Aegis | Destiny 2: Effective Damage Testing @TheAegisRelic | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
The conclusion of this hopefully enjoyable DPS journey. For any of you that were asking questions about my testing methodology as well as my spreadsheet, this video is here to answer all of them. While I’ll be keeping the spreadsheet updated, this marks the formal end to the main DPS in Destiny 2 series. Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone involved in my testing adventure.

Note: This run was re-timed to 18:07 per the new equalization and boss kill rules :)
Proud to say that I finally have a good raid time... really proud of every single member of this team as well as everyone that helped us along the way. Running a raid with an open playing field and no existing framework was certainly a challenge, but I can comfortably say we earned this time through hours and days of gruelling practice and testing. Given the recent Storm Grenade nerf, the one floor has become inconsistent enough that we no longer feel the raid is worth running. This raid is an incredible raid to speedrun, and the pain and inconsistency we (and many other teams) faced and eventually overcame only made the end result all the more rewarding. As Ritz would say... were finally free.
There are two timer pauses in this run following speedrun.com rules for the Vow of the Disciple raid. Both timer pauses were implemented in order to eliminate hardware advantages between competing teams. Between the Caretaker and Exhibition encounters, the timer pauses on the 1-3 skippers last input upon hitting the Exhibition load zone while the 5 other members of the fireteam rejoin, preventing any unfair disadvantages from slow load times (or in our case, an unavoidable error code).
Between the Exhibition and Rhulk encounters, the timer pauses as soon as the Apocalypse objective marker begins to form on a players screen, and resumes when the 3-4 skipper revives themselves to start the Rhulk encounter. This pause was recently introduced as a result of an ongoing reward processing bug, which prevents the Rhulk encounter from being started while the previous encounters rewards are being processed. The reason why the 3-4 skipper is allowed to move during the timer pause is because under normal circumstances, the 3-4 skipper would be going up to spawn Rhulks aura in by triggering his cocoon animation during the end of Exhibition — as a result of the processing bug, the cocoon does not spawn in until well after the Exhibition encounter has completed.
