Ahh! It’s Armsday!: 5/31/17 “Return to Arms.”

Hello everyone. I’m back. I’m not 100%, but I’m back home, & life is slowly beginning to return to its normal pattern, albeit things aren’t the same. I’m still not truthfully in a good place. I want to say thank you to each & every single Guardian who reached out to me & gave me support. I am a Solo player so it was odd to actually be able to feel/sense the good intentions & well wishes of so many people. As many know, my Grandmother did pass away unfortunately. We did all we could so I there are no regrets, no remorse. I, myself however am still recovering from the loss as she raised me as her son. So for me, losing her was more like losing my mother. I will be upfront. In the end, I had to make the decision to pull the plug. I’m still coming to terms with it, & it haunts me, even though I know it was the right decision. Anyways, I want to say “Thank You” to everyone for the support, prayers, well wishes, words of encouragement, & those who offered to have me join a PSN Chat to just have someone to talk to &/or just cry to. Seriously, all that meant a lot. Finally, everyone give Haunter & Kroppin some props. They held the line & did their best while I was MIA, they gave me support as well, they gave it their all. Alright, I’ve rambled enough & as Kroppin learned, the character limit is an agent of The Darkness. I’m not 100% so if the Ad humor is a miss. I apologize. Let’s get to the Rolls. _____ [b][u]Disclaimers:[/u][/b] All recommendations no matter how good or bad are still pure opinion. My recommendations are 100% for PVE & strive for Static Performance vs Situational Performance. [b][u]God Rolls[/u][/b] There are 2 types of God Rolls. Community = Popular Opinion/Suggestion. Personal = A roll that perfectly fits/enhances [u]YOUR[/u] individual playstyle. [b][u]PVP[/u][/b] I will [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] be making PVP recommendations. Haunter won’t be here this week so hopefully Kroppin can cover PVP... _____ [b][u]Legend:[/u][/b] HC = Handcannon, SR = Scout Rifle, AR = Auto Rifle, PR = Pulse Rifle SPR = Sniper Rifle, FR = Fusion Rifle, RL = Rocket Launcher HCR = High Caliber Round, APR = Armor Piercing Rounds, EXR = Explosive Rounds AoO = Army of One, EotS = Eye of the Storm, LitC = Luck in the Chamber, S&P = Spray & Play SPS = Single Point Sling, HLS = H&-Laid Stock, C&P = Close &/or Personal, SDC = Smart Drift Control [b][u]Omolon[/u][/b] [i]”This Summer, Omolon is bringing to you a new way to add insult to injury to your enemies. Introducing the Omolon “Salt” line on ammunition. Instead of a Viscous base, this new fluid has a Salt base, making it a thick sludge, with a salty tinge. So not only will you wound your enemies in the usual Omolon fashion. But you’ll literally be pouring salt on their wounds. Fun! Omolon! Dragging you kicking & screaming into ever more bitter & sour Future![/i] [b][i][u]Uffern HC4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Sureshot Third Eye Extended Mag/Braced Frame Life Support/EotS Roll 2: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Sureshot Zen Moment Lightweight/Injection Mold Icarus/EotS Roll 3: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight Third Eye SPS/Braced Frame Outlaw/Underdog Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save If you happen to have this order, none of these rolls are good for this HC. Wait till next week. [b][i][u]Thesan FR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Solar Spark/Torch Grenadier Snapshot/HLS Unflinching/EotS Roll 2: Void Candle/Torch Hot Swap Enhanced Battery/Injection Mold Underdog/Danger Close Roll 3: Void Spark/Torch Grenadier Enhanced Battery/Oiled Frame Life Support/EotS Recommendation: Roll 1 or 2 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save Bleh. Roll 1 has a better spread of Perks Grenadier for cooldown, HLS for stability, EotS for the occasional buff. Roll 2 would be the god roll if that third column wasn’t so awful. Only get these if you wish to burn the order. [b][u]Häkke[/u][/b] [i]*Cut’s to children running from Cabal* ”Oh no! It’s the Cabal! What’ll we do?!” a boy cries out. “Don’t worry kids. I’ve got just the solution!” Announces a voice. “Mr. Häkke!” The Children scream. “That’s right kids. Now, come here & take these Häkke brand guns. When dealing with Cabal you need a real gun. Not some squirt gun, or some fancy toy gun.” Mr. Häkke says. *Shows Mr. Häkke giving all the little children guns.* “Now, hold that gun steady, & shoot those Cabal right where it counts.” Mr. Häkke says. “In the head?” Asks a child. “Hahaha. No you sweet lil thing. A Häkke will kill them no matter where you shoot them, with just 1 round. So, shoot them somewhere where it will hurt. You know…so they can suffer.” Mr. Häkke explains, “Shoot them, in their Ca-balls.” *Ad slowly fades to black as it glorifies the innocent children screaming: “Häkke!” while shooting Cabal in the crotch* “Häkke! Just one round, takes em down!”