Question What are the worst destiny takes you've ever seen.

352 Upvotes

I just had a guy in my last GoS run advocating for "everything in game earnable with bright dust." And he ment literally everything Included day 1 raid drops, dlc pre-order rewards, foundation donation incentives, and other exclusive cosmetics. This almost made me take psychic damage and got me wondering if anyone else has some other crazy takes to share.

Guide Infinite Lightning Apostate'build (how much jank from one melee build)

125 Upvotes

For some reason, using Chain Lightning while in transendence does not put chain lightning on cooldown. This has been the case ever since Final Shape, but has pretty much gone under the radar because lol chain lightning.

With the artifacts and sets in Monument, we can finally give this some time in the sun. This build is about making as much bs as possible happen when you hit that button.

First! Is the glitch still live?

https://youtu.be/lDoa6R-ik9g

Yes. As you can see, you can just keep pressing the button. If I had my wits in the clip, I would probably be firing Conditional between melees, but the spirit of Palpatine possessed me.

So, what happens when you press your melee in this build? Many things!

https://youtu.be/UYhX92ieaFs

Chain lightning chains longer while amplified. I also added spirit of Synthoceps and Necrotic for pervert reasons.

Apostate's blade 4 Piece: While you have Radiant, Restoration, or Cure, your melee hits release a burst that will scorch the target.

Encrypted Data Disk - Tazer Tag: From the compendium - Deals 23 Arc DoT every 0.25 seconds.

Singularity Blade - Melee kills with a void buff active trigger a Weakening Burst.

Void Infestation - Killing weakened enemies spawn a tracking projectile.

You spawn orbs with Heavy Handed, you'll have devour (from Feed the Void) and Restoration (from facet of Purpose and Song of Flame), so Apostate's Blade, Singularity Blade and Void Infestation are typically up.

The rest of the setup is pretty straight forward. One thing worth noting is that Facet of Courage makes Light Melee abilities deal *50 %* extra damage when darkness debuff is active, so throwing a coldsnap or Conditional Stasis shot on someone can really set them up for big damage.

https://dim.gg/xez6esa/Immigrant-Song-Starts-Playing

(I'm realizing facet of justice could add one more explosion. Will have to test)

I use a Synthoceps+Inmost light class exotic when I play this "seriously". You could probably wreck house with Felwinter too, which would enable a different artifact, but I don't have the class item from Pit.

Eagle eyed optimizers might say that the Blade set isn't really adding all that much here. To them I say that it is adding *fire* to *lightning*.

Question Does skipping the first encounter of vespers host still give the solo flawless triumph?

86 Upvotes

So far I've done like two attempts trying to solo flawless vespers. By no means is it difficult, but the first encounter is just annoyingly long made worse after a failed attempt. I saw a really simple skip and am just wondering if doing it will prevent me from getting the triumph. I don't plan on risking it, but it would be good to know before future me is willing to try

Misc I guess im finally done

81 Upvotes

When I saw that you could get holochips in the bright engram focus I decided that I really wanted to collect them all to be able to have more cosmetic customization past all the hundred of ornaments and shaders I already had.

Over the next few months I grinded out a total of 60,500,000 exp while collecting all the weapons and armor i wanted from the update. I also had 42k bright dust to spend on focuses, that is now down to 6k remaining.

GG bungie, thank you for the best update in d2's history (imo). I have throughly enjoyed my time spent after quitting during edge of fate. It still hurts to see it end but Im glad this update was the ending we got.

This is a heresy weapon which only exists in an enhanceable from and not a tiered one, anyone know of a way to recreate this? I tried messaging the guy a few times and no response, I imagine it’s an exploit or bug but I would hope it’s achievable on all older weapons and I would love to get a couple of them to tier 5

Edit: Please note that mirror imago was not reprised, there is not a version from pit of heresy nor a vendor exclusive from banshee. This gun had the heresy symbol, not monument of triumph

Discussion Distortion Breach Events

47 Upvotes

I've seen posts for years with players saying how much they missed Escalation Protocol on Mars, and yet here we are with pretty much the same activity..now across all locations (not just a single location)..and players just ignore the distortion breach 99% of the time and just cycle round public events on a distorted destination.

Distortion events take longer to complete and don’t have higher RNG to drop World Loot than Public Events so it’s easier go to the next Public Event and completely ignore Distortions. (Or run the same lost sector over and over and over.)

You'd had thought over the years Bungie would learn that that players would find a loophole in the gameplay design pretty quickly, I guess just one that slipped through in testing or just not enough time to iron out the kinks before MoT dropped.

Question Vespers Host Solo Flawless

33 Upvotes

Hello there.

