For titan armor, is this always true?

helmet - targeting
arms - scavenger
chest - unflinching
legs - dexterity
mark - scavenger

I'm mainly trying to see if I can get targeting on any other armor piece

Helm is targeting or bonus super (ashes to assets, heavy lifting etc) and special/heavy reserves or ammo finder;

Arms are reloading or ability cooldowns or fastball and special/heavy scavenger or ammo finder;

Chest is unflinching and primary reserves or ammo finder;

Boots are dexterity or ability cooldown or traction (always pick traction) and primary scavenger or ammo finder

Mark is orb perk and ANY scavenger/reserves/ammo finder

Yep thanks, just wondering about that specific column on each. I definitely run traction.

There are some fairly rare mark perks. I was lucky to get one with Absolution, which I’d never heard of before.

I think the targeting helps a lot in crucible, but things that increase your super are better in PVE.

Has somebody that have not played the game much the past months, It strike me how much the game have changed from release.

Guardians now are amazing powermachines, part of it is having access to cool weapons, cool supers + exotics with gimmick that make these supers better. A wealth of super energy and class. Grenades are still so-so.

Another thing is the diversity of activities. Theres so many activities now, sometimes is hard to choose what to do.

I wonder what will happen if they drop in the game a DLC with the size of Taken King, if they really do that, is going to be pretty crazy.

And what about Destiny 3?, the thing with Destiny 3 is that could not compare with the game we have now. Destiny 3 when it finnaly see the light, will have a small fraction of what the game have now.

Forsaken was bigger than TTK, I think. Shadowkeep is looking like it might be bigger as well? Twice the size of the moon in D1 means it will definitely be bigger than the dreadnought. If D3 is started from scratch again like the rumors suggest (it's not just the tower blowing up again, but Earth is completely lost as well according to one leak, and humanity allies with the Fallen and Cabal) then it's going to be yet another monumental drop in content that will take years to recover from. The recent Shadowkeep reveal had them talking like they don't want to start over however because they know how dumb it is and how WoW was all the better for continually building on the same game rather than pumping out sequels and starting from scratch, so who knows if they're gonna keep building upon this or wipe the slate clean yet again.

If you look at content spreads however, who knows? In D1 expansions they always included new crucible maps and strikes along with the story/gear/location but in D2 new crucible maps and strikes have been a rarity in favor of yet another variation on horde mode. I'd really like to see a renewed focus on crucible maps and strikes, Shadowkeep doesn't need a horde-wannabe mode because none of them are as good as the real thing anyways but the crucible/strike pillars of the game have been ignored for far too long and need a huge content boost.

Looks like Mithrax kills or otherwise overtakes Variks, if that's the case. I'm into it.

Iirc Mithrax is all about being like, "Sorry we suck! Guardians and humanity, just let some of us chill Fallen peeps live in our trash towns, please, and we will serve your interests and fight beside you so good, papi" whereas Variks is on some "Eliksni need to take care of Eliksni and gently caress everyone else up their stupid buttholes" kick.

The pro elite bullshit these days is either pump action or light reactor on your helmet combined with a full suite of scavenger perks for whichever you run and super mods in every slot.

Then you just whore your god roll erentil or mind benders or dust rock. They'll get a super in about half the time someone with no mods and helmet perk will even if they're not killing as efficiently. Its stupid strong.

Yeah I agree they need more strikes and crucible maps. I think we'll see "remasters" of more d1 maps come back which isn't a bad thing. I really wouldn't be surprised if we saw some remixed d1 strikes with a hive influence as part of the nightmare thing. For PvP asylum, Delphi, twilight gap, cauldron would all be quite nice to see make a return imo. They always played well.

I think part of the issue has been there's been so much other poo poo that just needed to be fixed and or brought in that they've really just kind of neglected strikes and PvP. The "dungeon" type content like whisper and outbreak etc have been really good and I like that sort of thing. Menagerie is well done, escalation protocol was cool, blind well was good too.


The good news is at least they realise PvP needs some tweaking and have plans to do so but by their own admission they don't want to just slap it together. I just hope they don't mess with match making in quickplay because at the moment at least it's not that terrible and they always seem to make it worse.

I expect some class tweaks and a weapon balance patch to be announced when they talk up the next expansion. For a long time they didn't seem to give a poo poo about PvP unless it was making it more and more vanilla and flat and I'm hoping they're looking to avoid that.

while novawarp isn't as good as it once was, it's also better than it once was, so that's good. handheld supernova is great as well. contraverse hold or astrocyte verse are good exotics to pair
nova bomb's alright as a shutdown super I guess.

top tree sun singer for icarus dash, if you want neutral game mobility and are good/have good weapons for air borne kills
bottom tree sunsinger for super duper supers. someone who is even decent at this super is a stupid nightmare that flies around the map at mach speed, raining hellfire like an ac-130

I like any and all of the arc trees, they all have their strengths and uses. crown of tempests or the arc buddy exotic.

ophidian aspects or transversive steps are good neutral exotics


probably use healing rift, unless you want to do some shenanigans with empowering, but you gotta know when/where to do a good empowering rift, much trickier than just "I am hurt, I go behind wall and rift"

I don't think any class/tree is stupid OP right now and will swap between all of these, but they're mostly all pretty good.

I like top tree striker for dual nades and shoulder charge for movement. The super is pretty trash.

Otherwise top tree hammers. Everything else sucks.
