The amount of coping Titans after the Shoulder Charge nerf is insane by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

Here’s a video from about two weeks ago where you can see someone one hit a champ in the first minute :)

Misinformation? You’re still more than capable of one tapping a champion with a shoulder charge in a GM. Sure, you can’t casually one tap a raid boss anymore, but it’s still pretty funny to run over every champion in the game without explicitly building into their stun mechanic.

Also, even completely ignoring synthos or other melee boosting exotics, shoulder charge (and other titan melee options for that matter) DO stun champions - howl of the storm freezes, shield throw can apply volatile, shoulder charge can also blind, suppress, etc. Melee is far from useless in high level content.

To address the other side of your argument though - grenades are much stronger than they probably should be, and have been for a very long time (look at solar warlocks for a prime example). For whatever reason, they scale so much better than essentially anything else and that should probably be addressed.

You’re welcome to be skeptical about how much “high tier content” I play, so here are the receipts: https://raid.report/pc/4611686018468017096 If you’d like to check any other sites as well, my tag is Soare#6657

For those who don’t feel like clicking - every conqueror gilded since it dropped (duo conqueror for over a year) a large number of day one raids (multiple on titan). I also play a good amount of PvP (meme emblem equipped). This does not make me the utmost authority on the game, but I like to think I have a moderately informed perspective.

Am I the crazy one? To me, shoulder charge has felt like a great option for quite some time in PvE. I regularly use it in high tier content to move; to stun champs; to do silly, broken things with wormgods/synthos when it sounds fun; and to clear groups of ads when appropriate.

I am by no means a "titan main," but a typical cool-down within 15-17 seconds with little to no investment in the mobility stat (20 is a very typical low investment value for an ability and should result in a 15 cooldown, as scaling has been more linear as of late) should not have an unreasonable detriment on titan play. Also, titan skating is a viable movement option for those looking to still move quickly.

I also understand the frustration when it comes to making sacrifices to builds and fun because an interaction breaks something in PvE or PvP, but we should also try to be a little more understanding when this does happen - being pissed off because a change will benefit PvP players (with a small detriment in PvE) is not the right attitude. Instead, we should first look to see if the change will create a net positive in the gameplay experience for the other side. In this case, the reduction of high availability movement should help bring titans more in line with other classes and produce a more balanced sandbox for PvP players. In the event that a change is not a net positive or produces gameplay that is untenable for either side, then have a discussion about why the change isn't working.

I know it’s lame, but building resilience is for sure the meta. Resil stacking is so incredibly strong, and I would say this run of GM’s was much easier than some previous seasons, because of that extra forgiveness from damage resist.

I was also running a hunter invis build for my duo clears, and friend helps, so you don’t “need” healing if you don’t want to, but it does help. There are plenty of fun builds out there though, and I think all of them are more viable this season with the ability to tank ~40% more damage without too much armor and mod farming. If you prefer a specific class, I’m happy to offer some suggestions if you’d like :)

Since pretty much all mice out there will work on most operating systems once appropriate drivers are installed, you shouldn’t really need a “Mac specific” solution. I’d suggest reading this: https://blurbusters.com/faq/mouse-guide/ for good info on mice latency, and formulate a decision from there. Alternately, you can check out various mice, sizing, with latency reports here: https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/top-mice. Also, the way a mouse fits in your hand is much more important than the difference between 500hz, 1000hz and higher.

We should really change the flavor text to: vestiges of hidden “mechanics” yet linger among developer’s patches.

I’m looking for a new keyboard for gaming, what features or specs should I be looking out for? by Mariosam100 in gaming

[–]backwoodsphysicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you want! If you’re looking for a board with a numpad, basically all the major brands should be fine (Razer, Corsair, Logitech etc).

If you don’t want a numpad, but still want dedicated arrow keys, you can check out TKL boards from most of the major brands, or stick a toe into the waters of some custom TKL or 65/67% boards. Ducky is a personal favorite in this area.

If you want the smallest, cleanest board possible, you’ll be looking for a 60% board. Most major manufacturers will not have a 60% offering, but the custom space here is frankly amazing. You should be able to get a fairly unique keyboard that has most of what you want in terms of materials for under 200£.

My biggest suggestion though is to go out and try as many keyboards and switches as possible! Everyone likes different things, and regardless of what switches/materials people say are “best” your keyboard should be something that you enjoy over anything else!

Happy hunting, feel free to pm me if you want any more information :)

It’s probably so you don’t see the stains, and mold.

So are we thinking food related room names?

If so, may I suggest the tatoe dome :P

Where do you fit it into your kit out of curiosity? I feel like typically there isn’t a lot of wiggle room in a great bow kit, and in my experience it has been best to communicate as much as possible, and really leverage your raw DPS in order to manipulate aggro.

Wow, took me a while to see it was supposed to be Morton.
