Are you going to eat it?

Yeah but new different weapons or just more crucible stuff?

I stick to range and religiously disengage if I'm losing or low health so I don't really feel like recovery would serve me much in Crucible, especially given the other ways it would change my build, the way armor stats work.

Have you tried your pve stats in pvp? I would flip your loadouts, but we all play differently.

LMAO no

Man I cannot get my hunter's recovery higher than like 5. I can max mobility easily, and I can ALMOST full-stack Resilience, but I cannot get anywhere close to top tier recovery, even using Yung Ahamkara. I don't think there's any armor sets that have NO Mobility.

It's the price we pay for Foetracer and Knucklehead Radar.

There probably is a kickass sword but weapon drops will be a subset of the full IB set, that's how it's always worked. Maybe the engrams you get from tokens or challenges will have different rules than matches.

There are not hunter armor sets with no mobility. All hunter armor has at least 1 so the lowest theoretical mobility Stat is going to be 4. I would use grenade CD mods and resilience mods where you can and I run like x/6/2-3 or something.

Beyond 6 is a waste due to diminishing returns on stats. I think it's like 3:1 up to 6 then 1:1 after.

They have literally never not highlighted the weapons for sale/rewarded during IB so if they actually have something in the pipeline I will be impressed.

Seems insane to not at least preview them. Get everyone moist and horned for new stuff.

I'd be willing to guess there's just powerful rewards of crucible weapons.

Yeah, that's a good list. Did the raid last night we only got to the gauntlet. Only two of us had experience doing the raid and only one guy knew the gauntlet. It was a lot of fun, and frustrating of course.

Was that the one where we did the dogs right away, but ended up spending two hours playing Ninja Warritard?

The difference between 10 and 0 is about 4 seconds. Between 10 and 5 is about 2.5 seconds, so it's a more or less linear scale.

That's not nothing, unless you got enemies politely not hunting you down after an exchange.

Does anyone have any good destiny2 pvp montages of teamshooting the hell out of scrubs with Midas or even better ducking behind the corner just in time to force the other guy to reload his Uriel's while you still have bullets in yours? Could also use some 3-shot melees while invis.

I stick to range and run away, reposition, reapproach. Cowardly way to play to some, perhaps, Idgaf. I get chased down a lot but it very seldom works out well for them, I always lead them right to my teammates or by the time they can do anything, I'm positioned and healed, ready for them to turn a corner. Lone Wolf a lot, I do my own thing and flank or bully the dudes on opposing teams trying to do the same, or I hang back and to the side of my teammates, aid in their aggressive approach while healing and keeping alive.

It's playstyle, ultimately. Fight Forever emblem has my efficiency at 2.7x so I'm not a complete slouch, I just like to have more room to take abuse than I do to get over it.

Most definitely. My current build has 5 recovery, I think? I'm running all Trials armor + Stompees, but with a combo of raid and random engram drops I was shifting between 4-8 recovery.
