I wondered how much more damage was thrown around in heroics, so I ran some tests using a ballistic shield(which is a joke for survival, by the way). The shield had 540k HP. In heroics, a generic red rifleman mob burned through the shield at a rate of around 135k damage/second. On challenging, the damage was roughly 65k/second. That's a pretty big difference in difficulty. The thing is, heroics don't reward gear with any different stats than what drops in challenging mode. So what's going on? Are heroics intended just to be more difficult and that's it? Or is loot bugged?
i think they were supposed to drop 500GS only gear, i could be wrong though. All heroic runs i've done on missions have a varying loot chance. Either a bug or ''working as intended.''Originally Posted by Tom_Jetland Go to original post
Too bad there's no one to make this clear to us.
None, compared to DESTINY 2 for example.Originally Posted by Tom_Jetland Go to original post
to be blunt absolutely no point at all other than to challenge yourself, they were supposed to be providing 500 GS only drops on Heroic but sadly they haven't followed through on this, like many other things....oh but they did mangae to quietly nerf another talent last night during the maintenance window by dropping hard hitting from 15% to 10%....wow
Actually the 500GS for heroics is only for boss drops, not for drops during the mission
Heroic Difficulty Mission Bosses, Stronghold Bosses, Bounty Bosses and Control Points Level 4 will give you containers that will guarantee GS 500 drops when the player has reached GS 500
It is weirdly worded but it is 500GS for heroic mission bosses, heroic Stronghold bosses, Heroic Bounty bosses, and CP4 (also known as Heroic CP).
Ummmmm......Hard Hitting was nerfed when update 3 went live a couple of weeks ago.Originally Posted by SGTR0CK117 Go to original post
I know the CP4's do, but I have yet to see any extra loot box from a bounty or a stronghold, and I do challenging level bounties all the time. I just did Tidal Basin on Hard and the final boss dropped between 496-500 Items.Originally Posted by MagicHp Go to original post
The HEROIC bounty or mission final boss will drop 5 pieces of lvl 500 loot. Only CPs have the box.Originally Posted by KagatoAC Go to original post
