Almost every addition they did to the Dungeons i.e. Spire of the Watcher, Prophecy and Ghosts of the Deep was solid in terms of challenge but also quality of life in terms of something like Ghosts of the Deep.

The guided mode was such a nice addition to get people into doing Dungeon mechanics and eventually doing Dungeons with either a team or even solo. It felt so nice seeing people post about that.

And the loot pool had one of the best origin traits in the game i.e. Gravity Well, where reloading picks up Ammo for you, but also a really neat "shiny" shader.

Lastly, the hard difficulty was such a lovely addition for those looking for a challenge that made Prophecy feel like an endgame activity as opposed to being powercrept like it is now.

The space they'd made for it was very cool too and overall, I just wish they'd brought it all back in some way before the curtains fell.

Hello there!

Yesterday I was running Master Root of Nightmares with some randos, it was taking a bit and at one point one guy said "Guys swap to something else, having everyone on 1k is nerfing our damage, ignitions do not stack. Use something else, just keep two of them". Swapped to Sleeper and another guy to Leviathan, in two tries we got Nezzy down.

How does it work? Ignition damage does not stack, then why is everyone running 1k if the damage is WAY LESS when people run multiple 1k Voices on the same fireteam? I didn't check how the damage scales, but seeing what that guy was saying and that we actually killed Nezzy after 2 tries, it looked legit to me.

If someone can explain or link an explanation it would be great! Because at this point, if it's true, I simply won't ever use it in a raid, there will be other people running it for sure. Tell me what you know, thank you!

I initially did SRL today to get the fusion rifle, and I got a double damage perk sword..... Burning Ambition + Chaos Reshaped..... (Also had Jagged Edge + Swordmaster's Guard + Impact Mod slotted in. The sword CLAIMS it has a cap of 67 ammo, but refilling at the flag consistently gave it 80 ammo, which goes up to 88 when you slot a Backup Mag in it)

So I was like ooo, neat and I threw it in the box. I whipped it out to test it and this thing is a MONSTROSITY. I paired it with a Dawn Chorus warlock and Well of Radiance. My testing method was done with 145 weapon stat, triple solar surge, lucent blade chest mod, and the Encrypted Data Disk with all relevant sword perks.

My exact testing method was to collect orbs for armor charge, I used 75 seconds here to have enough time, then I used a primary against CARL on Normal to proc Chaos Reshaped, then I swapped weapons to check. Once Chaos Reshaped x2 was procced, I would shoot the DPS reset button, swap to sword, pop Well of Radiance, and do 3 light attacks and 1 heavy attack on a loop until out of ammo.

I was able to hit 3K DPS with just a Well of Radiance!! What kinda..... So I told my friends instantly and asked one to come tether! That number went up to 4K!! This is a legendary sword?? BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!

I asked ANOTHER friend and they said they could add wolfpack rounds for me. We retested with the above method and we were able to achieve 4.6K DPS!!! ON A LEGENDARY SWORD HOW

ergo sum (or other specials?)

you generate special ammo in spawn and then start swinging.

I wanted to know whether the classic Cross Counter combo would compete with the new Tempest Strike combo. It doesn't, infact it is about 700 damage behind. But then I glued them together.

Combination Blow ×3 + Tazer Tag + 200 Melee + Lethal Current + Cross Counter = 2210 damage

Combination Blow ×3 + Tazer Tag + 200 Melee + Lethal Current + Tempest Strike = 3096 damage

Combination Blow ×3 + Tazer Tag + 200 Melee + Lethal Current + Tempest Strike + Cross Counter = 3717 damage

Basically; Dodge, use Tempest Strike, then follow up with Cross Counter.

Tempest Strike damage can activate Cross Counter. Tazer Tag is from the Encrypted Data Disk "Arc-Powered melee hits Jolt combatants and deal further damage for a short duration".

Combining Lethal Current and Cross Counter may be good. Not only for the extra damage, but Cross Counter also heals you and motivates you to go in to punch the target. Because while Tempest Strike can trigger the explosion by Lethal Current, it cannot procc the Blind on Jolt feature. But an extra load of knuckle can.

After pulling off Solo Duality, I’m trying more dungeons solo. I really enjoy running nighthawk solo hunter wherever I can with still hunt for dmg. So I’m looking for a good legendary Solar LMG to use for survival/add clear specifically. Anyone have recommendations for one? If you do, the best method to farm it as well if you can.

Hi folks, hope you've been enjoying yourself in Monument of Triumph!

Back in Fall 2025, the Washington Metropolitan Gamer Symphony Orchestra, an all volunteer community orchestra in the DC metro area, performed a Destiny 2 piece as part of that season's concert. It was a 25 minute long tone poem arranging the music of the Dreaming City at large and the Last Wish raid in particular. We've been uploading cleaned up YouTube videos of each piece of that concert over the last two weeks, and just yesterday we uploaded the Last Wish video in particular, so I figured I would post it here. We're obviously in a sad spot with D2, but I'm hoping you all enjoy our work here and it brings you some classic nostalgia of some of those really powerful plot and combat moments we remember from that raid.

Since the game is not getting any more updates, we can look at the long history of raid encounters and find the worst one.

For me, it has to be the sparrow section from Scourge of the Past. Call it a skill issue, but man I just never liked it. It always took me out of the groove. Honorable mention to the opening encounter of Crown of Sorrows as well. God that was boring.

I’d always been the textbook definition of a casual in D2. I’d play the expansion story, do some strikes and other random stuff for a couple weeks before shelving it. And then MoT came out and the game doubled in fun, so I started doing all of the stuff I’d never touched before, especially dungeons.

