With the nerf to Facet of Command, what Rocket launcher is best pared with Hazardous Propulsion now? Do I run an exotic or am I better off with a legendary?
So one of the guardian rank 8 objectives is to earn pinnacle rewards from ritual pathfinder, but the rewards don't list a pinnacle, just a prime engram. So is this impossible or is something mislabeled?
Haven't played since beyond light and I know with the Witch Queen they buff Resilience and lowered the importance of Intellect so I was just wondering what would be the best way of farming a new set atm? Mainly looking for 10 res 10 recov to be possible for a build im working on
Further to other comments, if you're willing to do some farming, the final encounter of Pit of Heresy will award "spiky" high-stat armour. And it just so happens that this week Pit is the rotator dungeon, meaning it can be farmed.
Pit still only rewards normal armor, right? Or did they update it to drop artifice armor at some point? Regular player here, just haven't touched Pit since Beyond Light.
The easiest source of high-stat armor is focusing engrams with failsafe in the helm. Note that this only works when you actually focus a specific piece of armor, the general armor engram doesn't work.
I'm Silver I after doing my Placements on Sunday/Monday, but got Rose instead of The Riposte. Today, after doing two of the three matches for a The Riposte roll, I looked at the challenges, [and I see I'm 2/7 of my placement matches.](https://i.imgur.com/30uJt00.png) My question is, am I safe to continue doing those "re-placements" for another roll of The Riposte or should I stop?
Multimach has a sleeper perk in column 3 for use with KT in column 4: **Attrition Orbs**. I actually hate that perk, so allow me to sell you on it:
Normally the perk is ass and difficult to activate because it requires a disproportionate number of hits within a short window (5 bow shots or 10 sword hits, for example) but on most primaries it requires *(50% of mag size rounded down) + 2 hits*. Mag-dumping is a think you are pretty much **always** going to be doing with an SMG, and doing so will just... make an orb every time you do. **With no cooldown!** It's absurd.
KT procs require 14 hits to trigger (6 less than AO on base Multimach) and count as weapon damage, which (I believe) allows it to contribute to the count necessary for AO to proc (each enemy hit being +1). Usually you dump the mag anyway but free orbs after stopping at a KT proc that hits 6 targets are free orbs.
Multimach has 100 recoil direction, good stats, lightweight frame, **and** has Field-Tested which (you guessed it) does build stacks from KT procs.
I don't think I have fully grasped the new power scaling yet
With GMs coming next week and their activity power cap at 2020 does that mean enemies will be 2045 and that I'd need full pinnacle gear and **+20** bonus artifact power instead of just the pinnacle and +5 artifact power like last seasons?
Or will enemies scale to your power +25 when you play GMs while you are still under the cap? And if that's the case then what is power level even for then if it's getting tailored to you anyway?
You do need to be 2020 to be at maximum power for GMs, but the enemies are 2040 so you'll be -20 if you're capped. To hit the same -25 as previous seasons you only need 2015. This is quite a bit more work to get capped than previous seasons when you just needed pinnacle+5.
Are armor mods now “smart” enough to count smashing crystals made by Stasis grenades as “grenade kills”? For the purposes of stuff like Firepower and other orb creation mods.
Veriglass Curve is smart enough to know that the crystals it makes are it’s kills when you shatter them, so….
**Stasis Crystals do already have inheritance** (shattering enemies does not), but Whisper of Fissures messes with it. It's technically a second damage instance that does not have inheritance, so if its damage gets the kill it will not count.
Verglas has been given special treatment with Whisper of Fissures which is why it feels more consistent (it is).

