How to Farm High Stat Armor in Destiny 2 | Get High Stat Builds EASY in 2024

[@liboud22]

After watching like 10 videos on stats optimization and stuffs, I can say that yours is the best among them. You explained everything pretty well! Thank you so much!

[@EvanNee]

ugh, THANK YOU! I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around making a decent armor build for like a month now as a very new player, and watching a bunch of videos and scouring Google still hadn’t gotten me to a point where I actually had a game plan for *what to actually do* to improve things. now I feel like I can actually get started and be somewhat in control of the process! I don’t need the highest possible stats of anyone ever, I just want numbers that are DECENT so I don’t have to constantly wonder if I’m having a way harder time than everyone else in activities.

[@TypicalGiftig]

Easiest way ive found to gather seasonal engrams is legend/master lost sectors. On a good day you can get it to 2-5 minutes and it gives you like 2 engrams each lost sector you complete Managed to get up to over 50 engrams in 2 hours

[@Laplacee]

Honestly, as a hunter, idc about mobility anymore. On Arc, I get my dodge back with melee kills, on solar I get it by scorching enemys, on Void the dodge is only the emergency option to get invisible, I don't think you really need it for Stasis or Strand, at least not so much that the investment would be worth it.

[@vanzwho854]

mobility has never been useful, they need to change it. It makes strafing slightly faster and i think you might get a small jump boos but i dont think it affects anything else

Been playing for years and was a serial dismantler until I startered to understand the numbers, today I just learn even more and can stop moaning about my sunbracers having too much mobility - focus some new ones instead - excellent

[@captainlunchbox87]

I did not know about that split of 50% in the top 3 and 50% in the bottom, so having my mod on the ghost for resilience is hurting me more then anything. Thank you!

[@LoneOakWoodworks]

You also don't have to equip that until you are going to decrypt the Engrams, so for instance I use 5 energy to get 50% more glimmer or more loot from public events while playing, then go equip the discipline mod on the ghost before decrypting Engrams..

[@nolankelley5536]

Wow amazing video. I had no idea how to do all this. THANK YOU

[@soldado23]

I think you missed the SubClass Fragments. I removed all fragments when working on your gear pieces. That way you actually have an accurate reading on your stats. Then add the fragments and see where your stats are. Additionally, If I want I can get triple stats with my Hunter Void class but then I won’t have the best fragments to improve my abilities cools-down. Even with 80 Discipline, there is fragments that improves your discipline, and it is better. Great video overall!!

[@AnthonyGrant-it6id]

Just coming across your channel & this is a excellent breakdown. I've watched other videos in the past and by far this is quick and to the point.

[@Eyasluna-]

Ppl usually make the mistake of not using discipline armorerer in their ghost. No matter what stat you are looking for, discipline will usually be the most helpful for stat spreads for all classes in pve. People should also be aware about the energy costs of stats. I see ppl well over 100 on multiple stats where they could simply change the mod or use the mod with lower energy cost and be able to run much more useful mods in their armor slots. Great video :)

[@MCanadiens]

I have tried the discipline armorer mod and it never seems to work. I just keep wasting engrams. I been using resilience and it works. What I am going for usually is 100 res, 100 rec, 100 dis....

[@ghanaria7996]

@@MCanadiensthe mod guarantees a 10 in your chosen stat. You should put it on discipline to steal points from strength and intellect, and hope that resilience and recovery are split. That’s the theory at least.

[@MCanadiens]

I guess I just have bad luck. The pieces never work out. Using the resilience been sort of lucky. Have four sets of the triple 100 and the rest are 100/90/100 or 90s.@@ghanaria7996

@@ghanaria7996yea that’s how it works and that’s the best way to assure you don’t get Intellect/Strength and then vice versa for the 1st SET but people just can’t comprehend it I mean it is RNG but you can have better odds if you know how to use it right

What a great breakdown! I’m going for the platinum trophy which means prepping for endgame. Every guide has left me confused until I found this one.

[@purpleguy3924]

u have probably already gotten there but endgame in this game is not very difficult. u do not need godrolls or perfect stats for any activity in this game, obviously it will help, but i would prioritize getting god rolls on weapons over having perfect triple 100 builds.

Excellent tips, been playing on and off from the start, the farming starts today!

