Here.... you're welcome
Tested with 3 players on prestige Pleasure Gardens on the L1, R1, Tree dogs with no empowering spores. Some variance noticed due to grenade behaviour/placement randomness and/or wall/tree obstruction. Note: Although Hunters have the strongest grenades, the striker titan still out-damages them because the striker gets 2 grenades. Also, nightstalker used the lower tree for the increased grenade duration. Use this to figure out the advised grenades for your class for the dogs encounter, or to get an idea of overall strength of each type of grenade, etc. Rank Class-Subclass-Grenade Damage 1 Hunter-Nightstalker-Voidwall 39,387 2 Hunter-Nightstalker-Spike 29,652 3 Warlock-Dawnblade-Solar (With Sunbracers) 29,032 (+/- 500) (15,348 without sunbracers) 4 Titan-Striker-Lightning 28,426 5 Titan-Striker-Pulse 28,388 6 Hunter-Nightstalker-Vortex 26,498 7 Warlock-Stormcaller-Pulse 20,828 8 Titan-Sunbreaker-Thermite 19,500 (+/- 2,000) 9 Titan-Sentinel-Voidwall 19,496 10 Warlock-Voidwalker-Vortex 17,048 (Charged) 11 Warlock-Voidwalker-Scatter 6,397 (Charged) (+/- 500) 12 Hunter-Gunslinger-Tripmine 6,048 13 Warlock-Stormcaller-Storm 5,292 14 Hunter-Gunslinger-Incendiary 4,991 15 Titan-Sunbreaker-Incendiary 4,991 16 Hunter-Gunslinger-Swarm 4,624 (+/- 500) 17 Titan-Striker-Flashbang 4,574 18 Titan-Sentinel-Magnetic 4,574 19 Titan-Sentinel-Supressor 4,574 20 Titan-Sunbreaker-Fusion 3,818 21 Hunter-Arcstrider-Flux 3,818 22 Warlock-Dawnblade-Fusion 3,818 23 Warlock-Voidwalker-Axion Bolt 3,478 (Charged) 24 Warlock-Dawnblade-Firebolt 3,440 25 Hunter-Arcstrider-Arcbolt 3,402 26 Warlock-Stormcaller-Arcbolt 3,402 27 Hunter-Arcstrider-Skip 2,627 (+/- 150)

thank you.
These numbers mean nothing to me. A pulse grenade does 28,338 damage? A player only has around 190 to 210 health.

www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-10-30-our-first-look-at-destiny-2-expansion-curse-of-osirisMain News Points: Level cap from 20 to 25 Power level from 300-330 (335 will be the new max with mods) Female ghost named Sagira as a new character Brother Vance returns and joins Ikora to guide you through the story and new Mercury patrol area New raid activity is still murky as to what it is, could it be something new for the current raid or a new raid? "Players will be able to level up to 25 and boost their Power Level from the current max of 300 up to 330 (with legendary mods presumably still able to push you five levels beyond that). The Curse of Osiris will introduce Sagira (voiced by Firefly and Homeland's Morena Baccarin), a new female Ghost which belonged to Osiris before she became separated from him. Destiny: House of Wolves character Brother Vance, who previously organised the Trials of Osiris tournament, will also return as part of the story. Vance and Vanguard warlock leader Ikora, once Osiris' pupil, will help guide you through the Infinite Forest - "a simulated reality in the middle of time, controlled by the Vex" - Mercury's new patrol zone. The expansion will reveal new information on the Vex, with details on what they've been doing through time and space throughout Destiny up til now. Does it have something to do with milk? As previously announced, the DLC will add "a new quest, new missions, new strikes, new adventures, and the new raid activity". Does that mean a whole new raid? "A new raid activity," Bungie repeated."

LOL @ the faction rally changes. Strikes still aren't close to rewarding enough even after the public event and enemy supply nerfs which absolutely weren't needed in the first place. All they had to do was make strikes and crucible matches similarly rewarding for the time invested, and they still managed to screw that up. Anyone can easily run 2-4 heroic events in the time it takes to do one strike. Like who at Bungie looks at those numbers and thinks those ratios are even close to correct? I mean really. When anyone who plays the game with any regularity can take one look at those numbers and know in 5 seconds that they don't make sense, it really makes you question what the fuck Bungie is doing, doesn't it?

