  • The long-awaited sequel to the original double special video. While not as detailed, since a lot of the old video still applies, I wanted to provide some updates on how I view double special in the current Destiny sandbox moving into The Final Shape.

    There's another reason to run double special that is worth mentioning. The main reason I use double special over an exotic primary is that it may actually be better in this situation so that I can swap to a damage loadout that is using double special, which is always better (outside of Lucky Pants). If I were using a sunshot (which is better than an indebted kindness for adclear this season) I wouldn't be able to swap to a gl/slug for damage rotations

    • @shiddygaymer
      @shiddygaymer หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      swapping weapons and load outs mid encounter is a little cheesy. the current sweat min max meta is stuffing your loadout with exotic and weapon swaps for all these specific raid encounters and dungeons and stuff. if an encounter can't be comfortably beat without constantly playing inventory simulator then it needs to be re-designed. however, realistically, i'll play devil's advocate and just say that bungie is pretty brain dead on some of this stuff. i'm sure they're aware but just don't care. the biggest problem with destiny is it has very little actual character progression so the only way to express additional skill or power is by doing these goofy things like swapping exotics to buff a super and then switching back to a utility armor or taking advantage of ridiculously obscure mechanics or hidden interactions that only people without a job tend to find. just imo.

      I’ve found it depends on the situation. Sometimes when you’re not cycling weapons as often to preserve dps ammo ammo can be a bit harder to come by. So lead from gold is another layer of protection, but you’re absolutely right that it’s not necessary by any means.

    I've since used double special a decent amount with trace rifles with shoot to loot and it feels pretty good to although that was in Onslaught, not felt like I'd been able to pull it off in other activities yet because the heavy ammo box has been the only reason I've had ammo at some points. Think I need to use some more ability focused builds but most of the time when I'm trying double special I just enjoy clearing everything with them.

    is pretty strange to see bungies constant attempts to make double special less effecient, when the whole double special thing happened because how god awful most legendary primaries are, so double special for me has been one of my favorite play styles, the style is still viable but its annoying how bungie keep s trying to nerf it when its their fault its here to begin with

    • @shiddygaymer
      @shiddygaymer หลายเดือนก่อน

      they should nerf it. double special is honestly just unnecessary power creep. it's obvious that the intended gameplay loop is primary special heavy. primary for reds, special for yellows, heavy for bosses. but i also agree that they've been extremely lackluster on trying to enforce this. i doubt most of the developers and play testers run double special very often or honestly ever.

    When I'm on Stasis Warlock, I near exclusively use Appetence, Buried Bloodline, and Dimensional Hypotrochoid. BB does solid damage against majors and the weaken helps a ton against bosses. The Devour buff plus Demo and Headstone (Whisper of Shards) on Appetence means I get tons of grenade energy for Stasis Turrets that help with CC and ad clear. DH has enhanced Field Prep and Chain reaction so it has tons of reserves, great ad clear, and high ammo efficiency (though for floating/mobile bosses I tend to use Typhon GL5). Can't recommend it enough.
    [Oh and the few times I play Hunter, i like to use Incisor, BB, and Hammerhead on Strand. I know more people have been talking about it recently but the Moth exotic + Thread of Ascent + Devour means I can hold onto Hammerhead's Rampage + Killing Tally buff for longer. Primarily for ad clear but still does good damage against bosses then BB hits hard and Incisor has good utility]

    • @life-destiny1196
      @life-destiny1196 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Y'know, I didn't quite appreciate Buried Bloodline because it took me so long to get my hands on it, but it makes Broodweaver in particular incredibly silly. You throw on Weaver's Trance and snipe red bars and suspending explosions are everywhere and Devour gives you the grenade back to do it again while also giving you survivability that isn't tied to Woven Mail or standing in a rift. We also just got the deets on the new exotic armors, and the Arcane Needle one is way better than the trailer made it look, so that's likely a natural pairing (I actually was using Nezarec's Sin just to double down on the ability regen angle, but it's not all that strong in the absolute sense, so I've been thinking about what else might be good).
      Throw in KT Supremacy and Edge Transit and you've got something cooking!

  • @fireheartclan

    Honestly, in a way glad to see the lines of different weapons blending more.
    Since it opens up more play styles and creativity. While also not throwing a specific “meta” that everyone “should run, or they will not be as effective as ones who do.”
    Like, there are weapons that do better then others for some things, always will be. But, as an example. I’ve done most of pantheon levels that require some ad clearing with Adhortive. Since that pulse rifle does decent damage and has good range. While also being able to run with heal clip to keep you alive and bring up solar grenades quickly and often enough that it’s not a huge worry about if “you used it effectively” or not.

