Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

QS Storm feels really nice now. Also nice TWAB, finally getting weapons balanced.

Leaked patch notes for exotics in S21, take them with a grain of salt.

Full patch note part of the leak for those interested (link to original leak would also spoil seasonal content), sorry for individual spoilers mobile formatting sucks and I can’t figure it out.

Salvation’s Grip: Charged shot forms a group of six crystals, uncharged shot fires a grenade that shatters.

Eyes of Tomorrow: Defeating 4 targets in one volley refunds the rocket.

Graviton Lance: Shot delay reduced by 20% to match Revision Zero’s two-burst rate of fire. Damage difference between both bullets reduced.

Tommy’s Matchbook: Catalyst updated, when overheated sustained fire deals scorch to enemies.(14 base, +7 with Ember of Ashes)

Worldline Zero: Tesseract can be chained into itself one time, damage slightly reduced.

Legend of Acrius: Max ammo increased from 12 > 16, projectile distance increased from 9m to 12m.

Vesper of Radius: Now emits a shockwave every 3s that deals 200 PvE + 70 PvP damage. If the shockwave kills an enemy, they explode on delay for 100 damage. When on Stormcaller, both effects afflict blind.

Chromatic Fire: Elemental explosions now afflict debuffs aligning with your subclass.(Doesn’t specify which debuffs)

Dawn Chorus: Daybreak projectiles deal increased damage to enemies affected by Scorch.

Ophidian Aspect: Melee range extension removed.

Astrocyte Verse: Blinking will leave behind a burst of Void damage that suppresses enemies.

Sanguine Alchemy: Grants a small damage bonus to weapons matching your subclass element while standing in a Rift.

Mantle of Battle Harmony: Damage buff changed to a non-stacking damage buff.

Dunemarchers: Chain lightning range reduced from 20m to 12m. PvP damage decreased from 85 > 50.

Point Contact Cannon Brace: Lightning Strikes now jolt enemies. PvE damage increased from 50 to 200. Being amplified increases damage of Lightning strikes by 50%. Amplified no longer increases range of Lightning strikes.

Second Chance: Second shield throw now also weakens and will be refunded if it stuns a Barrier Champion.

Stronghold: Damaging an enemy after blocking damage with a Sword grants Restoration.

Eternal Warrior: Arc kills grant an escalating bonus to Arc weapon damage. After Fist of Havoc ends, gain highest bonus to Arc weapon damage.

Khepri’s Horn: Solar wave now scorches.

The Path of Burning Steps: No longer stacks with Surge mods.

Sealed Ahamkara Grasps: Powered melee kills reload all weapons matching your subclass energy. While buff is active, increases jump height and movement speed.

Raiju’s Harness: Deactivating your super causes a blinding explosion that increases Arc weapon damage. 15% in PvE and 5% in PvP.

Athrys’s Embrace: Rapid precision hits grant Weighted Knife energy.

Oathkeeper: The longer an arrow is drawn, the more damage it deals.(PvE only)

Stomp-EE5: Airborne Effectiveness penalty removed. Bonus is now only active while you have full dodge energy.

Radiant Dance Machines: Kills extend the duration of its effect.

Mask of Bakris: No longer stacks with Surge mods. Damage bonus increased from 10% > 25% with a slight bonus added to PvP at 7%.(Doesn’t specify which bonus or whether it just folds both into one shared bonus)

Starfire Protocol: Grenade energy gained per damage tick reduced from 20% > 5%.(Will take 8 seconds for a grenade to be refunded rather than 2 seconds) IMO this will likely move Starfire to B-C tier. Sucks as it’s been a part of my boss loadout since Splicer and we never got a single ornament for the actual exotic. I wish there could’ve been a way to nerf it’s interaction with Touch of Flame as that’s the main problem. I guess it’s had it’s time of being absolutely broken for an entire year though.

No Backup Plans: Effect description reworked/updated: Defeating a powerful combatant or rapid final blows with a Shotgun grants a Void Overshield and starts health regeneration. While you have a Void Overshield, shotguns deal additional damage and shotgun final blows refresh the Overshield. Provides a moderate bonus to the airborne effectiveness and reload speed to Shotguns.

Love the latest patch. As mkopec stated, the Quicksilver Storm (Which I LOVE because it is so stable and I got a great roll) is now awesome. I was able to finally complete 3 legendary lost sectors solo yesterday. 2 still to go and one without dying. If I had taken my time a little more I could have done it yesterday in perdition, but I was just having fun being finally able to complete one without getting smoked.

Lowering the HP and such of the Legendary/Master mobs is huge. The game went from bullet sponge retardation to fun overnight and yet still somewhat of a challenge. Let's hope it stays this way.

Everyone got the same one?

I just figure let it be and let him enjoy his god roll.

I'll head back to my corner and make fun of myself to keep that reputation here alive and well.

Pretty much done with this season. Got all the craftable weapons unlocked, at least the seasonal and neoluna (last pulse took literally 3 weeks of grinding the gold patrols on neoluna whenever I did them, it was hours and hours of doing that shit). Master work leveled and crafted the pulse and hand cannon....Did the raid a few times, got the exotic shot gun and a few nice rolls on the AR, some nice linears, all I ever wanted... got to level 190 something on season, Most vendors are flipped, some many times. Dont need to do GMs because I have good armor and most of the good shit master worked. I might come back for the Iron Banana if its a good mode that I like. Never even bothered with the last one, worst mode EVER. Even did some solo trials runs, but I suck, but even so I got a few engrams here and there and got some gear and guns. I still have like 200+ or so seasonal engrams to turn in at end of season too so they dont go to waste. Same with vanguard.

I mean there is always something to grind for in this game but I find if I take breaks its way better to come back and do it all over again next season. I will need to grind some weekly missions next seasons for more crafting golf balls, shit is getting low now. I think I had like 20 (ten banked and 10 in inventory) but crafted a shit ton last season and this one. And now im down to like 2 or so. It was nice when they dropped during season of haunted from doing the seasonal activity, I think I got the majority of them there. I hope they add them to drop table of next season, here is hoping or else im grinding those missions.

There's a well-known glitch that literally provides god-mode invincibility in this week's campaign mission. Run it on master with the rest of us and solve your Ascendant Alloy inventory problem.

Ran the stupid mission 5 times with my kid and some random on master with the glitch and got one fucking Ascendant alloy, loooool. I want 1.5 hours of my life back. At least my kid got 3.
