Weekly RANT Megathread - All complaining posts belong in this thread

Rant and complain away. Rule 1 Don't be a Jerk still applies, as does the site-wide rule of no witch hunting (naming and shaming).

Weekly TRIALS OF OSIRIS Megathread- Ask Questions About Trials HERE!

0 Upvotes

Hello Guardians,

Firstly, let me address the most frequently asked questions:

For the trials changes that went into effect on 2/14/25, check this simplified explanation https://www.reddit.com/r/CrucibleGuidebook/comments/1ipd5px/simpler_explanation_of_how_the_new_trials_changes/ or for a more detailed one https://www.reddit.com/r/CrucibleGuidebook/comments/1i7wi89/clarifying_the_new_trials_matchmaking_and_rewards/

Q: Do I choose the Lighthouse Passage or the Trials of Osiris Passage? What's the difference?
A: The Lighthouse Card rewards you for earning win streaks with no losses, and for earning 7 wins total regardless of losses. This card puts you in CBMM (not skill based, it's just random, and there is no lobby balance). The Trials of Osiris Passage tries to match you with players of a similar skill (weekly performance) and with lobby balance. While playing on this card you won't be able to get adepts or cosmetics (although you can still get ghost shells), but you are rewarded on win or loss with a similar reward structure as iron banner or quickplay.

Q: How do I earn and farm adept weapons or Tier 5 loot?
A: Adept weapons are no longer dropping with Edge of Fate. Instead, all loot is tiered. Higher tier loot has better stats and better perk options. To earn higher tier loot in Trials of Osiris, simply grind solo ops for about 100 hours and then you'll get tier 5s on win or loss as long as you participate. I wish I was joking. Earning a 7-0 flawless passage will allow you to visit the lighthouse which usually grants rewards one tier higher than your power level and guardian rank would normally allow. At 400 power and guardian rank 9, you are supposed to get a few tier 5s from the lighthouse chest, but it is sometimes bugged and will only drop loot at the normal tier (4 in this case).

After going flawless you are stuck in flawless pool with no additional reward for playing in that pool except for chances at cosmetics), and no way to reset for extra lighthouse visits. You can avoid the flawless pool by being in a fireteam with players who have an incomplete lighthouse passage.

Feel free to ask whatever other questions you need to in the comments section below!

Tips for Solo Trials / Hand cannon

• Upvotes

Def more competitive with a pulse, but I love playing HCs. I only play solo, a bit of an introvert. Currently I typically try to shadow who I think is my best teammate, try to team shoot. But as far as overall HC play, def getting better with peek shooting but I have consistent trouble with knowing when to engage, when to stay crouched and out of site. Obv a lot is based on how good my opponent is, but sometimes I can be agressive and have some great games. Sometimes I die way too fast and let my team down. But it all feels very hit or miss

Looking to hear your thoughts on just a standard gameplay strategy I can take into every match as a solo player with a HC, something I can work on, get better at. Much like the HC, I love playing shottys, but def get more kills with my sidearm. So I typically run my Rose/Forgiveness loadout.

All comments welcome, thnx

Keen Thistle is incredibly slept on

I feel like a lot of people don’t know that under pressure + opening shot turns this sniper into aim bot. 35 zoom, double accuracy perks, AND the stability from UP makes this thing handle flinch better than most snipers.

You can swap out UP for LW, but IMO UP + OS makes this sniper unique and fills a niche that other snipers don’t occupy. That being a low zoom high impact with double accuracy perks.

IMO the handling feels fine with one targeting and dexterity, but if handling is an issue, I highly recommend trying it with dragon shadow or ophidians.

Edit: tactical mag is important. It lets under pressure proc with 2 bullets in the magazine. Better than extended mag or appended because of the stat bonuses. Unless you like playing floaty warlock, then extended is really good.

Been gone since Lightfall, Weapon stats?

5 Upvotes

As the title says, I have been gone from the D2 space since Lightfall and am jumping back in. Got through all the DLC stories so far, so familiar with some of the class-change things, but weapon stats in PvP... does it make that much of a difference?

I see some builds online lean into it; some completely ignore it. I want to get into comp, so I'm trying to find comfortable builds to invest in and familiarise myself with (Usually Titan, but from the looks of PvP I may need to go to my hunter).

Also, the health stat seems to have changed; it's not as important as before now, either?

Need build advice

1 Upvotes

I'm a solid 1.0 KD. I know I'm not good enough to be much higher but I can take a grind more than most and I wanted to finally build an actual crucible loadout.

I'm using High Tyrant, invis hunter and Rat King.

Can someone give me advice on the best stats to got for this? I'm leaning health, class and then some weapons and some super?

Also how high should my health stat be?

I'm currently grinding for comp armour so any advice here is appreciated.

Question about damage buffing percentages

1 Upvotes

How are the percentages applied?

For example if i have 5 percent from weapon surge, and then get 10 percent from elemental honing, does the elemntal honing add 10 percent to 105% or is it always a percentage of base?

Great video by Northern Ranger going over two piece combos people are playing with. Part one is an explanation of how armor sets work in case you are very new. This sequel video explains how crystocrene and exodus down pair together extremely well and shows it in action. This combo is the main culprit behind why people instantly heal mid gunfight.

Vulpecula

3 Upvotes

Just wanted to throw a post out to see if there were any vulpecula users out there. Was looking for other 180s to try to mix it up from B7, and noticed that vulpecula can roll with collective action and headstone. Im sure there’s some stasis titans chomping at the bit abusing this but was curious about a stasis Barrie build with this.

Question for the Glaive enjoyers

6 Upvotes

Got wrecked in trials the other day by a guy from some glaive clan who was playing grapple-blink on hunter and decided to try the grapple blink. Ended up being really fun but now I’ve had an idea for something especially stupid and it just so happens that glaives have the exact damage profile I need for that idea specifically.

The question is do any of the proper glaive enjoyers have preferences when it comes to energy glaives for any specific reason? I plan on pairing it with an smg if that makes a difference. I’m new to glaives and have a decent amount of time to farm so I’m open to all suggestions and just want to try what people say is fun.

Does lodestar experience any TTK shifts either through the weapons stat or any other sources? Looking to make an RDM build, and unsure of what I should put together.

What are some top tier PvP weapons that can be farmed for rolls?

23 Upvotes

I want a top tier PvP weapon that I can grind for a god roll. Something that I can try for relatively consistently.

An example is the Rose hand cannon from Shaxx. (If it’s still good)

Forthcoming Deviance and Rapid-Fire Glaives

1 Upvotes

I just recently crafted forthcoming deviance, and I have been loving the snappy feel and currently running it with 190 mele on void hunter.

My question is that I see it rolls with disruption break, does enhanced disruption break allow a one projectile one stab kill without weapons stat investment? Or a reduced weapons stat?

Having a ton of fun with this and just curious if there are any other users out there!