  • @OthersideSparrow

    Def important to keep in mind, that running double special can allow you to get "mercy ammo" where drops will auto go to you to refund the guns.
    Running primary will never allow this as it only procs when you are empty on everything, which can no longer happen as primary ammo is inifnite.

    I’m personally feeling that elemental interactions are making even legendary primaries feel very powerful right now, especially Hatchling and Incandescent. Yes, you can get both on specials, and sometimes it’s even a great option, but being able to magdump into a surge of hatchlings and tangles, or solar pops and potentially firesprites and sunspots, offers an extremely high amount of build synergy and add clear.

    double special works on every content outside GMs. Or if your teammate has special finisher and Aeons, then it can also work GMs. Also Indebted Kindness and rocket sidearms are the ones you wanna use on double special. 1 scav and 1 reserve mode is like 1/3 max capacity on pick up/ like 17/50

  • @redsix5165
    @redsix5165 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Indebted kindness is such a game changer. The rocket damage is like a 3x and it splashes ads. Permeability for those elemental buffs… but right now you only need heavy for boss dmg unless you are in an underpowered state like gms. Even in gms polaris can get champions down relatively quickly. I would say running pantheon really opened my eyes to what weapons matter. Eg if youre on ad clear you need an exotic and heavy scout + orb gen. If you are doing a job you may need a specialty weapon for thar job (eg forerunner or sniper for tmentors). On e you figure out your jobs, you pick your tools…dbl special is really helpful if you need to loadout switch (eg a new job came up)

    Sunshot basically feels mandatory for me in some Pantheon encounters (team has been stuck on -20 Explicator), Grav Lance when void is good. Lucky Pants can carry more than a few primaries too (obviously 180s and Warden's are more optimal than this, but even Midnight Coup doesn't feel terrible on it, except for yellow bars). I think Polaris Lance might be more artifact-carried than people give it credit for, it's just easy to forget because of how long this season's been.
    Ager's on Stasis hunter/warlock is about to be silly too (trace rifles are primaries don't at me).
    What I'd really like is a kinetic rocket sidearm though (I don't mean the strand one, though I'm happy about that too). A little baked-in extra damage to everything but bosses would be nice, and my suspicion is that kinetic guns will play really well with Prismatic. For kinetic primaries it's probably Outbreak, Necrochasm, Khvostov probably. In particular I want to shout out Smite of Merain which gets Focused Fury into Firefly--that's gonna slap in situations where you want Outbreak but need a different exotic elsewhere. (Can also do Pugilist or Demolitionist in column 3 to feed ability energy instead.) Same with Insidious and Dragonfly/OFA.
    I mentioned last video that I also suspect glaives are gonna glow up some due to Stylish Executioner being on prismatic, which will provide an alternate source of ammo-free add clear and defensive utility to boot. If glaive melee kills also function as kinetic damage kills, you'll transcend pretty quickly too.
    Wave frames I think are stocks-down, less because of the direct nerfs they're getting and more because a lot of the best Prismatic builds look like they'll be able to cover the situations in which they're good with cooldowns rather than with ammo. Likewise the buff to frozen-target shatter damage. The number of viable alternative AOE sources is increasing, so there's less reason to spend 5% of your special ammo reserves on a single add wave, and it'll be harder to get away with only using that much too.
    So I think a common setup during TFS might look like:
    Abilities for AOE and defense (Sunbracers, new Stasis and Prismatic builds, other unforeseen things--e.g. what if the Hunter arc exotic turns out to be good?)
    Special weapon for yellow bars (snipers, shotguns, fusions, GLs; Forerunner for Tormentors)
    Efficient special weapon OR outsized-strength primary for stragglers and filling gaps in ability builds (rocket sidearms, glaives, trace rifles; kinetic exotic splash primaries, like Outbreak and Khvostov; Sunshot, Graviton Lance, Dragonfly/Firefly legendary primaries if they hit hard enough)
    Heavy for bosses and champions (probably still rockets and HGLs)
    This is not that different from what already exists, but not only are we getting new options for those roles, but some of those, in tandem with balance changes, will reintroduce old options that haven't been practical previously. Forerunner is the only currently existing special sidearm in its slot, so the strand rocket sidearm opens possibilities for things like Delicate Tomb to coexist with a special sidearm (seriously, love that gun, it's just so hard to fit into a loadout rn). The teammate-healing auto rifle opens new possibilities with Ember of Benevolence (probably) and with running less Solar in general. Ceno players will probably love the heavy trace. Almost every Stasis gun has to be viewed with fresh eyes, too, going all the way back to Salvation's Grip.
    I think the broad strokes of what a loadout looks like will be roughly the same, but what options are good for those roles is going to be shaken up quite a bit.