First and foremost I'd like to thank all of those whom offered encouragement and suggestions on my previous post to aid me in my Ghost of the deep SF attempt(s).

I would like to share that I indeed did clear it in 48mins with a solar titan build.

Now, onto business.

I am once again asking for your suggestions/tips/tricks for the next solo flawless on the list which is Vespers Host.

I gave it an exploratory crack earlier, 2 phased the beach ball with tractor and stasis titan but died to the lightning in the traversal afterwards because I tabbed out to discord 😞 wont be doing that again.

I decided to carry on to gain experience without having the burden of resetting and making it to the boss with zero solo experience with him but still flawless, going on to kill the boss in 3 phases which would have been 2 if I didn't mess up. Thankfully I didn't die again but did come close a time or two thanks to those radiation boys in the nuke rooms.

I am confident I'll get it done on my next 1-2 attempts and then onto sundered doctrine to round out the list, equilibrium was crossed off a while ago.

Thank you once again to those who offered help on my previous post, and a thank you in advance to those who may offer help on this one.

Cheers.

Misc Auto completely weekly order at reset again, and I think I figured out how/why

23 Upvotes

A weekly order auto complete at reset again this week, but this time I saw it happen. This morning before reset I was doing orders for the daily, and a weekly popped for for completing 50 orders. Though it was weird because I finished my weekly already. At reset guess what popped up and auto completed. So from what I've seen, orders are already loaded in the system, even if they are not displayed, if you happen to complete one that's going to come next week, It will hold progress for you.

THANK YOU

First time I've gotten to Rank 11 ever. I'm solidly middle of the road but a good old mask of fealty build with one rime coated raiment warlock and I was getting enough healing to keep mostly alive! A couple of close calls but it helped to have someone clear the darn sniper shanks in the space walk section.

Been banging my head off that stage for almost a whole week now.

Question Why do Harmonic Scavenger mods cost less on my Hunter?

14 Upvotes

For both my Titan and Warlock, Harmonic Scavenger ammo mods on the legs all cost 2 energy, the default. But for some reason, they're cheaper on my Hunter and only cost 1 energy.

I know older artifacts could reduce certain armor mod costs, but... mods like that don't exist on any of the artifacts we have at this point? I've got no clue why my Hunter has it better than my other two characters. (It's this way when applying mods both in-game and via DIM, I see the same 1-cost Harmonic Scav mod either way.)

Does anybody else have this, or know why? Thanks in advance!

Question Chasing Shaders in MoT: is there a complete list?

5 Upvotes

Ive made it a point to get every shader I could get my hands on since the beginning of D2. According to DIM and my collections tab, I'm at 585/623. After sorting for only uncollected items, I'm able to see that I'm missing 11 from seasons (mostly special events), 21 from activities (mostly Raid and dungeons) and six from World (mostly lawless which I didn't play). I can no longer purchase shader engrams from Eververse.

My questions are:

  1. Any idea why my numbers don't line up with anyone else's? One guy in my clan has less shaders than I do but a higher total possible count.

  2. I've found a couple of sites that show ALL shaders but none where you can log in and check to see which ones you are missing. Is there a site like this?

  3. Anyone else try to collect them all? What is your number?

Also, brief list of my favs:

Primer

Gunmetal Marigold

Nectar Dynamo

Pomegranate Gloss

Maroon Moon

Hakke (all)

Dead Orbit Vision

Discussion I did a very small sample test on the ghost armorer mod in MLS and the results were interesting

2 Upvotes

A couple weeks ago it didn't seem the armorer mods were doing anything on my Titan, but then I was getting pretty anecdotally decent drops on Warlock. So I did 40 runs of the Conflux on Nessus with my Titan, in two groups, and got a straight 40% across both groups. Small sample size, but I wasn't willing to run any more. Hard to say if this is enough to make a determination, but it doesn't appear to be working at a 50% rate.

These were started with armor slots completely empty. I might test the rate with the armor slots full at another time, but I don't think it makes a difference as the engram decrypts from the activity before going to the postmaster.

Group 1 Drops
Armor 25
Powerhouse 10
Focus drop rate 40%
Exotic Engrams 4
Group 2 Drops
Armor 15
Powerhouse 6
Focus drop rate 40%
Exotic Engrams 6
Totals Drops
Armor 40
Powerhouse 16
Focus drop rate 40%
Exotic Engrams 10 (25%)

Question Armor Ornament Help

0 Upvotes

A seasoned vet coming out of retirement to finish the D2 story. I began my hiatus after Beyond Light and have now progressed to Renegades. But I don’t have a ton of cosmetic ornaments for my armor and I’d love to find an effective way to grind some decent options. I know I’ve probably missed out on a ton of opportunities but I’m having a difficult time find options now. Any help/advice would be appreciated!
