#destiny 2 warlock exotics

[ladyborealiswrites]

Current Warlock Exotic Armor Changes - I'll be detailing the changes I'd like to see with current Warlock exotic armor pieces, without adapting them for the proposed changes I suggested in my previous Warlock or subclass post.

Hoods) 

Aphotheosis Veil - Insatiable: Immediately regenerate health, class ability, and melee energy, and grant Devour to you and nearby allies upon casting your super; nearby allies gain Devour when you are granted Devour. When your super ends, you gain +800% melee and grenade ability regeneration, and +400% melee and grenade damage for 5 seconds. 

Astrocyte Verse - Your Blink is enhanced; you travel 25% further, have a shorter cooldown between uses, and damage and cause nearby combatants to become Volatile. Your weapons are ready quicker, and your Radar remains active as you come out of Blink. Nova Warp’s Dark Blink does not consume super energy, and gains the same effects as your Blink movement. Your weapons gain +15 Airborne Effectiveness. 

Cenotaph Mask - High Priority: Steadily reloads a portion of your held and stowed Trace Rifle’s magazine from reserves. Damaging a boss, Champion, Hive Lightbearer, mini-boss, Subjugator or Tormentor with a Trace Rifle visually marks them. When you or an ally defeats the marked target Trace Rifle ammo is generated for you, and Heavy ammo is generated for your allies; and you gain a 30% damage bonus to Trace Rifles. Your Trace Rifles gain +25 Airborne Effectiveness. 

Crown of Tempests - Conduction Tines: Defeating Jolted combatants or collecting Ionic Traces increases your Arc ability damage and range, while also extending the duration of your Arc supers.

Your Daybreak projectiles deal more damage, increase the damage of the next projectile, Scorch targets on impact, and extend the duration of Daybreak upon defeating targets. Your Solar weapons gain +20 Airborne Effectiveness. 

Eye of Another World - Cerebral Uplink: Highlights powerful combatants and Guardians in their super that you can see. You deal 15% increased damage to highlighted combatants, and gain ability energy upon damaging highlighted combatants with weapons matching your ability damage types. Defeating highlighted targets with those weapons fully recharges your ability energy. 

Fallen Sunstar - Ionic Conductor: Your Ionic Traces are enhanced; Ionic Traces have a shorter creation cooldown, have a chance to be created from Arc ability damage, move faster and grant you additional ability and super energy. Nearby allies also gain ability energy when you collect an Ionic Trace.

is this how shaders work

[thefirstknife]

Getting real sick of a certain subset of Destiny players complaining that it’s a baby game and crying to Bungie to nerf exotics and abilities when their ENTIRE POINT IS TO BE STRONG in specific ways as if they are being locked into using them.

IF YOU WANT AN EXTRA CHALLENGE STOP BEING SUCH A DPS GOBLIN AND JUST EQUIP SOMETHING THATS NOT TOP TIER META AND STOP COMPLAINING JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

MOOD. Go off.

It's incredibly annoying to me. They always use the argument of "the game should FORCE me to do things, I should not SELF-IMPOSE challenges." And like. ? I'm sorry but what? It's a video game for a big audience, it's here to be playable and accessible to the widest possible playerbase. There are plenty of ways to make the game difficult for yourself, so knock yourself out if that's your thing, but don't force others into it.

Like, I enjoy hard content, I regularly at least attempt day 1 raids, I do master raids, GMs, solo and solo flawless content and all that. But only when I want to. Sometimes I don't and I don't want to suffer in a patrol zone or struggle in a seasonal activity I'm doing for the story. The majority of the players don't want that. Designing games for the professional gamers only has NEVER been a good idea and never will be. Fifty streamers can't sustain a video game. It needs casual players who will want to come back to the game instead of feeling defeated.

One of the reasons I really enjoy helping others is because I know that casual players tend to struggle in stuff that's basic activity for me. I've seen people unable to get through a strike. I've sat for 10 minutes rezing someone who couldn't do the jump in a seasonal activity. I want those people to be able to play basic content without feeling frustrated and I want them to know that there are people out there who will help them out.

And this doesn't apply just to basic content, although it should start with that. I think all dungeons and raids and everything should be things that all players can complete. Fine, doing a master raid with all challenges should be tough, but it should be achievable with time and practice, not impossible. What a lot of these "pros" want is just completely divorced from reality.

It takes days and days of practice every time a new master raid is out for me and my team (all with thousands of hours of playtime) to get comfortable to finally finish it. We're far from casual players and it still takes a lot of time to be able to finish hard content. Making it even harder is insane to me. Like, if something is so hard that my team full of people, each with 5000+ hours of playtime and a coordinated team that's been raiding together for years now can't finish it, that means it's absolutely impossible for probably 90% of the playerbase. That's wild to me. Raids and GMs should have more people playing them. If master raids are too easy for you, Mr. I-Play-Destiny-For-A-Living, that's on you buddy. Unequip the super god tier god roll meta guns and loadouts or play something else.

And ofc, another excuse they make is "if I don't use meta, I am not going to win a raid race!" Then don't. Idk. Let me play you the tiniest violin. This affects literally nobody except a grand total of 50 people. Run your meta in day 1, and play with random shit otherwise. Play raids with all white weapons. Play without mods. Play without a HUD. Do things solo only. I don't know, make up a way to spice things up for yourself. I'm not interested in that and neither are 99% of the players out there. The game is genuinely hard enough for the majority of the players. On top of that, I am here to feel like a powerful space fantasy superhero. I am NOT here to die to dregs in patrol zones. If there's ONE thing that I know for a fact that put people off from Lightfall (as in this year of Destiny), it's the difficulty changes. They're annoying, frustrating and for some a barrier to entry more than anything else.

