PISS TAPE IS REAL

Between last week's trails and iron banner, I took the suros catalyst from 0 to complete. Turns out, pretty good gun! I have absolutely no idea how to use the "speed up as you hold fire" perk, the other one feels so much better, even after the recoil boost from the catalyst. Not that I've spent much time with it since, because my broken rear end brain says "you cant level this up any more, don't bother using it!" and instead I've been trying to figure out how to use the multitool, with absolutely no luck. Fwiw, Jade rabbit just felt right to me, but I don't really get the ranges or spots to be in to do well with Mida at all.

Also, despite really just having it equipped to passively level it while grinding out suros, that crafted seasonal fusion is pretty good in crucible once you get some range on it (and of course, the best-choice-on-basically-every-fusion-rifle Arrowhead Break). I put threat detector and successful warm up on it since Ive been pretty much only doing pvp, fully intending to eventually swap it to reservoir burst and envious assassin for pve bullshit, but it's been working so well I might just leave it as is. Really absurd you can't put multiple perks on a crafted gun, or even get a discount for perks a gun has had before.

You've already put in more thought than bungie did for crafting, careful so you don't overdeliver on thoughts! I think we should be able to put adept mods on crafted weapons as well. I'm waiting to see if the new crafting poo poo that they talked about actually drops this season and if so how bad it is.

Was Heart of Inmost Light crazy busted before? It feels pretty good now, I just got it from a random drop.

Trying a Void Titan build with Wavesplitter. Feels a bit like the old Warlock Agee’s build, but not as snappy. I spend a lot of time waiting for a shield throw to coke back. Instant overshields on Barrier is sweet though.

Yes. It was absolutely insane, with the right build you could have close to 100% uptime on insanely powerful grenades.

Yeah it was absolutely incredible. Consecration Slam + Healing grenade with the right set of mods would make you functionally invincible for most content. Severance Enclosure has been my personal pick for a replacement but I think I've seen some builds leveraging a different exotic for a very similar effect but with grenade kills providing most of the buffing and healing

It was literally the most powerful exotic in the game, bar none. Arc 3.0 made it even stupider with homing Storm Grenades.

It was nerfed a little. I would guess because a strand titan has three melee’s which would instantly give you a 2x grenade and barrier which would last 8 seconds instead of the current 5.

Uh-oh, yea sounds like you’re missing the pro gamer tooltips. Also includes advice such as ‘run straight past a lone team mate on an enemy point to attempt to interrupt the enemies part-completed capture of your last remaining point, over 100 meters away’. And ‘A purple countdown? What’s that? Ignore it and push forwards alone into the enemy spawn.’

Do you have the 30th Annerversy Bundle? Sadly Grasp of Avarice is tied to that, so it's basically a standalone purchase.

Dungeons are some really great content if you can find some people to run with. You owe it to yourself to check them out, particularly if you happen to own anyone of the ones you gotta pay for (like Duality and Spire from the WQ Deluxe. I think Shattered Throne is tied to the Forsaken bundle, Pit of Heresy tied to Shadow Keep, and then Prophecy is the only outright free one.)

and then there's one coming next season as part of Lightfall Deluxe. I'm very excited for it! If the rumors of a returning Titan are true, I'm gonna put my bets on something deep in the archology or maybe even something very "underwater" feeling.

I own all content so I really need to apply to the clan and run raids and dungeons. As I previously stated, raids are my favorite thing ever ever ever.

You should love dungeons then, they're midway between raids and strikes/battlegrounds. They have encounter mechanics but simpler ones designed for three people (or one person with a lot of skill and patience) and almost none of the "you missed it by half a second, so a nuke goes off and you have to start over" wipes you get in raids

Just want to share something I've noticed lately. Ive been playing a lot of vanguard ops playlist and I've seen more than half of the upper ranked players completely skip out on giving commendations to lower ranked players.

Say what you will about the commendation system but it's still something we all need to grind through

There are idiots who will take you through dungeons whether you’re in any clan or not, just hop on discord. Or don’t, you can post your bungie ID here and I will friend you and teach you dungeons (or just blast you through if you want to get completions/exotics).

Raids are the best thing in the game but dungeons are a close second and let me walk away from my keyboard whenever when I’m solo, something I can’t do in a raid.

I asked how to get Wish Ender last week and within minutes two absolutely wonderful goons dragged me through the dungeon twice so I could get it and we all had a great laugh every time I fell into every obvious newbie trap. 10/10.

Commendations are insanely stupid. There isn't enough time (even though they recently increased the allowed time) to give them out meaningfully, you only give two per thing so you can have a crucible match that you get none in, and despite meaning something, they're meaningless. I literally give each person in a strike a commendation that isn't applicable to them and picking the top player in crucible or gambit to give a commendation to each time seems like it fucks over other people.


It is a through-and-through bad system and I hate it.

I try to rotate through giving my commendations to players based on their relative position to me after pvp because its ultimately meaningless; in strikes I always give 2 out

of course sometimes it bugs out and when I run several in a row I have "already given that commendation" at the end of the run, sorry folks
