For those wondering what to get, here are a few helpful hints.
Plan C[Image via Destiny]
Plan C is one of the better Fusion Rifles in the game due to its stability and quick charge time. Its a gimme during activities with Arc Burn active and is an excellent option in the Crucible. Its perks include bonus accuracy to hip fire, reduced charge time, and fast equip/charge time after swapping weapons.
No Backup Plans[Image via Bungie]
No Backup Plans has received a nice upgrade for Year Two, but its still a purely personal defense armor piece. The Force Multiplier perk is the signature item on the Gauntlets and triggers the Force Barrier with Shotgun kills, and the overshields duration is increased. This turns Defenders into a more aggressive sub-class in PVP and increases survivability in tight PVE encounters.
The optional Perks include Rain Blows and Impact Induction for a choice between faster melee speed or bonus grenade energy on melee hits. Theres also a choice between faster Shotgun or Rocket Launcher reloads.
The put 65 Strength stat roll is very average for No Backup Plans. Consider re-rolling to shoot for a higher pure Strength stat or a balanced split stat roll if needed.
ATS/8 Tarantella
The ATS/8 Tarantella is for Hunter Bladedancers in Destiny. The namesake intrinsic perk provides reduces Arc damage from PVE enemies plus Arc Grenades and Arc Blade recharge faster. A great piece for Bladedancers, especially with the buffs they received in the 2.4.0 update. Meanwhile, it also comes with perks to carry more Auto Rifle or Fusion Rifle ammo plus either more defense against Arc Burn or increased armor when playing Bladedancer.
The split 65 Intellect and 62 Discipline stat roll is okay for this piece. There isnt much flexibility with changing this piece via Glass Needles, so only consider re-rolling for different ammo bonuses.
Heart of the Praxic Fire[Image via Destiny]
Heart of the Praxic Fire is to Sunsinger Warlocks what Obsidian Mind is to Voidwalker Warlocks. Its Praise the Sun perk decreases all cooldowns while the Radiance Super is active. This turns Sunbros into grenade-chucking and orb-generating machines. It also comes with perks to carry more Pulse Rifle or Sidearm ammo. It also has the option for better Solar Burn Defense or increased Solar Armor as a Sunsinger.
The 64 Intellect / 64 Discipline stat roll is solid for this chest armor. Not much reason to re-roll unless you want different ammo bonuses.

Terry Jones, an original member of Monty Python, has a form of dementia that is affecting his ability to communicate, his family said in a statement.
The statement, published on Thursday on the website of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in Wales, also known as BAFTA Cymru, said: Terry has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia, a variant of frontotemporal dementia. This illness affects his ability to communicate, and he is no longer able to give interviews.
On Friday, Ben Timlett, a producer on one of Mr. Joness films, said in an email that Mr. Joness son Bill confirmed that the statement had been released to BAFTA Cymru on behalf of the family.
BAFTA Cymru chose Terry Jones a Welsh comedian known for his Python characters like a doting mother of a coal worker son criticized for being a slacker by his playwright father and an everyday Superman who needs his bicycle repaired to receive its award for Outstanding Contribution to Film and Television.

Hannah Raybould, the director of BAFTA Cymru, said a retrospective of Mr. Joness work starting from 1969 would still be celebrated at an awards ceremony in Cardiff on Oct. 2.
Terry is proud and honored to be recognized in this way and is looking forward to the celebrations, the statement said.
Lydia Jones, a spokeswoman for BAFTA Cymru, said Friday that the organization had been told there would be no further details on Mr. Joness condition.
Primary progressive aphasia is a rare nervous system syndrome that affects a persons ability to express his or her thoughts and understanding, or to find words, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms begin gradually, often before age 65, and worsen over time.
The news of the diagnosis was also reported by the BBC and Britains National Press Association.
The announcement of Mr. Joness illness dominated Monty Python fan sites on Friday, where it was described as sad and terrible news.
Eric Idle, a co-founder of the ribald, outrageous and internationally acclaimed British troupe, tweeted thanks to fans for their support while noting Mr. Joness participation in the 2014 stage reunion of the comedy gang.
