The Raid Gear is Incredibly Disappointing: Let's Fix That

The armor looks nice, but that's not good enough. It hardly ever drops in the first place, lol. Here's an example of an overhaul for the raid armor to make them actually endgame gear: Helmet - [b]Mind's Eye[/b]: Generate additional Super energy when killing Cabal enemies. Chest - [b]Psionic Harness[/b]: Blocks the "bouncing" effect from a psion's attack. Gauntlets - [b]Ruthless Gladiator[/b]: Temporarily provides a stackable buff to Agility, Resilience, and Recovery when getting a melee kill. Boots - [b]Mind Your Step[/b]: Gain increased Agility while holding a Psionic Charge. ------------------------ Weapons: This is just sad. There's literally ONE weapon in the entire raid worth getting - the Rocket Launcher - and frankly, you can get away with Curtain Call until (if) it drops. Let's fix that now: All weapons gain the intrinsic perk "[b]Psionic Disruptor[/b]" that reads: "Damage from this weapon silences Psions and disables Phalanx shields. Deals additional damage to Cabal." [b]Additionally, all raid kinetic and energy weapons can swap between their roles with the appropriate mod.[/b] In other words, you can add an energy mod to the Auto to make it an energy weapon and a kinetic mod to the Scout to make it a kinetic weapon. Power weapons obviously remain as power weapons. [b]Ambitious Assassin simply doesn't do much of anything[/b]. Most of time you will find yourself refreshing your magazine before you engage again and leaving your magazine half empty just to get any mileage out of the perk is dangerous and stupid.

    You shouldn't get gear that has effects that completely negate the enemies effect. If you had something that blocked the bouncing effect the calus fight would be a joke. The bouncing is part of the hardness inside the shadow relam. Effects. Helm--causes more ammo to drop while killing cabal (similar to wrath gauntlets) Gauntlets--increase reload speed when in shadow realm (more skulls) Chest--harder to detect from hounds. Boots--faster speed when carrying a charge. Weapons--more damage to cabal.

    • BUMP. In the past every piece of raid armor and the weapons had some extra perk that made them special and particularly useful in the raid itself. The leviathan weapons look pretty, but you can find other weapons outside the raid that are just as good, if not better.

    • The main raiders in my clan have completed all content and basically don't plan on raiding anymore due to raid gear not even being raid gear anymore... It's just different looking gear, unlike the original Destiny raid gear that gave perks that helped with the raid. Was it just laziness on the developer's part or are they going to fix the armor?

      • I've almost got the entire armor set with one character lol. Need the boots and that's it. I can't get a Damn primary to drop. It's like some people get guns, and others get armor.

          Titan and warlock armor looks like trash. Actually 99% of all Titan armor looks like garbage. I used to main a Titan but I can't anymore.

          • Why not go with the popular opinion of making raid specific gear mods to make use of the new mod system and allow players to wear gear they enjoy at the same time?

              • LOL these raid weapons are so far and away better than every other raid's drops, other than Black Spindle, since VOG. It's not even debatable. Yet no one was bitching when clearly inferior to these. Why? Because this game is actually super good and those susceptible to groupthink, who need to whine to validate themselves, need something to bitch about like Teenage girls.

                    • I would say yes... but we aren't using the hard mode items if there is a difference. I reserve judgement till Prestige is released.

                        • I think you're proposing some very OP weapons here. Honestly? I think the raid weapons are all great. Aesthetically pleasing, solid perks. Mind you, I do LOVE the midnight, but I think these guns are fine as they are.

                            • I agree some of the gear needs a buff, but most if the weapons are not included. I like your ideas for most of the armor, but not the chest. That removes all challenge from the dark realm. Honestly I think being able to hold more ammo for your power weapon would be good for the chest. The weapons; Universally: the weapons need a buff, I agree. But bypassing the projection shields would again, bypass half the challenge of the raid. The phalanx disruptor idea is good. The scout is fine - don't give me your copy/paste shpeel about 10% less damage and no explosive rounds. The raid scout is power and useful. Rocket - everyone can agree It's awesome. Sure, you can use a substitute, but it won't be the same. Pulse - would be better with a slower fire rate but all around solid. Sword - really Good, basically the sword versions of triple tap and rampage. Handcannon - honestly would have preferred full auto but the one we got is fantastic. Sniper rifle - huge magazine, DPS monster. Auto rifle - I'm not a fan of autos but I've seen this in action and it looks very reliable.
