Duke is a FANTASTIC pairing. Don't forget Hand Cannon Dexterity boots. They help with swap speed, but they also let you fire quicker
Hmmm... try this one for other folks.

Now THIS is something that will have me using WeaponDex boots more often. I had no idea.
He means ADS speed, not fire rate, and we're talking fractions of a second here.
You eat some properly spiced food, welcome to the culinary big leagues
Oh, I figured. I'm gonna be using the Ophidian Aspects with them to to see if any of the perks stack.
Sometimes I don't understand how things work in this game. It feels like there are hidden stats like hit box size/bloom/bullet magnetism that determine how good things actually are. Like, going purely by numbers it makes no sense that Bygones is as dominant as it is. It's outpaced, outranged & outdamaged by all sorts of things.
Similarly, I'm comparing all these snipers in my inventory. I've got a god rolled Persuader which should stomp all over anything, with like 76 aim assist (after adjuster + helmet) and the range of a 90 rpm sniper. But it's just not as consistent as Sole Survivor, which is kinda mediocre on paper. Fate Cries Foul is the exact same weapon as Sole but with better stats, yet same thing there. I'm sure part of it is scope & reticle preference, but there's other sorcery going on beneath the hood, I'm sure of it.

Are you console or PC? Because I rarely see Bygones used on the PC, at least in PVP. Blast Furnace is all over the place as well as Go Figure and every once in a while Right Side of Wrong. I feel like I'm bucking the meta by using more 3 shot pulses lately with digging Nightshade and Infinite Paths 8 out of my collections tab but I'm having fun with the Lightweight weapons.
Played some D1 today for old time's sake. It's amazing how much better the game feels. Played on my Titan and was able to skate around. I found it funny that in D1 you could apply melting point with a regular punch instead of a shoulder charge like D2. Autorifles and Scout rifles actually had stability. Hand cannons actually had accuracy. This is after 3 years of nerfs, too. Checked out the random rolls in the tower. Picked up a gunsmith weapon.
How did they fuck up D2 so bad? I hope they use D1 as a base for D3. Just scrap everything from D2.

revisionist history. people just complained during d1 just like they do now, i was there.
Console. Bygones has been meta for a long time, though I think Blast Furnace has moved ahead of it.
This what's so sad about D2.
D1 allowed more personal customization. Vanguard and Crucible Bounties repped up. Petra Bounties, Variks bounties, FWC/ DO/ NM rep up
Weapon Quartermaster sold weapons.
FWC/ DO/ NM sold static roled gear, random rolls on rep up.
Blind Well only gives powerful loot on first heroic completion of the week (per char) and from the weekly bounty that you pick up from Petra.
Farming enemies can drop you Prime engrams but you're better off running the countless other milestones that reward powerful drops for the week.
If you haven't already, do the 640 PL bounties from Drifter, and then just do your weekly milestones. Some are not marked, like the Invitation to the nine from Xur, Spider's weekly wanted, etc.
So with the season of the drifter they gave the drifter bounties that people could do to quickly boost their light level to 640, do we know if the next season of content will do that, give us bounties to bring us closer to 700? I wanna be able to do the raid and whatever other new content is added, but after grinding through the same content dozens and dozens of times I'm just so done with it, it's not the grind that bugs me, but doing the same content over and over again.
D2 has some quality of life stuff and more classes, supers and abilities but maps, movement, music, models and everything else is better on D1.
Pretty crazy how downgraded the character models from D2 are in relation to 1.
They can't bring it back, technical issues that woukd take as long as the event to fix.

Apologies as it's a D1 question but not sure where else to ask. A mate and I played D1 a lot but we have another two mates who never touched it.
If they got a cheap copy of the latest version of D1, would the character boosts they get be enough to go straight into VoG?
We (very rarely) meet up in RL to play games over a weekend and I was thinking it could be a fun thing for us to bash our heads against...but would need to be raid ready after an hour or so.

