I’m a D1 guy so I have a slight chub about this, but I can’t seem to reliably hit max DPS with a sniper in D2 with every boss on console. Especially when things like Rockets or Grenade launchers exist.
Heya, I noticed you using one-two punch with the liar handshake's cross counter and combination blow. Some clan-mates were telling me that one-two punch actually nerfs the damage of cross counter, so if using that in my build they suggested that the best sequence was start with shooting shotgun first, then punch, then punch again for cross counter bonus. Is this right? I notice at 6:59 that ehroar instead does shoot, punch, shoot, punch as his sequence. any insight is much appreciated
But does it also stack with scorch you get while song of flames is active? So that you in theory get it down to 2 shots? Edit: just saw llamas video...it does ignite after 2 shots
@@ClairvoyantLastrus I would think that for most bosses, higher dps would be better given specials are secondary to a heavy option (exceptions being euphony and still hunt). I’d be curious to know if this is ever not the case (I.e a very long damage phase). I’d love to justify using my new god roll but it seems ikelos may just have it beat. Thinking out loud here, lmk if you have a different opinion.
@@PandismLive You answered your own question haha. Some long damage phases that come to mind are the witness, both bosses after the first in warlords ruin, every boss in kings fall. Just to name a few. People forget dps isn't everything, especially when you don't have ammo to continue doing damage with a long dps phase. Sure, you blew all your ammo in the first 10 seconds of the phase, but now what are you gonna do for the potentially other 50 seconds of the phase? Slower rate of fire and swap weapons fill that role of total damage. People also don't care about dps, they care about the big total damage number at the end of the fight. You aren't going to get that big number with higher dps weapons, because that's not what they are built for.
Seraph Mission, Xur(?) & don't delete non Deepsight Frames!! I cannot tell you how many people I know that ended up with 4/5, they've got Deepsight Harmonisers & last seasons ones sat doing nothing on the Bungie Website only to realise they've deleted what could've been number 5.
clown catridge vorpal weapon is nice for general play as well where you might only need a couple shots, or just need to quickly break a barrier champ shireld
Came to the comments to ask the same thing. Insane. This is supposed to be about sniper damage, but now I just want to know more about that Hunter build.
"Recoil sucks on console" if you've been playing D2 this long and haven't learned to control the snipers recoil to land decent crits, you just dont try. I have no problem landing my crits on console 🤷🏽♂️
@@austinfrayer163 bahahaha go watch aegis and realize how stupid you sound. If it wasn’t for still hunt hunters would be useless lmaoooo. Star eaters nova is the highest super in the game now with 1.1 million and no artifact mods. Radiant nighthawk golden gun is only 745k. Without still hunt being so busted hunters would never catch up so keep coping clown 🤡 😂
for general play regualr snipers are pretty solid now especially with antibarrier. the uzume is reaslly solid from last weeks knightfall and succession has always been good

Man it's been so long, ikelos sr v2 with high impact reserves was the last one i used.
I got one also with high impact and triple tap, and OG version, still works really well
@@thatoneguy1741 Just craft it
I was already sad enough about dismantling my distant tumulus, bungie didn't have to rub it in.
it drops from xur now, farm up. i got a clown/firing line roll on it last weekend.
Have you tried Void Snipers with the Void weakening boosting Expanding Abyss artifact perk?
Great info, I was a little curious about some of the interactions like with ashes. Appreciate the clarification!

Recoil on console sucks. I’d still give it a shot tho
Celestial still hunt still reigns supreme but Whisper will climb back up to the top when still hunt gets nerfed
I hope they make incendiary rounds a solar fragment at some point
i miss snipers as main dps or rocket launches i feel like destiny 2 is peak with that meta
Does this go hard with Dawn Chorus on warlock, just like we had seen with Polaris Lance recently?

I’m not saying they are lying but that shouldn’t be how that works, cross counter should be buffed by one two punch 🫡
It nerfs otp not cross counter so you're still getting 3 × 1.4 instead of 1.4 × 2
@@cutie9132 so what is the best sequence of attacks you think?
It's about damn time, been waiting a decade for this shit.
This may bring me back, snipers are the most fun dps for me
Snipers Meditation also works on body shots
Ikelos+Dragons Breath should be pretty decent damage if your not on Hunter right?
You can ignite in two crits when using song of flame super
But does it also stack with scorch you get while song of flames is active? So that you in theory get it down to 2 shots?
Edit: just saw llamas video...it does ignite after 2 shots
We're you using liars handshake for the melee damage?
eh still feels so clunky running double snipers
I want the build in the background 😩 link needed
It be nice if higher strength controlled recoil more right? With 100 Strength giving -90% recoil
Lmao it's not actual strength silly, it's just a stat for melee cooldown
@@ClairvoyantLastrusno shit
Still not using them because sniper recoil on console is absurd.
Fr lol
Insane skill issue
@@Sam-gn5eedefinitely a skill issue
It’s not a problem on the witness lol but if you’re using it on like Hefnd then yeah
That’s a YOU issue amigo major skill issue
why did you say "sniper rifles are cooked", if you meant that they're really good right now?
If this act has taught me anything. It's that snipers are absolutely garbage and you need 10 hoops.
How much better is ikelos than the sniper from last week’s gm
Total damage with uzume, dps for ikelos. Depends if the dps phase for whatever boss is long or short
@@ClairvoyantLastrus I would think that for most bosses, higher dps would be better given specials are secondary to a heavy option (exceptions being euphony and still hunt). I’d be curious to know if this is ever not the case (I.e a very long damage phase).

Uzume can roll with 4th times the charm and deconstruct, nuff said
How do you get the ikelos sniper rifle?
The current exotic mission rotation seraph shield. You have to get 5 red borders so good luck LMAO
you get 3 red borders per week on ur acc guaranteed. do the mission once on normal, and once on legend.
@@abbozgfx yeah but every seraph weapon is in that loot pool. It's very unlikely to drop the weapon you are looking for

Spam them! It's not hard!
Uzume with 4th times and Precision Instrument is silly
That gun is trash
@@jonnybones6952 not with the current mods it isn’t. precision instrument stacks with Snipers Meditation and it ignites
@@ItzGimliit’s just bad compared to ikelos sniper since it isn’t a rapid fire frame
clown catridge vorpal weapon is nice for general play as well where you might only need a couple shots, or just need to quickly break a barrier champ shireld
4th times and deconstruct makes it a mini whisper of the worm
04:00 this is what a single Hunter does to a GM these days??

@@nathanddrews liars calabans exotic class item with one two punch shotty. if u freeze something, by dodging twice near it, you get insane punch dmg.
im sure snipers are good
i just cant deal with that fucking flinch, pathfinder be like get 30 prec kills with sniper, i hate it so much
Is use a sniper if the ground wasn’t slopped.
Is this even English?
