Sights are: Red Dot OAS, Ranged Lens RLS3, TrueSight IS
1st Column: Zen Moment
2nd Column: High Caliber Rounds, Hand Laid Stock, Rifled Barrel
3rd Column: Outlaw

Hahaha yeah dude you don't need any more scout rifles for PvE.

If you can make that work with OAS and rifled use that. The stability is probably good enough from OAS and zen moment and the rifled reload penalty is completely offset by outlaw. If it's still not stable enough with rifled use hand laid. That's a really sweet roll.

Cool, I'll jam the next blue primary above 360 into it and play with it. My palindrome is halfway through the final bubble so I can start leveling the scout.

while you are reviewing guns, is this sniper worth hanging onto for awhile or should I throw 150 marks at the vendor version and shard it?

Sweet PvE roll with casket mag. That's a poo poo ton of DPS if you can manage the stability.

Yeah it will all come down to the scope. Vendor has spray and play and short gaze. So your dps is probably the same there in the long run even without casket mag.

The viewtac scope is really good but you'll get flinched to hell using it under fire.

Probably not worth wasting 150 marks if you can stand the scopes on yours. You could also make due with yours in pvp in a pinch as you have QuickDraw.

I'm doing a big lmao at the Reddit bitchfest about the subpar stat rolls on the iron lord artifacts and not being able to hit t12 with them....have anyone ever thought that Bungie is balancing them because you get a free ability?

The only true t12 roll we've seen has been the reduced dot one, which is a passive (I think there was a skorri that works in t12 if all your other gear is 99%+). It's obviously intentional.

The artifacts can roll pretty high anyways, I've seen some 96% and 98% rolls and I don't even watch the stats obsessively.

It's all RNG and Bungie is happy making people wait to get the perfect min/max setup.

96 and 98% rolls don't get you t12 unless your gear is nuts. You need the broken int/dis 114% ones.

Well my point was they can roll high, and it seems more likely to me we just haven't been blessed by RNG with any 100% rolls.

Everything in Destiny comes down to RNG.

In that case, there's no reason to keep Y1 exotics in your vault. The exotic blueprint storage by the Vanguard save all the Y1 exotics that you have acquired, and if there is a Y2/3 version, you can buy it from the storage for 125 legendary marks (or 1 exotic shard if you already own an updated version)

Do I have to deposit them in the blueprint storage? Only asking because my Hunter has several equipped currently.

Sorry, seems like a lot has changed since I last played. Still trying to get my bearings.

Nope, if you own the exotic it magically unlocks in the kiosk and you can dismantle your exiting guns whenever you want. In theory if you have ever owned it should be there too, but I seem to recall when Bungie did the update not everyone got credit for all exotics.

No, you can just dismantle them. Any exotics that you have ever gotten are stored in the blueprint storage (weapons and armor).

I've got nothing to do at the moment if you want someone to help you out with all the new stuff in-game. You on PS4?

I think it only unlocked what you had in your inventory and vault at the time. That's what it did for me, anyway.

Yeah, it was supposed to be based on your inventory and vault but not necessarily exotics you had had once in the past and trashed.

Pro tip for getting the merciless weekly strike bounty done:

When you load into the new sepkis strike, double back to the divide and go into the rooms where the new assasination patrols spawn. No one will be with you and there are 10+ mooks in each room.

I just banged out that thing on my alt in about 5 minutes.

Yes, the only thing they're good for now is unlocking Vault of Glass gear. Same with radiants/crota gear.

Heads up that if you do this and re-buy the exotic, the ornaments do not carry over. Not sure if bug or feature.

Yeah just use Thunderlord because it's only 6 notes to level it if you have a mg class item and there's no ornament danger.

I hit Tier 12 using Silamars artifact from week 1 on my Striker.

I think every other one so far doesn't cut it (for my build, at least)

Edit. Yeah the skorries comes close but is a couple of points off for me

Yeah that's the one that reduces dot damage right?

Yeah I can roll 5/2/5 storm or 5/5/2 void with the silimar but reduced DoT doesn't matter in 3s. If I get caught in a wombo I'm still dead because of the nade.

I'll use it in 6s tho as I see lots of incendiary pros and nothing makes me happier than putting my nuts right on one and walking away after the poor sap saw the 170 and got excited.

Yeah thats the one.

I like it cuz there are a few thing that do dot damage and on a max armor titan it makes me feel every more beefy.

If I'm playong against camping fucks in trials ill switch to lame skorries though (once i get super because im a bad person).

I dont want to use jolders because if i get used to it, it will gently caress me. Same applies to dune marchers and twlight etc.
