Destiny |OT6| I Want That Purple Stuff

It doesn't have the best stats in the game, but it makes up for it with the piercing rounds that makes the target bleed. Most handcannons require you to hit the target with 4 shots in the chest in PvP, but the Thorn only require 3 shots since the piercing rounds takes care of that small amount of health that is left on the player. They are down within two seconds after your third shot hits. This saves you those extra two shots in PvP, and 6 bullets magically become 8. Combined with a very high fire rate and stability (with upgrade) targets are very easy to bring down.

I imagine they will buff the ammo count to at least 8 and also increase the reload speed, which makes Thorn very viable for both PvE and PvP. It is probably the most underestimated weapon in the game atm.

Seems like most of the exotics are a bit weak out of the gate.

To me they seem more like cool rare skins than really much better weapons than normal legendaries.

Maybe some day when I fully upgrade one it will be amazing.
 
How are we so close to OT6 already, jaysus


Got that god damn Invective shotgun now. I can't wait to get the stability upgrade. It's a bit hard to handle now. It's also an ammo hog but soon it will just recharge itself...

It's good but it honestly doesn't seem overpowered in Crucible. The range isn't good and it has a crazy kick. But we'll see how it is after the upgrades
 
Hunter is pretty much my next class.

OP super in PvP
Cloaks
Stealth
Hand cannons
Best helmets?


I did have a few nice armor pieces saved up but I melted them down in a fit one night to lvl my current gear.
True but it is hard for them to be useful in a hard mode raid.
 
Just maxed out my Warlock (skills wise) and got max pvp marks for the first time now I think I'm done with the game at least until the DLC as not interested in grinding out the reputations etc. Maybe a future patch will make me want to go back before the DLC but doubt it.
 
I shut down a Sunsinger in the Crucible today. After I killed him with my Thorn, I moved on and shot at some of his teammates. Then I noticed movement behind me on my radar. I turned around and saw that the Warlock had resurrected. I activated Bladedancer and sent him back to his grave for the second time. Praise the sun? Nope, Ride the Lightning!
 
If you guys could mix subclasses within the same class, what abilities would you choose?

Mines would be a Hunter with Golden Gun, cloaking, higher double jump.

You bascially covered the New Testament.
 
I really don't see how. The only time I kill them is when they are dumb and pop it out in the open and are extremely far away from me. They jump all over the place and are so fast that even then it's fucking impossible to kill them. Oh and that fucking shield. Jesus.

Today I killed one cus he was going in a straight line. It took more than half of my machine gun ammo.

>Survive Bladedancers.

Used by anyone with an IQ greater than 50, you're almost guaranteed to die outside of sheer luck. Unless you happen to have a multi-rocket tube ready to go and a good lead time on the target, you won't kill him, and even in that situation, there's a good chance you die anyway (most likely by suicide, as by the time you fire your second rocket he's probably right next to you).
Don't fight them. Run.

The only time I even think about killing them is if their health is already really low. Otherwise: run, evade, change elevation, change direction, hide behind corners, etc.
 
I never do more than 1 or 2 at a time and I have gotten 2. Its pure random like 99% of the game.
Figures. Have you ever gotten a "Bounty Lead" from the postmaster? I got one yesterday right after I received the Final Boss sniper rifle, never even heard of getting an invitation for new bounties before.

Changing elevations hasn't done much for me. They just kill me in the air.

Running doesn't do much either, they just teleport and kill me.
 
eep, this is probably going to be a huge disappointment to you but the numerical stat values on armor and weapons are basically uninteresting to me in this game :-X. The idea of min-maxing DPS in favor of taking my favorite loadout is not something I really see happening. All I really care about is how a weapon feels to use and how many shots it takes to kill (how many hand cannon head/body shots put a shielded player past 0), rather than the actual number value of the damage being dealt.

Probably not a popular opinion but I'd actually prefer the little RPG-style damage number floaters weren't a part of the game. :P

So Arc Blade isn't OP because if you're really lucky you MIGHT be able to run away long enough to escape with your life?

Okay.

>A gunslinger bullet is not a free kill.
> Putting angled brackets next to a sentence.

What does it mean.

Okay.
I survive the majority of the time. I estimate 60% of the time or more. I find Nova Bomb and the Titan smash way more frustrating, personally. I usually hear when Bladedancer and Goldegun are activated and I hide. It's pretty simple to me.

Weird. Every time i've come across someone in bladedancer after i've just resurrected it's an easy double melee or melee and quick few rounds to take them out. Is this not normal? I didn't think someone in bladedancer had that much armor. Seemed like they're very easy to take out at range or up close with shields on.

No hate... honestly asking as someone who's never played hunter.

When I play with friends Bladedancers are the only freakin' class we have to call out on voice chat when spotted. And usually it goes like this:

"Oh crap guys! Hunter XX just fired up Bladedancer! Ahhhh! I'm dead!"

That's okay though I don't think I want them nerfed. Planning to roll one as my alt shortly :)

I max out my marks like 1st half of the week. I think if I have two characters I can gather all my crucible marks that way efficiently

* Hawkian was added to your ignore list.

Haha nah, it's all good man. You aren't even the slight bit curious on how your Hawkmoon fares against a Thorn... for science?
 
I got 14 rare engrams waiting to be decoded for tomorrow's patch, and a Crypatch level up reward in my mail box.

You probably need to decode them before Tuesday... From the Bungie Patch notes:

Item Changes
Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already...
