But what I am asking is if any good things are dropping. The light level is kinda irrelevant - there are lots of boring 335 weapons and armour sets around. I was more curious about whether any desirable items are dropping.

That sexy 5 5 1 build. I like it.
I'm trying to make my Sunsinger 3-4-4 but I'm short 8 str @ 332 light. Close

Every trials weapon is exactly the same as it was before, except nerfed/buffed from whatever April 12 weapon changes like the Doctrine.
Just the emblem is new and trials gear from flawless (gold and aqua) which has same perks as typical trials gear

Ah, cool. That's what I was curious about, no new hotness then.
Honestly just wanted to know if I was missing anything, and it doesn't sound like I am. Its too hard for someone like me now.

The strike specific drops (like the new helmet or Taken shotgun) can drop up to 335, but like everything else it depends on your own LL. Otherwise I think it's mainly limited to Vanguard rank up packages which can drop up to 330. Also exotic engrams from 3oC I guess.
edit: also, you're not missing anything with the Winters Run strike. You just have to get lucky with it popping up in the Heroic playlist, which seems to be pretty rare. Chances are good it'll be the NFall soon.

335 Hawksaw? 335 Cloak of Taniks? No exotic class item? Nah....

Wow really? Now that's super insane. I'd TOTALLY do a 4-4-4 build for warlocks haha

Crazy. Highest is 332 and the rest are 330.
On Xbox my highest is now 320 haha. Might sneak a golgy run in there tomorrow.
Highest on both systems was 318 prior to the update.

Do this: create a powerful left side sets pieces that you'll pass to all characters
What I mean choose your best primary, special, heavy and 1 ghost
Now you will infuse these as quickly as infusion fodder comes
You want to push your LL as much as possible, left side does this
I have a 332 Hung Jury, 335 Black Spindle, 333 Terminus, 335 Ghost
That set gets transferred to each character when I play them or do activities
So my 327 Warlock jumps to 331
Titan from 329 to 332 (like 5% away from 333)
Hunter from 327 to 331
Gear on the right side is too much RNG and it to drop and help push you at one time
You have to cheat the system
What I mean is my Hunter out of the gate reached 330 quick, how?
I edged factions and got package rewards boosting me up
Then pushed ammo/materials stockpiles and got more rank packages
Every time I got any weapon (infusion, unless god roll) it went into my set pieces
Then I did hella bounties/patrol for more packages
Within the first day without raiding or CoE or any activity that nets huge gain, I jumped up quite a few levels
If you read all that
Pick 1 legendary and 1 exotic for each weapon class
For me:
Primary - Hung Jury & Touch of Malice/Mida (got a 332 Mida, 325 ToM, waiting for extra infusion for ToM, but Mida and ToM swappable)
Secondary - Defiance of Yasmin + Black Spindle
Heavy - Harrowed Qullim's Terminus + Truth
Ghost - Int/Dis
This gets shuffled and each char jumps LL right off the bat
Now I do activities that net me guaranteed LL+ gear and keep pushing forward
If you prepared just a little in advance and circumvent the system a slight over you gain LL quick
I figured not to do CoO until at least your 330+ just so you don't get fucked by Rune and earn not at least a 335 artifact
Remember +6 to your LL is the max
Also Raid helps you a fuck ton with loot
Sometimes the system throws you NM loot higher that HM or CM LL loot
If your char doesn't need it, bet your other char most likely will
My Left side set helps boosts my LL to get better LL overall loot for all 3 chars then I feed leftovers to my other chars
Right side of your char you should be invested in only 1 set of gear and nothing more
No reason to 335 out and try to earn more 335 gear on just 1 char and make them fully complete
My Hunter fed my Titan who fed my Warlock who fed Titan who fed Hunter who in the end fed my Warlock which then fed both Hunter and Titan
So as you see I may not be 335 right now like but all 3 are at least 331+ each
Meaning reset Tuesday will push me closer to 335
Once there, all 334-335 loot will be infusion bonanza for all weapons and gear that will get pushed up
NF and Faction packages are 330 locked, so most will get infused into exotics that are lesser used
Have a set game plan on which things you want to max out first
Don't try to max out one char, sometimes lady luck might not be in your favor
Why just roll the dice once, when you can 3 times

I hope next week we get bonus points for melee kills in CoE. I also hope one of the modifiers is lightswitch
Theres bonus points for melee now. Thats how I kill shanks
Damn, nice. I've been trying, but still missing ~20 points to 2/5/5 on my hunter.

