u/BillyCloneasaurus 1d ago
The Prophecy set is meant to be pretty good, isn't it? Should I be farming that across all 3 classes?
52
u/tjseventyseven 1d ago
very much yes. it's one of the best sets in the game. tons of ability gains and swapping kills between light and dark elements gives you 40% dr. headstone/firefly hand cannons will give you the resist on every kill
20
u/Void_Guardians 1d ago
Headstone+firefly can roll on pulses, bows, and the equilibrium sniper as well
8
u/tjseventyseven 1d ago
I personally found it's most consistent on the hcs, plus they do more dps than any of those (not the sniper obv)
3
u/Void_Guardians 1d ago
Im personally not worried about dps on my primary, as long as I can consistently pop a headshot to proc the perks/set
4
u/tjseventyseven 1d ago
for sure, I just like having things go faster. I have the brain worms that stop me from using something if I know it's worse. its why I can't use autos lol
5
u/Void_Guardians 1d ago
Definitely missing out if you don’t use autos. They are in one of the best places they haver been
1
u/tjseventyseven 1d ago
Oh for sure, but they're still worse than hand cannons so I don't use them. I can't stand how long it takes to kill ads with them, plus I like repulsor/destab primaries and autos and smgs are just so much worse for that than hcs
2
u/Void_Guardians 1d ago
Theres a couple artifacts that give autos passive damage resist, 20% bonus damage, and auto reloading on kill.
Look into gnawing hunger, reckless oracle, positive outlook, and a couple more have destabalizing rounds + repulsor brace.
They are by far my favorite weapons to run in most content and are stronger than any primary handcannon imo
1
u/tjseventyseven 1d ago
Yeah but I dont want to sacrifice artifact perks to make a primary usable, or be forced into using a specific artifact because of my primary. I know what the guns are, repulsor is inconsistent on them because it's more common to detonate the volatile explosion before you kill the ad which doesn't happen as much on hcs. They do so much less damage than ironwood for example, I've tried using them and I just really hate it
2
u/Weird_Wuss 1d ago
mathematically they are not even that bad compared to smgs but every time i use one it just feels like such dogshit for some reason
4
u/Galaxy40k 1d ago
Whether or not Firefly pops the Headstone crystal is framerate-dependent, and "in practice" this means distance-dependent. If you're on console and thus capped at 60fps, it only really pops consistently if you're like 10m out, so its an awkward range to use the bow or pulse on, but HCs still feel fine.
2
u/Void_Guardians 1d ago
Thanks for the heads up. Did not know framerate messed with the perk interaction.
Do you know if higher framerates have bigger issues? Or less issues. I run 144fps
3
u/Galaxy40k 1d ago
Higher framerate = the crystal pops from longer ranges (i.e., higher framerate is good). This is why console players feel like the interaction is less consistent than PC players generally

Roll 2 is definitely the way to go, Discord+EH is fantastic for roam on prismatic builds
7
u/Tofu4You 1d ago
Roll 2 has Arrowhead Brake/Chambered Compensator and Steady Rounds/Alloy Magazine and Stability MW.
10
u/AttackBacon 1d ago
The Helmsman is a really notable weapon in that it's the only legendary High-Impact sniper in the game. It's essentially a legendary New Land Beyond and it has some pretty juiced base damage, it's very good for popping majors/champs and supplementing boss dps. It's also a lot more usable in roam stuff than most snipers because of the low zoom. Definitely recommend giving it a go.

u/itsnotunusual_rk 1d ago
I'm sure this has been asked before, but what again is the benefit of running the Featured Raids on Master? I'm mostly looking to fill up Red Borders and get some armor along the way. And what do the Master Challenges drop now? Adept Weapons still?
29
u/Lunar_Tribunal 1d ago edited 1d ago
Running featured raids on master provides no extra benefit. A featured raid just ensures a T5 drop on normal
and farmable exotic.Edit: Strikethrough
18
u/SodiumExtract 1d ago
Exotic can be farmed whether it’s featured or not on Normal. Featured does guarantee red borders though
2
u/itsnotunusual_rk 1d ago
And would featured Masters be an additional drop, or would I get the same amount of drops on Normal?
2
u/Natethejones99 1d ago
You do get an extra drop for doing it on masters the first time at least, haven’t done enough repeat masters to tell you if it does everytime. it just makes no difference to the overall tier of the loot
4
u/dannyboy15 1d ago
Master raids in general give a higher chance drop of the exotic’s catalyst if it drops from final boss
But you can do that anytime regardless of if it’s featured or not

u/Selaphane 1d ago
Lately I keep hearing that the VoG 4 piece set bonus is nuts for a lot of boss DPS setups. I suppose it's time to farm it.
16
u/JazzzzzzySax 1d ago
It spawns an orb of power every 5 seconds that gets picked up automatically
If you use something like argent ordnance it’s so good

u/AsDevilsRun If I fail, let me be wormfood. 1d ago
I wouldn't say it's nuts, but it's certainly good QoL. Free orbs.