"What would make me want to play the Arc Subclass more?" "I got it! A BILLION ARC SOULS!" + I wanted to draw more Daito related content (since my warlock is technically sponsored) = Super + Exotic idea :>

take this with a grain of salt, because I am not a PVP person and I realized as I stared at this... yeah, do not bring in the Crucible 😂

with meme

this one:

[eventiderookery]

Dead Gods

or the Black Garden stag ornament that i desperately want to exist, complete with bigger antlers, asphodelia flowers that look like spider lilies, and weird glowing vex bits

[customdestiny]

Originally created back in October, before Season of the Wish launched with the revamped Dragon's Breath. But ignoring that, we have every exotic that has yet to be ported in Destiny 2, enjoy.

Created by @derio-g (hey look at that it's me)

[slayanyhivegodslately]

Hee hee, got Necrotic Grip tonight, and brought them into some haunted lost sectors to try them out. Totally get the hype of pairing them with Osteo running around like poisons you poisons you poisons you poisons you poisons you-

[savyir-genesizz-the-wizard]

Utilizing some exotics that aren't Ophidian Aspect

[evilroachindustrial]

Really one of those weekends with Xur where he’s selling high stat rolls on basically everything that are either just weird or great for a different class.

[doriansbutt]

Apparently I’ve done 2 raids even tho I’ve only done Last Wish once lol

Also love that my PVE kinetic and energy weapons are both exotics? I can’t wait for my beloved Zenobia-D to be usable again aaaaa

[xavathun]

guys i think i like using heritage and le monarque

[eventiderookery]

Augmented Icarus

or, the Braytech themed Wings of Sacred Dawn ornament that gives warlocks the glowing wings we deserve. inspiration was taken from the nine days/nine nights and golden days ornaments

[reposted because the first one was right as lightfall dropped and got buried under all that]

[awokennerd]

I forgot to add to my Sunbracer post that I also have a headcannon that Bubo got her Sunbracer from Ikora. Let's be real--Ikora probably has a ton of random exotic warlock armor that she hordes and does nothing with, especially all those solar/arc specific armor. Ick. Ikora is probably as bad of a hoarder as Osiris is. So I think she just gave Bubo a pair she had laying around. I have to figure out when she actually gave them to Bubo, but now they are Bubo's main exotic, though she has quite the selection that she uses frequently (Nezarec's Sin, Sunbracers, Phoenix Protocol, Lunafaction Boots, and Swarmers).

[slayanyhivegodslately]

Got all of my fits ready for The Final Shape! Went with a totally new look for my titan, tried to stay away from ornaments I've used a lot in the past.

Kind of sad, this is the first time I haven't completed all of the seasons on all of my characters. Bummed out I won't be able to see them in the cutscenes to get screencaps, but oh well.

And now that I've gotten all that I can, time to go jingle jangle my way across the Mojave until Tuesday.

[blue-lollipops-and-ice-clouds]

This is surprising to absolutely no one. (Osteos + Necrotic = Everything gets to die now to this or my child of the old gods :))

[thefirstknife]

A lot of cool stuff in the stream! Highly recommend watching it. Full image of what they call the "tone of the episode" + some stuff with the potions mechanic and artifact perks (yes, there is an artifact perk called "Armor of Eramis").

Also updates to Onslaught with new maps. They showed us Widow's Court with a lot of egregore in the fog which looks nice. Also the weapon on screen is the season pass exotic, a grenade launcher with primary ammo! A lot of stasis focus in this episode.

Onslaught is also tied to the episode, as we're not going into Pyramid ships; instead we're going into some Scorn caves rescuing Eliksni prisoners! They didn't tell us much about the episode to avoid spoilers, but basically Fikrul has the Echo and he's changing his Scorn and he needs more bodies to turn into Scorn as well, which is why we're teaming up with Mithrax and Eido (with other Eliksni also teased; so far Variks is confirmed because he had a voice line at the end of the activity shown in the stream).

Artifact preview and the voice line is from Variks!

Managed to snatch this between frames, unfortunately using superblack so it's hard to see, but it's a new Warlock exotic + helmet from Revenant so for anyone wanting to cosplay Eliksni, this episode's armour will provide.

We're also getting new earnable skimmers! They're The Nine themed and will launch with Revenant; you will need 97 strange coins to buy them from Xur. They're called.... the Xurfboard. Help. The effects are animated!

They also showed us the dungeon rewards so if anyone wants to take a crack at what the dungeon might be about based on these symbols (hoodie and bracelet kinda have different aesthetics almost?), go ahead.

One more look at Festival of the Lost sets!

They also teased some sort of old Destiny activity returning in Revenant Act 2 but that's all they said so we have no idea what they're cooking.

They did a little bit about Frontiers and Apollo and showed us two early concept art images:

It's a new location and those are brand new people we've never met, they said. They specified it's a planet. Losing my mind. There's definitely a human, probably Golden Age type rocket in the first image so I'm just eating my keyboard. A lot of changes to a lot of stuff coming for Frontiers and starting the new saga for which they were very excited about.

Some highlights from the stream! I do recomment checking it out for full details and gameplay!
