Destiny 2: Season Of The Chosen |OT| Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal.

Bakris Stasis Hunter is great for ad clear and boss dps.
My 2 Swarm rolls seems okay. Not the worst
And got Adept Counterbalance mod. This GM is real easy.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the LFG works on Xbox for Destiny. Just farmed the nightfall for a couple hours and met some fantastic people.
Got all my GM subclasses done and now I just need to burn though all the strikes.
First time playing GM too. It was a lot of fun.

yup, Shadebinder is awesome, freezes everything except boses
Titan behemoth is so much fun to use that is my new main character for the crucible. Between the punch and the super is just a blast. I dont care about the freezing cast that was too broken
So the reward for the hardest endgame content the game has to offer is the ability to save you from a few seconds of minor inconvenience by switching mods when you get to the boss.
Yeah, adept weapons and mods are a total failure.
While I agree with the gist of your post, endgame PVE activities (sans raid) lock your loadout. So that is a handy perk without being OP.
It's just not a reward worthy of the time/effort it takes. Major spec is only like 7% extra damage anyway. Maybe if there was a second mod slot on adept weapons and the damage stacked or something.
The benefit here is utility.
If it provided a signficant boost to damage, i.e. free Rampage levels of damage, then it would become the default mod that pretty much would be needed for all end-game content.
That flies in the face of what Bungie has been trying to do with diversifying loadouts/builds via mods.
Just look at how different teams have been tackling the GMs in terms of builds and team make up.
Again, the utility of having boss spec and major spec on the same gun is awesome.
Just because they don't meet your hyper-specific case scenarios doesn't mean it's a failure.
Word, this mod is going to be great for Raids and NFs. I usually have 2 different weapons with each mod for Raids, so it's handy to not feel the need to do that anymore.
We're talking about 7% damage here and only when it locks your loadout. Your scenario is the hyper specific one.
So I just took a couple of weeks to play Demon's Souls (platinumed it too), and I just cant get myself to play destiny for more than a couple of pvp games. Battlegrounds is boring af, running presage again, while not so bad, is boring too. Now I see these gm rewards... I just find this game boring boring boring now. I mean why do I need these "rewards" when there is no real reason to use any of the new weapons over whatever we already got? It just seems to me, now more than ever, that everything can be cosmetic and it'll still have the same effect.
Am I cured?
Am I cured?
Probably? The issue, for me anyway, is when I go to play other FPS that just don't handle as well as D2. Apex is maybe the only other major AAA FPS that has movement and shooting gamefeel that comes close. (There are certainly other main-focus RPG games that do that aspect way better though.)
It's always great to take breaks though. It'll either make you appreciate what D2 does well or really speak to how tired you are of the overall experience, which seems like the case for you. It'll always be here if you want to return.
Yeah I know what you mean. A break is kinda a no brainer for me now. I'll probably never really quit destiny. Its in my blood since 2014.
The adept mod is only useful for Special or Heavy weapons (major spec/boss spec on a primary? uh)
current adept special or heavy weapons:
swarm
eye of sol
exile's curse
astral horizon
tomorrow's answer
sola's scar
besides tomorrow's answer none of these are particularly useful in high end content imo, that cant be replaced with something with much more "utility"

Random Q but do Vorpal and Boss Spec stack? If so, Big Ones Spec with a Vorpal roll (not sure if the combo exists right now) could be nice, in theory, right?
Yes, although apparently there is another workaround. I haven't looked into it yet.
Is there an accessible alternative to the smash B to escape stasis thing?
At this point I just put down my controller and give up whenever someone spams the grenade on me.

Double tap actually works now (it didn't work consistently at BL's launch but they've since fixed it), I think it's jus the overly long breakout animation that makes it feel like you have to mash the button.
Adept Big Ones would work pretty well on a Tomorrow's Answer with Lasting Impression or Eye of Sol with Vorpal Weapon. SWARM also rolls with Vorpal, though LMGs aren't great boss damage weapons (though I expect that to get buffed a little in the future).
Ohhh, so smashing the button doesn't actually make it go faster? Why would they do that...
QD roll for PVP.
Which one for pvp? i wanna use the pvp roll on my Warlock and the other on my Titan.
The Rapid hit roll may be nice for PVE but I don't like 120s in PVE.
Thanks! i want to equilibrate my Titan with my Warlock on equipment and i wasn't sure which HC i had to give to each one.
You can transfer gear easily between characters using apps like Ishtar or on your browser using Destiny Item Manager. That way you aren't 'stuck' with one weapon over another. They transfer instantly.
ended up buying beyond light deluxe. figured i'm having too much fun with the game
still a few things i need to get my head around. I also managed to grab one of those extraordinary renditions and it seems to rip through most things. What's the god PvE roll for this weapon please? Mine has overflow+multikill clip but it appears most people are talking about frenzy being the best, is this correct?

Overflow/Surplus and Frenzy/One for All/Rampage. Your preference.

Honestly, depends on what you value in a weapon.
Personally speaking, I need the extra handling quickdraw provides to make my Igneous Hammer feel satisfyingly and reliably snappy. I'm willing to be diligent about my ammo count and make sure I'm safe enough for the longer reload.
Other people I know love the extra stickiness of the RH boost and the extra reload speed it provides.
Play around with both and decide what feels best to you. There is no wrong answer between those rolls, IMO.
This is my IG, for reference: https://i.imgur.com/8kQquJd.png
Even after getting Adept Icarus, I stuck with the Adept Stability mod. I realized that I was spending more time shooting on the ground with a 120 than I was with 140s, so I felt the extra reliability was worth the loss of in-air accuracy I rarely found myself making use of.
Other players would call me crazy, because their playstyle and comfort demands that in-air accuracy. Neither I nor they are wrong. It's all about what feels best to each of us.
thanks! one last question, is there a way to target the submachine gun specifically or is it purely random
There is a way on the recaster at the helm to increase your odds for one but not guarantee it.
You can target between the SMG and the Side Arm in the recaster. The Side-Arm is also great.
However, it takes 3 hammer charges to focus. Most everybody agrees you're better off using your hammer charges to focus for just Chosen Armaments in the top row, cause it only takes 1 charge. It's just a better ROI, cause even if you don't get an SMG, you get way more weapons total, and there's a chance you get a god roll of something else while you're hunting for the SMG.

Real talk. Either. The gun is so good perks are icing. I have a dogshit roll with over 2k kills with. Would love to have any of your rolls instead.
Yeah you have been rocking bow builds for quite awhile now. Whenever you post a PvP clip I feel like I am playing the game wrong using my Auto Rifles.
i don't get it? Why does he sometimes oneshot people?
And why is this so special that he seems to swap kinda quick between guns? It's nowhere "instant".
Why do I have a hint notification glitch that never goes away on Cosmodrome only: Strikes, nightfall its fkn annoying. How do I make it go away?
It says Bounties are Focused objectives that grant XP. It's at the bottom of the screen it never goes away! It blocks 1/6 of my screen the whole fkn time!
