This weekend I finally masterworked a gun and an armor set. I waited a while to see what kind of weapons I got, what I liked playing with, what all the options were, and a sense of how the game economy works now.

I created a build around a really great drop I got for the energy pulse rifle Right Side of Wrong: Wolf Dot W2, Alloy Magazine, Outlaw, Full Auto. Masterwork stat is stability. I put in a minor spec mod. I just hold down the trigger and it's sooo stable. Headshots all over the place, and it absolutely tears up red bars.

I used the chrome plugin DIM to find a bunch of perks on armors in my vault that were either for pulse rifles or rifle class. Here's what I ended up using:

• Energy Weapon Targeting
  
• Heavy Ammo finder x2
  
• Rifle Loader
  
• Unflinching rifle aim
  
• Pulse rifle reserves x2
  
• Rifle dexterity
  
• Pulse rifle scavenger
  
• Recuperation (health on orb pickup)

My armor MW resistance is void, arc x2, and solar x2.

This was the first weapon that I MW'd since forsaken dropped. Now I'm swimming in orbs, heavy ammo, my pulse rifle has some crazy amount of ammo (760+ if I remember correctly). Having these extra orbs makes a ton of difference as far as being able to super way more often.

On friday, my helmet was holding down my average, with a 529. I finally got a PG drop for it (now it's at 543) and my average went up about 11 points in a few days of heavy playing.

My character finally feels strong enough to actually do stuff at Dreaming City, and I ran my first few Blind Well runs last night. Pretty nuts.

I think Destiny may be in the best place it has ever been. It's casual friendly, it's hardcore friendly, there is SO MUCH to do. I had tons of fun this weekend and honestly just wanted to keep playing today, instead of going to work.
