When i stoped playing there were myriads of hunter and warlocks.....now everywere i go i see titans. What happend?

People realized how good Saint-14 was.

 

[MickeyPhree]

I am down to run crota A few times today. Haven't done much this week except iron banner.

I still need to run it twice.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

On second thought, I might go for that Heart of Praxic Fire. I'm rocking Starfire Protocol for my Sunsinging Warlock right now, but I can get my extra fusion grenade from perks and then all I lose is the burning effect on my fusion grenades, which doesn't matter all that much since most everything dies a horrible death when I stick them with fusions anyway.

Plus, Praxic Fire looks rad.

I dunno...what do you think, GAF? Praxic Fire for my Warlock main or Don't Touch me for my Hunter alt? Probably can't raise the coins for both and do IB.

.

 

[EJRobinson90]

Also, whenever anyone is ready to start farming glimmer at GK, I just hit Rank 4 IB and need a lot!!!

Edit: Top of Page! Hawkmoons for everyone!!!

Count me in for some glimmer farming if you're doing it now

I still say Voidfang Vestments are the best PVP exotic for Warlocks, even sungingers. If you have Gift of the Sun and Voidfangs, you spawn every life with two full grenades and the high disc fills them back up quickly after you throw them out (though some people don't think your disc effects your second grenade refill.)

I need to farm also if you guys are doing it.

I've already got Voidfang. I'll take that as a vote for Don't Touch Me, then?

.

On the other hand, I do like being a Sunbro. And that armor is so badass looking...decisions, decisions...

Edit: I have a ton of motes of light. Maybe I'll get the Exotic engram, see what I get and make my choice from there. If I get super duper lucky, maybe I'll get both anyway, lol.

 

[squidhands]

I miss the days of people looking to do weekly strikes. Are people just going with matchmaking or already have groups knocking them out?

I have a Hunter that hasn't gotten through the Eris Quest yet, so I'll be needing a sherpa for the Weekly with her. My other 2 characters can get through with matchmaking, it's certainly nice to have as a backup in case I can't find a group.

 

[XenoRaven]

Xur breakdown from /r/destinythegame's aWrySharK

So, would this make Don't Touch Me not worth it if I don't have an Exotic piece yet? I'm really trying to get to 30+ so I can stop being carried through stuff.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Ugh I want one, but it'll cost me $45 just for P&P lol.

Same here. $47 to ship to Australia. I'd rather give that money directly to the charity instead of USPS.

Have a friend who needs ds plus crota, I can help if there are more players interested.

Light Level > Supplementary stats. If you need an exotic, I would suggest picking them up to hit 30+. If there is a better version off of Xurgrades next week drop a shard to get the rolls.

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Dead Orbit shaders are amazing.

Voidfangs are fantastic, but Claws of Ahamkara are seriously under-rated in my opinion. Double fusions and double scorch with flame shield is just plain OP in PvP and PvE (tank tank tank). I build it with max Discipline so ~8-10 Fusions per Radiance + 2x instakill melees that each give you overshield + second skin in radiance. Combine that with max Armor and max Recovery (since horizontal glide-boost-hopping via focused burst makes up for low agility) and you're just unstoppable. Plus they look damn fine.

Thanks ruthless, I hope we can get a few more people interested. I wouldn't mind doing ds + crota 3 times.

Do you still have the gorgons cp by any chance? I am out running an errand but will be home in like half hour.

Yeah I do.

I assume this means buy it then wait to see if I can upgrade it with an Exotic Shard.

 

[Mass Appeal]

Yeah I do.

Sweet thanks! I will shoot you a message when I get home.


Edit: I also have HM Templar cp if anyone still needs that fatebringer. I wouldn't mind getting a second for myself either

 

[Cruxist]

How is this Jolder's Hammer?

• Field Choke
• Perfect Balance
• Hammer Forged
• Crowd Control
• Take a Knee (not amazing I know)

I can't stand Take a Knee on any of my re-rollable guns. Seriously drives me nuts.

 

[-griffy-]

So has Xur never had an exotic upgrade for Icebreaker or have I just somehow missed it?

 

[Mindlog]

How is your coin situation?
While the stat roll is pretty poor so are Bladedancer grenades. I don't believe Discipline is all that important in the cases where Don't Touch Me is valuable. However, long term Hunter helmets are very useful and if you don't have enough coins to pick one up next week then that would be painful.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I assume this means buy it then wait to see if I can upgrade it with an Exotic Shard.

