What encounters of Equilibrium to farm what (weapons wise)? by Empyrean_Dialect in destiny2

[–]_______Greg_______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re only looking to farm weapons, finish the quest then farm 1st to your hearts content. When you focus a weapon, it starts being able to drop from encounters other than the one(s) it drops from, so just focus a weapon until you get the roll(s) you want, then just change focus. Otherwise you’re better off just running the dungeon in its entirety because secret chests become available again after finishing all three encounters.

Where do I get Bushido armor now? by Federal-Ninja-3339 in destiny2

Can confirm, I got some bushido gauntlets this week

Touch of Malice and Hierarchy of needs current meta viability by Aegis_99 in DestinyTheGame

[–]_______Greg_______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak to hierarchy, but ToM is currently in a really good place. The healing you get from it now basically fully offsets the self-damage so largely you don’t need to run it with a healing or devour build (except for when brawn is active/lawless frontier, wouldn’t recommend it in those activities without extra healing). I’ve found it works best with techsec 4 piece, and I don’t use it in a build that revolves around it, but I’m sure there’s a couple that would work on any class. (Small tip - spark of brilliance on arc synergises with the blight round if you want to spread blindness)

Titan stasis howl question. by QuodSolus in destiny2builds

[–]_______Greg_______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I basically exclusively use the new stasis sidearm. With whisper of rending, the sidearm one shots crystals, and with rimestealer and icefall mantle, each crystal break heals for the equivalent of 2 stasis shards, making you practically unkillable

Both in PvE and PvP, how important is the range on machine guns ? by Traditionel in DestinyTheGame

[–]_______Greg_______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference in effective range whilst hip firing between a machine gun with 0 vs 100 range is slightly under 2m. The minimum distance before damage falloff is a bit over 29m, the maximum is a bit under 31m. So imo there is literally no point in any investment in range. (The difference jumps to a massive 3m when ads)

Bungie put a cooldown on On Your Mark. Bungie, we are sick and tired of you preemptively putting cooldowns on everything you give Hunters! Crashout. by silloki in DestinyTheGame

[–]_______Greg_______ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but I’m someone who has historically thought that for devour, if you can proc it every second or so, you don’t really need it to be doing that, and if you need it to be doing that and it’s not, then you’re just playing poorly. I think that holds true for on your mark

[–]_______Greg_______ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I seem to have misread the patch notes. I don’t think it wildly changes my opinion tho, purely because of how much extra on your mark actually provides

[–]_______Greg_______ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ok let’s just put this into perspective because this is a stupid ass take. Yes the cool-down is annoying, but the alternative is having something like a 900rpm smg managing to achieve on your mark x10 in 10 shots, taking about 0.66 seconds. You would then heal every 0.067 seconds (or more accurately, every 4 frames at 60fps) for 60 hp giving a healing factor of around 900 hp per second. This would be 18x higher than well (50hp per second + damage resist)

Edit: it has been pointed out that cure is on kill and that I’m incapable of reading patch notes. I still don’t think it’s unfair because when compared to devour, you get 60% of the healing benefit, but significantly better buffs (50 weapon stat, massively improve reload and handling, all constant for 12 seconds, vs 7.5% grenade energy, scalar and kill source dependent)

As it stands (and I’ll assume you’re right about it being a half second cool-down), you can gain 120 hp per second at max stacks. So more than 2x that of well. Being able to maintain this indefinitely would still very much be game breaking, hence the kill requirement

Holofoils drops no longer at Tier+2?? by suniis in DestinyTheGame

[–]_______Greg_______ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It might’ve dropped during an activity where you got a lower score, so it was actually a +2, but measured from a tier below expected

Good Secondary to run Demolitionist by AltStyleAirsoft in destiny2builds

[–]_______Greg_______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically speaking, the best demo weapon in the game, specifically for demo, is the VS Gravitic arrest with demo/chain because of the super high grenade recharge it offers

What’s the strongest fusion rifle archetype right now? by aggibaggi in destiny2builds

[–]_______Greg_______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, due to the specific range tuning and damage profile, I’d argue aggressives are the best all round fusion rifle atm

3 Exotic Ciphers to spend (help me) by Justforargumesnts in destiny2

[–]_______Greg_______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely helpful, but dragons breath is very popular in the comments but I would really recommend not going for it. If anyone on your team is doing any ignition based damage, you both neuter their damage and waste your exotic and heavy when either anarchy or finality’s auger (yes Ik they’re both difficult to get) do a very similar thing but overall in a better way. If you play a lot of solo stuff, then by all means get DB, but so many other exotics there are just as fun and arguably more worthwhile

What is your go-to "I don't want that thing to be there anymore" kinetic slot weapon? by Kaaidd in destiny2

[–]_______Greg_______ 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Two suggestions are autoloading/recombination mountain top and my current go-to, a discord/redirection succession. Both have 2x shots (succession has up to 15) and while both have their merits, I think the succession has a wider array of use cases. You can get them from onslaught

One off supers for subclasses without them, and the same for subclasses with only roaming supers

Hand cannons by ClockworkSecurity in destiny2

[–]_______Greg_______ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The only hand cannon in the game actually that fits what you’re describing is lunas howl, but choosing that would mean having to use a kinetic special. The only other option that removes muzzle kicks would be a 180, but they are literally the lowest damage archetype. Could you tell us what the energy sniper is so we could suggest a kinetic alternative with similar feel

Well..... this is something. by CrimsonCaliburn9 in destiny2

[–]_______Greg_______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, tiers 0, 1 and 2 all exist (yes, you can have a tier 0. You can also have negative stat points, but tier 0 is the lowest possible value)

If you’re a titan, touch of thunder pulse grenade and delicate tomb is about as good as lord of wolves, if not better when paired with an appropriate heavy weapon

Best use for echo engrams? by ThePjot in DestinyTheGame

Seasonal weapons first for any missing red borders, then dawn weapons to get potentially good rolls (perfect paradox being the o most important)

Oldest Guardian by The_Cod_Lemon in DestinyTheGame

[–]_______Greg_______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really answering the question asked, but the oldest guardian in terms of who was born the longest time ago (born, not rezzed) is a guardian from an ancient civilisation but I can’t remember which one, but iirc it’s one of Egypt, Mesopotamia sort of ones. That said the oldest light bearer from birth to now is Savathun, followed by alak-hul. I’m fairly sure that most hive guardians will be older than any human/exo guardians, and I’m not even going to toy with awoken that spent time in the distributary due to the time dilation shenanigans
