Lore

Luna's Howl

"Guardians never die. But we don't forget those who do." — Lord Shaxx

Josef opened the door. Shaxx filled the hallway beyond.

"You look tired," said the Crucible handler. "But I have just the thing to get you buzzing."

"No time for the Crucible," Josef dissembled. "Another day."

"I'll hold you to that. But that's not what I meant."

Josef said nothing.

"I was speaking with Saladin," Shaxx continued. "We were remembering all the people we left behind over the years. Your name came up."

"Oh yeah?"

Shaxx held out a cardboard box, perforated with large holes. "The Valus asked me to deliver this."

Josef opened the box. At the bottom, in a nest of cloud accretions, were two sleeping war beast pups.

"They're not replacements," Shaxx explained, "but we hope they bring some light back into your life."

"They're perfect," Josef said, his voice tender. "Thank you."

"See them settled. Then I expect you back in the Crucible to teach MY pups a thing or two."

First drop after attuning was a shiny heal clip/incandescent with EOTS/MH as secondaries. This gun goes hard in PVE. Haven't run it in PVP with the secondaries yet, but I imagine it will go hard there too.

Mag howl is probably it's best perk in pvp imo. All you need is one mag howl bullet and then if you've got radiant (which I haven't found too hard to get, even without artifact mods) you can two tap guardians 6 res or under. If you use slideshot or a holster mod, you can also get a second mag howl bullet pretty easily and then it's just all two taps all the time.

I think with slideshot getting all the attention it's getting people aren't looking at heal clip as a genuine option in pvp though. I get why, but for the specific build I'm running, I bring acrobats dodge to get radiant, and I run ember of benevolence to get it back faster. Not only does heal clip also activate ember of benevolence, but it generally makes you much more likely to survive going into your next fight after you get that two tap readied up.

Then you can run ember of empyrean and you can chain that radiant almost endlessly.

I don't know why people aren't talking about Subsistence + Magnificent Howl. That roll is absurd; Magnificent Howl gains back a stack of its 50% damage boost when you get headshot kills, and is only limited by your need to reload. Well, Subsistence means that you never need to reload. And since Subsistence rounds up, running it with Appended/Extended Mag reloads two bullets per kill instead of one. This is far from a cope roll; Heal Clip/Incandescent is fantastic for buildcrafting but this roll outright performs.

Tried one with slideshot/MH and slideshot/instrument, both being very nice. Is some getting used to the 180 recoil on a 140, but when you do, it really sticks to the target. A lot of good rolls, so experiment.

The curated role is pretty fun in PVP but heal clip, and incandescent is a beauty in PvE. I’ve been using it in the pale heart & im loving it more that zaoulis and epochal