[@NOTMYPRESIDENT-f7e]

One thing that people may or many not realize is once a season is over with you ca keep the seasonal artifact going..it help because you can get engram drops from that season

[@goatseatchili1817]

Best lazy way is to have an exotic with the stats you want. Farm seasonal engrams till you have 50 - 100. Focus ur ghost towards a stat you want for the build. Buy random armor from the vendor (I do 20 of one stat than swap). Throw it all into your vault then use d2 armor picker to pick the stats you want for your build and let it cycle through the armor. DIM helps you equip and lock that armor, then upgrade it with shards till you have the build you want. You can save the old armor in case you end up needing to do another build down the road.

[@burningblaise]

50-100 💀 lazy huh

[@goatseatchili1817]

3:56 also good for increasing your gunsmith reputation when you delete extra stuff you get, and helping you to store more resources.

[@deadlyalliance8281]

Play game for a week straight. Get crap ton of engrams from seasonal vendors. Obtain all armor from each vendor. Farm specific armor peices from all the vendors with 68 rolls where you want the stats. Then boom. You have super close to artifice armor without having to grind the hell out of the master dungeons (and hopefully get a 68 stat roll where you want the stats from said dungeon). I have 90, 90,90,91, and 22 armor rolls. Just need an aritifce titan mark. Helmet, chest and arms all from seasonal vendors. But like someone else said, fragments mean more than The stats, even though they do help. As an FYI, I've done about 14 master dungeons the last week, a no mark. 3 master warlords and 11 master grasps(before the reset) which was bugged and gave me the same loot every time. Once the reset happened 2 days ago, I got the hand cannon, nornal mark, and sword for the first time after 15 runs). Took the reset to get rid of the bug. Now I can't farm it now lol

[@krazyk4843]

This is really helpful for me, I searched for a video about the armour stats and was told that resilience is useless outside of pvp for some reason

[@Stickz0161]

It's useless in pvp really, I think some builds can stop certain things one shotting you but I'm a returning player so a lot has changed

[@krazyk4843]

@@Stickz0161 seems good in both from what I've played using a 100 resilience build

[@sterlingd1984]

Depends a bit on your class, but also if you're trying to get a bit serious about pvp. There are things where having 80-100 resilience makes you need an extra shot or extra burst from an enemy guardians gun in a fight possibly giving you some leeway or forgiveness, and it also gives extra flinch resistance

[@jasonhergert7573]

Thanks so much, you have helped another player wanting to improve his game a bit more. This info is Gold mate. Cheers 😃. I hope to get good enough to do a Raid one day.

[@Mark___Zuckerberg]

Just a little fyi for class armor: iron banner class item + iron banner ornament counts for 2 items for the reputation bonus, so I keep a artifice and an Iron banner class armor peice so that I don’t have to run an IB weapon for the full rep boost.

[@thegameologist777]

This just blew my mind. I have been playing for a few years and just recently decided to try and step up from just a casual player. I have been struggling getting 100 in just a single stat and I had no idea that the D2 armor picker even existed. This has been so helpful!!! I was always terrible about dismantling every piece of armor I came across if it was not higher than my current power. now I will be looking a lot closer at those stats!

1:57 actually works a lot better as a hunter Main to run resilience and mobility. Try to keep recovery up, but resilience is really going to be more helpful in the long run.

Mobility is useless if you know how it works and have an actual build that can reset your Dodge on command. Hunter Main

Triple 100’s is easy , however when you make your build you get dinged for negatives to drop your stats

[@fallenangeltv6973]

Grasp of Avarice is tomorrow. I highly recommend farming the final boss cause he’s fairly easy once you get used to erasing the yellow shank and vandal at the beginning. I’m planning on farming for both my titan and warlock. Hunter is mostly covered but do want very low strength/high recovery parts. We will see. Also yes, fragments get you to 100s.

[@Dukeiscool]

I've felt for a while that different dungeons seem to have very different Artiface stat averages, so that is something I want to follow up on over the coming weeks to do a few runs through each Master dungeon and see if there are some patterns there. (I know for a while Duality was dropping *extremely* good Artiface armor, but I think I've heard that has since been changed - this was like more than a year ago at this point though so I need to go back in to test these things)

[@AJMalice90]

Grasp has 100% been the play for a mate of mine and me. It just seems to help boost us. Duality didn't help, but heard good stories. Other dungeons no-one has ever said it's good

[@fallenangeltv6973]

@@Dukeiscool me and my nephew got triple 100s with just one day of grinding. Would’ve been less but it took us a while to get the one phase kill down due to inexperience and constantly bad LFG player as a trio. If it helps you collect any data, we did this grind about 1.5 months after lightfall launched. I’ll also update you if I get good rolls on my titan/warlock. Shouldn’t take so long as I don’t want triple 100s on them cause I’m a hunter main, but do want decent rolls cause I want to experience both pvp and pve on each subclass. Especially on my titan since I was sort of a warlock/hunter main in d1.

