Firstly, Thanks for taking the time to read. I rarely get on here, despite over 15+ Years on this site, so I probably won't be back on here to read replies, but thought I'd post my thoughts. I fully expect downvotes anyways, because you're not allowed to have differing opinions from anyone on here. I've been experimenting quite a bit, and I honestly don't see what the hate on the new buildcrafting is about, [b]minus the disappearance of the +20 Stats from Radiant Light / Powerful Friends ruining some builds[/b]; I can't say I'm a fan of the Resilience nerf, and ALSO making the mod require +4 instead of +3. Also, can't say I'm a fan of Grenade Kickstart requiring charge now to use. It's a bit upsetting how much variety was taken away with the mod system; I know Bungie is trying to tone it down for newer players so they don't get confused (you have to admit, there was a LOT of Charged With Light / Well / Warmind Cell Mods that probably never got used), but taking away without replacing or simplifying is never good-- less content in general is usually never a good thing. Anyhow, my two cents: Mods: [u][b]Firstly, people need to understand that Armor Charge is ESSENTIALLY Charged with Light, and as long as you don't apply any mods that have a DECAY rate, then your armor charge will NOT disappear until a mod uses it; otherwise, it will go away over time, but that's the tradeoff for enhancement mods now like Surges; Try Siphon Mods + Time Dilation and you'll basically never run out of Armor Charge, even with Decay, in PvE.[/b][/u] Surge = Font of Might, but easier to activate now with Siphon Mods (Orbs galore). Scavenger Mods are across whole element types and are now more useful for multi-builds. Ammo Finder Mods are built across whole WEAPON types and FAR more useful for multi-builds. Reloader Mods are across either Kinetic / Weapon Element types, but cost basically the same energy amount (and even less now at times depending on the weapon before) Shield Break Charge requiring 4 energy is a [i][b]hot dog water change[/b].[/i] Lucent Blades requires less energy now, but requires multiple of the same mod to get the same effect as before, which takes up an extra mod slot. I would have rather kept it at 4 energy with it's old potency. Heavy'Special Ammo Scout is an amazing new mod for teamplay, and I can see it being extremely beneficial in Grandmaster Nightfalls. Artifice Armor is actually more useful now in my opinion; 4 pieces can give you just enough extra stats for some of those builds that are either a couple points off, or an extra +10-12 to one that might need it. ----------- Honestly, my builds (with more or less the same mods as before, with a couple changes) are actually more powerful than they were before the update-- just required a little tweaking. I suggest visiting the Harbors of Sorrow and test out some builds-- you'll be pleasantly surprised at the potency of some mod combinations. [u][b]Just my two cents[/b][/u]; to each their own though.
