So do you guys still think the doctrine/Arminius archetype was destroyed? I only used it for a week before the latest nerf, and it still felt alright to me last night. It is harder to control at range, but nothing too crazy. I'm not sure if it can compete with a grasp. But my only experience versus that was against nKuch, and he would destroy me with any gun.

Would need to be ORES scope to be the commonly accepted God roll (unless you're Ape.)

I thought the OAS scope was the better scope for grasp?

ORS is the best scope and the scope that Kadey and Weteha's God Rolls have. It gives you the maximum range with no penalty to other stats. OES is the second best scope you can get, but you loose an additional 4 range.

Infusing a different legendary helm with thsee stats as soon as I get the marks/rep for one. I feel gross for even wearing it.

Where's the best place to farm Taken champions on Mars? Finished Venus and Earth but can't find a popular place for Mars
No. However .. with GRASP farming, I was getting either 334 or 335

The quest info should tell you the areas that taken spawn in if you haven't seen that yet. If you have, I found that they spawn in the Scablands a lot. It's the area to the right of where you spawn in patrol.

I like the spot right where patrol starts. The taken lieuntenants will spawn down where the Cabal - Vex battle is happening; the Champion will often spawn up the hill where the patrol starts. Often other people there.

Can't comment on Arminus since I didn't try it but tried my CB Doctorine and didn't notice too much of a difference. The kick is a little bit more to control but I was even picking off guys from distance. It's still a beast up close to medium range.
No.
This community makes huge deals about the smallest of nerfs and claims the sky is falling.
The Doctrine archetype was clearly broken. It was head and shoulders above the rest.
Even in it's toned downed state it's still the best, just a little less bullshit.

Anyone else want to get on in this sunbro NF?
Damage at mid range went from about 16 to 11 for crits. It's dead. And it wasn't bullshit before. It took a skilled hand to handle the recoil at range and get those "bullshit" kills.
Try using it against a good HC, Grasp, or even MIDA now--good luck. Reddit complained, got it nerfed, and now we have one less viable primary option, period.

Plus, the doctrine archetype was only good if you had a perfect roll, so you didn't see too many of them floating around. Even before the nerf, there were still a few weapons that could compete with it. Now, those few weapons will just destroy it, like hawksaw or Mida.

The doctrine was good regardless of roll. It's just counter balance was amazing
It was capable of killing faster than any weapon in close, mid, and even far range it would beat out MIDA.
It doesn't take a skilled handle to control when the recoil with Counter Balance is non-existent.
I used my Soulstealer's Claw yesterday and had no issues with it being competitive.
This is the kind of talk I'm referring to where people get it in their heads and put out the narrative that a gun is useless unless it's not God-tier or broken good.
Please tell me a better AR than the Doctrine archetype currently.
lol, wut?
Counterbalance was one of the only 4 rolls the gun could get and even without it, it was still the best.

I should rephrase what I said. It was only God like with the perfect roll, with the other rolls it was good, but a lot harder to control.
Edit: just because the doctrine archetype is the best AR, doesn't mean other weapons can't beat it.
Without an accuracy perk, that archetype is hard to control. All they had to do was remove CB or persistence from doctrine and it probably would've been fine.

How do I go about finding out the aim assist values of scopes? When I look at all of my grasps, in destiny item manager, the aim assist values are based on...what? which scope does that figure take into account?
I don't want to have to level a few of them up to see which really has the better AA.

Did they stealth patch the damage fall off? I can't say I ever noticed 16 at mid-range. Maybe my definition of mid-range is different, but I was seeing 13 damage from the same distances I think I used to see 14.

Two days of intermittent farming: 17 bonds and 14 grasps.

You're useless ... but so am I
I think we'll have opportunities to try holding gaze, brand, relic, etc. It's no pressure and an opportunity to get better.

You can't hold gaze nor run the relic?
RIP challenge modes.
Golguie CM: Everyone holds gaze.
Daughters: Brand is RNG, so you may get stuck with it. One of the two or three times.
Shooting things doesn't count in as an "ability" in KFHM. Everyone must know what they are doing. So be prepared to learn.
Good luck!

Holding gaze and running relic are probably the easiest parts in those encounters. Hardly anything has a chance to kill you.
TheTylerDurden

Awesome, thanks!
So looking at my grasps, I have one that has:
-truesight IS (+5 stability, +5 aim assist, +8 reload, +8 handling)
-counterbalance
- perfect balance
- third eye
Short of getting a red dot sight that has slightly better stability stats, this seems as close as I am going to get to a god roll.
Stability on DIM shows up as 59, AA at 82

As long as you are prepared for people to leave occasionally. I've found that once I get 2 teammates who stick around I can normally get a good run of strikes from them.
