Good Hunter, what... what is this post?

Man. Why are all the pretty armours Mobility?

EDIT : Also, just found out they put the nightfall type modifiers in the Mercury Heroic missions... but the heroic strikes are still just bigger numbers? Not even a second shield colour turning up?

I'm just happy that hunters didn't get super shafted this time, the mercury set and the dawning set are both recovery!

I love the look of Khepri's Horn and it's got Zero Mobility. My mobility is 2, while I've been able to balance my Resilience and Recovery at 6 and 5. Not being able to wear more than one exotic is annoying. I want to wear both the Horn and Aeon Safe gauntlets

Played the raid lair for the first time last night. That's some fun poo poo. The boss fight is real gud robot killin' and the encounter itself isn't frustrating team-wipe synchronized swimming.

It also goes without saying that the environments in the lair are gorgeous.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

What strategy did you use?

I've done about 3 hours of Attempted Argos Killin' and would describe every second of it as frustrating team-wipe synchronized swimming.

We did the whole two barrier-dps phases after we learned that you can predict the second set of orbs from the first set (Arc -> Void -> Solar, same as the room in a clockwise order). First team charges skulls for the first set of barriers, second team charges for the next set of barriers. After the first barrier phase, first team goes to charge skulls at the new platform, second team goes to retrieve the skulls they initially charged.

A few tips: sustained damage is the key to stopping his wipe-mechanic, I was using actium war rig and sweet business. Also you don't have to kill two of the same body-part, sometimes it's easier to just do two of whatever side. And don't cook skulls that you can't use, there can only be 6 skulls at a time, cooked or uncooked, so you might gently caress up a spawn.

Alrighty then, sounds like I just need to trick some goons on discord to let me into a normal mode raid sometime.

also the new shaders don't stack if they come from different activities (so that shaders from eververse will shred into dust, and those earned in game will drop legendary shards) . According to Bungie twitter, there are four shaders, which means you could lose up to 8 slots of your already overloaded shader inventory.

No, that was from one of my Well-Rested Brights. I think I've spent maybe $50 in D2 Eververse total, including $10 today.