    Aegis, you have a very unique insight.
    What role do you think Glaives have in the sandbox currently, especially the endgame? What do you think they need to have in order for them to be worth using if they're not currently? I love that their melee functionality is effectively a primary weapon in-and-of-itself, nevermind the shield and shooting. And while we're on special weapons, I just want to say that I am unbelievably hopeful that one of these new rocket sidearms coming with TFS have Shoot to Loot with extra points if it can roll that WITH Lead from Gold, too.

      Not Aegis, but if your offensive needs are covered by your other guns, there's some real crazy stuff in this game that gets tanked by glaives. (Like those stupid void homing shots from contest Nezarec that did like 150 damage through everything.) The shield is easily the best part of the whole setup--basically no other weapon in the game offers anything like it.
      I think the main issue with them in a vacuum is that their projectile kinda sucks. This was more true when they first released, and a lot of people haven't touched them since. Many have poor reload stats (Unexpected Resurgence can actually get pretty quick with Impulse Amplifier, but others have worse stats--and a lot of people dump reload when they craft glaives for some reason), the damage and reserves aren't high, and the perk pools so far haven't been anything to write home about. Getting into melee is a tough risk/reward proposition, and their projectiles have damage falloff at under 20m in most cases despite how hard it already is to land that shot at range.
      Vexcalibur is awesome when Void is good, but that hasn't been the case for a while, and the same holds true for Ecliptic Distaff. Winterbite is an otherwise incredible weapon hamstrung by taking up the rocket launcher slot and replacing it with projectile DPS on par with Conditional Finality or Forerunner. The class exotics have all gotten some buffs but are still pretty clunky to use. There still isn't one in the kinetic slot, which reduces buildcrafting opportunities substantially (I believe this is because of the guardian's portrait on your inventory screen--supposedly that thing is weirdly hard to code around). The two S16 glaives are joke weapons. There isn't an intrinsic-stunning exotic glaive other than Winterbite, and I suppose you could add the Voltshot or Incandescent glaives but those are not practical for the purpose.
      A reserve buff and a range buff would go a long way towards solving the issues. Winterbite could probably use some love on its projectile damage versus bosses as well; something like 20% would bring it up to roughly Thunderlord tier.

    I’m glad that primaries have recovered a bit from their sorry state last year, at least to the point where you’re not just throwing using one over double special. I’ll be honest, I don’t like double special, mainly because I actually like primary gun play and how it feels so I avoid double special if I can. I’ll always advocate for primary buffs for that reason.

    Do ammo finder helmet mods work at all or just not as good on double special load outs? It's confusing because description says kills have increased chance of heavy drop but then in caption says primary ammo kills increases drop rate. So do they not work at all or work but just not as good as primary kills?

    • @life-destiny1196
      @life-destiny1196 หลายเดือนก่อน

      per the Destiny Data Compendium: Ammo finders work on a counter system, where weapon kills progress a counter by a slightly randomized amount that eventually spawns a brick.
      Power weapons don't progress the counter (I think), and special weapons only progress it a little bit. Primaries progress it much more than specials. Exotic primaries progress the counter around 1.3x more per kill than legendary primaries. (This is part of why Sunshot etc. are so good--they rack up that counter progress extremely quickly, which means you're much likely to have extra heavy lying around.)
      Two special cases:
      Eriana's Vow progresses kills as a special weapon but also gets the 1.3x exotic bonus, which no other exotic special does.
      Indebted Kindness progresses as it if were a primary, which is much faster than it's supposed to. (It's unclear to me whether this applies to Buried Bloodline or Forerunner.)

    Rockets sidearms don’t actually progress finders at quite the same rate as primaries, regardless of what the compendium claims. Exotic primaries require ~17 kills, legendary primaries ~20, other special weapons ~80, and indebted kindness ~27
    Also voltshot AoE kills don’t count, so watch out for that too

      I’d say it depends on add density, and prevalence of mini bosses. If there’s a ton of adds then a primary with an ammo finder might still be good, but otherwise double specials might be better. At the end of the day, what’s best is what works best for you.

      I don’t really agree. Yes double specials are very viable and best in slot for a lot of situations, but the viability of certain double special loadouts entirely depends on the situation. I’ve found success with less general use specials as well as things like traces and sidearms.