Yeah, well you could pick it up now for the light level. And if you want a better roll, you can do the exotic shard upgrade if he has it later those supplementary stats seem to matter more in PvP anyway

 

[WipedOut]

Why upgrade now? Just wait till HoW comes out and just ascend it.

 

[duck_sauce]

Is it possible to level only in pvp?

Yes it is.

 

[NakedRescue]

That's a keeper! No telling how many motes it would take to get that combination without take a knee. You'll just be that rage inducing dude, creeping' with his lmg, lol.


Got one to drop this morning and rolled until I got:

range finder,
perfect balance, hammer forged, flared magwell
crowd control

 

[Deku Tree]

Had it week 1. He also sold IB several times since. No reason to rexurbish before HoW though. Just wait.

 

[TheOddOne]

This guy did it.

 

[Rainmaker]

I want that Trials of Osiris loot so bad but I am incredibly awful at Destiny's PvP. It's heartbreaking.

 

[Deku Tree]

You get exp in Crucible with each kill. So if you are good at Crucible and you get enough kills then yes you can level up fast in Crucible. If you have a low single digit number of kills them Crucible is less effective for leveling up.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Roll with me and I guarantee you won't be at the bottom of the list.

 

[Toa TAK]

I feel you.

 

[SteveO1683]

Pretty sure the first week after TDB launched you could upgrade all the must haves but yeah as others have said it's best to wait the 18 days and not deal with the Xurgrade for guns at least.

 

[Forerunner]

I want that Trials of Osiris loot so bad but I am incredibly awful at Destiny's PvP. It's heartbreaking.

No harm in not trying, there are always worse players than you. Plus you get chances at drops.

 

[Lima]

I want that Trials of Osiris loot so bad but I am incredibly awful at Destiny's PvP. It's heartbreaking.

Precisely the reason why you will find many bad players in Trials. They made the armor that desirable that people will play it even if they suck or and not like the PvP much. I know quite a few in my list.

 

[Deku Tree]

We don't know about any PoE armor looks yet right?

 

[Sullichin]

Does Surplus do anything on a LMG in Crucible?

 

[rasengan1337]

Roll with me and I guarantee you won't be at the bottom of the list.

ummm, that's my line. -_-

 

[Flying Toaster]

Hit rank 4. Time for a break. Then level up with my Titan. Best place to glimmer farm?

 

[willow ve]

Do we have any confirmation as to what happens with Exotic Armor when they're ascended to 42 light level? Do their rolled stats get re-rolled? Is that still only an option through purchasing an "upgrade" through Xur?

Would be great if Exotic Armor just had set stats like Exotic Weapons.


(edit for clarity).

Right now I have some exotics with weak stat rolls
Intellect, Discipline, Strength

You can wait for Xur to sell them again (with better rolls) OR for Xur to sell the upgrade (with better rolls). Purchasing either of these obviously resets the experience you had applied to the armor, but it gives you a better roll.

Question is - when ascending Exotic Armor to the new light cap - will that also upgrade the stat rolls?

 

[Deku Tree]

^ 365 is the new weapon attack value only.

 

[duck_sauce]

From Level 2 to Level 4 in one match. Leveling in pvp seems fun too

11 Strange Coins and I haven't done the Weekly or Nightfall yet.

Yeah, well you could pick it up now for the light level. And if you want a better roll, you can do the exotic shard upgrade if he has it later those supplementary stats seem to matter more in PvP anyway

Ok cool. I didn't really know how the Xur upgrade thing worked apart from raising your max defense stat.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

ummm, that's my line. -_-

I've been trying to get good almost every IB since launch, and played a ton on PvP during the beta. You've been playing PvP for a few days, and we fight for last place. One more IB and you'll be pro...me on the other hand

 

[gunawi]

Nope.

My brother-in-law leveled his Hunter only in PvP.

This is what I am going to do with my Hunter. gotta get good.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Well my phD application got rejected, despite the supervisor telling me my application was a strong one in the rejection email.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Things are tough out there, super competitive with funding sources drying up left and right. Too many qualified people fighting for too little money. I'm sure something will work out if you keep with it.

Actually wasn't trolling. Can't agree more - the PS4 DestinyGAF community is top notch. Doubt I would still be playing if it weren't for the people I've met on here.

+1. Good to see you posting again Scarlet!
