You left right at the point it became good, literally everthing released since then including TTK has been much better than everything before TTK.

Oh sweet. Well, since I'm getting a boost with the new content, which class should I dump that on?

Hey goons,

Been a while since I posted here but just wanted to let everyone know that I've started a new Destiny PvP Map Guide video series on youtube. I know its typically a bit late in the game's life cycle for this kind of thing but I figure there may be some Black Friday/Xmas kinderguardians out there and besides Im using it as a dress rehearsal for Destiny 2.

Here's the first video (for Black Shield) in the series:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWdNUaDONxQ

Comments and feedback would be appreciated!
Video was not annoying to watch, placing it head and shoulders above 95% of game related content You Tube dot com.

The boost things kinda suck, I mean you get the levels but you are a level 25 or 40 whatever with nothing but your first grenade unlocked in 1 subclass.

But the missions will still be easier because you will be over leveled. You'll get better light drops too.

True, maybe the late game stuff will be hard without any of the armor/recovery boosts from the skill tree or your super but patrols and early missions are easy. I used a 25 on a char this weekend and leveled it to 40 almost exclusively in SRL.

I was capped on each class at the time I quit, so I'm pretty sure I have some progress into each of the subclasses except the new one. Not sure how much that matters.

The new ones were all significantly OP but now they are just kinda OP with voidwalker, striker and blade dancer having made comebacks of varying degrees for various skill floors.

Can't sleep on the fun factor that Sunbreaker brings. Incendiary grenades (or fusions), Hammer of Sol and titan skating are all rad as gently caress and conducive to a "fly around the map" playstyle, which is what I think is the best part of Destiny.

Yeah, high mobility is so much fun in this game that every time players start to master it Bungie takes it away.

Hidden sprint cooldowns, blink got hosed, twilight garrison got hosed, shadestep got hosed. Only thing that hasn't been messed with is skating.

So I just realized the NM bullet hose can roll HCR/PB/CB or HCR/SB/CB. Anyone have either roll? Thoughts?

Just got HCr/SB/Persistence and it's awesome for PvE but the initial accuracy and recoil is bad. But i can't even imagine getting hit by an HCR bullethose.

Sunbreaker with the 10 second grenade cooldown when super charged is nasty as gently caress. Incendiaries own

You won't make many orbs unless you get lucky but holy poo poo area denial and it's fun listening to fireteam members bitch about visibility and framerate.

Sunbreaker with fast grenades is hilarious in mayhem.. they're the fastest grenade cycling in the game. You can hang back and lob mortars until your bumper wears out. Both the incendiary and fire wall ones are fun.

I have a HCR/PB/persistence Extremophile with sureshot as a scope option. If I get the first shot and the range is close enough, I win most 1v1s.

That's a mid impact, not low impact. The NM one can be a doctrine style with HCR.

The most you can get from a heavy box is 70 rounds, and field scout with no ammo perks gets 68. Not a big deal.

I'm quoting this from memory, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I can place one order with the gunsmith thanks to suffering through crucible matches with those guns (the hc wasn't too bad) and finding two of those fusion rifle things, is there anything worth ordering this week?

The dis-43 can be a really really good PvE gun. Doesn't shine in pvp but oh well.

The suros jlb-42 can be a very good RL because it can roll javelin, heavy payload and proximity detonation. Great roll for PvE or pvp. Unfortunately it's hard to roll this so you might be sitting on the package a few weeks.

I'd go with the dis43 unless you already have a good scout rifle.

The other 3 guns are poo poo.
