Against the pve mobs level doesn't matter, it's all normalized.

Against the pvp invaders level does matter, but chances are they'll be using heavy (or rarely supers) that would kill you instantly anyway. If you're not invading then it really won't make a huge difference.

You have to unlock at least the first forge, but that will only give you once chance a week. I’d say unlock at least 2 forges this week, then worry about Izanami next week. Bergusia is already unlocked, but you won’t be able to get Alpha frames without unlocking the other 3 forges.

For people like me just on the high end of average (1.67 kda, got a lunas last season), it seems like the vendor wishbringer with full choke, slideshot, and snapshot is about as good as it gets. I know it won't have as good base stats as DRB, but if I'm in the skill range I'm in, that's not going to matter too much and it's pretty much perfect if I'm rolling kinetic primary, right?

Yeah that's really good (what does it have on the second column? what is the mw?). I've gotten several wishbringers, I think my best one has slideshot, snapshot, accurized and smallbore, along with range mw.

Accurized/range MW. It's really good. All you have to do to be able to buy it is reset valor one (maybe only got legendary valor).

In pve I wanna put out as many shells as I can in a quick amount of time, but pvp I just wanna make sure that my one shot murders the thing in front of me.

That's really the difference between PVE and PVP in a nutshell- in the former you want sustained DPS so you can either move from enemy to enemy or burn down a giant HP pool, but in PVP you want to each engagement to deliver as close to one player's worth of damage as you can get without going under and then spend all the rest of your perks and tuning on making that one quantum of damage arrive quickly and reliably.

I'm unsure on my pve wishbringer but I'm thinking of settling on graverobber/autoloading for pure "never manually reload" ability.

I played Destiny 1 for almost 700 hours and never noticed the crosshairs jumping around like that. :stare: I may be blind, which would explain my kdr.

the ambush scope specifically was very fast and handled flinch very well. it fell out of favor when shortgaze hit the scene and people figured out it gave an AA bump (while ambush actually took AA away).

its used in blint builds which are a lot more popular with bows. 110rpm hc's can body shot ohk anything that that's been hit by a high impact bow crit. the free quick draw and ammo returns means you never have to reload your hc the entire match.

the play style is fairly high skill ceiling but drat if it doesn't just look cool as gently caress

Sorry your aim is poo poo. The 450s feel weak, for me at least, compared to 600s. Well, other than the breakneck, but thats its own thing. I would never take them to crucible until they get the buff next week, but gambit was a perfect example for me. doing the breakneck quest, I took many, many ARs from collections to try them to see which is best. And I pretty much had them all. From vanilla to post forsaken. I settled on the 600 suros with rampage from vanilla.

I think for ARs in D2, 600 RPM is the sweet spot.

A 600 can out DPS a 450 assuming all shots are landed, and as crits. But that requires more total bullets be landed, and there are harsher penalties for missing a shot or missing a crit.

Real world DPS definitely favors 450, since they're more forgiving and accomplish the job with few total bullets.

Next weeks AR buff only mentions the 600s and 720s, right? So for crucible youre gonna see more 600s than 450s which are not getting the buff. well if its and actual buff, not any of Bungies .04% bullshit.