Mr. Jones, 74, was born in Colwyn Bay, a seaside community on the north coast of Wales. He has written and directed dramas, presented documentaries, composed operas and penned short stories, as BAFTA Cymru noted. But it is his work in the Monty Python television series, which was brought to the stage in London in 2014, that arguably contributed most to his fame.
He worked on some of the troupes best-known films, including Life of Brian, 1979 (director and a writer); The Meaning of Life, 1983 (a writer and, with Terry Gilliam, a director); and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 1975 (a writer and co-director).
Bicycle Repairman - Monty Python"s The Flying Circus
Last year, Mr. Jones released the documentary Boom Bust Boom, about how the economy cycles through periods of growth and collapse.
This film is about the Achilles heel of capitalism, Mr. Jones says at the opening of the film. How human nature drives the economy to crisis after crisis, time and time again.
A review in The New York Times called it ominous but enjoyable. In addition to co-writing, Mr. Jones helped to direct the project.
Lab tests have confirmed that a Jurupa Valley child has leprosy, or Hansens disease, Riverside County public health officials reported Thursday, Sept. 22.
The findings by the National Hansens Disease (Leprosy) Laboratory Research Program in Baton Rouge, La., supported a local doctors diagnosis that a student at Indian Hills Elementary School had leprosy.
A second student who may be related to the other child also had been diagnosed with the disease, but lab results did not confirm that the second person has leprosy.
UPDATE: Leprosy worries remain for some Jurupa Valley parents
News of the lab-test confirmation was provided to Jurupa Unified School District officials about 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22.
School officials quickly alerted parents by phone and email, and district Superintendent Elliott Duchon drove to Indian Hills Elementary School to answer questions from parents.
We want to assure people that the school is a safe place. Theres no hazard of contagion at the school, Duchon said later by phone.
Duchon said the best way to protect the children from possible mistreatment when they return to school is to maintain their privacy.
The only way to protect the two students is for nobody to know who they are, he said. ... The message to the other students is the school is safe, was safe, always has been safe.
During a press conference Thursday afternoon, Riverside Countys health officer said the infected child is being treated, is expected to recover, and poses no risk to the public.
The risk to the public was near zero before and now it is nil, said Dr. Cameron Kaiser.
During the same Riverside press conference, Riverside County Director of Disease Control Barbara Cole said the child was infected through prolonged contact with another infected person.
That other person is not in Riverside County, said Cole, adding she could not provide more details.
Leprosy experts say the disease is not highly contagious and is not easily transmitted in a group setting like classrooms. Leprosy is not contagious 24 hours after a patient begins taking a combination of antibiotics.
Leprosy is really hard to get and really easy to treat, Kaiser said.
A school neighbor said he was shocked to hear leprosy had been confirmed.
Its surprising. We hear things in the news, but we never imagine these things will happen close by, said 23-year-old Cristian Monreal.
Monreal, who lives across the street from Indian Hills school, said he felt sympathy for the child now confirmed to have the disease.
Its scary and sad at the same time, knowing that little kid has to go through that, he said.
Krista Gregg, whose three children go to the school, said the lab results dont bother her. She researched the disease by talking with her family doctor and looking at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
Im not nervous at all about sending my kids there, she said while watching her second-grader play Little League baseball at Clay Park.

Terry Jones of Monty Python Diagnosed With Dementia
9:43 AM PDT 9/23/2016 by the Associated Press
LONDON (AP) Terry Jones, one of the founding members of comedy troupe Monty Python, has been diagnosed with dementia.
In a statement released by Britain"s film academy, a representative says the 74-year-old has primary progressive aphasia, which erodes the ability to use language. As a result, Jones can no longer give interviews.
News of Jones" illness came in a statement announcing he is to receive an award for outstanding contribution to film and television from the academy"s Welsh branch.
In the late 1960s Jones, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and the late Graham Chapman formed the surreal and anarchic Monty Python"s Flying Circus.