Yes— the boost with the Rise of Iron bundle was enough to jump into that content so you could do base VoG, CE, and KF with only WotM and the 390 versions inaccessible.
Man, I'm really digging Arbalest in PvP. The fact that is has such a low zoom sight and better FoV surroundings makes it easier to snipe. The charging doesn't bother me since the charging is fast and I have to line up my shots anyway. I always feel linear fusion rifles should have been in the special slot instead of heavy, they are underutilised in PvP except for gambit.
They've been slowly buffing things up to D1 levels because D2 started out with 2 primary weapons that fired marshmallows and 2 century long cooldowns on everything.
You can get the orbs in any Crucible mode that isn't Competitive. Supremacy is going on right now and is a mode that is all about the team fight and I've gotten most of mine that way. I've also gotten some in Rumble but it's mostly been Supremacy and I am well over half-way done with that Triumph without even focusing on it. I should be able to finish it within the next couple of days just by playing normally. Quickplay is so chaotic that that would be the least good way to get the orbs Triumph I would think.
Thinking their microwave or toaster oven is their PlayStation.
CrudeDiatribe awesome, cheers!
Only problem is that Destiny 1 seems weirdly expensive! The discs came with codes for all the dlc so I think used copies are hard to find.

This depends entirely on the bow they're using. If it's Wish Ender, yeah, screw that noise, but Le Monarque actually works quite well. I imagine if you could do enough with it Trinity Ghoul might not be terrible, but a decent bow with a quick draw time, Rampage, Archer's tempo, hell, Dragonfly, would be fine in the right hands.
Hopefully that comes soon.
I just have little interest in Destiny PvP in general and Gambit has the least of it.
if they can't fix the guitar bug concerning orbs, then they should automatically award all Triumphs related to generating orbs during the Revelry
Lately I've been trying to get good with a Thorn + sniper load out. It's going okay but no spectacular results (though I did manage to solo a whole team in survival last night in comp).
But I went back to Jade Rabbit + Erentil & it was like "why do I ever unequip this?" Had my best match ever - 35 (30 kills) with a 5.00. Then had a 28/2.80 then a 30/3.75 game in comp.
Every video I ever watch tells me I have to be using a hand cannon to be serious. But for whatever reason, the player I am with that setup is way beyond what I get out of using anything else no matter what the meta says.

I dunno man, I'm subscribed to a bunch of sweatlords & when shit gets real the "OMG INSANE" sidearms & breach load grenade launchers are gone & everyone's a spectral rock forgotten. Or Ace/Last Word if they can put down the Wardcliffe. Basically every youtuber seems to be a hand cannon guy at heart, just because of the way accuracy & zoom affect most other weapons.
Well, sidearms and breach grenade launchers are trash, so that's your first problem. :P
I'm a hand cannon guy at heart, but they're bad weapons in D2. Use what you're comfortable with.
I've carried teams through the first stage and bridge with le monarch. One shots the sniper vandals in both bits, and the poison will take out massive gangs of thralls if you nail it right.
Map design favors short to mid range encounters which in turn favor weapons that are strong in the short to mid range. It's not that longer range weapons are bad but more they can be harder to use in certain instances. If Jade Rabbit and Erentil is working for you then no reason to switch to something that's "meta" that isn't working as well. Most weapons are balanced enough at this point that you can pretty much use what you want if you are prepared to work around some limitations.
This is why it's my go-to for a lot pf PvE activities. It's also a great way to keep track of invaders in Gambit if you proc the poison.
Dangit, I have every Revelry triumph - yes, even the ridiculous ones you have to do in Crucible - except the 50 bounty one. But I'm going away for a couple of weeks & it's just not possible to get enough bounties before then.
Discord is the place to ask here.
Finally got the Vigilance Wing catalyst a couple of nights ago after a Rumble match. Man, going to Vigilance Wing after using 540 and 450rpm 3 burst pulses feels very foreign for some reason. Back in the day I used VW a bunch but I am waaay out of sync with it right now. It feels like it has a very weird cadence after so much time with the other pulse rifles. This catalyst is going to take some time =P
Edit - Spoke to soon. Three of four games in and now VW feels like an old friend again. This thing is still really good!
