1.) I think of it on a a scale like this. 10 ligh = 1 level (31 being highest) so as long as your within about 30 light there shouldn't to much of a difference 2.) I believe it should affect that as well but can't be entirely sure as a lot of weapons initial damage factors in anyway 3.) primary: bad juju (dem supers doh) Secondary: shotgun (unoriginal but whatever) Heavy: Lmg (maybe rocket if taikonaut is equipped) 4.) intellect and discipline unless your a warlock otherwise a combination of the three 5.) still feel like ARs aren't hitting hard enough to be on par with other primaries (RIP HCs)

Brooo, I'm a member of your clan. Just have my other clan tag on right now. Lol.

Touch of malice since the perk will work

i guess lightlevel is linked, so when you are above 270 light with your 170 sniper it will still one shot headshot. but you could do more dmg and have more defense with 300 light of course ..

Lots of bad info here; Lvl 34 was 170 light -> 5 light per level. This also checks out with damage rebuff vs higher light enemies. If the enemy is 5 light higher, you should be doing 30% less dmg (PVE)

Lol this guy.... talk about a kid that wants to ensure he has the "competitive" edge.

Is there really a competitive pvp class on destiny though

1. I have no idea 2. Yes it does 3. Raid pulse, 1000 yard stare and sleeper simulant 4. Discipline, gotta get me some supressor nades faster 5. Good for the most part, aside from a few issues like shotguns that they are probbably going to fix

From what I heard previously each light level is like a 1.2% dmg/Def buff obviously it would cap somewhere as they are going to be letting 251 lights into trials. The Armor buff should work but it is probably as minimal difference as the Ram helm after nerf, but none the less may help you win a few gun fights. Red Death and hawkmoon will be popular even though many legendary pulses are better than Red Death due to range and bad stability. Year 2.0 is way more balanced than year 1 and we will see much more variety, not just TLW and Thorn. IM SO EXCITED!!! Oh and Max Intellect for sure, then if you want grenades a lot do discipline and if you punch a lot do strength.

[quote]For all of you other PvP players out there, I have some questions: 1) How much is light level going to effect damage & defense in Iron Banner and Trials? 2) Some gear has increased armor against an element, does that factor in PvP? 3) Which guns will you be using in Trials? 4) Intellect, Discipline, or Strength for Trials? 5) How do you think Bungie did with year 2 weapons? What do they need to look into more?[/quote] 1) No clue 2) Yes. Very minimal that it might as well not make any difference at all. 3) Personally.... Jade Rabbit 1000 Yard Stare Vertigo Or Last Word Party Crasher Vertigo 4) Discipline should be prioritized, you need to ensure you have a reliable grenade ready when an enemy goes down. Strength.... Meh personal choice Intellect.... Meh persobal choice. But personally, Discipline number 1 5) Autos still need to be buffed, even the massively nerfed Hand Canons can still outgun them at the right range.

No one knows the light level effect yet, theres a brand new system, different then the previous year one. Increased armor in PvP shouldnt really make a difference, but still not necessary a lost cause since its on most chest pieces. P:Hawksaw, Bad Juju, Hawkmoon, (Tlaloc when you have your super is also godly if you play warlock) ,Herja-D (rangefinder and headseeker w/ smallbore and fitted stock.) *Those are my personal preference on the best guns in the game atm, herja-d i added in there because i really do believe with a good roll it can compete. S:Eirene, 1000-ft Stare, Conspiracy Theory D (the one w/ rangefinder and performance bonus), or if youre one of the lucky few with a god roll PC 2.0 *Eirene, be in the new Final Round or not absolutely tears through sunbreakers with that lucky proc, so if there was to be a team of 3....this would be the go to. Otherwise ive been enjoy the 1000FS with hot swap and guerilla fighter. H: Vertigo I run knightstalker due to evade primarily, as well as two grenades that are capable of an easy insta kill. Because of a somewhat lackluster super i spec discipline and strength. (Tier 4 in both) This allows for constant grenades, something like 30-40 seconds for both. Grenades are nice primarily to check corners, etc, no different than any other fps. *However most other classes dont have this luxury, so youd be better off with intellect discipline, as there supers are more capable of multikills, not to say that shadowshot isnt....but within trials itll be a better counter play as opposed to offensive. And personally? With year two weapons, they did alright, granted most were reskinned from previous weapon models. But ive been hella enjoying the Hawksaw. Three burst headshot, cant go wrong.

no such thing as competitive in destiny.... you want competitive? play halo most of these "top players" will play hella average.

1) Don't know. 2) Yes. 3) Red Death/Hung Jury/Hawksaw, Conspiracy Theory-D/1000-Yard Stare/Stillpiercer/Long Far Gone, Truth/Vertigo/Raid HMG 4) Depends on your build and what you want to achieve but intellect and discipline is your best bet. 5) They're good overall. I couldn't really tell you, just more guns with less recoil I guess.
