Tassi Buffs

So I know Tassi has to write articles everyday and all of that, but when he writes these “things that need buffs” articles, I can often tell that he has never even tried out the thing he is talking about. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2022/10/31/destiny-2-needs-to-buff-up-these-new-total-dud-exotics/?sh=714f161015a1

In this article he talks about the Rain of Fire boots and that they are in dire need of a buff. My fav build of the season uses them, and I think they are lethal personally if you try them out and figure out what they do.

He talks about them being useless because they bring increased arial effectiveness when using a Fusion rifle or a Linear Fusion Rifle. That is true, it does suck, but it is only half of what the exotic does. The other thing is that it makes you radiant after any Fusion Rifle Kill regardless of what subclass you are using.

My fav is an arc warlock + arc buddy + Adept Plug One(Arc) + Queenbreaker(Arc) + Piece of Mind with Harmony (sub in any Harmony weapon of your choice for the effect). With this build all I need is a fusion/linear kill to get radiant and amplified, then my follow up fusion shots create blinding explosions with more damage, and my Harmony primary is a melting machine. Super easy to get this train rolling.

Sometimes you have to get in there and experiment. Not everything is equip Chest piece, throw storm grenade and win.

Still salty about storm grenades? Yup.

There are a bunch of exotics that are actually quite good that don’t get a lot of play. Rain of Fire is one of those. Another good example is those reflecting titan boots. For most players they aren’t that great, but in the hands of a good player they are really tough to play against.
