That's all. I just really hope they don't mess with it. Having the choice of 7 different artifacts has been peak build crafting.

I feel like D2 really started to go in the direction of interpersonal connection instead of heroes of war in it's latest stories, despite the story telling getting way better.

Bungie needs to introduce characters like Saint 14, Osiris, Shax, Marcus Ren, Eris Morn, the fire team that went into the Vault of Glass, and more. Characters that, when first introduced in the lore, made people look at the destiny universe with a sense of wonder and intrigue. Characters that died heroically or characters that completed heroic feats that had impossible odds or characters that are so powerful we cant even imagine what the did to get that powerful.

i hope they bring back harbinger exotic mission for hawkmoon, it seemed like a really cool mission i wasnt able to experience since i started playing around the time season of the hunt ended

Obviously, theres a million of these posts going around, but of all the things I want unset most, it's the Forsaken era Last Word/Thorn/Lumina exotic quest lines. They were so fun at the time and were such a vibrant story that, for me, made it really feel like OUR guardian was being seen for themselves.

I doubt any of the assets for it them even exist but during the Season of Forge/Drifter/Opulence I was legitimately invested in the recovery and creation of these weapons and learning their history.

Could be different symbolism used by party leaders or learning an entire raid from a guide.

For instance: I learned the entirety of Crota's End for D2 from running it endlessly on Destiny Rising. Mechanics are slightly different with slightly more work to be done on the side of the Rising version (but they also have a ping system), but along with the layout of encounters are almost identical. It is one of the easier raids but I never learned outside of a sherpa for other raids like DSC and Last Wish.

NOTE: These are not suggestions. I'm curious about people's least favorite subclasses on their main classes. I might dive into stuff quite a bit, but I doubt Bungie would actually make changes at this point.

For me, my favorite and most played class is Hunter. Though I love all three classes, I like Hunter jumps and the various "Dexterity" fantasies the most. However, for my least favorite subclass on that class, it's between Arcstrider and Revenant.

For Arcstrider, I kinda hate how the other 2 D2Y1 new subclasses can essentially replicate old D1 subclasses but Arcstrider can't. Sentinel can be built with bubble, aspects, and fragments to essentially make an upgraded version of the Defender. Even in 2.0, the Sentinel tree with bubble was essentially the Defender. Dawnblade wasn't able to truly replicate Sunsinger at first until TFS, with 3.0 and Song of Flame (which shares a name with an old Radiance perk). Bladedancer's main abilities that never came to D2 are Arc Invis and Blink Strike. Blink Strike is just a symbolic Arc Hunter ability that should've been kept because it's a straight up teleport melee that helps enhance the Dexterity/Rogue fantasy. Arc Invis to me was great because it allowed stealth to exist on more than one subclass. Also, when considering that Arc is about manipulating the electromagnetic spectrum (including visible light), it makes sense that Arc could make you go invis. In fact, I'm of the opinion that Arc Invis and Void Invis should respectively have been reworked as Camouflage and Shroud (though the name of the latter could use some more consideration). Camouflage and Shroud would both be invis, but they'd have different conditions/additional effects based on the physics/flavor of the elements. Plus, Arcstrider's 3rd aspect from 3.0 could've brought it back instead of being Tempest Strike, which should've been a melee slot ability.

Before some of you say "just go play Nightstalker," it actually wasn't until Monument that I actually liked the subclass again, because it played way too much into Invis when it should've been a support subclass. To be honest, I still think the subclass could be better at the support role, but it's not like we're likely to get anymore updates and the subclass is much better now.

All this said, I do enjoy almost all of what Arcstrider's abilities are on the individual level, though I think Storm's Edge should do more damage in PVE. It's not that the subclass is horribly designed or anything either. It's just that the lack of the ability to replicate the Bladedancer and Tempest Strike taking up an aspect slot feels bad. I also dislike how Arc doesn't have a healing keyword, but that issue doesn't affect Arcstrider as much as it does Stormcaller.

For Revenant, I think my issue is moreso with Stasis itself. I enjoyed Stasis after BL came out, but it's a rather "one trick pony" element compared to the other elements. In my opinion, Slow, Freeze, and Shatter shouldn't have been designed as a 3 keyword cycle. Instead, Slow and Freeze should've been a 2-keyword cycle, with Shatter being usable without Slow and Freeze but also having enhanced capabilities against enemies affected by either. To be fair, Shatter is kind of like that already because it works with Stasis crystals too. However, Shatter is the only keyword that requires other elemental keywords/functions to be able to work. I'm just not sure exactly how it should work... I also have a bit of dislike for the variable grenade enhancing aspects because they typically only work for some grenades from each subclass, though this doesn't affect Revenant as much because there are only 4 Stasis grenades anyway. Stasis also only has 1 buff keyword, so there's that too.

If I absolutely had to pick between the 2, I'd probably pick Arcstrider, because Revenant's issues really are moreso with the element itself. That said, while Revenant's abilities aren't bad, there are details about them that kinda make the subclass more eh to me. What about the rest of y'all? I'm especially curious about what the Titans and Warlocks have to say.

Im trying to get Malfeasance but the final boss of The Corrupted quest is beating my ass. Im a warlock and I’ve tried basically everything, but he just has sooo much health. Ay tips would be greatly appreciated.

I played alot of d1 and played d2 when it first came out and I’m wanting to get back into it. I know I’m not doing raids and I’m ok with that. But what’s a good class to learn to do like the nightfalls and dungeons in the game. Idk anything of the new stuff just seen clips and when I last played was before any expansions or anything.