You will get artifacts only if you use your own rune.
I used up 20+ antiquated runes a few hours ago, had way too many of them occupying my inventory..
I have runes I just don't like CoO solo

I only see an extra 48 stat points in that picture. What's the real story here DJ?
Do you have a pic of this mythical 5/5/2 build? Honestly I'd be super curious. My NStalker build is 334 and just hit 1/5/5 with a little left over, definitely not enough LL left to get another full tier.
Wow ranking up has never ever been rewarding since today. My first ever FWC ship at rank 10. Shaders dropping left and right. So good.
I'll join for a few
Sorry man just solo'd it. Got 6x 335 Artifacts. If you need help I'll join you tho

Some pieces just roll super high.
I've got 2 335 Artifacts on my Hunter right now: one has 122 points (79 Int 43 Dis) while the other has 105 points (73 Dis 32 Str).
Some super aggressive min maxing and lucky as hell rolls at 335 might just be enough for 5-5-2? I've never seen one though. I mean I can see somebody maaaaybe have 720 points if they're lucky (but it's a stretch). Having them perfectly allocated though? I dunno. It's just much more likely to have a lot of surplus in one stat and then be missing some on the other.
It'd probably come down to having a piece roll single-stat with a good enough roll for the Tier 2 on its own (like a 120 Int Artifact), and then reaching the 5-5 with the other pieces.

Updated as of 320 LL but it seems to scale linearly.

Artifact, ghost and class item - I have 1 each with higher base stats than the ones I have on right now. Will show when I'm back online..

Have you played much Trials before? How many passage coins do you have? What time zone are you?
I can try to help, either Monday night or sometime next week depending on schedules. Just bear in mind that Trials is very competitive so flawless is never a sure thing. If you like PvP and want to improve then its definitely worth a shot. If you mainly just want loot/emblem/grimoire then it's actually much easier to have someone else play your account.

Mehrnman please it was all 720 cross map no scopes.Pretty easy to get when you spend all game hardscoping corners
I was hardscoping a lane on Cathedral
Thanks for the reply.
Not played much Trials before.....ran about 3 cards in year 1 and haven't played any in year 2. I've got loads of passage coins, I'm in the UK. I'd say I'm an above average PvP'er and really want to improve so it would be great if we could somehow arrange a card or 2!

Lol, sniping bores to absolute tears now. I just wish I could find a gun that matches up with Shotgun as well as Thorn for LL enabled stuff
Universal remote + side arm let's go
Slammin_Hammon

Bungie can you please make Handcannons as accurate as every other weapon class while in range? Even with max range bullets still inexplicably miss at times.
mehrmantrout
Member
I'd be up for trying that with all of us running scumsinger
A Yr2 Thorn is our only hope but, they'd probably remove send it making it the same as everything else :d
Slammin_Hammon
Member
I'm baffled they haven't already changed it to hammer forged tbh. But if I have to take a year 2 Thorn to get decent accuracy the accuracy isn't worth it to me, such is my despise for the Thorn.

The new HoJ sidearm seems pretty good, got one yesterday.
The Greg's promise meta was a lie though, that pos can't kill anything.
Why wait? PoE 41 has matchmaking.
Yeah we got two as well, any two others?
I think someone got killed with Greg's yesterday in one of my trials games.

Embrace the dark side, it's pretty balanced now the DoT has been nerfed. But you're right it's baffling how they've left the range unchecked when every other HC has been nerfed into the ground
I got that from the 30k (or whatever one gives you the weapon), base stats look good but like all the different perks and types of sidearms I still don't get it, you point the gun and pull the trigger as quickly as possible
Slammin_Hammon
Member
I haven't tried it but their changes seem reasonable. I just dislike pretty much all DoT damage.
Still need some more