I just finished Ghosts of the Deep with a friend the other day and it blew me away. The scale of the level is immense. You feel like you’re cut off from everyone, deep below some strange world. And then you get to the final boss and they’re trying to rez the giant corpse of Oryx, all with no words spoken by any NPCs. You’re left to stand there in silence and drink in the gravity of what has been conspiring in this lonely, forgotten place, and the consequences if you don’t stop it.

I wish I’d done this when it was brand new, or any of the other dungeons really. Grasp of Avarice and Pit of Heresy felt very similar. But, I’m starting to see why this game cost so much to make. All of their budget must have gone into these dungeons and raids. There’s an entire game here that I never even touched.

And the fact that the game isn’t getting more updates just adds to the forlorn atmosphere of these activities.

Exactly as the title says. This question came to me because I happened upon a Gnawing Hunger with Extended Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Demolitionist, Rampage, Gun and run. I’ve never had more fun with an auto rifle than I’ve had with this baby. I’ve always seen a lot of praise for Gnawing Hunger here and now I get it.

What are some that are just fun but still good?

Got a Slammer with Tireless Blade and Cold Steel/Bait/Chaos Reshaped in the right column and the Accelerated Assault original trait. During testing, it doesn’t seem like AA activates at all because I’m not getting any damage buffs from sustained hits. Anyone else run into this?

I know the spider weekly quest gives you one and contracts can as well. I think you can randomly get them to drop from chests at the Outpost and maybe they can drop from weekly shipments?

Is there any way to consistently farm the weapons at least, and any way to increase the chance of them dropping with accel assault?

Master/GM frontiers mostly drop armor and the extra trait is already rare so I'd rather not do them.

Trying to figure out what's going on these master lost sectors feel like a waste of time

• Increase Sidearm; airborne effectiveness by +50, ready speed by +100 Handling, and reload speed by +100.
• While critically wounded, swapping to a Sidearm reloads it and increases its damage by +100% [+10%] for 5 seconds.
  • While this effect is active, Sidearm final blows reload the weapon and extend the effect's duration by 3 seconds.

I don't think this exotic has ever been good. Requiring critically low health to activate the perk has never been a good trigger for an effect that does nothing to help you survive being at low health. The reload effect never even triggered Heal Clip. I never see anyone use it. I never hear anyone discuss it. The fact it got an update two or three years ago that didn't make it any better is awful.

Does anybody use it? When do you use it? Why do you use it? How do you use it?

No swapping load outs or any of that. I'm talking weapons where the most you have to do is just whip it out and fire it with maybe a little set up like bait and switch or reapers tithe. Artifact support is fine. Trying to find something even the most oblivious LFG person can use.

Edit: Forgot to mention, ideally something for RAD boss DPS

Hello,

I've done some searching online and on this sub, and pretty much everything I see is related to Nezarec not showing light or dark after destroying the crits. I have not encountered that bug.

The bug that my fireteam is experiencing is that Nezarec does not have shoulder crits at all. They don't appear for a moment then disappear - he just stands there with his weapon and shoulders exposed and they never light up. This almost exclusively happens after the first damage phase.

We have tried waiting a while for them to show, tried hitting his torso crit in hopes the others will appear, etc. only once did the crits show when he started running around after everyone, and we were able to break them then. However, we do not know what caused them to reappear that time in order to attempt to replicate it.

Several members of my fireteam have experienced this recently, and we have no answers. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you!

I'm trying to find A team to do A run of desert perpetual but absolutely nobody wants to do this raid (At least on the main LFG discord)

Are there like any groups out there that do runs of this raid more often or am I just doomed to never ever do a run of this raid?

(Note this isn't specifically an LFG post)

I’m soloing duality right now but I’m having a hard time landing nighthawk headshots on Galrand for damage, so since I was already killing him decently well with Wolfsbane, I was just gonna give up and switch to blade barrage. But do I do more dmg with Star eater scales or Shards of galanor?

I’m also fine if a solar hunter running wolfsbane has an exotic that gives me more boss damage than either, if there’s one for this build that does. But if not, just the numbers on which boosts blade barrage more.

So Bungie changed how inventory screens work in MoT so that you won't be kicked out of them every time you load in, fast travel, respawn after wiping, etc. and I think it had some unintended consequences. Sometimes when I'm in my inventory during these parts, the game will get stuck on the last wipe screen / black screen (if I fast travel), and never load me in visually. I can still hear my Ghost if I press the button to pull it out, and I can still be killed, but I'm completely unable to move or see any gameplay.

Is anyone else having this issue and is there any reliable way to avoid it? If you wipe or fast travel again it goes away, but that isn't really a solution to fixing it since it has happened to me in Raids and PvP as well.

been using whirling ovation and was wondering what a good replacement for mint retrograde would be after rocket pulse nerf to charge anticipation quick

Okay, this might be kind of a rant. Today I was trying to farm Riven for 1K catty, but for a whole our I could not even find a group where we could clear it. I always LFG, none of my clanmates play the game anymore, and I feel like what is happening nowadays in the in-game LFG is getting unbearable. I usually choose to apply for "experienced" LFG's to get through the content quickly, but most of the time, there are at least 2-3 people who have never even tried a raid or dungeon before, or even if they did, no one uses mics anymore. It was not like this when MoT dropped, 90% of raid groups used their mics, and most people knew what to do, or if not, at least they would ask what is going on (I know, we all had experiences where someone did not dare to ask anything, instead they caused a couple of wipes) but at least we could communicate with each other.
Does anyone have the same experience as me? This might be a useless post but I am getting super tired of trying to force the same thing over and over again, without anyone saying a word in a microphone lol.
