Sing me the song of your favorite guns! (Destiny)

Hand cannons won me over in D2 after being somewhat indifferent to them in D1. Right now my Hunter runs with The Old Fashioned in the kinetic slot and Sunshot in the energy slot; OF starts decapitating at mid-range, then switch to Sunnie for close-in work, shield busting, or cleaning out hordes. (The chaining solar explosions help a lot there.) I like the mix so much I stuck with Cayde's "Lucky Pants" armour so switching between the two is almost instant and there's a brief period of extra accuracy after, too. Power weapon's Show of Force to handle the loooong range firepower; hits like a freight-train, when I can hit with it. (Getting more often now with practice.)

I was thinking of taking that mix into the raid, but from what folks're saying that might not be the best mix. Might go with a scout rifle for kinetic and Hard Light for energy, which means switching the Pants out for a different exotic. (Celestial Firehawk or Knucklehead Radar, probably.)

My Warlock alt is running with an Omelon sidearm of no particular distinction and Graviton Lance. GL's fun too.

-- Steve's quite enjoying this version, at least now that the networking's mostly settled down.
