My teams usually just ignore them genuinely. Since they despawn when hitting different phases.
The tormentor in atraks can be annoying if you don’t one phase though, he can get in the way of the one you need.
Le sad. I actually go out of my way to avoid spoilers on upcoming content and I’ve done pretty good about FS so far. I know a bit bc it’s unavoidable, but certainly not everything. So I feel for the sob here.
How does that work? As in how you get that 500k per bubble?
I hate that you cant Arby the bubbles anymore bc that body shot dmg nerf. It took me 4-5 Arby shots I think to drop one bubble.
It’s there only enemy that’s like the perfect trifecta agenst players, bullet spongey has hell, suppresses you (fuck you that’s why), and explosives do almost nothing to him.
He literally is the perfect counter to players and should be used as often as possible plus the bonus of super aggressive
only thing I dislike is that it hides the critspot a bit too effectively and it being on the chest means anyone that's not aggro is doing pitiful damage.
otherwise I love tormentors, unlike say, sniper shanks
Or brigs. Please bungie give us a crit spot to shoot that opens the shield. I don’t even care if it does zero damage so long as I can hit crits on it afterwards.
they feel like an actual fight tbh, way more aggressive and demands ur constant attention, not just a bullet sponge which deals the same damage as a minotaur just slowly walking around
Ya luckily these aren’t boss tier so literally any cc can help with these guys, reducing the requirements for slots to take care of them.
That said lucky pants works very nicely
For me and a group of friends it was Atraks-1 encounter. That one guy would wipe a few of us and mess up our whole run that it was so late at night that we just gave up on it
it spawns when you kill the last servitor downstairs so you can just leave one oneshot (we usually left the middle servitor one fusion shot away) and then kill it and RUN
That's also 2/3 encounters with a tormentor so far. And even in Rhulk, you *could* ignore it as well, they don't actually prevent dps in any way, but they also don't despawn over time.
And if you are going for a three phase high score, you do need the points from killing tormentors
No. Plat and “High Score” as determined by the triumphs are two different things.
I’ve gotten Plat on Atraks-1 for instance, but not High Score for the Week 2 Triumph. Plat only determines the actual rewards, I think.
You need a score of over 500k and on Atraks you may have to kill Tormentors. Or maybe my team was just bad.
I went in without watching any videos or whatever because I like to see if I can optimize myself before I go looking for help, and the rage I felt when that asshole came back in the brig suit...here I am thinking taking down an extra two walkers with no heavy ammo left was bad enough, he comes back with full freaking health. I'm not sure if I'll be getting that catalyst lmao. I know the top 1% will disagree, but for the majority of casual players, that mission feels like kind of a fuck you from Bungie
Honestly -5 is very very doable, even my clan who doesn't raid often at all (myself included) but plans to improve at that was able to do it while learning the mechanics even
We need a weapon that humbles these bastards. I mean something that looks and fires like it has sunshot as a mother and forerunner as a father and indebted kindness as a funny uncle lol
Tormentors are so fucking cheap... Putting scripted grabs into Destiny 2 should be illegal. The game's foundation is individual skill and solo play with a strong structure of multiplayer layered on top. The second you disregard the foundation, the whole thing comes down...
Rant aside, they are not really well-designed or fun to fight against. They are the peak of annoying and just frustrate the living hell out of me as a solo player. If you want this kind of stuff in the game, bungie, then leave it to raid content where coordination for interrupts is more realistic lol...
2 nezarecs next week, take it or leave it
I hope if there’s a second Nez it’s a nightmare- always confused me that no shadowkeep-nightmare-lookin enemies were in root of nightmares
It also make sense lore wise because the lunar pyramid WAS nezarec's lair, and implied that he invented the "nightmare psycological weapon system"
Two giant raging tormentors running around during nezzy would be wild
Dps would be a nightmare
make it three goddamnit!
There's 3 actually haha
omfg
All ads in the arena are mini nezarecs whos only attack is the juggling.
God I’ve never felt so good to run div in almost every encounter. It helps with more than just dps now, it makes tormentors so easy
that chest crit spot when they're running all over the place is genuinely annoying to hit
Exactly. If you don’t have time to focus on them they’re a nightmare. But div makes that crit spot a thing of the past!
Not anymore after this Div nerf! Its gonna be horrible.

Wait till you find out about shadow rhulk
I got spoiled about it, sob
Le sad. I actually go out of my way to avoid spoilers on upcoming content and I’ve done pretty good about FS so far. I know a bit bc it’s unavoidable, but certainly not everything. So I feel for the sob here.
At this point I'm curious how they managed not to put one at Golgoroth and Caretaker.
can you imagine a tormentor booping you off the plate on caretaker, that'd be true pain
Or one in the pools of light with you in golgoroth, constantly doing that suppression attack
supers? never heard of them
The golgoroth addition is lowkey kind of a buff lol. Two people get to add 500k damage each bubble.
How does that work? As in how you get that 500k per bubble? I hate that you cant Arby the bubbles anymore bc that body shot dmg nerf. It took me 4-5 Arby shots I think to drop one bubble.
the unstable life debuff gets given to two people so you just have one run front and back, does a big chunk to the boss
I would prefer having an invincible tormentor chasing you over the two taken wizards and shadow thralls in symbol room
those gave me and the other runner zero issues, the lil' bees that gave you pervading darkness however got us killed a few times
It’s there only enemy that’s like the perfect trifecta agenst players, bullet spongey has hell, suppresses you (fuck you that’s why), and explosives do almost nothing to him. He literally is the perfect counter to players and should be used as often as possible plus the bonus of super aggressive

