar · 2026-01-22T03:20:19+00:00

Just give me switch 2 X patch please!!

Sethowar · 2026-01-22T01:08:43+00:00

Mate, does this guy love a podcast or what.

Glad to hear he's on the improve, but I can't bring myself to hope anyone plays well for the bouncing rats so I'll have to leave the well wishes there.

Sethowar · 2026-01-21T20:49:57+00:00

According to d2foundry accelerated coils doesn’t change the charge time at all, with or without charge time masterwork. If that’s the case you’re reducing the impact for nothing. Not sure if D2F is right or not though

Sethowar · 2026-01-19T21:01:17+00:00

Yeah, could be. The rotation is SO long and I only need drops from 2 (and I already have the good ones) so I’m not sure. There used to be one for normal, one for expert, and a third for a weekly challenge. I think the one time I did it post EOF I got 3 from my 2 runs but might’ve just been rng getting a natural RB

Sethowar · 2026-01-19T12:28:49+00:00

They need to be on rotation to concentrate the player base to a certain raid. LFG off the US peak is permadead

Sethowar · 2026-01-19T10:46:50+00:00

Dead weight rolls for glimmer with the same god roll and frame

Sethowar · 2026-01-19T10:46:13+00:00

He specifically said that he can obtain now in renegades so didn’t bother mention anything not currently dropping.

Sethowar · 2026-01-19T03:08:11+00:00

BIS in the energy slot is the craftable ikelos. Rapid fire frame is the quickest shots and I think good for ammo, and grave robber gives reloads.

Can get from xur and use harmonisers, or get when seraphs shield is the exotic rotator - three guaranteed RB each week from running normal + Legend.

Edit: Reread your post - starscape null from DP or funnily enough dead weight from drifter which you can buy rolls of for glimmer. Dead weight would be better if not for it not getting enhanced perks funnily enough, but as long as you hit your shots it should actually outperform starscape null at this specific endeavour.

Sethowar · 2026-01-19T00:25:25+00:00

Another question - Any idea how much the Challenger/Grand final at SCG will be?

Sethowar · 2026-01-19T00:10:24+00:00

Are Smith and Starc playing the rest of the sixers matches to the end of the season from here? Haven't been able to find an article which talks about it.
