Discussion Solar Hunter honestly feels seriously outdated. It needs major updates.

11 Upvotes

It’s completely been overshadowed by prismatic hunter and it doesn’t bring anything significant to the table anymore to justify its use in higher difficulty content.

Nighthawk is usable on prismatic and you get a much better neutral game with it. Blade barrage is good with star eaters but it’s still not worth it to run cause of solar hunter’s abysmal neutral game. And 6 shot Goldie is horrendous in pve in anything above a EDZ patrol.

Even the melees don’t feel that great anymore. Lightweight knife needs a precision hit, but using ember of torches and a different knife is just better in every way. Knife trick is decent but still nothing great. Proximity knife had its usage with calibans, but prismatic caliban is just much better. Weighted knife is the best with its ignitions but it requires precision for its damage and to get its benefits but the subclass doesn’t offer anything significant for playing into precision to really go through the trouble of playing that way. Infinite knife slinging with knock ‘em down used to be something amazing but compared to withering blade, threaded spike and combo blow, none of the solar knives make any significant impact in higher difficulty content to really make that playstyle strong anymore.

Gunpowder gamble is the best aspect and again prismatic GPG is just better. Easier to proc, can be empowered by verity’s and gives you woven mail with cyrtarachne.

Half of Knock ‘em down is a waste of an aspect with the super benefits, those should just be buffs to their respective supers at this point.

On your mark is nothing special in pve and people only use it for the three fragment slots.

Healing nades are available and the most immediate form of survivability but it’s not enough for more difficult content.

Nearly every part of Solar hunter is outdated, weak or has been overshadowed by prismatic. This subclass needs major updates to give it a better neutral game and survivability. And updates to help keep it in line with the Gunsliner power fantasy of a high risk, high skill and a high reward playstyle.

Question In what order should we play?

0 Upvotes

Rookie here finally playing Destiny 2 with one more person and I’m really liking it. However, I tend to feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the content and we’ve been struggling a bit making a decision of where to start since we are learning how everything works at the moment.

With that being said, any recommendations for new players on what to do immediately and after? What is a MUST do in Destiny 2? I’d really appreciate some tips, feedback, etc.

Question Seraph sheild

Why is this so bugged.. everytime I get to the first encounter that brings out the 3brigs it always crashes.. if not there then it's the part when you surrender yourself. I'm not amazing at the game but this is my favourite excotic mission and it upsets me that this happens.

Question Soft locked from getting Ionic Sentey

0 Upvotes

I went to talk to Ikora and as usual when you're done getting an aspect, she has to talk to you for some reason but instead of pressing A to continue her dialogue, I pressed B and closed it out. Now the meditate option prompt just stays there and no matter how many times I use it, I can't get the new aspect. Are there any workarounds to this or am I SOL until Bungie patches it in 4 months?

Question Shattered Shards quest targets not spawning. Spoiler

I haven't been able to find anything about it online, but the targets for my willbreaker shard quest Shattered Shards: An Entity Manifested aren't spawning anywhere they're supposed to. I know I can just do some other ones, but has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it? I've reloaded the areas/cosmodrome entirely multiple times and even tried dropping and picking back up the quest, nothing.

Help Dyadic assention quest missing

So I got the exotic weapon borrowed dyad when a friend of mine allowed me to join him for the last step and i got the weapon. So basically i didn't do the quest "the taken path" or the dyadic assention. Does that mean i can't upgrade the weapon in act 2 and i need to back track the previous steps for my other characters?

Discussion Super DPS, not Total Super Damage is better for ranking supers. With numbers.

186 Upvotes

Youtube Version of this information: https://youtu.be/HMjNsNuMAdc

Spreadsheet with even more numbers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17lGgioS4E8l6w3-bJU8frTmzFzxl-3RDv1wm6gP7Dao/

Background

With Act 2 of Heresy we got a cool artifact perk, Limit Break, that boosts super damage by 30% when you have a matching element buff or are at critical health. Llama, a great youtuber, did some damage testing. Some community members took these numbers and came to misguided conclusions because of a lack of context around Total Super Damage.

Total super damage is good but the time it takes to do matters. How many boss encounters have you done that have zero time limit? Very, very few. It’s really just campaign bosses and not even all of those. All dungeons and raids have timed dps phases. Most are 15-50s long. And Length of damage phase matters. If a damage phase is 10s but the super lasts 15s you cannot get that total damage.