[/i] [b][i][u]Judith-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Truesight/Sureshot Crowd Control Reactive Reload Hand Loaded/EXR/Reinforced Barrel Roll 2: Truesight/Steadyhand Surrounded Zen Moment Hand Loaded/APR/Smallbore Roll 3: Fastdraw/Steadyhand Danger Close Feeding Frenzy Snapshot/APR/Oiled Frame Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save I'm going to explain why I did not choose Roll 1 (a PVP roll imo) for PVE. Reactive Reload will often fall off before it can be of much use (before you can really tear into an Ultra) in PVE. Crowd Control is fine. EXR is great as it allows you to one shot Shanks. Choosing EXR at the cost of Range is foolish. Due to the 3m range nerf on HCs in the last patch creating a greater dmg fall off. Range perks help negate this. In PVE a dmg, reload, & range perk is required if you want a reliable HC. You don't need Reactive or EXR because the Judith already one shots Shanks & normal enemies. But it reloads slow. A slow reload will cost you in endgame activities. [b][i][u]Arminius-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: GA Post/SD Thermal Surrounded Focused Fire HCR/Hand Loaded/Braced Frame Roll 2: GB Iron/LD Watchdog Partial Refund S&P HCR/Fitted Stock/Braced Frame Roll 3: GA Post/LC Ranged Danger Close Focused Fire HCR/Speed Reload/Braced Frame Recommendation: Roll 2 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder Roll 2 is a decent to strong roll. Partial Refund will help return ammo as your friends finish off the enemies you’re spraying, S&P will be useful as you mow down enemies with this, & braced frame kills the recoil. This gun is up for reorder. Might as well give Roll 2 a try. Or…get a real AR like…an Ari-41. [b][i][u]Jingukogo-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Void SDC/Linear Compensator Last Resort Hot Swap Flared Magwell/Fitted Stock/Rifled Barrel Roll 2: Void Soft Ballistics/Aggressive Ballistics C&P Battle Runner Flared Magwell/Fitted Stock/HLS Roll 3: Arc SDC/Accurized Ballistics Last Resort Battle Runner Flared Magwell/Hand Loaded/HLS Recommendation: None, maybe Roll 2 for PVP Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save Roll 2 has what could make it useful for PVP (if you should somehow have Special Ammo). This gun can be better. Wait another week. [b][u]Suros[/u][/b] [i]”Protruding. Voracious. Stern. Maximized. Burgeoning. Relief. SUROS.”[/i] [b][i][u]PDX-45[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SLO-19/SPO-28/SRO-41 HCR/Feather Mag Icarus Snapshot/Reinforced Barrel Roll 2: SLO-19/SPO-28/SRO-41 Hammer Forged/Appended Magazine Zen Moment Speed Reload/HLS Roll 3: SLO-19/SPO-26/SRO-41 Fitted Stock/Feather Magazine Hip Fire Snapshot/HLS Recommendation: Roll 2 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder Banshee goes from never selling this, to selling it every 2 weeks. He’s a dick. Roll 2 will give you the most bang for your buck out of all 3 rolls; Hammer Forged for Range & Accuracy that will offset the range penalty of HLS, HLS will boost stability close to laser like levels, & Zen Moment is a bonus. Not a bad roll. This gun can be reordered this week. REORDER IT! [b][i][u]JLB-47[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Void Aggressive Launch/Soft Launch/Hard Launch SPS/Speed Reload Feeding Frenzy Perfect Balance/Snapshot Roll 2: Arc Confined Launch/Soft Launch/Hard Launch SPS/Flared Magwell Unflinching Javelin/Quickdraw Roll 3: Solar Confined Launch/Linear Compensator/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Flared Magwell Reactive Reload Perfect Balance/Snapshot Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save If you have this order. Hold onto it. This week the JLB-42 is up for order, but it is outclassed by the 47 in every way. [b][i][u]Next Week’s Orders[/u][/i][/b] (LC = Learning Curve) [u]PDX-45[/u]: LC: Intermediate [u]Arminius-D[/u]: LC: Expert [u]Tamar-D[/u]: LC: Expert [u]Ari-45[/u]: LC: Intermediate [u]JLB-42[/u]: LC: Novice That’s all I got this week. As always, feel free to share any rolls you have that I have not listed. No promises but I will try to post a recommendation if you list all 3 rolls, as will Haunter. My RL is still hectic so when I do get on the forums it’s normally at work. So, I don’t always have time to review/evaluate a roll before making a recommendation. For a “Fistful of News”: Moving forward, I will do my best to keep “Ahh! It’s Armsday!: going until August. As Destiny 2 launches in September, Haunter, Kroppin, & I might take a well needed vacation from Armsday until Destiny 2 launches. I might also vanish again in June as I will be moving that month & may not have internet access for a few weeks. We’ll see how the cards fall when we get to these milestones. There is no confirmation Destiny 2 will have Armsday, however if it does. I will be reprising my role with “Ahh! It’s Armsday!”. Yes, a month ago I said I wasn’t sure if I’d get Destiny 2, but I gave it a long thought & will be moving forward to Destiny 2. Maybe if Banshee-44 perishes we’ll get a new Gunsmith named Aerikx-29 who only delivers rolls that range from Amazing to Godly, who allows reforging & crafting (like a real gunsmith). Yeah, I’m not holding my breath on that… Be Safe! Guns Up Guardian!

