The patch added a permanent elemental notification during the NF, which is definitely helpful but kinda head-scratching as to way it wasn't in the game originally.

Fwiw it sounds like you'd rarely need more than 8 armor but more testing is needed.

the difference between max armor and not max armor for most of d1's life was the difference between being killed by a shoulder charge and not, being killed by a tripmine or not, and a number of hand-cannon breakpoints (going from 3 to 4 for a kill). it was certainly not one auto rifle shot, except maybe at launch or at the end of d1 when it was changed. and that was just going from '1 below max' to 'actually max' armor.

Oh no. You might have to have the same life pool as the other classes instead of leaning into the same lame crutch for 3 years. What ever will you do?

There's another AR with a name like Valakydn or something. Some people seem to really like that, it's a higher ROF though.

Re: Valkadyn: echoing others, it's good, but i switched to uriel's gift for the higher impact/ more damage per shot. It's still a decent rifle though.

Also, any other hunters really want that sweet cape from the eververse lady?
It looks so cool. Saving up dust, but will probably have to wait until next time around.

I'm not sure what you are thinking is an obvious encounter for an additional fight. Perhaps the extra Caluses in the treasure room? Because I'm pretty sure the point of that is just to drive home that you didn't fight the real Calus, in case you hadn't noticed the robotic bits during the fight, or had interpreted it as though Calus was actually a robot.

The fight would be Actual Calus instead of a robot facsimile, since you have now been tested enough to be found worthy.

I suspect they're saving that for a future thing like a Taken King sized expansion next year that'll have the Pyramid ship enemies in it, real Calus might be their herald when they arrive. I reckon multiple Calus robots might be a thing in the challenge mode fight though, obviously not with the full mechanics but them attacking in concert and you having to take them down while doing the mechanics for the initial one. Maybe something like the multiple Ray fight in MGS2.

The multiple robot calus things are because calus has become a god like energy being and has seen some poo poo in his travels and is trying to find things that can survive his challenge and stand with him. He's got a bunch of them to test everyone a bunch

I doubt we'll ever actually fight Calus. He doesn't seem to be hostile towards the Guardians, the Traveler, or humanity in general. Remember that the Red Legion is a splinter group that didn't follow Calus, and Ghaul had personal reasons for artacking the traveler. Calus seems to be just challenging us for fun, and is actively helping us get stronger. Even his planet-eating ship is targeting Nessus, a planet(oid) that we have no reason to give a poo poo about anymore. If he comes into play in a future expansion, I suspect it will be as an uneasy ally.

The actual fight against him will be doors with no control panels for your ghost to hack and shield generators that are actually inside the shields.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Nobody in the Destiny Universe is that smart. Hell, the mighty "wooden door on hinges with a deadbolt" technology stops 100% of guardians.