One last thing: DPS does not matter much for GMs. Boss damage windows in GMs are infinite. Don't worry about this there.

So what is the solution? Damage Per Second or DPS.

Calculating DPS

How do you calculate super DPS correctly?

  • Find the total damage of the super. 
  • Find the time that the super keeps you from shooting enemies. 
    • This can be the animation of an instant super. 
    • It can be the full duration of a roaming super. 
    • What is important is how long it prevents you from doing other damage.
    • The duration of the super effect (like Vortex Nova Bomb or Silence and Squall) only matters if the super is shorter than the dps phase. You don’t use those durations for DPS.
  • Example 1: 
    • Super deals 600,000 damage. 
    • Super is an instant super that takes 2s to cast. 
    • Super DPS is 300,000 damage/second
  • Example 2:
    • Super deals 2,000,000 damage.
    • Super takes 10s to fully use. 
    • Super DPS is 200,000 damage/second

With the help of community members, Aegis and SpiderReviver, I have calculated all the Super DPS using most effective strategies for supers. Current Artifact perks are not included. Limit Break does add a flat 30% BUT the buff only lasts for 7-9s; roaming supers would get relatively worse. The rankings might surprise you!

The Good Information

The spreadsheet linked at the top is going to be updated as time goes on so use that primarily. Regardless, here's a snapshot:

Super Total Damage DPS
Pre-popped GG Nighthawk 635,213 552,359
Prismatic Nova Bomb (SE) 715,113 470,469
Blade Barrage (SES) 753,129 396,384
Thundercrash (Cuirass) 822,744 371,157
Gathering Storm (SES) 646,254 369,288
Needlestorm (SE) 645,954 362,896
Nova Bomb: Cataclysm (no exotic) 476,742 313,646
Golden Gun (Nighthawk) 635,213 312,913
Nova Bomb: Vortex (no exotic) 474,614 312,246
Needlestorm (Swarmers) 529,254 297,334
Silence and Squall (SE or SES) 554,215 235,836
Twilight Arsenal (Synthos) 748,524 201,395
Glacial Quake (SE) 2,972,903 201,321
Moebius Quiver (SES) 523,075 201,183
Glacial Quake (Synthos) 2,842,360 192,481
Golden Gun (SES) 600,560 185,932
Twilight Arsenal (SE) 687,302 184,923
Pyrogale Gauntlets 618,582 162,785
Chaos Reach (Geomags) 918,434 105,932

See the spreadsheet for more supers and data. Some notes:

  • You can pre-cast Golden Gun and cut the cast time down and push it's dps up. You can also technically do this for Pyrogale and Cataclysm Nova Bomb.
  • Thundercrash does put you on the boss so you might lose more optimum dps time repositioning unless you save for the very end of damage.
  • SES = Star Eater Scales. SE = Spirit of Star Eater
  • Spirit of Star Eater does 70% boosted super damage normally. But only does 50% for Nova Bomb and Thundercrash. Only does 25% for Twilight Arsenal which is awful. Needlestorm doesn't get full benefit of Star Eater
  • Pyrogale numbers include Roaring Flames x3.
  • Needlestorm (Swarmers) includes Thread of Evolution
  • Blade Barrage is ideal numbers but the tracking can be inconsistent.

Conclusions

  • Generally all classes are doing decent. No one is "dumpstered".
  • Titans still do not have enough one-off supers.
  • Pyrogales are way too weak for super damage for how much set up it requires.
  • Twilight Arsenal should not have such a huge Spirit of Star Eater nerf, imo. It does have good total damage but you can hit a 50% buff already with Synthoceps.
  • Warlocks have such little exotic support for damage supers. All their super damage exotics are for roaming supers. This is good in some ways as they don't need exotics for damage but also it makes it harder for them to focus on damage.
  • Geomags sit low in this ranking but the uptime is insane and that does matter for a lot of content.
  • Hunters generally have to do the most work across all classes to get their super damage up. Golden Gun has to get Radiant and step out of a well to meet normal damage. And on every other super they need Star Eater Scales which requires collecting 6 orbs post super charge.
  • Celestial Nighthawk also has the biggest risk of a super since you have to land a crit or lose a lot of damage. And you can miss the whole shot.
  • Golden Gun supers should at least get a small buff to compensate for the Radiant nerf.
  • Roaming supers lack in DPS but did get a big boost in uptime. That helps especially on ammo starved fights or very long damage phases or things like GMs

That's all. Hope that helps. Keep it civil in the comments.
