It's even easier to DDOS on PC than on console. I dread to think what its like.

Was watching some streams, it looks a different game. So much faster. Do much more reflex based.

The game on PC is a joy to behold, looks truly stunning.

As for the headaches the PvP will bring thats another kettle of sardines.

Had shesnaps on for a bit last night cause she was the bungie bounty - she was having huge difficulty with playing on xbox after pc.

The only reason I am glad I can't afford the PC rig I'd want for destiny.

I've actually never played the arms dealer one, never seems to come up for me.

Lads in work are at me to get this on the pc but I'm just trying to will myself into it, slog of the campaign again is what's stopping me for now

You can do arms dealer right now - its the nightfall! I failed it a few times on prestige last night.:(

Wonda-Boy

Just completed the challenge mode there on bathers, the emblem is nice and you get twice the loot but I think I will stick with the prestige raid emblem.

You do it on normal? Heard datto saying zero point to ring it on prestige. Nothing different for doing it, just a crap load harder.

Wonda-Boy

Ahh yeah just normal, its not that hard TBH. Just leave one chap in the water in the middle at all times shooting ads while the rest rotate clockwise. Just takes a tad longer.

Ps4 is 60 miles away so not at the mo might try Monday before the reset, although trying to get people running the nf after Tuesday can be a bit tricky sometimes.

Might do it with you, haven't been on Destiny since before I went to Budapest.

I can do it Monday as well, been away most of the week so didn't get a chance yet

How do stats work in Destiny? According to the game and DIM my stat spread on my Hunter is:

Mobility: 5
Resistence: 6
Recovery: 4.

But if I add up the stats on the armor itself it should be higher than that.

Mobility: 5
Resistence: 9
Recovery: 7

Whats the disparity between the armor stats and the overall stats? I have a Resistance mod and a Recovery mod on the armor, but surely everything should be getting reported? Looks like the stats on the Warlock are matching up.

AdamD

My hunters a 5-4-4 so no idea how you'd be getting 5-9-7

My titan is like 5-7-4 i think but some stats can go way up from what I have seen because of the mods etc.

Doctor Jimbob

Recovery Hunter boots are apparently bugged so you don't actually get any recovery from them.

9 resiliance seems way off though

Mitch Connor

I know the numbers seem like they are way too high for what should be available, but they are the numbers reported by both DIM and the Companion App.

Mobility Resistance Recovery
Helmet AA1 RoadComplex 1 2 2
Arms AA1 RoadComplex 1 2 2
Chest Raiden Flux 2 2 2
Legs AA1 RoadComplex 1 3 1

Helmet has Impact Absorbsion mod and the Boots have a Self-Repairing mod.

Mitch Connor

It must be the numbers being reported on DIM and Gear Manager are simply incorrect.

I checked Raiden Flux online and it says the stats start with Mobility 2, Resistance 2 - with the option to increase Resistance or Recovery - neither of those options should result in a 2-2-2 spread. Might be a similar issue on other pieces.

Doctor Jimbob

Is that maybe the total stats on each piece of gear before you pick between say resiliance and recovery?

Mitch Connor

I dunno.

The Warlock and Titan builds match between what the armor says in DIM and GM when I look at them, and the overall stats reported by DIM too.

So its only the Hunter where the numbers aren't adding up.

I would guess it is a bug in the display on DIM and GM because the stat spread I have (overall) looks like a viable number for a Hunter, adding the armor numbers up seems way too high, even with mods.

Tazzimus

Do you lads put much stock in the mobility stat?

I tend to have it at 0 for the Warlock and Titan, doesn't seem to do a whole lot.
I think the gear I use for running the raid is something like
Warlock: 0-4-10
Titan: 0-7-6

None at all. Walking and strafe speed aint a big thing. Even in the dogs section i'm not thinking "IF ONLY I COULD HAVE WALKED QUICKER".

AdamD

Think strafe speed is a little overlooked in PvP, pretty important in 1v1s. I'd still get 4 resilience and put most of the rest into recovery where possible.

AbusesToilets

Scandalous that the weakest class in the game can't roll for high recovery or resilience. Hunters getting the shaft as usual. Had a great tether the other day in PvP. Right in front of a Striker in his super, did absolutely nothing. Slammed right on thru it, killing me. Love it.

Can't use it as a shutdown super unfortunately - has to be a trap and even then it may not work.

Wonda-Boy

There is no way I would be running any char. with zero mobility especially in pvp you would be a sitting fat duck. I usually have it on at least 2 for pve and 4 for pvp with most points going into recovery as apparently its the only stat actually working at the moment....unless the last few patches have fixed it.

to be honest I cant see why any hunter is running anything other than golden gun

Wonda-Boy

Thats because you are a noob.

I run void shadow walker as I am not a selfish hunter fook and am more of a team player then 99% of the self centred swines who play the class......

"Ohhh look 250 million kajillian damage on calus, I am a legend with my celestial nighthawk hunter"


LMFAO

You know who you are!!!!
