Xur's junk: 3rd Man, Light Beyond, Mk. 44, Remote, chest. (Destiny)

My opinion:

Universal Remote is great if you know how to aim for the head. It can outshoot Felwinter's IF you hit a guy in the head.

Light Beyond Nemesis is a good exotic. Makes extra orbs, quick revives for Trials. Plus, it's a helmet, so it's not competing with much.

Mask of the Third Man is all right. Had an orb heal perk, but the reduced bladedancey thing gets in less than one extra swipe.

Stand Asides are awful.

My priorities would be

1. Universal Remote
2. Chest engram
3. Light Beyond Nemesis
4. Mask of the Third Man
5. Castration
6. Stand Asides

My opinions.

1) Universal Remote - because shotgun.
2) Shotgun telemetry - because shotguns.
3) Chest Engrams - because I'm a degenerate gambler.
4) Heavy ammo - rockets.
5) Light Beyond Nemesis - because I'm terrible and need to be revived constantly.
6) Mask of the third man - Stabbing stuff is cool.
7) Any of the sparrow upgrades.
8) Motes of light
338) Stand Asides

Your opinions are wrong.

Nothing else though, it's true.

If you're a blade dancer, this is basically the best exotic pvp armor you can own. Spending more time blade dancing = more kills, fewer deaths, and a lot more scared enemies who feel like there's always someone blade dancing near them.

I would agree if it helped besides the intellect boost.

by Funkmon @, Friday, June 12, 2015, 13:08 (3692 days ago) @ Kahzgul

I did some testing about 6 months ago, and it gave me one extra swipe in a room full of enemies. If you have any time between swipes, it basically doesn't help. It may do better with the recharge blade perk.

If you are high on intellect, don't bother if you have preferred exotics.

Universal Remote is great if you know how to aim for the head. It can outshoot Felwinter's IF you hit a guy in the head.

I haven't used either of them in PvP, but I can believe that. The critical damage boost on UR is no joke. Ever since the shotgun buff in PvE, it makes mincemeat out of anything with a critical hit zone.

Light Beyond Nemesis is a good exotic. Makes extra orbs, quick revives for Trials. Plus, it's a helmet, so it's not competing with much.

It doesn't seem to be everyone's favorite, but I agree. I think the team support perks are worthwhile, and nowadays with Crota hard mode the "heal on orb pickup" thing is much more useful.

Mask of the Third Man is all right. Had an orb heal perk, but the reduced bladedancey thing gets in less than one extra swipe.

I'll say this: It's much more significant if you're using the ability to recharge the meter with each kill (and actually get a chance to do so).

Stand Asides are awful.

Yeah, I don't know if it's quite that bad, but I don't see them being all that useful myself. One would have to REALLY be focusing on shoulder charge for them to make any difference at all. I feel like unless you're using shoulder charge on every single enemy, you're just not getting that much out of this one. That being said, like any exotic or raid boots, they do give you extra heavy ammo. So this is a way to obtain that perk if you don't yet have other means.

My suggestion for the Mk. 44s would be instead of slightly extending the time shoulder charge is active, just allow it to be active all the time (when sprinting, anyway). Would that be overpowered in PvP? Probably, yes, but it's the only thing I can think of that would make them worthy of using up the exotic slot, short of just adding a whole new perk.

Dunno, man, Shoulder Charge with the shield would be quite OP in ToO. Especially since it isn't timed like grenades, melee charges and supers...

You can get both Shoulder Charge and the shield?

It was hypothetical based on the exotic perk suggestion.

Shoulder Charge

by Blackt1g3r @, Login is from an untrusted domain in MN, Friday, June 12, 2015, 14:38 (3692 days ago) @ ZackDark

How about, in addition to the current shoulder charge increase the Mk. 44 Stand Asides also reduce the time it takes the shoulder charge to start? So you can shoulder charge someone in a shorter distance. They'd have to be careful to keep that from becoming OP probably.

Mk 44 stand asides. They make the floor all purple

I swear the work better for increased heavy ammo drops than ruin wings. I love em