[@C.AxelJorgensen]

GOATed video. Thank you for this!

[@jibby135311]

Nice video, great explanation. I'm going to do this. One thing I thought of while watching is to do Resilience instead of Discipline. The only reason I say this is Discipline costs 3 for the big mod and Resilience costs 4. That way you need less Resilience mods to get to 100, and can use the extra charge on some other mod.

[@robertklassen3360]

But the way the stat pools are split then you’re going to get 2 high stats in discipline, strength, or intellect. If you focus discipline then either mobility, recovery or resilience will be your other high stats. You focus discipline so that you can get 2 high stats in the top 3 rather than the bottom three. Much more useful and 100% worth the extra point the resilience mod takes.

[@Mikey-oz2sp]

Perfect just what i needed after coming back into the game thanks boss

[@gee645ci]

The best guide yet on getting high stat armor subscribed deserved !

[@michaelmyers5496]

One thing I wish bungie would do is make it so that if you were to delete an exotic armor piece, it would give you an ascendant shard. Just one. It takes 3 to completely level it up. But to have it give back in turn would be nice. Say you run a legend/master lost sector and you get some lower level exotic gear. You don’t want it. You get rid of it. What do you get? Legendary shards and some glimmer. And maybe you get some enhancement cores from the run too. Well, you’re close to leveling up the next piece of gear to max. You’re just missing the ascendant shards. Now I know there’s the exchange part with rahool but it takes more cores and prisms to make the shard than what it does to level up the exotic. It sucks.

[@SpoopySkelemans]

2023's Solstice armor was great to help out with buildcrafting armor, you could get the Armorer buff and then apply essentially a second Armorer roll on the same armor- kind of

[@GrendelParadise]

Appreciate you making this, though I dont really understand how D2 armor picker works, so I either do in game, or on DIM (Destiny Item Manager).

4:42 Whenever I've focused exotic engrams at Rahool, he has always given me super low stats. I mean super low, immediate shard, stats.

[@Dukeiscool]

I'm not sure if you've done it more recently, but they updated it (semi-recently) to be much better stats for all exotics in the game. That's not to say you are gonna get a perfect roll on the first try, but it is definitely noticeably better than it was a few months ago.

[@BeardyMacBeardFace]

@@Dukeiscool Okay thanks for the heads up. I'll start trying him again. 👍

I'll try again also but all I've ever gotten from focusing with Rahool is lost golf balls and shredding what I just focused. Kinda like amor focusing with vendors to maybe get a 55 stat with shit rolls. It's just a "Don't Do" but I'll check it out a few times to see if it's been fixed

As a purely PVE hunter working on gear, whats stats should I be looking at? I like playing Void with Orpheus Rigs

[@sterlingd1984]

I'm not a hunter main, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I do have all 3 characters and mostly do GMs and dungeons.. you'll want as high of resilience as possible for the damage resistance in pve, and middle of the road or higher recovery and discipline (50-70 with subclass fragments) so you can maximize time not needing to stay behind cover regenerating lost HP, as well as throwing enough grenades to deal with the clumps of trash mobs or random elites. The rest is preference for a specific build or play style, but you might want decent strength for the invis/weakening smoke

See that exotic focussing at Rahool, the guy is a bum. I've focussed dozens and dozens of exotic engrams at him and only had maybe three keepers. I find the best stat exotic armour I get is random drops while playing the game. They can be 68, 69 or even 70. IMO, the resources needed to focus exotics at Rahool should guarantee you a better chance of a top roll than random world drops. It took about 20 goes at getting a decent roll Osmiomancy gauntlets for my Warlock. The amount of 61, 62, 63 with the highest spike in mobility crap I got was unreal and that's with disciplne slotted in my ghost. Even doing legendary Lost Sectors seems to give a better chance of better stats than that gimp Rahool the tool hands out.

Focus armor, keep the rolls with high numbers in the primary 2-3 stats you want and low(ish) numbers in the stats you don't, and toss em in the vault. If you want to make your life of min-maxing your stat distribution easier, use something like DIM (destiny item manager) that let's you put in the stat thresholds and exotics you consider minimum requirements
