How to Farm High Stat Armor in Final Shape | Get High Stat Builds EASY in Destiny 2!

Returning player here, last time I really played the game was Forsaken. Thx for the guide.

[@dylanwalser3138]

THANK YOU. You have no idea how tired I was of every creator for D2 say “just download this third party thing that picks all your armor for you”. Thank you for an amazing explanation for newer/return players. It’s VERY appreciated.

[@gurthyjohnsonTM]

Once you get a ton of high star armor after farming the activities he mentioned you will still need to go to DIM and let it pick your armor.

[@teremleonheart3776]

Ngl, getting accompanied with DIM is not a bad idea at all, homie. Saves you a hella ton of time later on switching between mods and armor pieces when you're going for that grailed stat distribution.

[@jesselee9857]

​@teremleonheart3776 you're 100% right on this, but a month or two ago when I came back to the game I was in the same boat as the original commenter. it doesn't help if you don't have the armor to synergize together to make a build.

[@deejayy8303]

23+ is what you want on your single focused stat. You want the other two stats to equal 32+ 🙂

[@hunterblack9778]

How cause that like 15 and 16 that would equal 60 and 64 plus the +10 that wouldn’t equal 100 in both ?

[@deejayy8303]

@@hunterblack9778 it’s possible, trust me lol it’s not “needed” but it’s something to aim for when sifting through pieces. & For some reason, when I turn in emblems through the 1 random armor engram, I get low stat armor. Not sure if you’re getting that issue or not as well. Maybe it’s something they changed this season…

D1 Alpha player here who's only taken much of a break post-Lightfall. I've never heard such a succinct, actionable explanation of min/maxing armor, and now I am on the hunt. Thank you. Take your earned sub.

[@j.d.mcintosh3234]

Thank you for this very important information. As an OG veteran Destiny player, I learned so much from you especially this particular season. I pride myself on having triple stats (no artifice armor) on all or most of my elemental load outs with exotics, but not on all 3 of my guardians (hunter & warlock, 2 stats each). So now, with the help of your video, I’ll work on my other 2 guardians. My tip to all is: save your high stat armor as you play the game for each part (helmet, gauntlet, etc). When you’re ready to create your build, pull out all those pieces that will synergize with your build. Keep the great content coming.

Do hard content asap, it’s way more worth your time, the master nightfall has great rewards if you can get through it in under 20 minutes to justify the reward to time ratio

[@amandraa9066]

I have all tripples on my builds! Looking for that quad build though. DIM app helps so much!

[@derek3154]

Unless you starting with zero good armor then anything lower than 64 is deleted. When picking 3 stats (Resilience , Recovery, Strength) you want a minimum of 2 with 20+points and one with 10+points to keep it. I also keep various stat points of the same stats to help balance exotic armor. Maybe both Helmets have the 2x20 and 1x10 but I would keep 1 with the 10+ in resilience, 20+ in Recovery and another with 10+ in Recovery and 20+ in Resilience. Hunter is very annoying and I have to keep more armor. I also keep a top 3 (mobility, resilience, recovery) split of 15/15+ points especially for Hunter as it tends to distribute better at times.

[@maurot22]

Bungie needs to do something about MOVILITY, its useless!! Maybe reload faster or run faster, something that make us think on invest or not on that stat at all! (HUNTER MAIN - dont speak english, sorry for my grammar)

[@derek3154]

@@maurot22 it’s not useless in PvP, I really have come to like running 60-70 mobility on my warlock/Titan. I do think they should do something about Hunter, it’s just not fair that their class ability cooldown is tied to Mobility meaning you have to take stat points away from Resilience/Recovery to get max cooldown of your dodge. I mostly hate it because I have to keep/farm for way more armor for Hunter because of it.

Depending on your build if you need mobility, being Amplified gives you 50 already and it is quite easy to maintain so you really only need 50 in mobility on the character sheet.

My personal requirement for a piece of gear is for it to have 3 different stats of 20+ with a mod/masterwork. Great guide for beginners and returning players. I didn't know Xur could sell artifice armor now, so that's cool. Got a new sub from me!

I didn't know exotic ciphers were limited to 5 in the inventory, I freaking did a nightfall last night and the cipher was a drop and it didn't give it to me. Right after that I discovered that exotics can be made into artifice armor... Then I bought xurs warlock artifice helm... that was a series of events I now regret happening.... it sucks being a solo new player

I went through about 70 engrams but couldn’t quite get it to work. I had triple 90s but not 100s. My focused stat was always 20+. Maybe it’s bad luck. I had the idea of keeping the best and focusing a different stat to try to even out. Next time I think I’ll just do an even number of engrams per slot and see if d2 armor picker can find a way.

