What do you mean? The mods I was talking about seem to drop exclusively on dreaming city reward gear (and they can't be salvaged and reused like normal mods(?

Oh, sorry, was just asking a question in general, not talking about that. Those mods are specific to dreaming city gear and can be exchanged by mods that remove the extra damage taken by doing activities that reward trascendent blessing mods.

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

Do those "enhanced" perks start appearing at some specific level or something? Haven't gotten any weapon or armor with any yet.

enhanced perks only show up on dreaming city/raid gear iirc

there's no specific level it's just pretty rare


And yeah the shards of galanor are fantastic. They aren't quite as consistent as rigs are for tether imo, but blade barrage is better offensive/pvp super so getting even like a third back is huge. And you can pretty easily get all of it back by hitting a big group in pve or a triple in pvp. A++ exotic

drat, thanks. I'm guessing armor with those perks is one of those things I'm never going to actually get, like Y2 exotics.

The only problem with it is how finicky it is. Sometimes I’ll get 4 seconds of trigger after bombing one huge boss, sometimes I’ll only get 2 seconds of trigger from clearing like 10 adds. I can’t tell if it’s damage done, enemies tagged, a combo or what but yeah it’s probably the best hunter exotic in the game.

I decided to do one Crucible match before bed last night and walked away with an Outlaw/Kill Clip Better Devils, so Shaxx is my new best friend.

Unfortunately it has like no range-increasing perks and a handling masterwork, but it's still probably the best-feeling gun I've ever encountered in this game. At least for PvE I doubt I'm letting go of this thing for anything short of an even better roll of the same weapon.

I got my butt touched by this guy in quick play last night: https://destinytracker.com/d2/profile/psn/IlZeusll

94% QP winrate, 4.1 KD. He was in a 6-stack with multiple not forgottens. We were doing control on the burnout. They went hard on making sure B never capped for either team, I guess to manage spawns and ensure that they could maximize the number of kills they got before winning. It was really rough.

yep. that's exactly how you play burnout on control. its a straight shot between A and C which forces the other team outside spawn which inevitably splits them as they try to tackle A and C which are also way easier to defend.

To be clear, they capped A, let us cap C, and then made sure B was never capped. Then they stomped us into a paste

yeah they went the extra mile to make sure the game didn't mercy you so they could kill you for the most amount of time.

Optimal strat is to let team capture two points and have a dummy account in your fire team to rush in and die a lot. Then once scrub team passes the threshold where a mercy can't happen any more they idle the dummy account and go full murder mode.

Yeah Ursas are hella fun in crucible and iron banner because pubbies are dumb. Eventually people are gonna wise up, but until then, even one dude magdumping an AR into your shield is enough to give you nearly a full charge after it's done, so long as you don't actually die before the super is up. It's disgusting and fun and I'm gonna be real sad when it gets nerfed/people wise up to it.

exactly yeah

It seems like it's based on direct knife hits, and kills. And I dunno, I feel like there's maybe something about successive hits on the same dude and/or the second wave counts more or something.

So like if the first wave kills all the adds, you get piddly and If a knife doesn't hit right on but explodes nearby, you get less. Or something I dunno.

Feels like the 'best' would be a large group of red bars and elites, maybe a boss, so that you get a mix of kills and hits on things that can survive the first wave. Or... hell if I know.

I finished Warmind today and I can confirm that blade barraging the face of that final worm boss would instantly refill my super back to like 95%

Haha i play with that dude every now and again when he sees we have a free spot on our firearm. Never says a word.

About 40 of those losses are black screens, error codes and other general bungie fuckery.

We were raiding earlier this week and this guy joined our LFG post and finished with us. Someone immediately recognized his name as “the guy who is always dunking on me in comp.” I looked him up:

It seems to me that they hosed with the haunted forest difficulty. The very first time I tried it, I got to like branch 6 and now I'm having trouble getting to branch 5 with a fully customized mask and like 10 power levels more. I'm getting poo poo like four ogres and an ogre proxy in like the second stage of the third branch. Also, a lot more of gimmicky rooms like the classic all sword knight plus invincible nightmare.