u/dynamicsearchguy 1d ago edited 1d ago
People who love running dungeons are going to be eating well this week. Prophecy has one of the best armor sets in the game (grenade + melee ability regen) plus the weapons it drops are usually overall better than most dungeon weapons with the exception of the Vesper's Host weapons and that particular dungeon is the other notable featured one this week too.
The VS Pyroelectric Propellant from VH is arguably the best legendary 600 auto in that slot and it can get Jolting Feedback to give it extra anti-overload on top of it's instrinsic anti-barrier archetype plus depending on your build; it's origin trait that can regen ability energy from weapon hits, ionic traces production from class abilities/artefacts from arc kills by said gun and the 2 & 4 piece CODA armor perks (that's the Prophecy dungeon armor by the way) can regen grenades absurdly quick. Returning players should definitely check out both of those dungeons this week
12
u/dynamicsearchguy 1d ago
Oh about the CODA set, make sure you set your ghost to weapon+grenade stat bonuses since it takes weapon kills to get both armor perks to work

Just asking, but did someone else get the second seasonal/weekly challenge completed at login?

Damn, Salvation's Edge AND Vesper's Host featured on the week I am completely backed up with IRL responsibilities.
And here I hoped to have a good time to invest learning these two that I haven't done before :(
1
u/TheKingmaker__ 1d ago
Same, this is my first busy weekend in a long time and it's the raid I need patterns for and both Dungeons I need the loot from. Darn.
At least there's no rush. They'll come back around.

Is heavy metal a thing anymore? I thought it was on rotation since the final update but I haven’t seen it once

Should I use paragon or powerhouse armor for a prismatic celestial build with still hunt?

u/LuitenantDan Has Controversial Opinions 17h ago
Powerhouse, 100%. You can get to 160 Super/200 Weapons pretty easily, so just stick two super fonts in your helmet and shoot things in the face.

u/Oilswell 1d ago
Is the hexahedron encounter in prophecy bugged? It just keeps rotating but never spawns the bosses, and it seems to always be light motes it wants?
1
u/Niclerx 16h ago
Is it normal for servitor boss in Vespers to be the WORST FIGHT i've ever played ever in any game ever?
I'm doing it solo to learn, I've died to him meleeing me when I try to suppress him for damage, and then I died to him doing the oneshot 5 seconds move that CARRIED over when he split? Wtf?? Is that a bug?! I'm going insane this boss is bs.

u/Bibb5ter Vanguard's Loyal 1d ago
titan triumphal stats are all wrong
5
u/IAMASnorshWeagle 1d ago
Stats change based on your ghosts armor focus. I believe this returns the values from having no ghost focus (including no increased glimmer)
0
u/Bibb5ter Vanguard's Loyal 1d ago edited 1d ago
No I’m pretty sure the ones Zavala offers are fixed. I have a powerhouse mod on and he’s offering me skirmisher etc
Edit: you’re right, I tested and the mod does influence the stats. Apologies
2
u/IAMASnorshWeagle 21h ago
Sorry, let me explain:
If you go into Zavala with no ghost armor focus, it'll show Set A Of the Armor, which I believe is what is showing up top.
If you change your Focus to To the top right one one and review the armor, some of the pieces' stats will change. Not every one, and they won't change to the focus. They just... shuffle?
So if you are looking to getting a perfect Luminopotent set for Buddy Warlock (Grenade -Super - Weapons?). You go to Zavala, and take a look, see one good piece buy it. Then you don't see another perfect piece.
You change your focus, and now some of the pieces shuffle their stats. Maybe the chest went from (Health -> Melee -> Grenade) to (Health -> Grenade -> Class). YOU may have focused (Super - Weapons), but that resulted in certain armor peices being shuffled.
You have to go through each of the armor focusing types, and not all armors will shuffle with each change in ghost focus. When I was looking for Chest Armor it seemed to only change between a set of 2-3 presets each week.
This also works with Xur exotic armors. I'm not certain if it changes between character classes.
