Managed to get a full FWC set for my Hunter for the recovery stat. However, despite saying recovery on my boots there's no actual recovery stat point given, just mobility and resilience..sooo ok I guess I grind for it, finally get it, and it doesn't even work as advertised.
It's a bug for all recovery boots, and I'm pretty sure Bungie has acknowledged it.

I'm trying to get that set for my Hunter too. Is Recovery or Resilience better for PVP?

I love D2 on PC and can't imagine ever going back to consoles, but doing the campaign for the 5th time is sucking out my soul. There's probably someone with 9 characters out there laughing at me.

Edit: laughing because they've gone insane of course.

My opinion Recovery is just all around better for everything. To me, having Resilience may afford you taking an extra hit but the proportion of single engagement vs team engagement is so skewed towards team that I think you'd have a better chance to survive by running away and recovering faster more often than not.

So happy I got the Guiding Star last night. It's a beast of an AR in PvP, and works great with Actium War Rig.

Tempted to give it to my Warlock, though, instead of leaving it on my Titan.

I can't get legendary engrams above 276 to drop. I don't know what I am supposed to do to get to 285. I've modded everything but my boots, and tried to create four mods and none of them were for boots. And even then, at 285, will the engrams still be 276? This grind is for real.

As far as challenges go, I've done them all aside from the raid.

You've got a point, since I plan on playing defensively with my Nightstalker Way of the Trapper. Going to be my troll build.

Finished the raid and went from 294 to 295. I have no idea how long it's supposed to take to hit 305.
As long as you keep doing the weekly milestones, you'll reach 305 without too much trouble. The raid itself doesn't really drop a lot of gear, mostly just tokens, but be sure to grab the chests in the underbelly if possible. You're pretty much guaranteed to get at least one exotic from those chests.

I really prefer the way Xur works now.

The lasting until Tuesday instead of Sunday bit is my favorite. But as thetrin said he certainly is kinda pointless now since it is so easy to get exotics and that is all he sells, selling literally anything else I could spend my 1k+ legendary shards on would be useful.

Yea Xur really need to sell legendary weapons, not just exotics.

Yeah it's weird the staying until Tuesday reset thing just went by unannounced since the timing is so much better for people like me in Europe. Having him leave on Sunday morning in D1 rather than hanging around for the whole weekend was pretty inconvenient.

He used to sell sparrow drives and items that let you reroll gear perks. He should sell items that let you reroll sparrow perks now! I have all the exotic sparrows and none of them have instasummon. But I guess that won't happen since you can get exotic sparrows with instasummon if you buy lots of bright engrams.

The only exotic I need is Borealis and as it's PS4 exclusive Xur will never sell it.

Xur has nothing for me again...

PSA for levelling up after PL260, these are the options, in approximate order of how much they boost your level:

Exotic quest final reward (a lot higher than your average PL)
"Powerful gear" milestones (Nightfall, Crucible, Raid, Flashpoint, a lot higher than your average PL)
Exotic quest mid-quest reward (e.g. mini-tool, drang, a bit higher than your average PL)
Nightfall end chest (separate from milestone reward, 1st time weekly only, one item will be a bit higher than your PL)
Raid Castellum chest (separate from milestone reward, 1st time weekly only, one item will be a bit higher than your average PL)
Raid Callus kill (separate from milestone reward, 1st time weekly only, one item will be a bit higher than your average PL)
Raid challenge chest (I think I got an item a bit above my PL from the special "splish-splash" chest)
Prestige NF/Raid (??? maybe an extra item once per week ???)
Clan rewards (a bit higher than your average PL)
Exotic engrams (equal to your average PL when their +5 mod is ignored, so can sometimes be better than your currently slotted gear)

Remember that mods don't affect the power level of your drops/rewards. i.e. If you purple-mod everything, you'll get +5 PL but the level of your drops/rewards won't increase.

Do your weekly Milestones for powerful engrams. They'll be above your current Powerlevel.

I already have all the Titan helms, so Xur is pointless to me. The Prospector doesn't seem that good, but whatever I'll still get it. So he was a disappointment this week.

I'm pretty much stuck at 282 until the weekly reset. I'll use the rest of the week to finish up these exotic quests (Rat King and Sturm) and keep pvping for a Better Devils.

Xur stock:

Foetracer
Eye of Another World
Insurmountable Skullfort
The Prospector

It's helmet week.

You mean it's "the same helmets that have been sold before week." I wouldn't be surprised in the least if useful gear like Celestial Nighthawk, Orpheus Rig, etc aren't even currently in Xur's loot pool considering the love for everything that isn't a Hunter (I already have Celestial and Orpheus on Xbox and just Orpheus on PC).

No you didn't miss it, he has only sold it once and that was before the pc release. Time to grind those public events!

Better than running back and forth in a cave for hours at least! Sounds like Xur is a bit disappointing this week. Well, I would have been super happy if I didn't already have Foetracer.

Is the Legend of Acrius worth getting?

I grabbed Prospector, Foetracer and Skullfort... didn't have any of those yet so getting 3 things from Xur in 1 week is a good haul.