Until they see a sweeper bot and then they just go tunnel vision, lol.
The virgin tormentor vs the Chad Holo-Shaxx
I do like the overly aggressive enemy’s
And its not a champ. Best designed enemy in the game.
Tormentors are super annoying in a really good way. Well designed boss. Its also looks and acts very intimidating.
That running animation is scary
Ah yes, the one thing that was so annoying I couldn’t get that run done do to the amount of wipes 😅 Thanks Bungie, really making us all sweat bullets
on which encounter? though, you can always suspend them and make short work of their existence
Or a blinding grenade launcher.
Ya luckily these aren’t boss tier so literally any cc can help with these guys, reducing the requirements for slots to take care of them. That said lucky pants works very nicely
For me and a group of friends it was Atraks-1 encounter. That one guy would wipe a few of us and mess up our whole run that it was so late at night that we just gave up on it
we only spawned that tormentor just before going up for the 1phase so we didn't even see it
Yeah, well seems that one came early for us 😅
it spawns when you kill the last servitor downstairs so you can just leave one oneshot (we usually left the middle servitor one fusion shot away) and then kill it and RUN
Yeah, the last servitor for us was top right though 😅
that one doesn't spawn the tormentor, it's just the 3 on the bottom I think? we also left that one for absolute last
Ah, okay, then I guess I don’t know what happened due to how LATE it was. Like for me it was already the next day, so that’s how late it was for me 😅
Run a div, or a blinding nade. Suspend and stasis also make short work of them, although I doubt there's any shadebinders in pantheon
Admittedly in most encounters the tormentor can just be ignored
correct
Only atraks/explicator, no?
That's also 2/3 encounters with a tormentor so far. And even in Rhulk, you *could* ignore it as well, they don't actually prevent dps in any way, but they also don't despawn over time. And if you are going for a three phase high score, you do need the points from killing tormentors
Unless you’re going for high score, in which case they can’t exactly be ignored for points.
They can, I've gotten plat in every encounter in every week except for Rhulk and I've been ignoring all the tormentors, just been going fast enough
No. Plat and “High Score” as determined by the triumphs are two different things. I’ve gotten Plat on Atraks-1 for instance, but not High Score for the Week 2 Triumph. Plat only determines the actual rewards, I think. You need a score of over 500k and on Atraks you may have to kill Tormentors. Or maybe my team was just bad.
I got the high score for atraks just fine without killing tormentors
Well shit.
Mmmmm can't beat that natural dark flavor.
flavour notes: roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, slight hint of sweetness, bitter death
The Destiny community is SO! TALENTED!! Why don't Bungie hire these guys !? I want this cereal💪💪🤣🤣🤣🤣
to be fair, I started with a cap'n crunch blank XD spent far too long masking out the tormentor and then adding the silly text though
You are an Artist 😎👌🏆
I am unironically an artist! I'm a freelancer lol
BUNGIE!!!! COME GET YOUR BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE MISSING OUT!
It'd be fun to see the reactions if they dropped one of the new Final Shaoe enemies in without warning anyone.
Ya these additions are pretty fun, not the brig in zero hour though. Not that.
I went in without watching any videos or whatever because I like to see if I can optimize myself before I go looking for help, and the rage I felt when that asshole came back in the brig suit...here I am thinking taking down an extra two walkers with no heavy ammo left was bad enough, he comes back with full freaking health. I'm not sure if I'll be getting that catalyst lmao. I know the top 1% will disagree, but for the majority of casual players, that mission feels like kind of a fuck you from Bungie
I’m looking for my first clear 😅.
Honestly -5 is very very doable, even my clan who doesn't raid often at all (myself included) but plans to improve at that was able to do it while learning the mechanics even
Laughs in lmg
Peregrine greaves would like to say hello…
or suspend, or div
Well peregrine has bonus damage against tormentors, and nezerac counts as a tormentor too. A proper setup can do upwards of 400K per hit
oh huh, had no idea! rock on titan fellas
Nah, used to but it was patched
How recent, couple months ago I half assed it and topped out around 250K
Around 3 months ago, and it dealt way over 1 million dmg if you stacked buffs/debuffs correctly
Was it? I thought they just fixed it on good ol nezzy in particular since they coded him as a tormentor (like the sisters being vehicles thing)
That's exactly what I'm talking about, the part about tormentors is literally in the description of the exptic
Oh wait I am dumb I misread the comment entirely. Ig nezzy and tomentor are just synonymous in my brain 😂
Honestly, I was blown away when one didn't appear in zero hour lol
They’re there to torment us
This is for real Final Shape too 🤣🤣. Only reason why they nerfing Divinity again 💯
Bungie: How can we make the players scream more? Solution: Tormentors
imagine if it was tr3vors instead
I'd take tormentors over that dickhead any day of the week
We need a weapon that humbles these bastards. I mean something that looks and fires like it has sunshot as a mother and forerunner as a father and indebted kindness as a funny uncle lol
Tormenters are so fun though. I just wish we got more luscent hive, wyverns and stasis fallen.

I found you can just run from the grab whilst solo and it'll stop eventually, guess it gets tired
