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

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

Important to note you have to focus a specific piece you cannot do the random 1 engram roll.

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

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.

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.

This the first video on this topic I’ve watched that actually made me understand how to do this. Subbed!

Nice video. To the point and clearly explained. Thank you.

Duke, thanks for this video man. Trying to get back into D2 and this video is very well detailed, and you're very easy to follow. Thanks again, and keep up the great content!

Thank you! I forgot all about Failsafe! Since the War Table is gone I didn't know where to go. I should've known that whatever vendor was in the H.E.L.M. that's would give good armor

My friend! Thank you so much for the info. As an OG veteran Destiny player… I know this might be old info but still goood to go back and refresh your memory and learn new things.. you got ur self a sub! Keep the goods! 🔥

Thanks for the video very helpful. When focusing armor, you can do the random one too or does it have to be a select a specific piece?

Phenomenal content, keep up the great work. Going to farm armor now

I hope the future new dungeon haves a chill boss to farm for Artifice armor, I need a lot for my Hunter and Warlock.

I normally don’t engage with videos, but Ty. 😂 I been putting off harder content because I felt like I had to hard grind good artifice armor first. Your logic makes sense. Grueling for an extra 12 points doesn’t really make a lot of sense anymore to me now. 😂

Thank you Duke, you are the GOAT

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

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.

Thank you!

Thank you kindly for this wonderful and simple explanation. I got my resilience to 100 my strength is 84 and my recovery is 68... trying to get recovery and strength to 100 with my titan. Thanks for sharing fellow Gardian! 🍻

good vid man i actually understood the vid very well done gg's

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!

defo gave me something to do between weekly resets

does do face to focus on each armor peice itself or can you use the random selection at the start sincei only costs 1 engram to maybe get 1/2 good peices before you narrow it down

Do you place all of the armor focus you want on the ghost? Or one at a time?

What is the seasonal activity for the pale heart? Haven’t played in soooo long

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.

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

Such a good guide, thank you

As a hunter what should I focus on

The changes to exotic armor ar the biggest change it so awesome to get an amazing role in case you only have one cipher & you are debating what to do either make a sub par piece artifice or do a 3rd tier focus do the focus don't make shitty armour artifice even if you strike out there is a good chance that focused armor piece will still be better than what you got. Don't make shity artifice armour.

FELLOW TRIPPLE 100 PLAYER FINALLY even some streamers dont have it

Bro just try mahees repulsor destab rounds with relativism foetracer and gyrfalcon..you gonna love it💥

What is the first seasonal mission , start with that cause I’ve done a bunch of shit and nothing took me to this planet

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.

So glad to find someone else who realizes artifice is good on paper, but generally not worth the grind

Great Video!

Thanks Duke Maximum gamering

Correction he did sell artifice armpit this week.

tiers 3 and 6 are good breakpoints for disc/int/strength. its pretty easy to get 100s and 60s and 30s. t42 is better than a t37 build

Is failsafe currently guaranteeing high stat roll armor? I remember from past seasons there was an upgrade in the helm specifically to focus high stat armor but I'm not seeing it yet this season.

so let me get this right, focus discipline, should eventually have rolls that will get me the three stats at some point?

Xur is selling artiface helmets for all 3 classes. You just didnt look at the helmet next to the vanguard engrams!

Say we farmed artifice armor that worked well for stats we want, could the +3 slot help getting close to 4 100s?

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

Please tell me what armor set that is? And what shader? The rainbow effect is dope af!

Is that a minion ghost?

I must be so unlucky, today I focused 88 engrams at the helm, I didn’t get 1 price that was better than what I had, I can only make 100’s in discipline & Resilience with recover around 60-70, so it’s either that or 3 x 80-90..

dude you could have just explained the Stat buckets

so uhh.. what shader is that? lol

In other words, you must do the same as you did with Riven vendor 🤷🏻

I don't get any high stats from ghost or failsafe doing this 200+ engrams what bad RNG I got. I have resil and recovery at 100 my dis is like 60 without trying this way but yea no luck with this method

U missed showing us your armor pieces.

How is his armor changing color?

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

i would say for 3 100 stats this is fine but quads 100% not the way

any1 know why im only getting sub 60 stat armor pieces from focusing?

sad that Artifice armor so hard to get 68 rolls.....

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.

What shader is he using??

I tried, every single time I use discipline I get a mobility spike.

"We dont really want to get mobility" hunter pain

😊

You also using fragment stat boosts... right?

Go farm Pit of Heresy final boss. That's the only relevant high stat armor farm in the game.

Is it just me, or do you HAVE to have the season pass for this????

That motion blur 🤢🤮

all i am getting is 50 plus stats not one in the 60 plus,..

How to unlock the fail safe vendor at H.E.L.M?

Please, please, PLEASE, don't use motion blur in-game when you record videos. It makes everything on screen smear so much :(

First❤

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.

I only recommend to my friends, using tier 1 focusing if you haven't reset rahools reputation yet.

Disagree with this man only do tier 3 focusing tier 2 is a waste tier 3 is always high base stat armour it may not be exactly what you want but as long as you get a high stat in one of the 3 it is a great start to focusing around it. DO NOT WASTE A CIPHER ARTIFICING SHITTY ARMOR. Get a good exotic piece & go from their. You can waste you exotics on tier 2 but good armour is few & far between.

That helmet he got though 🫥

I can’t believe you sacrificed an Exotic Cipher for educational purposes. Salute to you good sir 🫡

as always stats are dependent on week, one week you will get shit cos it focuses all like for hunter on titan, same warlock. you need to check every week what you get, mostly i got good 68 armor just on random drop waste glimmer and click one engram armor. same is with rahool on rng you dont waste anything and get higher stat armor or exotics than wasting resources on focusing. i got 68 3 in row with focus only for resilience, recovery, discipline, rest was 2 stats. best armor was dropping on season of deep and wish, so 2nd and 4th
