Just hit 500 - How is the change from GM to Ultimate?
Hi Guardians! I just hit 500 with my main (Warlock) and am curious to hear some comments on how the change from GM to Ultimate difficulty feels. I know it will now be -30 delta, but are there things I should watch out for? Champs much harder to kill? Enemies that hit harder?
I am an average player....usually die a few times per mission. Just really interested in hearing your thoughts on the transition. I am currently playing a couple builds I enjoy - Contraverse Hold/Axion Bolt & Getaway Artist/Arc Soul/Ionic Sentry.
Thanks!

Eventually you get used to the changes in damage output. Once you have a build you like and you learn to focus fire champions with your teammates, it becomes less of an issue. Just be sure to watch out for [u]Deadly[/u] elemental threat modifiers, as they will make you question your sanity. Hypernet Current with Deadly Arc Threat is pure torture.
