Anyone still using Liar’s Handshake over Assassin’s Cowl?

both are great, Assassin's cowl's invisibility gives you time to breathe if you need it, while with LH you just gotta roll with the punches :rimshot:

I think Liars is better bc more damage but I'm not consistent enough at staying in the ability loop to use it in anything difficult. Keeping everything rolling during combat is alot.

Assassins is much safer. Higher floor.

it does not. The whole stacking buff thing they implemented was specifically to nerf this interaction.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
tbh the change they made where dodge->punch now applies jolted, causing a big explosion that kills the target... without counting as a melee kill to refresh dodge or stack up the buff,

uhhh well that change sucks and makes the playstyle loop very unwieldy!

ARMOR
Exotic armor focused at Rahool now has similar stats to dropped Exotic armor.
Fixed an issue where the Exotic Warlock helm Cenotaph Mask didn´t have the correct description.
WEAPONS
The two second window where a weapon cannot be fired after swapping to it from the inventory screen was reduced to ~1 second.
Reduced the size and intensity of the muzzle flash on the Perpetualis Auto Rifle.
Fixed an issue where Dark Decider did not have firing audio.
Trials Glaive Unexpected Resurgence:
Moved Impulse Amplifier from the right trait column to the left.
Added Swashbuckler and Voltshot to the right trait column.

You have to do a little prefire to make sure your melee gets the kill to get Combination Blow rolling. Once you're at x3, Combination Blow and Lethal Current play extremely well together.

But yeah starting the combo is a bit annoying.

The only way to get an UR was from hitting rank 16 in trials the first weekend of trials, last week. Light GG says there are fewer than 1,000 of the gun, and 9% had Impulse Amplifier

Considering how few items this affects, my guess would be they left it as is!

In the past, they did not modify any guns that already dropped. Guns that can no longer roll the way people have them are around, and I've heard people call these illegal rolls. They exist, are out there, but there are extremely few of them (iirc, the Dawning SMG used to be able to roll with double dragonfly, which I think is the most common illegal roll).

It's cool if you have one. I have (or had, I may have deleted it accidentally when i was vault cleaning) an illegally rolled Commemoration from very early in DSC's lifecycle.

Typically the rightmost column is the most powerful perks. Impulse Amplifier is a good perk but definitely belongs in the left column which is where average strength & general utility perks tend to go.

There are many exceptions to this rule but "(perk) isn't good enough to be in the last column" is a common sentiment

Hit it until it's not a problem anymore
Imp Amp was the only non-damage perk in the 4th column, I assume they wanted to avoid letting people get double damage perks.

Star Eater Scales. I've always found Liar's Handshake has a rhythm I don't like with the having to punch twice to actually use the perk and I like making my lightning boomstick bigger and boomier.

(bursts through the wall wearing a cool-aid jug costume) OH YEAH.

I'm using Mechaneer's Tricksleeves now. Not because I want to, there just aren't that many good exotics now in my humble opinion and the extremely fast reload that results goes well with a voltshot brigand's law. That's about the only reason to use it.

Nothing gets buffed very much, lots of stuff gets nerfed heavily. People are just trying to make do with the best of what's left.

If was boss focused then yeah, star eater scales. Otherwise there just isn't much to be excited about in the exotic armor space.

I dunno, I play around with so many exotics because they offer a lot of fun and different gameplay options. Like, a bunch are trash and need to be just redone, not buffed in my opinion, but there's a lot of fun ones.

Some of my recent favourites:
- Radiant Dance Machines (I won't shut up about them!)
- Mask of Bakris (When discovered they buffed Arc *and* Stasis)
- Graviton Forfeit
- Gyrfalcon's Hauberk
- Liar's Handshake
- Cyrtarachne's Facade
- Omnioculus
- Frostees
- Bombardiers (Not great, but fun, and soooo close to being amazing)
- Aeon Swift (I'm a nice person who likes helping out)

Those are just, like, some of the exotics I have builds around that I find fun as hell, all in different ways. A lot are not efficient, or high-end content builds, but they're all very fun.

I tried to make a Bombadiers scorch loadout last season with the idea of "everything I do, from grenade to melee to weapon to class ability can cause an ignition", but unfortunately it turns out versatility is overrated in a season where you can just use Incandescent and super-duper Firebolts and everything will explode anyway.

Interesting, looks like you can pre-complete the daily iron banner challenges now!

I played 7 games on Tuesday when only the 'play 3 games' challenge was available. Logged on just now, got an IB Drop in orbit, and I have the 'Play 7 games' challenge completed :toot:

That's nice that extra games aren't "wasted" in that regard!

They've snuck in quite a few subtle changes. In addition to being able to spin guns and ships, which was announced, item lore tabs are now toggle rather than hold, which wasn't. You can get to the director during the match ending sequence again. And they finally fixed spawns on Dead Cliffs

Hm, well those API entries about Scourge of the Past sure make it seem like that's going to be in game next season.

With four weapons and an exotic that we already have, they're going to have to add two new legendary weapons and a new exotic to the pool!

No-brainer opportunity to bring back two other Black Armory guns (blast furnace & ringing nail, please!) and then I'm sure they'll reprise a D1 exotic. Dreg's Promise fits the theme but is pretty darn similar to Trespasser

Just jumped into this again

My last equipped weapon is Bad Juju, so it might tell you how long it's been (sometime during the pandemic, as I didn't really feel like playing, around 2021)

Anyway... How do you change your display name in Destiny 2? I've been changing it on Steam and Destiny kept my last used name, and doesn't change

My D2 experience in 2023:
I jumped in, shows me a cutscene about the Witness or something attacking the other big ball, then some rad surfer cyborgs show up, then I logged out, then I logged in and I'm now in deep oceans, I didn't finish that first ocean quest, logged out, forgot I didn't play Witch Queen, bought that, so now I'm hanging with Mara Sov? And her brother, who I think killed Cayde? Who is going to come back as a zombie or something?

This is some telenovela level poo poo now, but believe it or not I enjoy finding out the story snippets, just wish it was clearer where I'm supposed to go, it's a mess lol. What do I even do at the War Table. How do I get my Artifact, I bought the Season Pass and the latest 2 campaigns

You can change it through the web site. When they enabled full cross play they also assumed ownership of everyone's name, so that will apply to all platforms you play on and everyone you play with on all their platforms

It's a longstanding issue that seasonal and expansion intros are all mandatory and you will be forced into them one at a time on login until they run out. The surfer dudes are part of the Lightfall story, which advances on the Neptune destination. The ocean thing is the most recent season, which is advanced in the left wing of the HELM. The Mara Sov story is part of season 20 and is advanced at the War Table at the top of the HELM.

The War Table is for the season 20 content, you should be able to buy an item from it that will make your experience more or less what season 20 was when it was live. The artifact you get from advancing the season 21 quest (ocean stuff) which you can freely intermix with season 20 and Lightfall activities, they all advance independently

naw, someone was pointing out that it's far from the first time Scourge got touched in the API since it was sunset. I wouldn't really take it as definitive proof one way or the other.

that said, it wouldn't be the worst option.

Probably. Several of Telesto's bugs were down to the individual bolts being coded as discret objects and how that cause them to interact with the environment.
