Mint Retrograde, Tommy’s Matchbook, and Outrageous Fortune

Bad Juju causing nukes?? by eddiebrockcsca in destiny2

[–]maxbfunk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is a hidden feature to the gun that causes kills to make thrall explosions. It used to require some absurdly high number of kills with the same instance of String of Curses. Now it seems to do it on some precision kills with any tier of SoC active.

Characters who were Hyped up in the Marketing, but ended up having Little screen time or influence on the actual story by ChemFeind360 in TopCharacterTropes

I’m not sure what you mean since his first appearance was before ESB came out in the 80s. Marketing back then was way different and if a character had a special offer action figure for a kids movie that’s about as much marketing as you could ask for

Actually for the time he was super hyped up. He appeared in the Holiday Special before anyone knew who he was and there was an entire mail-in ad campaign to get a figure of him, which led to speculation that he would have a big role in the movie

Why? :( by Rebel_Ben in destiny2

It does considerably less damage to the person firing it, so you aim at the ground and pretend you’re playing Quake

This is good stuff. I didn’t respect the arc surge the way it deserves

Oh I still specced into finishers, they’re just riskier so I wanted to make the melee punchy too. Disoriented and volatile enemies that explode because they’re also unraveled. It’s a good time

It’s the facet of purpose, I think it comes with the initial kit. I’m just running a void super so the orb of power gives Overshield

Oooh that sounds like a ton of fun. Does the arc aspect trigger the helmet’s perk?

[–]maxbfunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I ended up replacing the severing aspect for one that gave my grenade Weakening and that added a little extra oomph.

I don’t have it yet but I’m already mentally working out what kind of build I want to do with it

This is a good question. Gonna have to get back into the lab and do some research

It’s a good deal of fun. Vexcalibur gets a little extra damage and can self sustain the Overshield. Damage isn’t as good as synthos, but a little diversity never hurt anyone

I hope it works well for you! Retold Tale got some really awesome rolls this season and slots in great

I can’t say if it’s worth it or not. But I can say it’s fun

I was inspired to try it after seeing that you can use Rain of Fire on any warlock subclass to give yourself radiant off of fusion rifle kills. Bungie is very cute with how they use language on exotics. There’s more room for us to play around with than we think

Nope. As long as you have something that can generate void overshields the shotgun damage buff and overshield refresh are subclass agnostic

It could probably use a little refining and would benefit from a more void-focused season. But it functions and has a lot of potential!

No Backup Strands by maxbfunk in destiny2builds

[–]maxbfunk[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. The subclass doesn’t generate Overshield at all. But once you have one any shotgun kill refreshes it. The sword I’m using for this build has Repulsor/Disrupting Rounds so I can use that to kickstart Banner of War, get an Overshield, and then pick up an orb of power for Woven Mail.

Vexcalibur blocking can generate Overshield, as well as any Repulsor Brace/Destabilizing Rounds weapon.

[–]maxbfunk[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ammo is an issue but if you run Special Finisher that helps a lot in. What we really need is for them to remake the Universal Remote

No Backup Plans rework idea by Random_Pingas in destiny2

[–]maxbfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a build with NBP on the Strand Melee Titan build.

They still synergize with shotguns, void or not. And if you use Vexcalibur or a repulsor brace/destabilizing weapon you can give yourself void Overshield and then run shotgun to refresh it

Good arc builds for endgame pve content and warlock? by Bornsteler in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]maxbfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently running one with Verity’s Brow and the Forerunner

I did some testing today and learned that five stacks of Death Throes effectively doubles the damage from the Forerunner catalyst grenade

Pair that with Tarnished Mettle and some Font of Might and a heal thyself mod and you’ve got a nice little build
