So I’m at 400…. But I’m not a 400 player… ouch!
I only noticed this morning that the difficulty level had changed. I was no longer a newbie, a whelp, a kitten, and nor was I even an expert (as if), but reaching a higher level had somehow catapulted me into something I just wasn’t prepared for.
400 doesn’t represent me who, as a poor, bang average, less than average player, struggles to get his ship into orbit, and now because my level gives a false sense of my skill (non-existent at the best of times), I’m thrust into harder content where I can barely get twenty kills and die with alarming regularity!
I’m quite enjoying the haunted candy thingy, have had no soft locks and the rewards are quite acceptable, but boy oh boy do I feel underpowered and underperforming running ‘grandmaster’ level events.
Yeah, I’m at 400, but I still feel like a 200 player at best!

Edited by Awtiii: 10/31/2025 4:06:05 PMYou're not giving yourself enough credit set, I know your limitations after years on here but there's very little difference as you go up levels, it's all very samey until you hit ultimate. Solo ops is easy peasy & if you don't like those just run matchmade & let others do a lot of the work. Just play your life & play smart, things like resist mods help a tonne, as does a build that can give health back like phoenix dive warlock with high class stat - it's really very simple. Happy to advise. Ultimate 500+ is a little tankier but even that's not overly bad if you avoid the awful stuff like contest of elders & savathuns spire - it's just a bit slower & you get bored. Easiest build for everything honestly imo is my warlock. All you need is Song of flame & phoenix dive Mint retrograde (the bow that drops this season can work too for barrier & range) Ahab char (look for heal clip & burning ambition) in solo ops - Polaris Lance if you're doing match made stuff & play your range. Any heavy, I'd say boomslang but I never use it much so your call, anything works. The only stats you want over 100 is class as high as possible, & weapons if it allows class to be above 100 too. Artifact put on all the solar & radiant mods. You can basically stun all champs over & over, & phoenix dive to get health back over & over. Practice makes perfect & it's really simple.