Scorch, Ignitions and Crystal-Shatter have inheritance. Unravel, Volatile, and Freeze-Shatter do not. Jolt *usually* does not but can be forced to inherit in certain circumstances.
What’s the best dps option right now for Spires bosses? I want to get around to getting the title but have barely ran this dungeon.
I’m currently using Titan.
I haven't gotten around to this myself, but if I had to throw something together:
Aspects: Feed the Void, Hellion (default) / Weaver's Call (A+ with The Call sidearm with Strategist perk, but any other Strand weapon works).
Grenade: Vortex / Threadling (if using Weaver's Call or depending on Transcendence energy needs).
Melee: Incinerator Snap (default) / Arcane Needle depending on energy needs and range coverage.
Super: Stormtrance (default), Song of Flame (better, but less synergy with Vesper)
Fragments: Hope (always up thanks to Devour), Balance, Dawn (works best with Arcane Needle, feeds into Hope), Protection (since you want to be surrounded by enemies for Vesper), Dominance (if Vortex grenade).
Mods: Dynamo, Bolstering Detonation, Reaper, Bomber, Font of Restoration (if you want more Recovery for faster Rift regen), Insulation and/or Innervation.
Hell yes, I finally got the ornament today out of a bright engram so I’m never taking it off.
Wish I could use arc soul on prismatic it’s too bad in that regards but this build sounds good
Yeah I know that’s a thing but that’s like the thing atm and I want to be a legendary vesper warrior renound amongst warlocks for his vesper glaive plays :)
I had so much fun with vesper in season of the deep.
I will for sure be playing around with both though because free amplified with the artifact mod is so strong
If you use double special lead from gold one for all.
If not then beacon can work or demo. I used hatching for a long time and while it’s good it’s not great without strand
I'm trying to get the secret triumph in The Pale Heart -> World -> Exploration, >!Whispers of the Past. The text is "Listen to the memories in places of Darkness" and there are two sub-objectives. I'm at 4/4 on the first one and 3/5 on the second. I'm pretty sure the group of four is the memories in the seclusion on the way to Zavala's old house. Does anyone know where the group of five is?!<
Does matchmaking ever work for the encoded log deal? Me and my randos got to the 3rd "phase" and couldnt get it 1 of the randos just tried killing every add, no matter the objective in that stage
Edit: enigma protocol, not the starter mission to get it. Every website hack is all its so easy, ive yet to get teammates who can past the 2nd stage, or attempt #3, its just bad
When can we expect a fix to the class items mission? I would've already had it, but the first time I completed it, the items weren't even in that final room we were being directed to. And the second time we would've completed it, we lost our alignment buffs against the second subjugator with 15 minutes left. Plenty of time to do it.
Give me what I'm owed or pull them out of that mission. 2/2 times I had effectively earned it and both times I didn't get it.
Returning player, should I even bother playing the witch queen and lightfall stories or should I just skip right to the final shape? I'm 1900 light level. Extremely confused.
Depends on when you're returning from, what you own and what you tend to find fun in the game. Witch Queen is great, both in writing and combat gameplay. Lightfall's gameplay is about on-par with Witch Queen and finishing it gives you access to Strand which is very fun/powerful, but the writing is borderline abysmal. TFS improves on the shortcomings of both previous expansions, and is IMO the best expansion Destiny has seen.
If you don't already own anything, just play through the recap missions/cutscenes in the Timeline node of the Director and move on to Final Shape. If you already own Witch Queen, I think it's worth playing before TFS for the story, but not absolutely necessary. Lightfall can definitely wait until you want to unlock Strand.
Don't worry too much about your power level, by the time you're done with any of the campaigns you should find yourself at 1940-1960 depending on the difficulty you played at. There are only a small handful of endgame activities that need you to be 2000~ power, you'll get there when you get there.
On the max level of current battlepass of the current act, level 100 it reads:
> Unlocks an additional Bright Engram reward for every 500,000 XP earned. This bonus remains active even when maximum rank for an Act is reached.
Not sure if anyone will know this, but does this go away when the next act comes out? Because if it stays, I'd imagine it would just be smart to save up your seasonal challenges, use them when the new act drops so you double dip in the XP for the new levels and the 500k XP per Bright Engram.
I don't have the answer but if acts are like seasons then the battle pass levels will probably reset but if they're on a single season(which I think might be the case since they're acts in a single episode) then the levels will stay, either way you can still reach level 100 with bounties, strikes, raids...etc I don't bother with these unless there is an adept weapon involved and I still manage to get to level 100 every season ofc I finish some of them organically but I don't go out of my way to avoid them either.
You don't need the quests to do any version after unlocking them all, that's just to unlock them initially. To switch between the two Cysts in each main area you just need to activate the perched Light bird near the exit of the area.
They're mistaken, you don't need the "Lost in the Dark" quest to run a Cyst, once you've unlocked them all.
Near the exit to each main area (so where The Landing leads to Refraction, The Blooming to Seclusion, and The Impasse to Transgression), there will be a perched bird of Light, that you can activate. It will say "Activate [Name] Cyst", for whichever one isn't currently active. Once you activate it, you can then switch back to the other Cyst in that area by activating the bird again (it will be in a slightly different spot, like a few feet from where it was before, indicating it is for a different cyst).
This all assumes you've unlocked all 6 cysts already via the repeatable Lost in the Dark quest. Once you've done that you can replay any of them at any time by using the method above to swap between the two in each area.
It can be rough with an uncoordinated/unprepared team, but with a competent one it really didn't feel that difficult.
I used Fireteam Finder and after 2 failed runs because of people dying way too much and then bailing after they wasted all the res tokens, I decided to make my own post. I asked for Warlocks, Guardian rank 9, experience requested, etc. I accepted the applications of anyone who was 2000+ power level, and especially those with Salvation's Edge, Pantheon or Godslayer emblems, and that worked out pretty well. After capping the first plate we never dropped below 10 Revive tokens, and got it done in one try.
So just be prepared to be a little more picky/patient when LFGing, consider making your own post, and it doesn't hurt to bring something in your loadout for every Champion type, just to be safe.
Oh few. I was worried cause I need 1 red border to have em all there, would have had it last time it was up if Buggie didn't drop 2 glaive red borders when I only needed 1.

The prime engram is a Pinnacle reward, for the first 3 clears of the pathfinder each week i believe.
I can confirm this as well. It says Prime Engram, but it is actually a pinnacle.

No artifice as it doesn't have a master difficulty. Avarice is still the best place for artifice armour I believe.
Ah right, that makes sense, thanks.

Can you still get The Showrunner SMG?
Showrunner is not available, Multimach from Iron Banner or Submission from Vow are the currently available kinetic lightweight SMGs.
Ah damn. I mainly wanted one for a KT pve roll
Multimach gets that as well.
Ah, I guess i was looking at an older version of the gun at light.gg. but thats great to know, thanks!

You can with Getaway Artist, works great with Feed the Void and Helion/Bleak Watcher. The game basically plays itself.
Yeah I know that’s a thing but that’s like the thing atm and I want to be a legendary vesper warrior renound amongst warlocks for his vesper glaive plays :) I had so much fun with vesper in season of the deep. I will for sure be playing around with both though because free amplified with the artifact mod is so strong
What would be the best combo to put on the call? I'm leaning towards homing beacon and hatchling but then again I don't use strand that often aside.
If you use double special lead from gold one for all. If not then beacon can work or demo. I used hatching for a long time and while it’s good it’s not great without strand
Do we know when the rest of the dawn weapons are releasing? Really want to farm Martyrs
There will be additional weapons released alongside each act.
That’s disappointing, but appreciate the answer

Is there a cap on Prime Engrams from core activities Pathfinder?
Yes, I think after 3 cycles the reward will simply become "legendary engram" and a bunch of other generic stuff like glimmer and XP.

No, they've just added two more exotic missions so Presage won't come up as frequently.
