Do you really want to know my process?

Lassiter:
Absolutely.

Shawn:
Well it starts with a holla! and ends with a Creamsicle.
I'm at 262 right now. I have off all day tomorrow too so I'm going to try to get to 280 at least. I haven't done the nightfall or the Crucible challenges yet either.

Edit: I also found my first Exotic Engram out in the wild and was super excited to open it. Got back to the tower and it yielded the only piece of exotic armor I already had.

My Titan's grenades take a bit to recharge with my current build, but my melee charges very fast.

I use Insurmountable Skullfort with Striker. As long as my melee kills, I get the charge back immediately. Even if I don't have the charge, killing an enemy with my melee triggers health regeneration and recharges the melee hit. It's great when I really need to heal and I have no cover nearby.

I should've been more specific, I meant the barrier, rift and dodge abilities new in D2. :shobon:
Hunter dodge is incredibly low cooldow, but it's also purely personal. I was wondering if the Titan and warlock ones are slower since they work for everyone.

I'm like 99% sure it's the raid.

If you look at the achievements you can get on the bone, one of them says to complete the "Leviathan" raid.

There's also a thing you can scan in one of the missions on Titan where your ghost says it's a system for detecting incoming ships wanting to dock, and it's picking up something absolutely massive underwater. Definitely going to be related to the raid.

The Leviathan is so big that it's literally planning to gobble up Nessus.

Do the Adventure in the southwest corner of Nessus (Invitation from the Emperor), it's cool and good.

Dude all this poo poo is in the game

the leviathan is the cabal emperor's ship and now that Ghaul is dead he's inviting loyalist red legion dudes back into the fold if they can accomplish poo poo for him. There's the 7th division on Nessus trying to get vex data about the planetoid's composition so it can be fed to the leviathan when the emperor drives it to the system. you gently caress up the 7th division and intercept a transmission from the emperor saying they don't get to rejoin but if anyone that doesn't suck rear end can get the job done they are welcome back to the fold when he arrives

Also, they want Nessus so they can grind it to dust and make wine out of it. The Cabal are hedonists.

There's a fish that's like, building sized outside the window on Titan when you're under sea level. This is tiny compared to the planet sized "leviathan" on fundament that got hosed up by the neo-hive. There's a bunch of bad info and theorycrafting flying around because of a medium sized fish being confused with a planet sized worm God rival and Reddit being bad.

My bad, I meant recoil, damage is on weapons. I guess my real question is do mods apply at all in the Crucible?

Also I've gotten six exotics (only one's armor), broken down enough stuff for 30 shards, have 230 or so light, and I'm decked out in legendaries. I guess I'm ready for the raid and nightfall when I get to it. :v:

raid is probably going to be 280 light so you're basically just starting.

you burned all your legendaries early and basically grinded "incorrectly" which is very much a thing in this stupid series.

Welp!

The legendaries were all 210 or so and I have a full second set of 220-230 (seriously with zero grinding, just following milestones in between missions) so it's not that bad.

we don't even actually know that the raid requires 280 to go in, but 230 is probably not high enough. also, don't forget that things like the nightfall and call to arms milestones are almost definitely weekly.

play patrol for 8 hours so you get like 20 sets of legendary turn ins for devrim kay, then do the story and you will get a ton of bright engrams from all the exp it gives, then do the exotic quests and milestones 1 by 1 and if you spaced it all out correctly you'll be at 285 and raid ready with no alts needed.

it's dumb but this is how you do it. you can get to 265 with basically just blues so dont waste your good drops before then.

Don't worry about breaking 280 this week. The way Power scales, you just need to exceed the power level for an activity and you're doing the Max Possible Damage. You gain trivial amounts of damage resistance as you push higher above the activity's power level.

Unless you're doing the 300 Prestige Nightfall, there's nothing in the game above 260 right now.

Tuesday you'll get showered in weekly loot so fast you'll be above 280 in no time.

Bets on the Raid unlock/recommended levels? I'm thinking 250 unlock, 270 rec.

(If you're not 280 you'll probably crest it after the first raid section drops something, and the first section will in all likelihood be 270 recommended)

Should I decrypt any yellow engrams I get or wait until I'm max light

Engrams Power level is determined at the moment it drops- so its in your benefit to decrypt them ASAP, the only exception is engrams that are presented as rep gains or milestone rewards that are held onto by a vendor or such person- those will calculate light level based on when you take them from the vendor.

SO if you reach a milestone at a low power level, then go level up a bit, and then go back and get the reward from the vendor, it will re-calculate the dropped light level for that reward. An engram that you have in your own posession, however is going to stay at whatever calculated level it was when it dropped
