Although it would nonetheless be potential to deal huge harm, you’ll should be way more deliberate together with your timing and certain want to contemplate protecting extra foes alive.
One other huge ingredient of this replace is that Unique armor is lastly getting Artifice armor stat slots. As soon as a bit has been Masterworked, you may improve it a remaining time utilizing an Unique Cipher (lastly, a use for them) at which level you may pop in a +3 stat increase. This could assist gamers hit larger stat splits and make Exotics really feel simply that bit extra particular.
Along with this mod change, raid mods are being adjusted to make it simpler to make use of them in a construct. Their vitality prices are being fully eliminated, which implies you’ll not must sacrifice among the different class merchandise mods to get a slight utility (or harm) bump in a raid.
There’s rather more within the preview, so undoubtedly test it out, however one final thing price mentioning is the change to ammo finders.
