The Nether’s META

I see many people talking about the difficulty of the Nether and how poor the healing is, so I decided to make a quick post to hopefully help others out.

Unfortunately, as things are now, healing is not the play for the Nether.

Bungie stated they want players to have fully focused healing builds and also want the player base to treat health as a resource, but this created a conflicting gameplay mechanic, and as far as I’m concerned, there is one workaround

It is to stack DR.

So you want Woven Mail, Frost Armor, Amplified, etc., or anything DR-focused. Our health pools are so massive that stacking DR is the best way to get through the Nether.

This whole activity was made to take a baseball bat to the melee-focused Prismatic builds that have been running rampant on Titans and Hunters while Prismatic Warlocks have been running around with Devour. Unfortunately, stuff like resto, devour, and other healing options just don’t cut it here because they don’t give enough healing to compensate for our large health pools. Bungie wants us to switch up our builds.

Our health bars are so massive that if you stack DR and pick up healing pools that enemies drop, you’ll be fine and complete the Nether quickly. The loot also compensates for it(already have so much loot and I have gotten a lot of extremely good rolls for the new Auto Rifle already)

It is very much a fun activity.

I also recommend Khovostov. It charges Prismatic instantly and clears out groups of enemies like they are nothing. It’s been pretty nasty since TFS, but it really shows its strength here. I highly recommend pairing it up with the builds you guys go for if people decide to run Prismatic(which I recommend).

If anyone else has any more tips, please comment them below for others!