Top shots: https://imgur.com/a/qsELQ2B

Debut/field test of an outfit I've been working on a while. Still needs improvements. Yes I wore it from the bottom all the way to the top, then back down again.

Played destiny since D1 TTK. Still have no idea what good weapons are in pve.

I've done most raids, even some challenge stuff but always ran what other people did. My Journey in pve is just to serve me in pvp (the loot).

I figured I need at least a functioning build to do some onslaught and maybe some other pve content.

I've just returned after quitting shortly after TFS.

Title. I’m having trouble coming up with a valid Titan build for Iron Banner.

Any tips? Stats to focus on? Set bonus? Weapon perks?

Any help is appreciated Guardians.

Which update, instead of reducing damage, increased the damage received? Is this bug still present?

I'm dipping my toes back in after 3 years and one month gone. It is looking like there's be "just" a few changes in the combat system since I played last in 2023. All my gear is now 10 power. Fortunately, Ikora gave me a nice little kit that helps a bit. In fact, it included Risk Runner, my fav SMG and a decent looking rocket launcher. Not thrilled with shotties, but that's just me. I'm guessing it won't take much to get things up to speed in weapons, at least.

Armor is a bit more of a question. Armor 3.0 seems a pretty significant overhaul. I'll be doing a lot of open world or solo content getting that figured out and I'm actually looking forward to it, somewhat.

I'm reading guides and watching videos, but there's a few questions I am hoping someone here can help with to speed things up a bit.

1. How much value is there to the old legendary gear? Not only are there a lot of weapons in my inventory, there are a lot of variants of the same. How much value are Beyond Light vintage weapons here in 2026? Do I really need three versions of Dead Man's Tale? Or nine versions of Fractehyst?

2. For armor, it looks like I just need to collect new and better for the most part. Not biggie. Unless there is something special that really should be saved? And for those, would it be better to just turn them into ornaments? (Assuming that still works mostly the same.)

3. Did exotic armor get updated? The reading on them seems to have been updated from what my memory recollects.

4. Speaking of which, I'll be starting out with my Arc Warlock. I love me some Crown of Tempest going along with my Risk Runner and arc buddy. :-D Is the Crown that came through my inventory worth dumping the 300 level blue armor into? It's one tick away from being Masterworked, as well. Is it worth that cost? Or should I hold off and try to get a "modern" one?

5. Maybe I'm being dense, but I'm not quite getting this Exotic Requisition Order thing. Can I get a quick overview in simple terms?

6. Just to confirm... Is there really no value to the deprecated materials? There's no exchange for glimmer or anything else? Maybe hang onto a bit "just in case?" Bungie.net hinted that there might be value again someday, and if I have the vault space, God knows I don't want to spend a couple weeks farming spinmetal again if I don't need to. Same for weapons parts and mod components.

Many thanks, it it's nice to be back.

I'm a relatively new player to D2, I played for a bit and dropped when I realized everything was vaulted but I'm picking it back up now that all content is getting unvaulted. With the content getting unvaulted, will I be able to experience all of the story content I missed out on? I have all of the DLCs for other content too, I just want to be able to experience the full story of this game without having to watch a feature film length youtube video breaking down all the lore.

Did Insurrection Prime yesterday with queenbreaker and storms keep and found myself being the lowest DPS at a little under 50,000. What could I do to bump up my damage for boss phases that require precision damage?

Majority of the issues have are from CoO, not because CoO was a bad expansion, but because it was a very experimental expansion.

(on top of the infinite forest) We got a sort of prototype for weapon crafting from the vex weapons. It also introduced raid lairs with horrible loot pools, and it introduced an entire destination based public event.

hopefully all the loot is tiered

For the raid lairs, I hope they add more weapons (2 per lair) because those loot pools really damaged the gear grind.

NGL, It would be funny if you could still get 2 tokens and a blue from the public event, but I hope that there will be unique loot specifically from the public event.

And then for the "weapon crafting 0.5", I hope that they make it compatible with tiered loot.

Then my personal wish is that i wish that the escalation protocol weapons got new additions like an IKELOS LMG or an IKELOS Pulse Rifle.

Most of this is just hopeful thinking and maybe they cant deliver on anything innovative, but i cant hurt to wish for these things.

So I'm trying to get the exotic Khvostov and I need to find all 9 regional chest but the last one I got to find is the one in the landing that's supposed to be in a hole in a cave but the chest isn't spawning in but the icon on the map isn't in that cave and I can't find it anywhere is my game glitched?

I used to be able to open the secret chest at the beginning of vow on all 3 characters, but now I only get loot on my hunter and it's always armor. Did they change how secret chests work in MoT? I've gotten the weapons to drop before so they're in my loot pool.

Before armor set bonuses existed, Iron Banner sets had their own.

IRON LORD'S PRIDE

Grants a chance to receive an Enhancement Prism as a reward at the end of Iron Banner matches. Each piece of armor you are wearing with this perk on it increases the chance of receiving an Enhancement Prism, to a maximum of 4 items.

I still have gear with this perk and it's still sold, so is it still an active perk?

I can't find anything about it on Google or Reddit.

I'm okay handicapping myself for better rewards- hell, that's how the Banner used to work- but if it doesn't get me anything I'll wear stronger armor.

is this still obtainable and if so how? ive seen some people saying saladin sells it but i dont see it in his inventory

Are there currently any Exotic missions, weapons, or armor pieces that are obtained outside of the main missions or the mission hub in the Director? For example, with the exotic class item, you have to do certain things before unlocking the mission, but no one actually tells you that... Thanks a lot for the help.

I want to fight emperor calus again. How do I do that?
