The mega pipebomb is awesome. Sucks that you miss out on extra fragments taking it, but tbh only the ones that give melee energy and radiant buffs are great for hunter. The radiant dodge seems not great -- there are probably scenarios who you would want it over gamblers, but it feels really sluggish and it's really easy to have high uptime on radiant using your knives anyway. My day one experience with solar has been so much more fun than void!

I spent the first encounter of the raid tonight dying loving constantly, it turns out I got a little too used to crutching invis and have to relearn how to not play like a total idiot. "Why is everything shooting me?!... oh, right, they can see me now."

It wouldn't have been terribly practical but it could've been cool. Meiteron posted:Three months of void 3.0 appears to have permanently broken my brain now that I'm trying solar 3.0 on hunter because I no longer have my Get Out Of All Trouble button I've lost count of the number of times I've sailed into a group of enemies thinking I can quickly invis out after I finish this champion and instead I just eat poo poo. Or lose my shields and reflexively hit my dodge button, only for me to do a slow lazy buff dodge that gives all the enemies in the room all the time they need to line up their killshots I think Builds will elevate Solar 3.0 pretty fast here. Sunbreaker is hilariously powerful with an eternally-charged melee that heals you, buffs your weapon damage, and puts massive damage AoE fields all over the place! And that's before considering any exotics or mods or Wells Not sure what it'll be like in Grandmaster type content just yet, but I'm optimistic.

Hello, I just reinstalled after not playing for years and started a fresh Titan. When I get through the initial fight into the beginner area where you can see other players I never get a mission objective, even when logging out and logging back in. Am I doomed to haunt the start area killing the tank over and over again? I try to leave but I cant. This is on PS5.

I was worried that the nerf to Sun Warrior would make my splendor build drop off, but with restoration my Lorely Splendor build actually works better than ever. Maybe it’s less good in PvP now but I’m still just tanking through any and all damage the game throws at me.

Can't wait to futz around on my Warlock and see what kind of bullshit I can get up to with Assemblers. Any other recommended Solar exotics for Locks? Sunbracers might be huge with the scorch buffs and extra grenade but I'll have to tinker a bit and see.

I only had one mission left to finish it on hunter but I took a short break, during which they nerfed glaive/invis and I never had it in me to finish the last one. Pretty sure that constant invis made me a much worse destiny player but it sure was fun.

Talking to Banshee made my game crash too, it's definitely that darn telesto. I'm warming up to the solar changes but it feels more like rearranging the furniture than the rework that void got. The missing element is scorch-building incendiary rounds in my opinion, there's no solar equivalent to volatile rounds that made all the new buff/debuffs stand out. It would have been nice to have any interaction with solar weapons beyond the general radiant buff.

Have restarted that Titan mission like thrice and each time I get stuck in the cosmodrome area with the tank/ship and there is no mission continuation. It'll just be me and like 5 others shooting at a ship or a tank over and over with nothing else to do. Apparently there's like a 90% chance that all new players just won't be able to progress past this part lol. I also had made a new Hunter yesterday and Ikora never gave me the Void quest, just the Arc one, and there's no option to pick up the quest to get Void class, so I'm just hardlocked out of it forever I guess!

Once you've got more artifact mods unlocked, especially. Here's what I'm eyeing for a Titan with roaring flames & sunspots. The gist of it is basically "hit somebody with your hammer and activate godmode, burning the world" [fragment] Powered melee attacks against combatants make you and nearby allies radiant. [artifact] While radiant, Solar precision final blows cause combatants to ignite. [artifact] Your ignitions do increased damage in an increased radius. [fragment] Your Solar ignitions spread scorch to affected targets. [fragment] Solar weapon or ability final blows extend the duration of restoration and radiant effects [fragment] Defeating targets with Solar ignitions grants grenade energy This doesn't even consider the solar well mods and exotic weapons & armor that will go along with it. It's going to be an absurdly easy season to conquer GMs, Master Raids, etc

Hmmmm Loreley Splendor (sunspot on demand) quickswaps to Phoenix Cradle (gives allies Sol Invictus) is going to be exploitable in PvP. 10 seconds of double-duration Roaming Super for your teammates? Problematic, especially for golden gun and dawnblade who will be able to create their own super-extending sunspots on each kill

solar's 3.0 utility and defensive effects give it rapid healing, but little protection against being oneshot by +50% elemental burn damage in GMs, unlike void overshield and void invis. like a sunspot and radiant wouldn't have saved you if you were caught out by alak-hul. the whole scorch/ignite loop also doesn't seem fantastic against anything other than tightly packed trash mobs, and even in that case it doesn't seem competitive with a voidlock spamming charged vortex grenades. it's going to be an easy season for gilding the conqueror seal just because 5 of the 6 nightfalls are easy, but i'm pretty sure people are going to continue doing them on void and stasis classes (and also thundercrash).

The Incandescent perk applies AOE scorch when you kill something which feeds into the Solar ability loop. It's just not available on every single Solar gun like Volatile Rounds.

I think that's why they totally reworked Resilience this season. Solar is an offensive spec with secondary effect of Healing, compared to Void's defensive spec with secondary effect of weakening. Invisibility will be useful for people who continue to run low res (effectively "playing in the old sandbox"), while solar & healing will be viable when you're effortlessly shrugging off snipes at 100res and triple-damage-resist mods  Hunters will continue to be Nightstalkers forever though lol

just off the top of my head, there seem to be three obvious solar 3.0 builds: - heart of innmost light titan, since you can hammer throw to empower grenade and barrier, cast those to get empowered melee x2, and use a consecration slide for champion-exploding, peregrine shoulder charge level damage with almost no cooldown, while making GBS threads sunspots everywhere. how to survive doing this in a GM is an exercise for the reader. - a-10 sunbracer warlock, since you can loop heat rises -> finger snap kill -> solar grenades x4 with literally no cooldown. this is super powerful and lets you cover an entire room with like a dozen solar grenades, but how to survive floating in the air in range of every angry scorn crossbowman in the instance in a GM is an exercise for the reader. - knife throwing hunter, since you can basically spam those forever as long as you're getting some precision hits and use gambler's dodge, and you can hang so many effects onto powered solar melees (melee wellmaker, impact induction, self-healing, party radiance, etc). bonus: you can use this with assassin's cowl to actually, like, not explode instantly. justifying why you're doing this instead of playing nightstalker is an exercise for the reader.