Jones directed the Python films Life Of Brian and Monty Python"s The Meaning Of Life.With Gilliam, he co-directed Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
Ted Cruz endorses Donald Trump days ahead of first US presidential debate "After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump," Cruz wrote in a Facebook post.
"A year ago, I pledged to endorse the Republican nominee, and I am honoring that commitment. And if you don"t want to see a Hillary Clinton presidency, I encourage you to vote for him."
"I am greatly honored by the endorsement of Senator Cruz," Trump said in a statement obtained by CNN. "We have fought the battle and he was a tough and brilliant opponent. I look forward to working with him for many years to come in order to make America great again."
The move -- three days before Trump"s critical first debate with Clinton -- comes as the Trump and Cruz camps have moved closer in recent weeks.
Trump"s vice presidential nominee Mike Pence played a key role in bringing Cruz into the fold. Pence and Cruz traded multiple messages, then spoke at length once on the phone and again in person, when Pence visited Capitol Hill a few weeks ago, a source close to Pence said.
Trump has hired key Cruz allies such as Kellyanne Conway as his campaign manager, and Jason Miller as a spokesman.
Wednesday, Trump"s campaign expressed support for a Cruz-backed, Internet-related proposal in government funding talks in the Senate.
Friday, Trump released a new list of conservative judges likely to appeal to the former Supreme Court clerk -- including perhaps Cruz"s closest friend in Congress, Utah Sen. Mike Lee.
Cruz cited Trump"s pledges on the judiciary in his Facebook post. "We know, without a doubt, that every Clinton appointee would be a left-wing ideologue. Trump, in contrast, has promised to appoint justices "in the mold of (the late Antonin) Scalia," Cruz wrote. "For some time, I have been seeking greater specificity on this issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that, releasing a very strong list of potential Supreme Court nominees including Sen. Mike Lee, who would make an extraordinary justice and making an explicit commitment to nominate only from that list."
A Cruz endorsement could be the last pillar to helping Trump shore up the support of conservatives who have remained reticent about supporting his campaign.
Trump has already gotten most Republicans and conservatives on board with his campaign -- largely by reassuring them on the Supreme Court and on issues like the Second Amendment and abortion. But Cruz"s principled opposition to offering his support has given some conservatives high-profile cover.
Just as Cruz"s refusal to endorse Trump at the RNC fueled Democrats" efforts to paint Trump as divisive even within his own party, Cruz"s endorsement will help undermine that narrative -- suggesting to conservatives unsure about Trump that perhaps the brash billionaire has changed, and can be trusted to bring conservative change to Washington.
"Lyin" Ted" and "utterly amoral"
The move marks a dramatic turnaround from the personal insults Cruz and Trump traded during the previous year.
The two men clashed repeatedly during the primaries, as Trump taunted the senator with the nickname "Lyin" Ted," suggested Cruz wasn"t eligible to be president due to his Canadian birthplace, and even speculated that Cruz"s father was involved in the JFK assassination. Trump also said Cruz should "be careful" or he would "spill the beans on your wife," and retweeted an unflattering picture of Heidi Cruz. Those tweets have not been deleted from Trump"s account.On his last day of the GOP campaign -- the Indiana primary in early May -- Cruz let loose against Trump, calling the businessman a "serial philanderer," "utterly amoral," and "a narcissist at a level I don"t think this country"s ever seen.
At the RNC in Cleveland, Cruz gave a memorable speech espousing conservative values but ended without endorsing Trump, as Trump allies booed from the convention floor. "Don"t stay home in November," Cruz said. "Stand and speak and vote your conscience."
The next day, he defended the move by citing Trump"s attacks against his family.
"I"m not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father," Cruz told members of the Texas delegation. "That pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you go and slander and attack Heidi that I"m going to nonetheless come as a servile puppy dog and say, "Thank you very much for maligning my wife and maligning my father.""After the convention, Trump said that he would not accept Cruz"s endorsement if he offered it.
"I don"t want his endorsement. If he gives it, I will not accept it, just so you understand. If he gives it I will -- I will not accept. It won"t matter. Honestly he should"ve done it because nobody cares and he would"ve been in better shape for four years from now," Trump said.