I don't understand why most all those changes were made.
For example, why lower the scoring limit for Control or Clash? Clash was only a 7 to 8 min game at 75...dropping it to 50 will make things a lot shorter. A five minute game? What's the point? I guess one positive is more game per hour? So I get more crucible tokens per hour?
And reducing public event tokens? And bumping up the strikes? I am still not going to do Strikes. It takes well over 20 plus minutes for what is pretty much no prize winnings. Nope.
EDIT...kind of said what Heb said. I just don't understand developers. To much nerd shit going on, they need to get off the screens and see how real human beings behave and think.

Public events seemed to be one of the things they did well to encourage spontaneous social engagement. And now they are making that less rewarding? /Facepalm

It is for faction rallies, but still. Will make grinding ranks a chore given the issue with dupes and stuff not dropping. I don't think I got the chest piece from NM for my Titan and I hit rank 30.

First of all, these are for the faction rallys.... not for the regular stuff you're doing right now
Just the faction rallys
Secondly.... People do PE for the chest rewards?
I did them for the milestones (3 exotics last week) and for the bright engrams.
I mean... yea, the tokens and blues are a nice plus.... but milestones are where it's at, baby!
EDIT:
Thirdly... things to make crucible go by quicker are fine with me... especially IB slaughter fests

I don't know the game's rewards well enough but off the top of my head I could see them think, "hmmm... people aren't buying enough silver." and then they do this. I've seen that in other games where they changed the rewards to try and up to the pay stuff.

Info from the Activision earnings call
EDIT: UPDATES FROM CALL / PRESS RELEASE BELOW: This was another strong quarter. We delivered record results and impressive engagement. With the recently released Destiny 2 off to a strong start Launched in September, Destiny 2 is the best-selling console game year-to-date in the U.S.2 Digital mix was over 50% of console full game sell-through, a new record for the company. In October, we introduced the Destiny franchise to PC gamers on Blizzard's Battle.net® platform, opening the franchise to new global audiences and future growth opportunities. Activision and Bungie's Destiny 2 is well ahead of the highly engaging original Destiny on time spent per player and attach rate to the Expansion Pass.

Translated " WE DON'T WANT TO TELL EVERYONE HOW MANY GAMES WE ACTUALLY SOLD (AS IT'S LESS THAN WHAT DESTINY 1 SOLD,.....SO WE'LL INSTEAD JUST TYPE OUT A BUNCH OF NUMERICAL JIBBERISH THAT SOUNDS IMPRESSIVE, AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S ENOUGH TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDERS"Nice job Activison. Well played by using the new measure of "time spent per player", and "attach rate to expansion pass", instead of just telling us if they sold 7, 8 or 9 million games.

To much nerd shit going on, they need to get off the screens and see how real human beings behave and think. Scoring limits were changed because games rarely go to the score limit unless it's a complete steamrolling. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a Clash game NOT go to the time limit -- most games end in the 30s or 40s. Same thing with Supremacy, except those scores are even lower usually. Control seems to have more games go to the score limit, but again, those are beat downs where it doesn't really matter. I don't think you're going to see much difference outside of those complete curb-stompings that might end 15-30 seconds sooner than they would have. Keep in mind the token adjustments are only for faction rallies. I don't think you were around for the first faction rally so you're not going to notice any changes there anyway.

More from the call
Revenue per player is highest ever on Destiny 2. Talked highly about player engagement on Overwatch and positive player feedback on CoD. No mention on these items on Destiny 2. Question on e-Sports, lack of profits, and other games other than Overwatch. Answer sees similar structure of future revenue and profits as in professional sports. No mention of leagues other than Overwatch. Does not plan on announcing anything else right now.

Hours spend per player is a really soft metric easy to splice and dice

I assume it's the Vanguard leadership and their lightless journey, Hawthorne giving the perspective of how people lived outside the wall, sans light... Ghaul was well done (though I was really hoping he'd escape to the Leviathan and we'd have to kick his ass there) Hours spend per player is a really soft metric easy to splice and dice I guess... but that's pretty standard for all destiny metrics, no?

Most importantly from the earnings call:
Reaction to call is positive. Shares are up ~2% after hours, which is significant.
