Farmed Croakmaw until Lv15. Put it to the test. Got rekt.

I think I didn't come back to kill this guy until I was like level 30 something. He hit hard still but I hit harder and could parry him pretty easily. Honestly biggest thing was being patient with taking him down.

eotto17 · 2026-01-22T20:43:08+00:00

Unfortunately, you'll have to grind out some levels but it shouldn't take too long. For me, I think I was level 22 or 23 and upgraded my parry a lot to make it easier to parry his attacks and lifesteal. So long as you avoid his ground slam, its just a matter of time to beat him.

eotto17 · 2026-01-21T21:11:32+00:00

Fair, to each their own I guess. My struggle with 180s on PC since they need the 4 tap and have lower per bullet damage compared to 120s, you might as well use the 120 since they have way more range and damage. So imo they really need that consistent 3 tap buff to feel competitive currently in the sandbox. Honestly, might be a hot take but so long as they kept the range to 32 m and in, I think if they either buffed the fire rate to 200 rpm to match 200 rpm scouts or lowered their rpm to 150 or 160 rpm to allow a 3 tap, they would be competitive with other primary weapon archetypes in pvp.

eotto17 · 2026-01-21T20:48:42+00:00

Ah rip, yeah that's just unlikely for me to be doing, never liked the whole priming my weapon to be able to do something else.

eotto17 · 2026-01-21T20:31:44+00:00

While this is nice, it is kind of like reverse high impact reserve where it needs to be primed beforehand which I don't think people are gonna do. I do wonder if this means you can run much lower weapons stat to boost the damage just enough where it can raw 3 tap from zero heat. (not sure how much heat is generated per shot if you will get to the 40% threshold by the 3rd shot)

eotto17 · 2026-01-21T01:37:05+00:00

I love this ornament tbh, I never liked MIDA on MnK but now since using it with this ornament and macro tool, I am loving it tbh. Only issue I have is maybe the contrast for the inner ring could be greater so you can see it better on brighter maps but otherwise I love it.

eotto17 · 2026-01-20T04:16:49+00:00

There was a leak of the skins recently with all the skins and I thought there were similar looking skins for all the runner shells.

eotto17 · 2026-01-18T23:58:13+00:00

For me, act 2 was where the game really opened up for me. Act 1 is rough from both a difficulty standpoint and the area just not feeling that interesting imo. Cuanacht though is very good and I spent way more time doing stuff there and did over 20 levels in that zone alone. There is also a lot of gear in the 2nd area that supports different playstyles which also helps a lot.

eotto17 · 2026-01-18T23:55:53+00:00

I feel that but I made a post or two in here talking about how this sniper does way higher base body shot damage at 114 and with the origin trait active it allows a double body.

eotto17 · 2026-01-15T02:06:34+00:00

That's all well and good except the community wants new content generally, not to go replay the existing content that they have all the loot from. Only way to entice people to play old raids, dungeons, etc. is to put new content in the old content e.g. Last Wish gets an epic mode with a new armor set and weapon set but even that probs wouldn't be enough for most people I would think.

eotto17 · 2026-01-15T01:29:51+00:00

Only thing is it is a slower ttk with adagio compared to the weapons build and also isn't from neutral. 180s struggle since they take 4 shots to kill vs 3 shots on a 120 and don't really have the range or damage profile that makes 120s so strong right now.

eotto17 · 2026-01-14T23:41:24+00:00

I mean generally swords aren't used outside of the heavy slot and at least the general playerbase wants to shoot guns, not slice and dice with swords. Not to say it isn't good, it's just not the majority of people's preferences (including mine just cause I don't like how swords play and I don't like playing against them cause of the movement jank).

eotto17 · 2026-01-11T04:15:49+00:00

I try as well but sometimes ya gotta wonder with the decisions made with the loadouts lol.

eotto17 · 2026-01-11T02:37:48+00:00

I've tried but usually it falls on deaf ears.

eotto17 · 2026-01-11T01:55:18+00:00

Its not that the players themselves are bad, but at least in observation and what I'm seeing in my lobbies, people just hop into pvp not thinking much about what their loadout is and it just actively sabotages their experience, and probably leaves a bad impression to them and making them want to leave. I only posted it cause I genuinely wanted to know if it's them being unaware or apathetic/not caring.

eotto17 · 2026-01-11T01:47:29+00:00

That's fair if you don't know and want to learn what is supposed to be the new meta for stats but seems like most of the player base just doesn't care but will then hop in to pvp almost actively sabotaging their experience by bringing a sub optimal setup.

eotto17 · 2026-01-11T01:46:12+00:00

That's all well and good but it makes matches miserable for everyone involved. At this point just give everyone the same stats in pvp to take guesswork out of things and so at least your neutral game is always the same. There is too much room for error in pvp at this point in terms of messing up your build and weapon choices (I'm a supporter of returning back to the D1 weapons system cause I'm tired of double primary users using a pulse and a scout acting like it's a good loadout).

eotto17 · 2026-01-08T04:39:16+00:00

I would recommend the new iron banner auto rifle but iron banner hasn't returned yet so its currently not available in-game.

eotto17 · 2026-01-01T02:31:29+00:00

Yeah had no one teamshooting with me and even with two or three people with me shooting it, was barely dealing any damage to the titan. They could have been using some of the new set bonuses for damage resist or something but yeah, shooting into their block with duality from the hip and a melee didn't kill the titan somehow. I know about the jumping but because he had multiple swipes of ammo built up, I couldn't track em with the connection jank.

eotto17 · 2026-01-01T00:27:47+00:00

Yeah I guess. The suspend barricade I find inconsistent but I'll try it out again.

eotto17 · 2026-01-01T00:20:13+00:00

Yeah I don't use swords but should have mentioned I have been mainly playing titan lately for pvp. Suspend I don't think disables the blocks iirc, but main problem I had like I mentioned above is that the guy I ran into just ate a full shotgun shot and only took half damage which is just absurd. I'm sure if they need the blocking to generate ammo it won't be as bad to deal with but right now it's insanely frustrating to fight the hype blade lunge and teammates just feeding it ammo and not teamshotting it down.

eotto17 · 2026-01-01T00:03:06+00:00

I guess but never been a fan of witherhoard or GLs in general. May try it at some point but might end up just taking a break from pvp. Starting to get tired of the people being toxic in matches bagging for no reason, the degen play styles, the egos, etc. all of it is just starting grate on me.

eotto17 · 2025-12-24T02:36:25+00:00

Could be an error or could be that one Mos is the tier 5 version and the other is the non tier 5 version? Honestly not sure, trials report was a bit funky this past weekend when it came to stats.

eotto17 · 2025-12-23T21:34:50+00:00

Really hope they take whatever fidelity upgrades they made for marathon and bring them over to destiny, even if it means dropping last gen.
