I don't know why, but shooting a tether arrow at enemies and bosses in D1 felt more rewarding than using shadowshot [i]anywhere[/i] in D2.

That's because 1.) In PvP it doesn't kill people 90% of the time even if you hit them. 2.) There's no damage buff to tethered targets like bosses. 3.) It still takes 5 secs for it to suppress someone even if you directly hit them.
-
1 is correct, but 2 and 3 are wrong to an extent, there is a damage buff to tethered enemies just not with heavy anymore... and if you are HIT by the tether it instantly applies the suppressed effect
-
Plenty of times I've hit people with tether directly still able to throw a hammer or a nova or fire a gunslinger shot before they are actually suppressed.
-
I agree. I keep going back and forth between shadowshot and arcstriker but can't seem to settle on either. I really want shadowshot to be a bit more powerful as its more my style.
-
I find the element of surprise using a tether the most rewarding. Try shooting it from invisibility
-
Dear God D1 was better but you don't have to be dramatic lmao. With Orpheus Rigs on, I have never felt more efficient as a Hunter. An exotic Bungie doesn't get much credit for tbh.
-
Meanwhile i am wondering what the orpheus rigs catalyst will buff about them when masterwork exotic armor comes....😄. Most likely unlock requirement... Tether 500-1000 enemies. Lets hope its buff will be faster tether activation. Or ...grants super energy on spectral blade kills 😉
-
[quote]Tether 500-1000 enemies.[/quote] This won't be difficult at all lol. Escalation Protocol makes sure of that.
-
Yeah ...but i made it a realistic number for supers. Weapons catalysts are 250 most of the time. Wardcliff is 500....but its wardcliff. Celestial nighthawk would for example be stupid to get 500-1000 kills with.....because you only have 1 shot with a weak combustion effect. Raiden flux would also be pretty easy with 500+ kills.
-
Also to be fair not everyone has access to Escalation Protocol, so you're right on that front for that at least as well.
-
I got riskrunner catalyst yesterday. Wave 1 of EP =loads of thrall and boomer knights....all arc dmg. Completed that catalyst in about 1 hour.....250 kills and 250 chain kills.
-
Daaaaaamn, I didn't realize they had the perk where they'd recharge your super super fast when tethered to a large crowd. I gotta go play with them now. Thanks for the tip.
-
Tethering 10 enemies =full super back. Where have you been?
-
Primarily using Wormhusk crown for the dodge health regen. Not anymore though!!!!
-
I just have 3 armor pieces for PvE that i mostly use. Celestial nighthawk. Raiden flux. Orpheus rigs. For pvp it is either knucklehead in quickplay or wormhusk in competitive... Because those are the only real good ones......so far.
-
All I know is I haven't taken them off unless I feel like screwing around with Celestial Nighthawk lol. The damned things let you blow through enemies. Plop one down and everyone dies! So what our heavy damage doesn't get buffed? Damage share is enough to make that fact pointless. And if you're launching a solo tether at a boss and it isnt a raid boss, you're doing it wrong anyway, amirite?
-
Tethering only the boss can grant -blam!- dmg though. On solar/brawler.....1 hammer titan with synthoceps can kill xol easily. If you add a tether to that you will get D1 year 1 gjallerhorn damage levels. Also on argos ... PS:Hammers super gets 2x buffed by synthoceps because they count as melee damage and as a super.
-
Just wish Synthoceps didn't look like a Striker exotic. I play mostly for "Dresstiny" as I saw it called the other day. Equivalent of Fashionframe in Warframe? Me and my bud used to go around the tower and talk shit about inferior looking Hunters lol.. I am kind of weird with what I wear and what I equip class wise with it. I can't help it!
-
I am all about fashion >>>>>utility. If an armor part does not shader pretty/cool i wont use it .
-
There should be more of us. I used to see some pretty bad looking Hunters man.. [i]shudders[/i]
