is JR a unique archetype? if not, shouldn't all high impact scouts threetap?

JR bodyshots grant increased headshot damage so it's probably something like b, h, h where a normal HI scout would require another b (so b, h, h, b)

I checked the Twitch directory and every streamer is on PC with high FOV so everyone looks faster anyway

this is going based on d1 knowledge but it was always more damage to just go for headshots with JR, iirc, especially given destiny's pretty substantial headshot multiplier

I mined the API for the new Nightfall stuff, if you want to spoil yourself. Full disclosure, I'm guessing which item goes with which strike based on the flavor text, but I think they're all pretty straightforward.

Played a few matches and this is interesting. Comparatively, the pulse of Quickplay is far more akin to Mayhem now, especially if you stay on top of the Power ammo.

I gotta say, even Relentless doing work is impressing me. Pulse and Scout feel good. Fun atm but like D2 upon release, time is needed to see what's left when it boils down in a month or so and everything has been figured out. But all indications now, good stuff!

Darkeat before feels real good.

Firat full match finally. Got 3 supers. Much faster and fun. You cant titan skate.

The QP game modes are good. Gg bungo.

Shame about trials but hopefully they change that

Did the Flashpoint with whatever was on my Titan, settled on Annual Skate and this High Impact NM Pulse, Legal Action II. Pulse hit like a truck, Annual Skate felt super crisp, like D1. Was getting Supers pretty darn fast and that was without using any Masterworks.

The boost to aerial mobility felt kinda minor and I wasn't feeling the speed increase in Fist of Havoc, but I'm also at 2 mobility right now, so. :shrug:

Roman

5 and 6 mobility feel real good, haven't tried anything faster yet.

Dawnblade warlock with Lightweight guns, Transversive steps, 6 mobility and 6 second cooldown Icarus Dash is fun. Fast supers before I switched to any Masterworks.

Tried an Arcstrider with 5 mobility, 3X grenade mods and Shinobu's Vow. Grenades came back super fast, Arcblade feels good now.

Haven't tried Titan yet but I like the update. People complaining online that it doesn't feel different probably didn't switch up their 1 mobility gear yet.

Now we just need stuff to grind for.

With 3 mods strider, dawn and hammer get the quickest grenade cool downs.

For arc strider with an already good neutral game that's a bit of a boon.

Arc strider was already popular with dudes who didn't like the invis crutch for nightstalker. I suspect without the aim assist permanently gone in invis and the improved super it'll sew a lot of use.

You can kill invis guys pretty wasy now, as long as you can spot them.

Being invis no longer shrinks your hitbox to the size of a shrivelled dick

ideally they just have multiple drops, but when you're doing 1x drop per night fall you don't want to lock 2/3rds of classes out of rewards.

speaking of classes, i have 6000ish pvp kills and literally the difference between the highest and lowest classes killed i have is only 5.
