This is why I DONT think it’s getting nerfed, we won’t have Classy Restoration next season so eventually you’ll have to build into healing & sustain or you’ll risk getting swarmed in harder content

I think the loss of classy restoration will only make 100 resilience more desirable, not less.

I’ve already seen builds pop up that specifically skip classy restoration and yeah 100 res is still just as good you just heal other ways.

I expect Arc will have mobility, chain lightning and blind for crowd control, so you'll be able to pick from disabling/freezing/weakening enemies and healing, shielding, or gaining resistance for yourself depending on your spec, and a fireteam can have most or all of them - which is cool honestly 10 res just feels like an experiment this season, with the nerf to the resist mods, they only shuffled resist levels around I suspect they did it to get a good read on where to tune content with players running around having constant healing, resistance, and overshields Another possibility is moving it from mods to stats because a lot of casual players don't touch mods at all, but then again, casual players also don't max stats or do content where you *need* max res + multiple layers of defenses

The problem is their whole damage/difficulty model, all the way back to Halo, is making you the chump red bar that dies in a couple hits. People didn't run Protective Light and resist mods because they were lazy they ran them because it was the best way to not constantly get one shot.

If almost every enemy wasn't wallhacking autoaim bots and we could actually dodge more attacks it wouldn't be a problem. But because the AI is so basic they can do nothing but stat pad everything.

Digital Jedi posted:I have an exotic cypher to spend and I had no clue about this Monument of Lost Lights. Witherhoard should be the #1 pick every time. There are very few situations where it's an objectively bad pick for a weapon. It can compliment and fit into nearly any build. It's objectively one of the best weapons in the game. Edit: Are there better choices situationally? Yeah. Absolutely. Like Ace of Spades or Last Word are probably better PVP picks. It's just Witherhoard does everything. It does PVP, it does PVE, It does endgame, it does casual. It does add clear, and it does boss damage. It just is a great all-purpose weapon.

It's one of the most versatile guns in the game and the catalyst gives it max handling and auto-load holster. If not? Depends on what you have already.

I got a Vanguard bounty to get kills from incinerate which made me realize just how rare I was getting those. On a solar warlock are the only sources of Scorch your super, grenade, and melee? I'm finding that most enemies die from those attacks way before an incinerate would proc even with the fragments that increase scorch stacks. My understanding is that attacks that scorch add up until a big damage incinerate procs kinda like how shooting a stasis auto rifle will proc a freeze. Is there something else I could do to actually get an incinerate? I ask because several fragments activate based on incinerate and the only time I'm getting them is from using the fragment that makes my super attacks incinerate enemies. I might drop all of the incinerate fragments otherwise because incinerate spreading scorch isn't helpful if incinerate almost never happens.

I think the incandescent gun perk helps to activate incinerate when enemies are grouped up for multiple activations.

drat Vyk's got his own .com - but yeah his list is a good guide to start with if you have no idea what you want first  Witherhoard is a very solid general pick with a unique effect.

It shouldn't be too much of a slog once you get some season levels in. Tarrabah an S and Witherhoard not is laughable

Unless you’re a hardcore PvP enthusiast I would take Jotunn or Prometheus Lens over pretty much everything there listed at S Rank because those guns have extra powerful stuff going with this seasons perks, but yeah if you don’t own Witherhoard and Arbalest yet then those are absolutely your priority #1 targets

It’s good but what activity are you bringing Tarrabah to over Witherhoard? Add clear? GMs? The Raid? Gambit? I mean literally anywhere, even the crucible, Witherhoard is gonna clean out rooms and kill guardians faster and easier. Tarrabah makes sense in, like, Trials and 6v6 stack games modes and Witherhoard would just be better for literally any other activity in the game.

Tarrabah is good for specific builds in specific content when SMG champ mods are around. Witherhoard is good for everyone all the time in all activities, at all levels, in PvP and PvE. If nothing else, grab Witherhoard, Eriana’s and Symmetry first (in that order) so you can progress their long rear end catalyst quests. Eriana’s and Symmetry’s are both to just do six billion (ok, 400) playlist activities so those at least progress passively while you Play Destiny 2.

I despise the Witherhoard in PvP. For some reason when I'm damaged by it I don't recognize it until I'm dead. In Iron Banner you could always count on some fucker shooting it in a place I'd end up retreating to and dying from it.

If I have any one complaint about Destiny it’s that I honestly cannot loving tell what it killing me at all anymore, hit registration and damage indicators really need either another pass or for a bunch of accessibility features added so I can set my computer to scream “YOURE STANDING IN DEATH” when I’m in PvP.

The game has always had an over-reliance on status effects in the text area, it's been like that since the first days of D1. VoG had several events that were only described by a single line of text. It needed an overhaul forever, emergency effects like a debuff you need to clear need to have a clear indicator on the hud. Audio cues help but if people are blabbing instructions over chat they can be easy to miss, and with all the splash damage and movement and flinching it takes real attention to remember to check up on your buff box. It's even worse now that we can have so many buffs active that not all statuses get displayed on screen. I don't know what the fix is but the upside is I'm not a game developer, the geniuses over at Bungie need to think up a way to make it better (without having to take my eyes off my gun sights).

Witherhoard’s presentation is unusually bad at communicating “you are in a damage over time field, please move.” the damage ticks are extremely far apart which doesn’t communicate that something is doing damage over time, it’s not associated with a clear audio tell, and doesn’t have a good screen overlay effect. compare this to vex milk where you immediately get fast damage ticks, distinctive audio, and electricity effects on your screen. somewhat related gripe: the red coloring that’s supposed to differentiate friendly vs enemy damage zones like DOT grenades is far too indistinct.

Encounter mechanics, especially wipe timers, should always take priority over gear. Debuffs should take priority over buffs. Stuff that may persist for a very long time without doing anything, like charged with light or ambitious assassin, should be lowest priority (why is there even a hud callout for ambitious assassin) Gay Rat Wedding posted:somewhat related gripe: the red coloring that’s supposed to differentiate friendly vs enemy damage zones like DOT grenades is far too indistinct. Witherhoard fades from normal to red and back, and does it fairly slowly, so it's a roll of the dice whether you can tell instantly if a pool is safe. Which is still better than a lot of things that don't have any IFF indication at all, like grenade ability AOEs

The week that Witherhoard was first unleashed onto the world was a wild one, every single PvP game was a match of the Floor is Lava and because every single person was using it there was no escape.
