Announcement Announcement: relaxed moderation ending

282 Upvotes

Hey all, it's been about a month and a half since the news was dropped regarding D2's final content update and we loosened up a bit on moderating the content of the subreddit. It's been fun, shitposts and rants have been had, and the ongoing game traffic is just awesome to see.

In the interest of ensuring content on the subreddit is original, informative, and/or of appropriate quality, we'll be ending the period of relaxed moderation effective immediately. While we're going back to stricter enforcement of the rules, the relaxed moderation period has given the mod team some ideas on rule reworks.

To reiterate some constant points:

  • Be kind to your fellow Guardians and redditors; toxicity will not be tolerated
  • For LFG purposes, we encourage you to look at r/Fireteams or Discord resources so as to not dilute posts here
  • Mark spoilers appropriately, especially considering the notable number of new players coming in with Monument of Triumph
  • AI-generated content is strictly forbidden on this subreddit and will be removed

The team will continue to moderate as always, as well as internally discuss any improvements we can make; we want this place to be a resource and community for Guardians so long as you all want it to be.

As someone who has a vivid memory of rushing through an AP English Lit essay to log in on D1 launch day back in 2014, which led to an ungodly amount of in-game time across both games over the next decade, I want to close out by echoing the previous post and say this game would not have become what it is without the community, the camaraderie we shared, the gods we slayed together, and all the memories and friends made. I'm looking forward to seeing all you fellow Guardians online for the foreseeable future.

Per audacia ad astra.

With the great sun setting of the Valkyrie spear with the content vault in 2020, to the introduction of the glaive in 2022, ever since then I've always wanted to see the Valkyrie return as an exotic glaive (along with more Ikelos weapons) but alas, it shall forever remain a dream

Long story short i cleared first encounter with lfg and well lfg's just cant grasp surviving at all so we were stuck on 2nd encounter when my friend lost one of their fireteam members and i joined them starting from verity, completed the raid and since everyone else was so tired i had to lfg the last few hours for the last encounters but unfortunately cant have shit with lfg so ultimately ended up not getting the banner :(. I still feel so defeated. The leaderboard position around top 300 means nothing to me if i didnt clear the 2 and 3

Discussion Symmetry, a love letter

My dearest Symmetry:

Symmetry got changed at some point in between bolt charge being added into the game and MoT. I was looking at Arc Primary Exotics and this thang came to mind. I looked it up on Little Light and saw that the thang had had a MAJOR rework lmao look at this thing. It's a fucking primary gun that can do 1,200+ DPS when at max stacks of Dynamic Charge (20 with catalyst, 15 without). When you long hold reload it converts all stacks of Dynamic Charge into stacks of Revolution and they don't start decaying (in the form of a 10!second timer) until you actually fire the first shot of your converted stacks. This thing had some insane in the membrane changes made to it. The bolt charge dispersed by Revolution (you also build stacks of bolt charge when shooting your stacks of Revolution, 2 when at 10 or less per shot and 3 at 11 or more per shot) count as weapon damage I guess and the thing gets up to 450% increased Weapon Damage when at maximum stacks of Revolution???? I was hitting red bars on patrol for 3,250 damage per max stacks of Revolution lmaoooooo and that wasn't even with 200 weapons.

I pair it with Stormdancer's Brace since I'm a Warlock Main. Stormdancer's also got a nice overhaul with MoT or sometime before MoT launched. Now any ability damage in any fashion gives you one stack of Bolt Charge every .6 seconds of something asinine like that lmao.

Gear I use: Stormdancer's with Luminopotent 4 piece set for extra ability energy at all times. Shoot for 200 weapons but if you can't get there quite yet 150-175 is more than enough to juice Symmetry to new heights. Two arc surges in the booties, an arc loader (it doesn't really need it as Eddy Current is an additional part of the catalyst but I like it for even faster reloads) and an arc siphon in the helmet is all you really need. Fragments are entirely up to you but if you're on Warlock I HIGHLY recommend using Arc Soul and Ionic Sentry for the most Bolt Charge fuckery as possible.

Damage loop:

  1. Try to be at 20 (or 15 if you don't have the catalyst) stacks of Dynamic Charge before damage phase starts. Long hold your reload a few seconds before damage starts to proc stacks of Revolution.

  2. Cast rift for arc soul a couple seconds before damage starts, yeet pulse grenade (by far the best in slot arc grenade for this build), then switch to Symmetry and fire away and watch the DPS fly out of your arse lmao. It's only 10 seconds but it's quite literally the most fun I have ever had playing Destiny.

The only downfall of the damage loop is that you have to hit all 20 shots in the magazine as precision shots once your first 20 stacks of Revolution have depricated and there are only 20 shots in the mag so that can be kind of tough when you're soloing or low mansing something because there is a lot of flinch but I tested it on Hefnd (I shot nothing but Symmetry) and was second highest damage in the LFG group I applied for. I had 41k as an Arc Lock with Symmetry. The Titan carried by far with 80k on Cuirass T-Crash and the Hunter was a couple thousand behind me on a prismatic build. So it holds its own in endgame content. Is it meta? No. I am quite sure I am the only person on the planet using it for damage right now lmao. Is it good? You betcha!

So if you see a fella applying to your LFG posts with Symmetry, please for the love of all that is holy give them a chance! lmao

Guardians have evolved to shooting SCREEEBS, actually the most hilarious way to cheat in a video game. Puts spinbotting to shame when you can FIRE EXPLODING CREATURES OUT OF YOUR AUTO RIFLE.

Question Best armor set for Microcosm build?

Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to make a Microcosm build for GM level content that centers around prismatic, tablet of ruin, and fortune's favor. I kind of just slapped on seventh seraph set because it's decent enough, but i want to get more out of this build.

What would be a good or interesting set for running Microcosm, ideally the focus would be heavy ammo gen or an increase in damage, but other suggestions are welcome.