Facing Senate primary in 2018?
Cruz"s move may also be politically expedient. He faces a possible 2018 Senate primary challenge from Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, who has increasingly made an issue of Cruz"s failure to endorse Trump.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has said Republicans who don"t back Trump could pay a price down the road. And Trump also floated the idea of setting up a super PAC to oppose Cruz if he decided to run for office again.
Clinton"s campaign, after Cruz"s message posted on Facebook, was happy to note a number of shots Cruz took at Trump during the primary, including when he called on the businessman to release his tax returns.
Clinton"s official twitter account retweeted a tweet Cruz sent during the primary that said, "I"ve released 9 years of tax returns. RT if you agree it"s time for Donald Trump to release his!"
Clinton"s campaign has been hounding Trump to release his taxes, arguing that he isn"t doing so because they show shady business deals and ties to Russia. Trump has said he would release his taxes after an IRS audit.
Clinton"s vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, campaigning in Austin, Texas, Friday, said he couldn"t support someone who used the same language Trump did about Cruz"s father.
"I just can"t help but say this," Kaine said. "Donald Trump suggested that Ted Cruz"s dad was involved in the JFK assassination. Now we know that that is false, but false isn"t, there"s not the right word to describe what that is. It is so outrageously false. And as far as I know Donald Trump has not retracted it. As far as I know he has not apologized for it. And so if somebody said that about my dad they would never have me as a supporter for anything."
Radio host Steve Deace tweeted his disappointment, calling the move a mistake and speculating that Cruz backers may not all follow the senator.
"I think it"s the worst political miscalculation of my lifetime. I hope I am wrong. The people will decide that," Deace tweeted.
CNN"s Jeremy Diamond, Tom LoBianco, Dan Merica, Betsy Klein, and Dan Berman contributed to this report.
Hawaii Five-0 6x25 McDanno Scenes - Danny Donates Half His Liver to Steve

Hawaii Five-O
The hype and excitement for "Hawaii Five-O" Season 7 have intensified now that its premiere is just a few days away. Fans are excited to see what is in store for the show when it returns on air, which is made more special with its 150th milestone episode happening in the upcoming season. But, a major character will not be around to celebrate the event.
Past and present
According to "Hawaii Five-O"Season 7 spoilers, the new episodes will feature the return of some familiar faces that might have a big impact on Steve McGarrett (Alex O"Loughlin). His ex, Catherine Rollins (Michelle Borth) is said to be dropping by. Her appearance may complicate matters in Steve"s life as he is now involved romantically with Lynn Downey (Sarah Carter).
The handsome detective will not have anything to worry about, however since the past and present women in his life will be coming back to "Hawaii Five-O" Season 7 for very different purposes. Rollins" return will not be to reignite their relationship but is purely for work.
EP Peter Lenkov emphasized in an interview that Rollins" return is plot driven rather than what it is being thought of by the fans of the former couple. He added that people are misinterpreting her return as coming back into the relationship and to start all over again, which is not. In fact, Lenkov closed the door on the relationship since he doesn"t think it will happen considering everything they have gone through.
Adam and Kono wedding
Lenkov however teased of another couplewho will be taking their relationship into another level in "Hawaii Five-O" Season 7. It was earlier reported that Adam (Ian Anthony Dale) will be released from prison and will finally marry Kono (Grace Park). There have even been talks of them starting a family together.
Lenkov revealed that their recent predicament has given them a much clearer perspective about their lives. In "Hawaii Five-O" Season 7, Adam and Kono are just trying to move on from the worst moment in their lives.
Danny will not be there
Meanwhile, Lenkov confirmed the rumors via Twitter that Scott Caanwill not be appearing in "Hawaii Five-O" episode 150 due to scheduling problems. The actor, who plays Danny in the series, has previously announced about his limited appearance in Season 7. He will just be in a number of episodes and unfortunately, the 150th episode is not one of them. Scott Caan has several projects lined up but is more popularly known for his role in the Ocean"s Eleven movie franchise.
All new "Hawaii Five-O" Season 7 episodes will start airing on September 23, Friday, on CBS.