What's the exotic on ghost, the one after the sword? I'm still missing that.

[@awesomefuzz4008]

That's the exotic class item; you'll have to do a run of Dual Destiny to unlock it. Dual Destiny requires a bit of a secret quest to unlock it (as in, a precise series of steps without clear in-game instructions), which is why you won't see a node on the map for it unless you've found the mission already. I won't spoil it here; google it if you want a play-by-play, but I will say that you will need exactly 2 players to run Dual Destiny and I would personally recommend just finding a friend who has it unlocked already to launch you into it rather than doing the secret stuff, since it's pretty tedious and not especially interesting.

[@reymaster105]

what if i dont want to buy the season pass ._.

[@Velocity_AU]

"We dont really want to get mobility" hunter pain

[@Armando.L.7]

Is mobility really worth it though what does it help you with? I know of course with jumping and sprinting but I’ve heard it doesn’t really do much since we all practically run at the same speed unless we have amplification or something. As for jumping, depending on the class and class jump selection. I hear most people saying that resilience and recovery is the most important thing since it’s your survival

[@Velocity_AU]

@armandoliriano4334 The Warlock Class ability (healing rifts, turret friends, etc) are tied to the Recovery stat, higher recovery, faster it returns, which helps with health recovery too. The Titan Class ability (shields and barriers) is tied to Resilience, which helps with health resilience too. Hunters Class ability (dodging) is tied to mobility, and all mobility does is increase the height of our first jump and allows us to strafe faster. So Warlocks and Titans only need to focus on Recovery and Resliance, using Mobility as a dump stat, while Hunters need to focus on having high numbers in all 3, which is why most people aim for 100 Mobility and Resilience, while getting as high of a number in Recovery as we can (30-40 most of the time for me). That's why Hunters had more trouble with things like surviving compared to the other classes, because until recently we had no way to heal ourselves, we were just damage or pvp. These days are better, but it the mobility pains are still real.

[@Aeromatt436]

@@jeffrodriguez3561 you just have to keep progressing through the seasonal quest line. After the fourth failsafe research item is unlocked it should work.

[@Florence00pi]

Should maybe point out that you should make sure (for non hunters) anything > 2 on mobility is a wasted stat. I wouldn't even look at most of the pieces you call "decent" ... a 67 with 18 in mobility is worse than a 57 with 2 in mobility. So priorities are #1 have 2 in Mobility (so not to waste points, for warlock and titan), #2 have a high stat roll (something > 65 the more the merrier), #3 things that add up to 5s and 10s after upgrading to tier 10 etc. (or at least be close, 99 is as good as 90, that is 9 wasted points). Same goes for Artifice Armor ... a roll of artifice with 5 mobility is at best as good as a normal "high roll" on a legendary with 2 mobility, only bonus being you can round numbers off better with the 3 stat to choose. To be better than a regular high roll it needs to be < 5 mobility. Obviously hunters are different and you will need to add some stat mods to ever get to triple 100s. Max you can get is like 69x3 (high rolls) + 72 (ish exotic) + 5x12 (5 Items with + 2 on each stat for golden border) = 339 (ish, didn't look up exact max rolls etc.) that is 33 effective "stats" (within a 10 range that actually gives a bonus). Then you can get 5x +10 with mods (and theoretically another 15 with artifice). so 38 to 40 is the maximum effective 10ranges you can ever get with super rolls adding up to fill exactly 10s. However the lowest a stat can be is 8+10 = 18. So your going to loose some from that. 3x100 is not that big of a deal imho. Just go for 2x100 (but don't go too high, give yourself some flexibility with the mods to top things off). Aiming around 80 in the important stats is a good rule of thumb there. Also destiny armor picker ... a must mention when optimizing armor really.

Trippin. Last season was the easiest but this season you passively get a lot of echo engrams. You could do both and probably still get echo drops but if you stock pile them then spam random armor with a focus mod, throw them all in the vault, then destiny item picker makes it super easy to make trip 100.

[@charlestonjew7587]

I've been doing that recently and I've come to the conclusion that Bungie just hates me. I had a Discipline mod on my ghost and focused an engram. I rolled a piece with a total of (12) Discipline and like 42 Intellect. I shit you NOT. But it doesn't lie. I did get at least +10 Discipline. I dunno if anyone's done and number crunching but I'm almost positive the stat distribution does not have equal rng. I'm betting Intellect has a much higher chance of rolling a boost over anything else, followed by Mobility, then Resilience, Recovery, Strength and with Discipline having the lowest chance of getting a boost.