        Folks. Don't feed the trolls. By not being toxic in my OP & by updating folks on why I was absent for the past 2-4 weeks I expected to get a few trolls. Like Sweat to a Zombie, Blood to a Shark, Wasp Blood to a Wasp, sharing sensitive details like I did appeals to their nature & they cannot help but go into a frenzy. It's like asking a cricket not to chirp, flea not to bite. It's just nature. Just ignore them. Focus on Armsday.

          Interesting. I'm not like the professionals here, but I have some rolls for lesser known ones. Only got two rn so here goes. Hakke: Lyudmila-D Roll 1: Ga/ld sights-Last resort-rodeo-High cal/Hand loaded/Inject mold Decent. Last resort is not great, but works in trials. Rodeo works. Inject or high cal. Roll 2: not even going to say this disappointment. (Unflinching) Roll 3: ga/lc-army of one-counterbalance-high cal/hand loaded/reinforced If you have this order I say roll 3 or save. Next is a suros rl. That's it. Suros: JLB-42 Roll 1: aggresive/linear/countermass-sps/flared mag-unflinch-PB/snap Roll 2: linear-heavy pay/speed reload-feed frenzy-jave/lightweight Roll 3: smart drift/hard-heavy pay/flared mag/spray play-jave/snap. I say roll 3 for flared instead of feed, but they're both halfway to grs. So you should probably save your order. Remember, I don't associate with Kroppin, Haunter, or Aerikx. I'm just getting the ones they've missed. The rls are pve. The lyud is pvp in my eyes.you can try it in pve. But I don't recommend it.

[b][u]Häkke[/u][/b] [b][i][u]Judith-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Truesight/Sureshot Crowd Control Reactive Reload Hand Loaded/EXR/Reinforced Barrel Roll 2: Truesight/Steadyhand Surrounded Zen Moment Hand Loaded/APR/Smallbore Roll 3: Fastdraw/Steadyhand Danger Close Feeding Frenzy Snapshot/APR/Oiled Frame Recommendation: Roll 1, interesting side note: when Crowd Control, reactive reload and weapons of light all combine the results a 1hk headshot on guardians...fun at times but largely irrelevant because of the requirements to get all 3, for those who don't mind a slower reload this is one of the better rolls it can get. [b][i][u]Arminius-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: GA Post/SD Thermal Surrounded Focused Fire HCR/Hand Loaded/Braced Frame Roll 2: GB Iron/LD Watchdog Partial Refund S&P HCR/Fitted Stock/Braced Frame Roll 3: GA Post/LC Ranged Danger Close Focused Fire HCR/Speed Reload/Braced Frame Recommendation: Counterbalance + braced or bust.

[b][i][u]JLB-47[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Void Aggressive Launch/Soft Launch/Hard Launch SPS/Speed Reload Feeding Frenzy Perfect Balance/Snapshot Roll 2: Arc Confined Launch/Soft Launch/Hard Launch SPS/Flared Magwell Unflinching Javelin/Quickdraw Roll 3: Solar Confined Launch/Linear Compensator/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Flared Magwell Reactive Reload Perfect Balance Recommendation: None, grenades and horseshoes fails us once again.

I know what it's like to lose a loved one so keep your head up, and thanks for being one of the few consistently positive posters on these forums. Best of luck guardian, hope to see you in D2.

                  • Glad to see you made it back, Aerikx. We've all lost something dear to us. I know how it feels. My dog was killed on Super Bowl Sunday while I was still at work. He somehow jumped the fence in the backyard, some bastard ran him over and left him in the street. I was the one who had found him. Seeing the broken lifeless body of my best friend, was something that had broken me as well. If I did have any regrets, it's that I wish I had taken him for one more walk. But anyway, life goes on. I never thought I would ever get over that. I don't have many orders, but here's what I got [b][i]Suros Dis-47[/i][/b] Roll 1: Hip fire SLO 19, SPO 28, SRO 41 High cal rounds, casket mag Lightweight, reinforced barrel Roll 2: Unflinching SLO 12, SPO 28, SPO 57 High cal rounds, appended mag Single point sling, reinforced barrel Roll 3: Outlaw SLO 12, SPO 26, SPO 57 Fitted stock, feather mag Snapshot, injection mold [b][i]Hakke Tamar-D[/i][/b] Roll 1: Private eye, feeding frenzy ATA scout, ATD raptor High cal rounds, snapshot, appended mag Roll 2: Private eye, feeding frenzy ATA scout, ATD raptor Explosive rounds, quickdraw, injection mold Roll 3: Outlaw, guerilla fighter ATA scout, ATD raptor Explosive rounds, armor piercing rounds, braced frame
