Might as well have just left a brick in the middle of the arena :pac:

That's right, I can't remember what light level I was but the Thralls bars were coming up as red for me. Was taking almost a full clip of an AR to kill them.

Does anyone remember the website that would search through your inventory and give you a list of tier 12 items?

Destiny Item Manager does it - its one of the settings, shows you percentage wise what rating the item is.

There is also a loadout builder - shows you which items to equip to get 552, or whatever combinations are possible.

That's the website I was thinking of but as it happens - it only goes on the items you have equipped at the moment, it doesn't view items in your vault.

DIM does indeed view items in your vault and you can select perks that you want to keep.

That feature will be disabled on rise of iron day, as they don't know what the stat maxes will be. Armor grading in general is getting disabled. They hope it won't be gone for long but until their calculations are dependable, it'll be gone.

I really wish they would introduce a kiosk for gear sets. That way I wouldn't have to keep all of my IB stuff in the vault, same for the Vault of Glass etc. No reason they couldn't do that.

Rebuy the roll you had? (memory issues imo)

Rebuy a standard roll? (ok, but boring/useless)

Rebuy a random roll? (basically reforming. Not a route a see them going.)

SolvableKnave · 05-09-2016 5:48pm

Rebuy a standard roll and allow reroll with Glass Needles, as it is with Exotics.

The only ones with variable rolls are the IB gear. They should have left that as the unique set able to be rerolled imo. Made them special and above the common stuff peddled by the other vendors.

Raid gear would easy enough to do.

A crap roll of a great weapon = s*** weapon

runawaybishop · 29-09-2016 10:53am

So I had a hopscotch pilgrim drop, am I right in that this archetype was buffed recently?

I did love running mercy previously, 3rd eye is just a nice QoL perk, but pilgrim seems to have the better rolls. Which is better do ye think.

Pilgrim:
rangefinder;
spray and play;
lightweight, hand-laid stock, injection mold;
red dot-ors, focus lens fls2, sureshot is.

Nirwens mercy:
outlaw;
3rd Eye;
perfect balance, braced frame, injection mold;
red dot-oas, ranged lens rlr5, truesight is

PhlegmyMoses · 29-09-2016 10:55am

With those archetypes, stability > all. Think the Hopscotch wins looking at those rolls.

Mickeroo · 29-09-2016 10:56am

I was always using Nirwen's before then I got a hopscotch to drop in crucible last week. Find the hopscotch a lot better because of the range (think mine has rifled barrel which buffs the range above nirwen's).

Both guns are very good in crucible at the moment from my experience.

PetKing · 05-10-2016 10:02pm

2 Hopscotch's for review, need help!

1: Red Dot ORS, Ranged Lens RLR5, QuickDraw IS
Counterbalance, perfect balance, spray & play

2: Red Dot OAS, Focus Lens FLS2, QuickDraw IS
Counterbalance, perfect balance, glass half full

I would go with the first one - glass half full, as far as I am aware, makes no actual difference to the real world damage of the gun, in that you still need to land the same amount of shots to kill someone. The numbers are (maybe) 1 higher, but it doesn't make a difference to time to kill. So a faster reload speed is better, imo - even if you don't really want to be in a position where you have ran out of bullets and NEED to reload double quick!

Generic Dreadhead · 13-10-2016 12:22pm

Why are people farming for PvP shotguns like the Matador when the Last-Ditch 001 has the same (if not better) base stats and comes with Rangefinder and Hammerforged?

Can the Matador roll will with both those perks and something else shotgun related I'm missing?

Going to try give shotguns a go in PvP again

gimli2112 · 13-10-2016 12:36pm

Watching youtuber MTASHED today saying voidwalker is the best character for shotguns, while tipping hat to striker and Stormcaller (for punch). you should be right at home.
Can't get over how good the last ditch is. Got one with better range stats than the DO guy and love it.

I picked up a very good Matador last night which is practically identical to my Last Ditch but with maybe 3/4% extra impact. Hardly noticeable.

I got a matador to drop with rifled barrel & range finder which leaves it with more range and impact than the Last ditch. It was one of the earliest drops I got in RoI so I have been using that as my main PvP shotgun and it seems to get the job done.

Generic Dreadhead · 13-10-2016 12:48pm

So is it cause Rifled Barrel > Hamer Forged?

nevelator · 13-10-2016 12:54pm

Cormac... wrote: »

I think Rifled Barrel gives move range. On my Matador that perk column has Hammer-forged, Rifled barrel or Small bore.

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 13-10-2016 1:16pm

I thought Matador has the best range - but the range is limited on all shotguns? So essentially the Matador goes over that limit and hits the range cap.

So the Matador and Last Ditch actually have the same range, despite the range values on the Matador being better.

Edit: Range cap data: https://www.reddit.com/r/CruciblePlaybook/comments/39f4u2/what_exactly_is_the_shotgun_range_cap/

You'll want 1 of each damage type for PvE exploits

dudeeile · 28-03-2017 9:42am

Now to the much more serious selections.

The first thing I check on a new sniper is the sight, if it doesn't have ShortGaze SLH10 then it gets dismantled, I make an exception for those that do not come with sight options.

Ya don't really need EX MACHINA, the extra damage to fallen is nice but it just isn't needed for WotM.
Event Horizon is a keeper.
Efrideet's Spear had its day, goodbye.
Black Hammer, I'm sorry I dismantled mine, you would only be using on old raids.
But Not Forgotten, looks good but shard.
Her Benevolence, lucky you, she's a keeper.
1000Y and Longbows x 3, these are practically the same but the Longbow has higher aim assist I think. Hold 1k and the second Longbow.
Stillpiercer, I never got the hang of this, if it was useable by all characters I'd say keep it, alas it's not.
Praedyth's Revenge, it's pretty **** really but I did learn to snipe with it just because of it's easy 2 tap, this has been surpassed by Glass Promontary and Weyloran's March.
Seventh Sense, never heard of it.

Generic Dreadhead · 28-03-2017 11:33am

Perfect, thank you. Will follow that advice so

Got most of the Hand Cannons, Pulses, Swords, Rocket Launchers and Auto Rifles done

Just Shotguns, Scouts and Sidearms left to really put under a microscope
