That's why I like clap too. It works if your teammate does something dope, if you lose to someone doing something dope or if you poo poo on a laggy idiot babby.

I feel like Bungie read that post and decided to poop in my butt to solidify the change. Titan runs at me. I hear an enemy super in the background, I'm on point B so I Shadowshot his face. He fists me and I die. He takes 0 damage from my Shadowshot and it disappears immediately.

Some gameplay from this weeks trials map: https://youtu.be/0-HNBCUnZ7Y

We lost the first round and it's a pretty good example of why i always play the rez. These guys were decent and it was a well fought match, so it's not the curb stomping gameplay i usually post. My clutch in the heavy round was pretty good though.

So you and Bob lost 2 games? Your 3rd must of been a bit of a spud.

Our first loss was just bad luck 4 to 4 against recognised players - heading into the final round I had my slam up. Our third got in my way at the doorway into top mid with a titan steaming in and a warlock not far behind. Me and the opposing titan both let fly with our slams and his landed a bees dick before mine (our 3rd actually tried blaming the loss on me for "pushing him" when he rushed stairs by skating in front of me and stopped dead in the door way). So he got the double. Which left bob in a 1 v 3 against quality.

Our final loss was just dogshit all round, all 6 in the lobby were on yellow bars and hit registration went to poo poo. At one point I mag dumped a hunter and only 3 of the 8 seemed to actually record a hit - had to punch him twice to get him down on top of that because the first punch which gave me the hit noise and animation didn't register damage. Bob didn't seem to be too interested toward the end and became a bit salty, our third pretty much stopped talking. At one point I actually had to ask "can you hear me?" because there was no talk and call outs.

We still managed to claw it to 4-3 but lost in the end. Sort of gave me the shits the last loss because we went away from being aggressive. The first two rounds we made it a scrap and won with good grenade work and team shooting. We were even out playing them as individuals but there wasn't any real coordination - someone would try to warrior mid map with a sniper and then complain no one was with them or I'd push hard get a kill or a trade and be all alone, - I'm not gonna start telling someone how to suck eggs in their own stream but we should have won the last game. Instead of controlling mid and looking for map control our strategy kind of shifted to more passive play and when the connections go to poo poo that's a losing proposition and we lost because of it.

I want to play fast and make someone else handle the pressure. The back map bullshit where someone tries to get one pick frustrates me no end. I'd rather force the issue than wait for someone to gently caress up. It was a decent run, just a bit frustrating when instead of being any kind of constructive your team mates just get critical about petty poo poo like a lag trade in a shoot out. 2 of the other games I had a 6 and a 7 kd with a lot of double snipes mid map, heavy control was solid, everything was going well, we just lost our chemistry toward the end. I need to play more threes.

Sounds like you need another teammate who isn't a salty babby. If playing CS has taught me anything it's that chemistry and positivity is absolutely crucial to do well in a game so centered around map control and comms.

10 armor. Either max armor ram lock or max striker. I think max defender with void armor might survive it also.

Light level is irrelevant, you just need to go max armor and then pick Unstoppable in the last perk tree.

Pretty sure this isn't right. I'm 11 armor right now and I get one shotted by it constantly. Unless you mean 10 armor plus that other poo poo. I guess Hunters are SOL?

If you're a striker I thought you could do it with Max armor and unstoppable but you may need the chest piece that gives the bonus for arc based subclasses.

Not in normalized crucible. 10 armor at 140 light has just as many hit points as at 335 light. Same for IB too I think, you just take more damage from a higher light enemy.

The armor bar is only filled by subclass perks and the chest slot armor perk. Well and the Ram for warlocks.

I guess I wasn't clear. Doesn't a class item that is 335 contribute more actual Int/Dis/Str than an item at, say, 300 light? It should be easier to get to T10, 11 or 12 with items that are higher light because each individual item contributes more points to your total?

strikers survive shoulder charge with arc armor + unstoppable, and with a sliver of health. nothing else survives, except maybe a ram warlock with element armor, but i don't think so.

also, yes, but your intellect/disc/str split has nothing to do with your ability to survive shoulder charges, which is what people are talking about.

Ram survives it. Not sure if you need the armor chest.

Ok. I thought I remembered someone mentioning you needed to be t11 or t12 to survive shoulder charge. I guess that's one more reason to roll Titan. I love fusions in PvP right now and making GBS threads on every single shoulder charge nerd would feel so good. I can't even count the number of times I've died mid fusion burst to a charge.
