After spending all this week trying to get a god roll on the IB pulse rifle, I get a rank up package from Variks that has a Send It/Full Auto/Counterbalance pulse rifle in it.

Fuuuuuck me had 4 games tonight where I threw up a 2 or 3 clanger and still only won or lost by 200 or so points.

If diamond 1 in ELO why the gently caress am I stuck with cunts getting a .3 kd and 0 captures? Every game, two or three redbars glitching around.

Sweating my balls out just to lose by a kill or two. So frustrating.

All I wanted was one usable waylorans couldnt get one to drop.

At least the boots and arms I got are useful.

Bungie is using you to balance out everyone else in the match. Your experience dosent matter to them, only how your performance fits their player retention formula means anything.

this is usually my experience except that i am average at best but often get matched up with 5 idiots against a team of 5 idiots and one decent player. it comes down to how well i do against/avoid the decent player

Same. The only real variety I get is when I get stomped a couple matches in a row with no idiots on the other team, presumably to keep my amazing 1.5 k/d in check.

Ive seen a few judith d and first curses this IB i really dont get the attraction.

The Judith can two shot the lower light level players. If you damage someone enough before they get behind cover, the explosive rounds can finish them off. Plus the explosions do the same amount of damage regardless of range.

I'm seriously considering collecting the gear to go 5/2/5 on my Gunslinger since Bungie decided tripmines needed to be nerfed into the loving ground and I still need a way of countering shotgun belligerence.

It's not nearly as effective but it's honestly the only option the subclass has now unless I want to spend the entire match hardscoping 8 billion miles out. bee tee dubs, don't even bother with Incidieary Blade. It only procs maybe 50% of the time and when it does it amounts to 4 ticks of 1 damage. I think I killed one person with DoT over the entire course of IB.

Speaking of IB:

1 character to 5
6 gloves
8 boots
2 Nirwens
3 Weylorans (all garbage rolls)

The vendor Nirwens is a PvE workhorse.
The vendor Weylorans is garbage. Max stability or bust.

One of the two Nirwens did drop like this though



It's got the range to spare with HLS and max stability + FLA5 + double damage boosters = tits

Best shotgun counter I've come up with is a bullet hose and fusion rifle combo. They're the only things out there that have a consistent chance to kill a shotgun rusher before they close to OHK range.

Each weapon works differently though, fusions are better for sliders because you just arc your bolts downwards and should be able to roast them. But the AR is better at range.


Omnipresent strikers are a hilarious counter too. Was rolling with four titans yesterday, all of us had armamentarium on. Routes were constantly blanketed in lightning and rushers didn't have a chance.

Rank 5 and the only nirwens I got was the vendor one I bought.
Thanks for that poo poo ghost and ironwreath with last resort saladin.

5 solo games today, and 4 losses.
Almost 5, cause the randoms on shores of time just really wanted to blow a 4k point lead trying to loving take the A point for a triple cap.
I can no longer solo queue, as the game now considers me 'good'.

I love fusion rifles and they are the only other special I would use as much as a sniper but they have one huge problem. The second the game see's a red bar anywhere in a match their hit detection goes to poo poo.

It's me, the guy in the party room on Twilight Gap wrecking your poo poo with a Thesan.

Thesan is cool and good but I tend towards my Ashraven's these days because it gets 7 rounds from every special crate. :v:

After the 9 minute mark I can main that fucker the rest of the game if I want.

IB drops felt pretty steady to me, but I attribute a lot of that to delaying hitting rank 5 until today. It kept ghosts out of the pool and I got several drops. No god roll weapons but a bunch of infusion bait which I was running low on anyways.

I also got two primary exotic engrams which are super rare for me (it's almost always heavy or helmets) so that should be nice to have in my pocket when ROI launches.

I thought I was going to bank engrams but my vault is stuffed to the brim on weapons. Literally out of space and using alts to shuffle poo poo around. I'm actually out of things to 335 so I just parked my 3oC count at 200 and am just sitting on on strange coins.

- 335 purp swords as heavy place holders
- Terminus, Truth, Ash Factory
- 3 whatever guns in each class @ 335 for future fodder on my alts

I need more vault space, Bungie. :cry:

Is there some good explanation of how exactly infusion works since the April update?

Do the attribute bonuses of the infused armor increase along with the power level or what?
